iTlMBERING MINES IS COSTLY
Owners Compelled to Put Millions OF
- Dollars Underground Every Year
of Operation.

Nearly 90,0O0,OO0 cubic feet of tim
Der are placed in the anthracite mines
of Pennsylvania every year, if an esti
mate in the Colliery Engineer. lately
acquired by Coal Age, that the amount
of timber in anthracite mines is ap-
prOXimately one cubic foot for every
ton of coal mined, is correct The tim
bered gangways and drifts cover a
vast extent, exceeding 1000 miles, and
the closely timbered shafts with their
miles of heavy guide timbers which
must be constantly replaced, form
large item. The total output since the
beginning of anthracite mining is over
2,500,000,000 tons.
A billion tons of water, or over II
times as many tons as the coal pro-
duced during the year, must be pumped
out Of the anthracite mines every year.
According to the chief Of the Pennsyl-
vania department of mines the timber
ing is an even greater expense than
the pumping The cost Of placing this
vast forest below ground is stagger-
ing.
The cost of the material is given as
about 6.5 cents per cubic foot for
round timber and 20 cents per cubic
foot for sawed timber. At the lower
figure this would make 90,0O0,0oo cubic
feet cost s5,850,000. In addition to this,
there are millions of mine ties, and
heavy white oak is used for the mine
cars. The use of steel timbers, which
are being adopted on account of their
longevity, for main gangways, turn.
outs, pump rooms and shaft and slope
bottoms, will add to the total cost of
mining for the next few years, but will
effect final saving. Most of the tim.
Der now used in the anthracite mines
is yellow pine from the South.

Side, as that was the district occu-
pied by the wellto-do, fashionable
Jews of the city. Only recently
Sinai Temple and Sinai Center were
erected there at a cost of $4,000
In the meantime a new exodus and
new migration have set in. The
Russian and Polish Jews of the
West Side who have prospered are
moving to the South, while the
fashionables of the South are moving
northward. We understand that DR..
Hirsch has recently voiced his in
dignation at his members desertion
of the Sinai neighborhood 1t seems
that Israel is determined not to re-
main at the foot of Sinai AS long
as this migratory tendency con-
tinues, the only solution we can
suggest is that, for time at least,
we build tabernacles instead of tenn
pies.

of succeeding well-known PERSONAL
tiles. When Winston Churchill was

OUR NATIONAL CHARACTER
ISTICS.
IS. N. D.

An investigation ought to be a
good thing. 1t is intended to reveal
both the good and evil Of any situa
ton and generally it does. Often it
is the means of arousing the public
conscience. Sometimes it is the
consequence of an aroused public
conscience.
The St. Paul Association of Com
merce recently sent an investigator
to the "West Side Flats" so-called.
This district constitutes the princi-
pal Ghetto of St. Paul. He found
conditions deplorable. He reported
them fearlessly. He made some ex-
cellent recommendations for their
removal. With most of them we
coincide heartily.
The West Side" is one of the dis
tricts that needs cleaning up, needs
new school, needs play grounds,
needs paved streets and sanitary i'm
provements. There can be no doubt
about this. The oftener the district
is investigated, the more frequently
these needs are pointed out, the
sooner the public will insist on these
improvements, the more quickly they
are actually made, the better for the
"West Side" and for ST. Paul.
But investigators are human and
accidents happen to them. The re-
port of the investigator of the As
ISOLATION of Commerce contains this
sentence:
"Many of the Jews who live here
are junk dealers. This aggravates
an apparent national tendency to
have their ground covered with dirt,
rubbish and other unsightly things"
Now for Mr.. Investigator to de-
clare in this off-handed manner that
the Jews are nation or a rationale
ty is piece of boldness that angels

succeeds Lloyd-George in the post
created by the man of the hour in
London. This post would not have
come to him had he not rendered inn
portant services in the conduct of the
war and had he not proved himself
capable of succeeding such tower
ing personality as yd-George.
Probably the Importance of the post
will be diminished now that its or
iginal occupant has resigned it and
also in view of the fact that probably
the most important work of the Min
istry of Munitions has been done in
providing the equipment for the big
push now being carried on by the
British forces in Flanders. Plenty
of hard work remains, however, for
the new incumbent who has quietly
handled some of the big financial
problems of the war. The appoint
ment puts him in the same company
with Foreign Secretary Grey and
David LloydGeorge and makes it
possible for him to be one of the
peace plenipotentiaries after the war.
The new Minister of Munitions is
the second son of the first Lord
Swaythling, founder of the London
banking firm Of Samuel Montagu &
Co. The family name originally was
Samuel. A year ago he married a
n-Jewess who has adopted Juda-
ism. The first Lord Swaythling in
his will forbad the marriage of his
children to on-Jews.-The Sen

mo HEBREWS RECEIVED"

Our attention has been called to a
number of hotel folders in which
Objectionable language has been
used. One of these folders sent out
by the Lewiston" Estes Park, Col
orado, contains this sentence:
"No Hebrew or tubercular guests
received"
The Anti-Defamation League is
anxious to acquaint itself with as
many of the hotels that use this kind
Of Objectionable advertising as it
can, and it requests that every tour
list who finds such matter, to COM
municate either with the Secretary
of the Anti-Defamation League,
Leon L. Lewis, 1928 Tribune Bldg,
Chicago or with the local represent
tative of the Anti-Defamation
League.
The League is DESTROYS of taking
this matter up through the proper
channels and it will be grateful for
information from those knowing of
any hotel which excludes Hebrew
guests and which advertises that
fact.

would hesitate to make. Perhaps
he is unaware that on this very issue
American Jewry is at this moment
split into two very antagonlstlc
camps. Perhaps he does not know
that because of this issue we have
two Jewish Congresses in America
instead Of one. Possibly he is ig
norant of the fact that even the judi
cial ermine OF the Supreme Court of
the United States did not spare Mr..
Louis D. Brandeis a public rebuke
very recently from those Of our peo-
pie who doubt or dispute the nation
atty of the Jew.
But overlooking this comparative
ly harmless error what about the &C
cusation that disorder, untidiness
and uncleanliness is a characteristic
of the Jew?
Mr.. Investigator states in another
part of his report that it is based in
part at least upon an hours cursory
ramble through the district. Is it
not rather risky to base far-reaching
chronological conclusions on SO brief
and restricted an investigation? Nor
does it seem entirely fair to con-
denim the Jewish people en- masse
upon hearing SO one-sided and
biased.
The error made by Mr.. Investiga-
tor was that he attempted to draw
conclusions not within the scope of
the things investigated, in fact, quite
beyond his field of vision. No one
apologies for the "West Side" No
one attempts to justify it. 1t is what
it is from numerous causes, but one
of these causes is American St. Paul
with its policy of park for Summit
Avenue and of dump for the "West
Side' Within a mile Of the "West
Side" the city will soon spend, per-
haps half million dollars for COM
paratively small park against the re-
monstrance of nearly ninety per cent
of the persons within the district to
be assessed for the park. Perhaps
consistently the city refuses to give
the "West Side" good school
building and play ground though
almost the entire population has
again and again begged and pleaded
for it. When St. Paul wakes up, the
"West Side" will clean up.
