Want To Know How
Much You We're Stung For
Coal? Here Are the Figures

Coal? Here Are the Figures
Maybe, reader. you are one OF those
humans who do not like TO be told about
1t when they have been stung.
There are SO many of the kind that
sometimes we wonder if that side Of hui
man nature is not really the thing the
food shark and the fuel shark and all the
rest Of the sharks capitalize.
AT any rate. We have 70 admit that we
countenance a whole lot Of things which
we ought not to cogntenance and lois
of times smile over it, manifestng that
we like it.
P.T. Barnum had us sized UP about
right.
The idea of these few lines today is
to tell you that YOU have been stung.
We care going to prove IT.
We are going to make you admit It,
and we are going to show you for how
much you were stung.
Then we are going to show you that
the chances are pretty fair for you 10 get
stung again, unless congress wakes up
in time to arrange for YOU squarer
deal than you have been getting
Here goes:
What did you pay last winter for coal,
and what did you pay this spring for coal
If you were one of those who were taken
in on the fake shortage story started
by the brokers for the benefit Of the,
brokers?
If you bought soft coal, you paid al
the way from SO to $40 ton for it.
Let's strike an average at IS.
We can be more thai'fair in this mat
ter and then prove TO you that you were
stung, good and beautifully.
You, weECetroit paid IS for ton Of
soft COAL
Here we introduce to you, Samuel IN

Insull.)

tense Council of Illinois and is also con-
nected with the Chicago & Alton rail
road. insults railroad paid Sl.19 ton
for coal in 1916.
The Chicago and Illinois Midland rail
road, with which insult is also connected, |
paid S1.21 ton.
The Peoples Power League of Illinois
has just received a committee report
that the price of Illinois coal at the
mines eighteen months ago-that is coal
that was burned last winter and figured
In the hold-up-was 81 ton.
Labor cost since then has increased
no more than 10 cents a ton, but the
price asked for Illinois coal at the mine
by the coal committee of the National
Defense Council is S275 a ton.
Here is what large consumers of coal
in Illinois paid during 1916:

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
ITALY, Dec. $50 many French and
British troops are now in Northern
Italy that the novelty Of their presence
has worn off, although the sight of the
regiments marching toward the front or
to their environments evokes the same
tremendous enthusiasm as when they
first arrived. The French are busy with
reorganization work, assisting the Ital-
ians to reform their forces and giving
them the benefit Of their technical SIKH
and experience.
General Diaz, Chief Of staff Of the
Italian armies, to-day reviewed two
noted battalions OF French troops which
have arrived to take up the hght against
the invading forces of the Central
Powers. The reviews took place close
behind the front, within hearing OF the
artillery battle, and were singularly I'M
pressive as the troops marched past the
Italian and French generals to the
tunes of the Royal Italian March and
the "Marseillaise."
General Diaz addressed the troops
briefly, congratulating the battalions on
their past exploits and concluding:
81 have known Of your bravery for a
long time, and am convinced that you
are going to furnish new proofs Of It,"
General Daz was accompanied on his
reviewing tour by General Fayolle,
commander of the French forces in
Italy; General Gendrecourt, chief of the
French mission with the Italian su-
preme command; General Duchesne,
commander of a French army, and By
tho diyi SioDal commander.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-The Austro-Ger-
mans are moving great masses OF
troops on the Asiago Plateau and be-
tween the Brenta and Piave rivers, the
official communications issued by ltal-
ian Army Headquarters to-day said.
These arrangements of forces, in the
opinion of military observers here, are
preliminary to some new attempted at
tack by Won Below at point on the
front not yet disclosed.
While no new infantry action was re-
ported to-day, unofficial advices from
the front emphasize the tierceness Of re-
cent fighting at Monte Pertica, between
the Brenta and Piave, and at Maletta,
west of the Brenta. Hill l,549, one Of
the peaks making up Pertica, changed
hands several times, finally remaining
with the Germans. Meletta. also the
scene of an ebbing and flowing strus-
gle, is still. held by Diaz's men.
To-day's Rome communlque says
there were very pronounced artillery
duels at Inasubio, IN the Meletta re-
gion, and on the slope north Of Monte
Grappa Massif.
Teuton troops in the Nos Valley anc
on the southern slopes O. Pertica were
cut up by Italian shells, while enemy

Relief Urged for Farmers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Representa-
tive Blanton, Of Texas, introduced a
bill to-day authorizing an approprla-
ton of $50,O00000 for relief OF farm
ers in the drouth section of the South

He said that in Texas alone. lou
counties. comprising an area half the
size of Germany, had been so affected
that it was impossible to raise cattle
there. "
The bill provides that S4O,O0O.0OO be
expended in Texas and 100000 each
in New Mexico and Colorado, princi-
pally for purchase of cattle feed.
