dNdAlCC ohN = BAO "
tors, conspiring in defiance OF
law and regardless Of decency,
is responsible for this arbitrary
advance.
There are but two possible
excuses for raising the price of
coal at the mines. One is high
er wages to the miners the
other is on increase in the cost
of mining machinery and equip,
ment.
It is matter of court record
that the increase in miners
wages during the past three
years has totaled but thirteen
cents a ton.
The increase in the cost of
mine machinery and equipment
has been practically negligible.
In the face of these facts,
however, coal operators with a
unanimity that conclusively
shows prearrangement, have
advanced prices within one year
as much as $4 ton.
If there is "car shortage" as
the operators claim, the fact
ought to work for a lower price
at the mine, rather than higher,
as it would tend to promote a
surplus of coal.
If the law of demand and
supply" enters into the matter,
as some operators insist, why
did several members of the com
bine deliberately reduce their
production to 60 and 70 per cent?
The fact of the matter is that
So. 90 and So. so a ton for coal at
Ohio mines simply legalizes and
perpetuates robbery. Hundreds
of coal operators in America
have grown wealthy on a profit
of Is cents per ton; but the Fed
'eral Trade Commission, with the
endorsement of the Ohio Coal
Exchange, proposes to ratify a
profit in many cases exceeding
81 per ton.
Any coal operator who can be
persuaded to tell the truth will
admit that he can make large
profit on coal for which he re-
ceives 81 to $3.50 a ton at the
mine. Yet the people are ex-
pected to h satisfied with the
sop thrown them by the federal
and state price fixers, while pay
ing tribute of at least 81 per
ton to the rapacity Of the oper-
ators
If the coal consumers of Ohio
submit to this play in the inter
est of the coal pirates they de-
serve what they get. They will
pay for their submissiveness
not only in the dollar ra-ton ex-
cess for coal, but in higher
prices for everything into which
coal enters as a factor of pro
duction.
If they do not accept the i'm
position placidly, they should
demand that Ohio profit by the
example of Indiana, whose Gov
ernor is preparing to combat the
greed of the coal combine by
legislative action, and of Illinois
whose defense council has an
nounced it's refusal to swallow
the price proposed by the fed
eral trade commission.
1t will be a crime against the
public and an outrage against
justice if Ohio accepts S.. 80 and
$6 coal for the ultimate con-
sumer. One dollar off these
figures still leaves the operator
a profit greater than any other
industry will be permitted to

holding up of shipments because of
the threatened German submarine

to be that Germany has for a long

forces to prevent shipments reaching
her enemies and that there will not
be a much greater loss to trans

vided 1t shall be expended by Presi-
dent Wilson in any manner he deemed

tion of warships, submarines, de-
stroyers, and other naval vessels, and
in providing ammunition therefor.
The commander amendment first
stipulates>that the President may re-
quire any shipbuiIding or munitions
concern to work exclusively upon or
ders for war material given by the
United States Government. which or
ders shall supercede any private
work upon which the factory may be
engaged.
The President is empowered to take
full possession of any shipyard or
other plant, or part thereof. when

torily orders given by the Secretary
of the Navy at price fixed by the
Navy Department.
Further Authorization.

thorized:
