LOSES JOB FOR
DISL9YAL REMARK
NACHINIST AT THE SEABOARD
SHOPS EXPELLED FROM THE
UNION-HE HAS SINCE EXPRESS
ED AN APOLOGY.

An incident that has caused much
comment was the action this week of
the Machinists Union at the Seaboard
shops in expelling and blacklisting one
of its members because of his recent
unpatriotic utterances.
When w. w. Dykes, chairman of the
Red Cross drive, solicited subscrip-
tions among the employees at the
shops. he approached this man, and
in the course of the latter's talk this
statement was made: "To hell with
McAdoo-Id rather work for the
Kaiser"
Subsequently, after the Incident had
created much feeling, the man who is
we'll known in Americas, declared that
at the time he was under the infiu-
ence of liquor and did not know what
he was doing. He made an apology to
MIR. Dykes and also went 20 see Capt.
Lester Williams. head of the Minute
Men of the Patriotic Order of Sons of
America and expressed regret to him.
However, the Machinists' Union decid-
ed it was best to drop him from mem
bership.

In such an acceptable manner that
hope under the circumstances you will
reconsider and withdraw your resigna-

impose on a good friend who has per-

keen sense of personal loss that you
should withdraw fron, the work OF

The price of milk in Americus is
also going up.

This is the result of the new sys-
tenn that will be in effect here, brought
about by the governments order re-
quiring the Pasteurization of all milk
sold in the city.
Eugene Cato has installed a Pasteur-
ization plant at the former Chamber

lrilk to the Macon market The dairy
men claim that even at IS cents a
gallon, and relieved of considerable
overhead expense, they will not be
making much profit

cation in detail of the actual cost of
production, Pasteurization, and distri

CULM AS GOOD COAL"
Representative Reese Reports
on His Investigation of the
Anthracite Industry

. POTTSNlLLE, Pa, Jan. l9.-Repre-
sentative Frank G. Reese has made pub
lie his investigation Of the anthracite
industry, which has occupied several
weeks. with the assistance of corps
OF clerks. Reese asserts that big coal
companies are selling refuse coal from
the culm banks to the public at full
price, although. he says, this fuel rarely
costs more than twenty five cents a toE
TO place on board cars and with a
charge of $l70 for hauling should be
sold in Philadelphia and New York at
cost not greatly exceeding So.
lie quotes Alfred Il. Garner. former
Congressman, as his authority that the
coal from the Bancroft washery at Ash
land is being produced at cost OF about
thirteen cents a ton. This washery is
typical of hundreds Of others, he says
Mr. Reese asks:
rs it fair that this product. costing
less than twenty cents a ton, should be
placed on the market at the present hlgn
rates? Is this not matter which should
be investigated by our Federal fuel ad-
ministrators, taking into consideration
that this is a refuse product containing
large quantities Of slate and dirr?"
While producers are demanding the
highest price in all history for coal,
Reese asserts, in the Schuylkil regiotL
wherein lies the great bulk of unmned
anthracite, coal lands worth untold mil-
lions are taxed at only a nominal valua-
ton. As the result of his Investigations,
Reese says, he finds that the coal dis.
tricts in Schuyllllll which are the rich
est In deposits place such a small tax
on com lands that many of the districts
are verging on bankruptcy, while edu-
catiOnal facilities for children are lack

closing as a result Of Fuel Administrator
Garficld's Monday holiday decree. The
double blow, against which officials who
formulated Atlantic City's liberal sun
day policy are poworlcss TO intervene
has not yet been delivered. 1t is ex-
pccted today, however, as a sequel
to a conference here between State Fuel
Administrator Jenknson and Walter j..
Buzby- hotclman, administrator Tor
Atlantic and Cape May Counties.
Members Of the City Ministerial Union
asked for light upon the Sunday amuse-
mcnt question after they had met ana
voted "cheerfully to comply with the
letter and the spirit Of the Garfield
ulase. 1t was decided to suspend for the
time being a union revival campaign OF
the Protestant churches and to consoh-
date services on sunday in a fourth or
less Of the city's places Of worship.
Administrator Buzby said lie had been
unable TO get a ruling on the question
of Sunday amusemcnts but that the
matter would be settled in conference.
"'rhc Government evidently assumes
that amuscments here as well as else
where are closed on sundays or the

Monday would not have said the same
