The organized efforts Of the coal
miners were first brought into play
in 1898 and great good was accom-
plished by such men as John Mitchell,
but the fairness with which Mitchell
used his wonderful ability has been
discarded and the methods being en-
plOyed today by labor organizations
are so Foreign that such men as John
Mitchell we're they permitted 10 re
turn 10 this earth, would not be able
10 recognize the organization.
Up 10 September Z, 1913. there had
been produced 299,150.00Q tons Of
bituminous coal, as against 396,Q14,-

1918. This shows a shortage Of over
100, 100000 tons IN hituminous coal

went into effect has fallen off to 55
percent OF normal. The shortage due

ingly threatening. as most OF the
miners show slight disposition TO re-

a national holiday, but a nationaliza-

The shortage is more acute In the
states west Of the Mississippi river.
The railway administration has
promised TO ship the output OF West

such a promise can accomplish very
little unless the mixers return 10

NEVER BELOW PAR.

Even Wall Street pricked up its ears
when such a financial authority as
Francis Sisson, Vice President of the
Guaranty Trust Company, predicted
the Victory Liberty Note would never
go below par. Mr.. Sisson expressed
pity for those who have rid themselves
of their previous investments in Lib
erty Bonds. Uncle Sam, he said. was
ready to meet any obligations incurred
in this line, and any drop in Liberty
Bond values should be charged to mis-
fortune of the investor rather than
unsteady financiering by the United
States
Victory Liberty Notes will be so Sc
cure. according to Mr.. Sisson, that any
concented effort to put them on the
market will create demand and send
the values upward.
