SHERMAN TALKS
Of SETTLEMENT
Of Jap CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, D. c., July IL
In an address delivered before the
senate this morning, Senator Sher-
man, of Illinois, who is one of the
numerous Republicans opposing the
League of Nations covenant, de-
clared that the Shan-Tung settle
ment crowned the League of Ma
tons covenant as the superlative
treachery of modern history.
The gift of the Shan-Tung PENN
sula, he said, would materially aid
Japan to prepare for the time when
that nation might try for world
empire.
The settlement provided for in
the treaty, he said further, would
endanger the future safety of the
Philippines.

SENATOR JONES
TELLS SEATTLE
WHAT He WANTS

SEATTLE, July lin a discus
sion of the proposed League of Ma
tons, Senator Wesley L Jones in
formed the people of Seattle today
that, in his opinion, the compact is
wonderfully made. He said that he
did not fear the dangers which many
fancied they saw in the league ;
neither did he expect all the good
to come of it that others of his col
leagues predicted.
He believes, he said, that the
President should state definitely the
position of the Monroe Doctrine in
relation to the league. He also be-
lieves that any nation should have
the right, after two years, to with
draw from the league without re-
striction.
In conclusion, he offered the sug-
gestion that the American repre-
sentatives in the leagues council
should be chosen by popular vote.

Norton Automobile Thieves Found

ter Wild Ride From Wise.

Carter Meade, and another young
man giving his name as George II.
Burns, woke up in Tazewell County
jail here Wednesday morning with
their dreams of safety in the West
Virginia coalficlds shattered.
Meade and Burns stole Il seven
passenger Chalmers automobile, be-
longing to Fuller Brothers from the
Gillcy garage at Norton Tuesday
night, and filed the car full of dry
goods and clothing from the large
store of Fuller Brothers in the same
town, gaining entrance to the store
by forcing II window, and made their
way as far as Maiden Spring, when
they were ovcrtaken by Mr.. Gillcy,
of the Gillcy Motor Co, who had
trailed them through Wise and Rus
sell. The two boys were found asleep
in the Chalmers in field near the
mill at Maiden Spring. They had
travelled hard and took refuge in a
valley and climbed up in the car and
were donncd in new clothes, shoes.
caps and shirts from Fuller Broth
ers, and had left their old clothes in
the car. They were brought to town
by Mr.. Gillcy and put up for the
night in the Tazewcll Jail and start
ed early Wednesday morning for the
journey back to Wise. Much of the
plumber had been sold enroutc, the
exact number of articles being emu
mcrated by Meade, and were rccov-
cred on the return trip.
From general appearances the ven
turc did not appear novel to Meade,
but Burns was at n loss what to say
or how to act when he was ushcrcd
into the cells of the Jail. He claimed
he was an Englishman and was en-
titled to a trial in an English court,
which =" doubt he will get in Wise
county Both young men are strong
road workers. Burns claimed that he
served with the Canadian forces in

Mine OWNERS
Instead of 2OO03l Profit Many
of Them Are Not Making Le-
al Interest on Investment.
Coal Authority Speaks.

Recent newspaper reports contain
ed interviews with Hon. VIM. G.
McAdoo, EN-Secretary of the Trca-
sury, and honl Carter Glass, Secrc.
tary OF the Treasury, who was re-
Gently appointed United States Sena-
tor in place of Senator Martin De-
ceased. In. these interviews MIR. Me
Adoo stated that the coal operators
of the country had made as high rs
2,O00 per cent profit on their bust
ness. Mr.. Glass was more conscrva-
tive III his statement and placed the
percentage of profit much lower.
Naturally such statements caused
no little amusement to the coal opera
tors of Southwest Virginia, and those
we are familiar with the coal min
ing business in this section are un-
able to imagine how the distinguished
gentleman arrived at any such fig
ures. AS a matter of fact, many OF
the coal operators of the Suthwcst
are not making even a reasonable
profit on their Investment, and right
at this hour some of the leading
operators are running their mines
for the love of their country"
In recent issue of the Black Dia-
mond, coal journal published in
Chicago, the following appeared:
II note with great deal of in
terest the statement accredited to
Mr.. McAdoo regarding the alleged
profit of 1000 per cent made by
operating companies in the bitumi-
nous coal district. While we have
never owned or operated Il bituminous
coal mine, we are, however, very
familiar with the management of
such mines, especially from the iinan-
cial end. We have on several occa-
sions been invited to purchase mines,
or part intercs in them, but after
making thorough investigation, we
never could see where there was ten
per cent profit in them.
at might be interesting for you to
know that the average sized bitumi-
nous mine would produce Il maximum
of 100000 tons per year. From the
most conservative estimate, it would
have taken $150,000 capital to open
such Il mine, say four of five years
ago. Today it would require even
more than that. On this basis you
can see that 1000 per cent profit
would mean a net earning of $3,000,-
600 per annum or profit of $50 n
ton on every ton of coal mined. AS
the average selling price of bitumi-
nous coal according to the figures of
the United States Geological Survey,
was about $3.50 ton, you can see
how impossible Mr. McAdoo's figures
are. 1t is hard for us to understand
how man in Mr.. McAdoo's position
could make such staement"
The above statement is from the
secretary treasurer of the American
Wholesale Coal Association.
