BRITISH COLLIERIE
MAKE HUGE PROFITS

LONDON. May II. Correspondence
Of the Associated Press. )-Testimony
concerning enormous profits made by
various British collieries was given at
the inquiry OF the coal mines commits
sion by Albert Emil Davies, general
manager of the banking corporation.
and a writer on finance and econQmics,
He stated that 1000 invested In 1908
in shares, then quoted at par, OF a GER
tain company would have earned
dividends equal to about G9,S00 and
would now be saleable at $500.
In the case of another company he
said that 'for the ten years ended In
1918 the divideds paid were equivalent
to about 243 per cent of the increased
capital, or over 800 per cent on the
actual capital
The witness said that in most cases
obscured by the capitalization Of re-
serves or other establishments of cap
ital,
"By these methods and by dividends
he testified, 'the most successful COM
panies are able to return to their
shareholders every few years the whole
Of the share capital originally sub
scribed by them.
Mr.. Davis said that IL the coal re-
serves of the country were pooled, the
enormous profits made and partially
concealed by the large companies would
be available to meet part, at least. OF
any additional working costs that might
be necessary, and that the incentive to
build up reserves for subsequent distri-
button, which obscured the enormous
profits actually being made, would dis
appear.

SOUTHERN RACE HARMONY
CAN Be CULTIVATED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nav l7-Har-
monious relations between whites
and negroes in the South can readily
be cultivated, is the conclusion of r.
II. Leavell, of Mississippi, one of the
Investigators on negro migration in
1851, the report on which mas lust
been issued through the office OF the
director OF negro economics, depart
ment of labor. Mr.. Leavell cites par
tcularly, among the experiences Of a
NUMBER or communities, the case Of
Adams county, of which Natchez, Miss,
IS the county seat. The harmony exist
ing there, he believes, is due to the
close contact Of the leaders Of tho two
races.
vt is significant that In the older
counties which line the eastern banks
OF the Mississippi from Tennessee to
the Louisiana line, where relations he
tween the races are fairly good, white
adult male nliteracy is by counties from
one-hah to one-fifth what it is In the
state as a whole; and that in two coun-
ties notorious for whitecapping and
expelling negroes white adult male IL
hteracy Is 30 per cent more than for
the state as a WHOLE" Mr., Leavcll
writes,
Relations are most cordial. he as
serts, where white illiteracy is lowest,
where communities have existed for
generations, and whites and blacks
have long been in contact; where the
soil Is fertile: where right OF trial in
court Is maintained for negroes, and
where negroes arc encouraged to ewn
property.
