Advises u. S. Labor to
Keep Out of Politics as
Party; Calls 1t Rotten

London, Aug. 15.-"Rotten," was
the comment of Havelock Wilson,
president of the International Sea-
mems Union, on the forthcoming
trip of Arthur Henderson. the labor
leader, to America with a view to
helping in Ghe establishment Of a
labor party in the United States.
IF American labor is mlaled nd
forms a political party" saId Will
son, they will doubtless find that
like the British trades unIonists.
they have injured their OWL cause
and thereby become tools of self
seeking politicians.
The British trade unionists
found that their moneys often were
devoted to purposes with which the
does not sympathlze.
Knowing what do, 1 think the best
advice TO the American workmen is
TO stay out OF politics as a labor
PARTY, which would simply divide
the American trade unionists."
Arthur Henderson, when asked
how large an element of American
labor invited him and who was f.
nancing his trip, refused to answer.

Scientific Discussions
BY Garrett p. Serviss

When we see a mighty warship,
or a huge Atlantic liner, moving
majestically through the water at
a speed of many miles an hour,
throwing aside great waves from it's
bow, and piercing like a projectile
through vast ocean billows, we get
the impression of a practical solid
body driven onward with resistless
force, and itself capable of with
standing a. greater shock than it
would infiict upon an obstacle in it's
path.
But this impression is instantly
dissipated when such a vessel en-
countered. say an iceberg, as hap
pened seven years ago to the ILL
fated Titanic, and, again, to the
steamer Grampian. In one case
the side, in the other the bow, of
the ship was caved in like an egg
shell, and in both cases hundreds
of the people on board were so
little disturbed by the shock that
they were afterward astonished to
learn of the disaster that had
really happened.
Members of the crew were
crushed to death in the wreck of
the forward part of the Grampian,
where the stem of the ship was
driven back into the hull nearly
forty feet, and yet the occupants
of the smoking room felt the blow
so slightly that they were not
stirred from their seats. On the
Titanic people unconscious of dan
ger played cards after the great
vessel had received its death-blow

FAIR VALUATION
ONLY RATE BASIS
AINEY DECLARES
Public Service Commissioner,
Before Electric Body, Says
Public Doubts Companies
By Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. Is. Street

their arguments for increased fares
to meet advanced costs of operation
must convince the public as we'll as
the regulatory commission. the Fed
eral Electric Railways Commission
was told to-day by Chairman Will
liam y. r. Ainey, of the Pennsyl-
vania Public Service Commission. 1t
was not sufficient, he said, that q
showing should be made of the ris-
ing costs of operation alone.
State and municipal authorities
might heed that showing and order
increased fares in vain, the witness
testified, if the people exercised their
veto power" of denying patronage
to the lines at Increased rates.
Chairman Ainey insisted that the
companies should "set their houses
in order" and come before the pub

public fears that there is much
over capitalization and much poor
management involved in the difficult
ties of the companies, he added and
until the people have received as
surances that these situations have
been cleared up, it is not to be ex-
pected that they will look favorably
upon increased fares.
Fair valuation of the properties,
Mr.. Ainey said, is the only sound
basis for rate-making and he ex-
pressed confidence that the people
were fair-minded enough to pay
rates on that basis no matter what
they might be.

LOWER PRICES
TO COME THROUGH
NATURAL LAWS
Senator Reed Declares In
crease in Production
Greatest Factor

Washington, August Is. High
cost of living is the result of oper-
ations OF fundamental and immutable
laws, and lower living costs will ccma
TO a large degree, only from operation
of these natural laws. Senator Read,
Democrat, of Missouri, declared in an
address in the Senate to-day.
Many of the remedies, being pro-
posed to reduce living costs, Senator
Reed asserted are futile because they
are artificial and designed TO disturb
operation of natural economis tenden-
cies. Increase in production the Mis-
souri, Senator declared, would be the
greatest factor toward reducing
prices.
"There are two great principles in
economics and finance which cannot
be disregarded. and which no amount
of legislation can effectively control"
said Mr.. Reed. First, whenever the
demand for any great necessity ma
terially exceeds the supply. an in
crease in price is inevitable. Con-
Versely. when the supply exceeds
the demand, decrease in price fol-
lows. The latter condition may be
temporarily effected by combinations
artifcially Withholding the supply
and controlling the market. But, no
com DlnatlOn or men and no decree of
government have ever been able to
transmute a deficiency into plenty,
or to remove the natural longings for
necessary article which cannot be
obtained.
Second, a radical increase in the
number of dollars in circulation w.
suits in a decrease in the purchasing
power of the dollar.
ANY advice, plan or scheme, there
fore, which will have a tendency to
lessen production, to discourage en-
terprise or to arrest industry, will,
instead of bringing lower prices, in
crease present excessive prices by un-
der-production."
The war, Senator Reed said, stop
ped production throughout the world
to a large extent, except for articles
needed in its prosecution. With the
end of the war, the natural result is
increased demand before production
can be brought up to normal.
"All this is elementary and obvious,
but in crisis like that which now
confronts us, even the wisdom of
statesmen is likely to overlook the
obvious" Mr. Reed observed. "The
raise in prices in the United States
has been made to all of the people of
the United States ali of them being
consumers. Likewise the benefits of
tributed to nearly all of the people Of
the United States for nearly all of
them are producers"

mo FAMINE IN
COAL PREDICTION
OF OPERATORS
Domestic Supply Ahead of
1916, Anthracite Bu-
reau Says

Philadelphia, August 15.-That all
talk of an existing coal shortage or
the predictions of one to come are out
OF place at this time, is shown by
hgures issued to-day by the Anthra-
cite Bureau of information. the of
fcial mouthpiece of the anthracite
operators in Pennsylvania. Only a
shortage of freight cars or a tie-up
of the railroads due to a hard winter
Will make 1t impossible to secure
coal. So far as the supply is con-
cerned, figures for the first four
months of the current year, snow
there will be plenty of it,
The statement as issued by the AN
thacite Bureau is as follows:
Production Beats 1915
production of the three most want
ed domestic sizes of anthracite, which
are nut, stove and egg, has been
kept so satisfactorily during the first
four months of the current coal year
beginning April 1, that the markets
have received more than 10 per cent.
In excess of the total for the corres-
ponding period in 1916, which was
the last normal year in the American
coal business, and which was taken
by the United States Fuel Admins
tration as the basic year upon which
all anthracite allotments were deter
mined.
For the first four months of this
coal year ended July 81, the total
shipments of the three sizes mem
toned have been in excess of 13.400. =
600 tons, while in the corresponding
period of 1916 the total shipments
were but slightly over 1850, 900 tons,
leaving a difference of nearly 1000. :
600 tons in favor of this year to date.
Under continuance of existing con-
ditions there is no reason to believe
that the anthracite industry will not
maintain good production record
during the late summer and fall.
All Sizes Increased
THE increased tonnage noted above
has not been confined to any one size.
OF the total increase as compared
with 1916, nut coal has more than
100000 tons to its credit, egg coal
shows about 100000 tons gain. and
stove coal more than 25O,OOO tons
I'm view of these facts, talk of an
existing coal shortage or predictions
of one to come are out of place at
this time, so far as domestic sizes
of anthracite are concerned. Indeed.
so far as one ordinarily very poou-
lar size. pea coal, is concerned, there
is surplus available. In their eag-
erness to stock up with egg, stove
or nut, some parts of the market
have been overlooking pea coal, which
is first class domestic fuel, not only
in kitchen ranges, but in furnaces.
Almost any furnace burning the l.rg-
er sizes can be banked at night with
pea coal, and in the milder days of
winter it is frequently feasible and
profitable to fire exclusively with pei

NEXT CAMPAIGN
Both Republican and Demo-
cratic Parties Will Operate

New York, August 15.-Phono-
graphs will be used by both the
Republican and Democratic parties
in the approaching presidential cam
paign, it is announced, the plan en-
bracing a program which will per-
nit the residents of small towns and
remote hamlets to hear the speeches
of eminent orators at the same time
that the records are released in the
large cities.
The Photographic campaign will
be opened on September l, when re-
cords containing utterances by At
torney General Palmer, speaking for
the Democrats, and others register
ing the speech of United States Sem
ator Lodge, voicing the sentiments
of the Republicans, will be released.
These speeches will be reproduced
at clubs, societies headquarters,
churches, MONDAY meetings and in
the homes of the party workers.
Following the release of the
speeches of Attorney General Pal
mer and Senator Lodge, other re-
cords will be distributed monthly
and it is expected that the meeting
places and homes throughout the
country will fairly echo and re-echo
with the words of the orators as
conveyed by means of talking ma
chimes. The extent of the part which
monographs may play in the cam
paign can be estimated by the state
ment that two manufacturers of the
machines are known to have more
than 100000 monographs in use
in the United States.
Among the speakers scheduled for
photograph oratory by the Demo-
cratic National Committee are Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary of War Bak-
er, Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
former Secretary of the Treasury

Rn Aasocinted Press.

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.- Attorney
General Palmer after a conference
here to-day with United States Dis
trict Attorney Kane issued a state
ment promising vigorous prosecu-
tions of all food profiteers, large or
small.
LAS a result of the action con-
sidered to-day" said Mr.. Palmer,
the price of food in Philadelphia

within a short time"
The Lever bill will be made ap-
plicable to the smallest retailer by
Congress within a week. A severe
penalty will be attached to the bill.
which will make it dangerous busi-
ness for the small dealer to charge
unreasonable prices.
Wants Results
Before the conference Mr.. Palmer
said it had come to his attention
that immense quantities of food
stuffs are being held in storage in
Philadelphia and nearby cities. This,
he explained, is one of the reasons
for his visit.
Every State in the union Is CO.
operating with Washington in the
high cost of living probe" said Mr..
Palmer. This is a vital question
and l want to know what has been
done in Philadelphia. We want to
get results here the same as we
have gotten from dozens of other
States and cities. 1t will not be diff
ticult to bring about the release of

one guilty of violations of the law.
The various States will have to
take up the rent profiteering ques-
ton. We are regulating the evil in
Washington and we hope to estab-
lish just system shortly which all
the States can use as a model. Cases
have come to my attention where
the rentals have jumped $50 per
cent. over night, even though the
cost of maintaining the property
had not increased. Conditions are

FOR the physicist, calculating the
forces at play in such an accident,
there is something of the pleasure
of the sportsman noting the effects
of his shot without considering the
suffering or death inflicted. But any
one may derive advantage from a
study of the laws that govern these
blind and, on occasion, calamitous
forces.
From an understanding of their
workings one may be able to
choose the way to safety. Take the
ordinary case of a collision of ve-
hicles where the most common i'm
pulse is to pump out, although to
follow the bidding of this impulse
may be the strongest invitation to
serious injury or death.
Every moving body possesses a
certain amount of kinetic energy
and If the body is arrested this
energy must be disposed of some
how. If the motion is slowly and
gradually arrested the energy will
be dissipated without producing
any violent effects, but if the stop
page of the motion is sudden. or
instantaneous, disaster may be the
result.
In other words, the kinetic en-
ergy of moving body may either
do certain amount of quiet, USE
full work, or it may cause a smash,
according to the manner in which
it is expended.
The man who jumps from a run
away car carries with him the
kinetic energy which the motion
on the car has impaired to him,
and when he strikes the earth his
body must endure all the stresses
put upon it in the sudden dissipa-
ton of the arrested enegry. But
if he remains in the car part
only of the latter may be smashed
by series of shocks, which will
furnish all the work" needed to
take up the released energy, while
the passenger escapes with little
or no injury.
The facts concerning kinetic en-
ergy look more formidable when
put into figures. Thus, man
weighing 200 pounds, moving at n
speed of 60 feet per second (40 miles
an hour), has stored up in his body
an amount OIL RlneuC energy equal
to 1880 foot-pounds, and if the
motion is arrested in one second he
will have to dispose, as best he can,
of the 20h untamable horsepower
that he carries.
Going back to the steamer
Grampian running against an ice
berg and having her whole for
ward part smashed and her stem
driven forty feet backward, while
passengers in the center of the
ship were hardly disturbed at all,
we see that the safety of the latter
arose from the fact that the kline
tic energy of the blow was used
up in the destruction wrought
near the bow, the fore frame of
the ship yielding, and thus serv-
ing as cushion to take up the
shock.
But if the ship had been as rigid
as such a vessel looks to the eye,
the force of the blow would have
sent everybody tumbling, from
stem to stern. James Verne had
the right principle in mind when
in his Voyage to the Moon," hav-
ing to contrive a way by which
the passengers in the projectile to
be shot from the 900-foot gun
could escape injury from the tre-
mendous shock, he imagined a
series of cushioned partitions in the
projectile to use up the energy, lit
tie by little.
