SAYS PROFITS
OF COAL DEALERS IN
1917 SHOCKING

New York, Nov. 25.-William G.

sion to coal miners of the wage in

1917 man. mine owners made shock

inous coal" He asserted the operators
contention that further wage increas-
es would necessitate. higher prices to

operators be not permitted to impose
an additional charge on the public

made of their income tax returns fill
ed with the treasury department for
1917 and 1915" McAdoo wired.
Earnings of 100 to 900 percent
were not uncommon" he said. "Of
course I do not know what the prof
it's of the operators we're in 1918, since
l left the treasury in December. 1918,
and these reports were no filed until
March, 1919, but if they disclose n
such profits as earned by the oper-
ators in 1917 it would be a grave
wrong to permit them to take from
the public additional profits in the
form of increased prices.
Moreover, If profits were even
measureably as great in 1918 as in
1917 the operators can well afford to
pay the increased wages to the miners
and still have a larger return upon
the capital employed in the mines
than they are justly entitled to.
II earnestly urge that these income
tax returns be published. The Ameri-
a people are entitled to this infor-
nation and there is no reason why 1t
should be withheld, since the law per-
mits it in certain circumstances"

a signed confession late Monday of his
part in the robbery of the claremont

The outstanding feature of the con-

newspapermen.

other negro fighter because he thinks

USE TIN TO WEIGHT SILK
Manufacturers Have to Employ Mate
rial Which Would Seem Hardly
Suitable for Human Apparel.

We have adopted many foreign ideas
Of comfort or utility, but no one has
sought to Introduce the wooden shoe
from Holland. The tin stocking is
even less suggestive Of luxury, and
yet many Of us wear them. OF course
a person could not wear q sock of
"eighteen-carat" tin and be uncon-
scious Of 1t, but If the tin Is alleged
and disguised with silk he can wear
q considerable amount of it without
suspecting 1t.
In cutting round tops and bottoms
out of tin sheets In the manufacture
of tin cans there remains certain
amount of scrap. Men have sat up
nights figuring the maximum number
of such pieces Of various sizes that
can be cut from . sneet of the tin,
and still there Is the waste left over
that cannot be worked into sheets
again. Relief Is foun5 In the demand
of the manufacturer of silk, who needs
some substance to weight his goods.
A silk garment hangs and fits and
holds Its shape better If weighted.

are the unweighted pongee silks. So
the manufacturers OF tin cans and of
silks cooperate. One disposes of his
tin waste. and the other converts the
metal into tin chloride and works 1t
into the woven silk. Virtually all the
waste Of tin can factories is put to
that use. Some silk stockings contain
as much as 80 per cent of tin. The
use is entirely legitimate, since the
trade demands silk that is firm and
heavy for certain garments for which
the purchaser desires a perfect fit.
SILK waste, such as worn-out and
cast-off garments, becomes in turn
source of tin worth attention. Rag
pickers give little heed to silk rem
nants, but carefully collect linen and
wool. .fhe rag-pickers' union, If there
is such body, might well take notice
of this information. The tin chlor-
ide in the silk is easily converted into
tin o~ide by burning the material, and
from the oxide the metal can be re-
solved.-Youth's Companion.
