MINES ORDERED RE-

Bismarck, N. Dak.-District Court
Judge Nuessle has ordered state mil
itary officials to return to their own
ers mines in this state that were seiz-
ed under instructions of Gov. Frazier,
in an attempt to secure coal for NORTH
Dakota citizens.
at seems to me that it amounts on
one hand to confscation and on the
other hand to involuntary servitude, :"
said the Judge in reviewing the seizure
of the mines.
The court indicated fear that the
executive would ignore this order,
thereby plunging the state into civil
war, because the court would appoint
deputies to enforce his order. Civil
war, declared the court, is preferable
to despotism.
Later the state supreme court up
held Judge Nuessle's order and denied
an injunction restraining that court
from enforcing his order.

similar injunction at Fargo

HUGE COAL PROFITS
Exposed by Former u. S.
Treasurer McAdOO

New York. Shocking and indefep
sible" profits, ranging as high as
1000 per cent, were made by coal
owners in 1917, declared former Sec
retary Of the Treasury McAdoo in q
telegram to Fuel Administrator Gar
field, who is urged not to permit the
coal owners to shift wage increases to
the public
In referring to the shocking and
indefensible" profits of the coal own
ers, the ex-cabinet official said:
II know this because, as secretary
of the treasury, / examined in May,
1918, their income returns to the
treasury. Before deduction of excess
profits taxes-which were less in 1917
than now. These returns showed
earnings on capital stock ranging
from Is per cent to 1000 per cent.
Earnings of 100 to 800 per cent on
capital stock were not uncommon.

in response to q senate resolution on
profiteering in 1918 some striking
facts were given as to the earnings Of

what the profits of the bituminous
coal operators were in 1918, since /
left the treasury in December These
reports wer no. filed until Marchs
1919. But if they disclose any such
profits as earned by the bituminous
coal operators in 1917, it would be A
grave wrong to permit the operators
to take from the public additional pro-
fits in the form of increased prices
for bituminous coal
Moreover, if profits were even
measurably as great in 1913 as in
1917, the operators can we'll afford to
pay the increased wages to the miners
and still have perhaps larger return
upon the capital employed in the
mines than they are justly entitled to.
81 earnestly urge also that these
income tax returns be published.
They ought to be published so that
the American people can know what
the true facts sre about the earnings
of the bituminous coal operators.
They are entitled to this information
and there is no reason why it should
be withheld, Stree the law permits it
in certiin circumstances.
"It can be taken for granted that
the income tax returns of these COM
panies are mole likely to understate
them than to overstate net earning
