TYPICAL LETTER
FROM PATRONS.
Here Is a typical letter from a res
taurant patron to The Times and Mr.
WyckoTS answer:
Editor The Times-By what basis
did Stanley Wyckon, state fair price
commissioner. arrive at the conclu-
sion that coffee costs 65 cents per
cup7
'Did you have to wait, Mr. wyck-
OF, until the restaurateurs were
organized to 1nd this out, or is the
upkeep OF this organization main
tained out OF the increased psofts
on coffee alors7
Let us say that sixty cups Of
coffee per pound is the average OBJ.
tained by restaurants. and not over
with say one quart OF cream for
the sixty cups;
Sixty cups at cents. $500
Sixty cups at Z cents. s.......... 40
Now the actual cost is:
"One pound of the very best
coffee -......... .--...-..-... 80
"One quart OF cream ........- so
Two pounds Of sugar at 30
cents ....,...... .........,... 80
Total cost .....,..........s $3.50
should the profit be S.2O or
double?
Let Stanley wyckon quote his
figures. A READER"
'In the first place" said Mr wyckoT
when shown the letter. Il didn't srrtv,
at the conclusion that II costs SO cehts
to make a cup Of coffee.
THAT exact figure was submitted by
the restaurant men and ] do not know
the details by which they reached It.

OF RESTAURANTS
This thing should be considered in
figuring restaurants profit; Fol-
years restaurants have calculated their
income on the basis OF So return for
every 81 invested in raw material
1T has been proved that they need
that rate Of return. to defray their over
head expenses
I'm the last few years the restaurants
have not been doing much better than
81 for 60 cents worth OF raw material
"It isn't possible to take one item
from the bill Of fare and determine
whether a restaurant man Is profiteering
''In the summer time when tomatoes
are cheap the restaurant man may sell
them at the rate of 800 per cent profit
but one must consider that he sells hot
house tomatoes In the winter at the
same price and hence a much lower
rate OF profit.
Things must be evened up in that
way.
Coffee is one of the commodities on
which a restaurant has always figured

There has been considerable careless

sometime, especially in the matter Of
paying salaries Of employees working at
the various schools as is revealed In
records in the Office of Robert Il. BRy-

suit Of orders issued to Mr. Hit by the
board at the last regular meeting, ac-
cording to some school officials.
Last May a contract was made by the
school board for 70 000 tons OF coal with
a leewsy OF 1000 either way being grant
ed. the school city thus having author
ity to purchase either 5000 tons or %
COO tons.
The contract was made with the IN
dianapoHs Coal Company for $3.50 per
tor, the bid having been the second low
est submitted.
During the winter only $1,000 tons az
coal had been purchased.
Board members feared that the oppor-
tunity to get the remaining 1000 tons at
the contract price would be Lost
ORDERED TO BUY
REST OF COAL
In view of the increased price Of coal
now indicated. Mr.. Hit was directed 20
purchase the coal
II was charged by member Of the
board that on many occasions during
the last winter the schools were on tue
verge OF being caught short OF fuel on
account of a carelessness in buying coal
An interesting story concerning en-
ployes of the building and grounds ,ie-
partment was recently brought to tie
attention Of the board concerning re-
pairs ordered at School No -
Mr.. Hit ordered several buildings
wrecked at the school and it was said
that the workmen completed the Job on

up as a clubhouse.

that the converts are not confined
TO our ranks.
I'VE cannot hght the entire coun-
try, just as our cause is. The rail-
roads will undoubtedly be able 70
move freight more freely in the
next few days. Many of our men
have gone back because they faced
actual starSation, but each one of
these will be a missionary for our
cause.
Grievances Not Settled.
Don't think for a minute that our
grievances are settled or that the
railroads will be left to their own
devices. Regardless OF what they do
in Washington the barb of persecu-
tion has entered our hearts and in
time the Attorney General will dis
cover that he cannot with impunity
jail American citizens who have
broken no law"
The sentiments as expressed were
checked up among the individual
men and IL could easily be discerned
that an extremely bitter feeling, es-
pecially against the Department Of
Justice has developed. However,
there was not single threat OF vio-
lence heard and very little red
talk was INDUCED in. The men are
beginning to realize that they are
whipped. that their seniority is gone
and that the brotherhood officials
are against them
Their talk now concerns entirely
the future, the big union idea ana
a cleaning out OF old officials.
Despite the surface conversations
the feeling is strongly in the mass
that from now on radicalism offers
the only solution OF their problems.
IF the men should be driven to
ally themselves with radicals, the
recruiting can be laid at the door

OFFICIALS HERE DOUBT
FIUME PROBLEM SETTLED

Newspaper reports that the
Fiume problem has been settled
along the strict Wilsonian lines are
still without official confirmation
here. Both the Italian Ambassador
and the Serbian Minister said late
yesterday that they had received
70 official information bearing out
such stories. Nor have corrobora-
tive dispatches yet been received at
the State Department. 1t is said.
In fact. diplomatic circles are in
clined to doubt that Italy has
agreed to such a buffer state as
President Wilson favored. The
Presidential plan called for a buf-
fer state in which Fiume would be
girdled by a belt of Jugo-SIav ter
Iitory. The Italians have contend
ed that this would bring Italian
Pola under Jugo-Slav guns and
nullify the seaport's value.
To Offset this situation, Premier
Nitti was reported to have pro-
posed the italian corridor" be-
tween Fiume and Istria. It was
this corridor to which President
Wilson so strenuously objected and
which Nitti- has now allegedly dis
carded. Besides, both Italy and
Jugo-Slavia have also been op-

By w. ORION TEwsON.

London. April 25.-whatever may
be the final achievements of the San
Reno conference one solid and
hoped last piece of work is the
treaty which settles Turkeys fu-
ture. Before the ministers separate,
each will have a copy to take home
for the consideration of his respec-
tive government.
President Wilson is known to be
in possession of the details of the
arrangements made under the treaty
and I was told today that he is in
accord with their general tenor. 1t
is said that advice from Washing
ton has been az the service of the
conference on the Turkish treaty
attitude toward Germany through
out.
Following San Reno is to come a
series of summer conferences to be
devoted to more detailed work. The
subjects will be the future of Pales-
tine. Armenia and Mesopotamia, and
application of the treaties with Ger
many. Austria, Turkey and Bull
garia.
Behind the scenes, very slowly
and with a great deal of suspicion
on both sides, events are moving
towards a better understanding with
Russia. a delegate from the Rus
sian Soviet government has been
present at San Reno all week and l
am informed that come progress in
the negotiations has been made.

Italy obtains Britan's economic

a strangle hold on the Near East
Also diplomats wonder why she let
Greece come out of the conference
