we have been told over and
over again, especially by publ
clty' hSseHpts Of the steel trust,
that prices had to be high be-
cause of the unreasonableness of
labor If the workers won their
demands, in the steel strike or
the coal strike the poor consum-
ers, we were told, would have
to sta md an increased price.
From the United States Steel
corporations figures on mining
costs on the Mesabe range.
where it got nearly all the ore
it shipped from Minnesota. we
find that the ore which it sold
to itself at lowe1: lake ports for
$3.50 a ton cost only 35.2 cents
Tor direct operating labor. La
Dor costs for repairs amounted
to IL cents. The total cost for
new shafts was 1 mill a ton. and
for stripping off the surface
earth at the open pit mines 1922
cents. Probably about half the
latter cost was for labor, or Ill
cents. The total labor cost at
the mines, therefore, was not
more than 4S.1 cents. The to-
tai of all costs for ore ready to
ship from mines was S3.:5 cents.
The net profit on the ore by the
corporations own figures was
S2.157 a ton, after allowing for
taxes of 1913 cents a ton, trans
p<rtation and overhead expense
not included in the above figure
The profit per ton Was thus
nearly four and onc-lra!f times

England's coalition govern
n1ent has at last won two or
three by-elections, and the Lloyd
George followers there, as well
rs our conservatives here, may
make much of it as showing q
tuning of the tide away from,
the labor party, which hith>r-
to has been winning most of
sucA contests. Hence a little
explanation is in order.
The vacancies were CAUSED bv
appointments Of members OF
parliament to higher Office, and
the Lloyd George cabinet nat
uis>]ly took men for this nur-
pose from districts in which #
1eIt strongest. l: would cer-
talnly be Oh reflection on the
Labor party that of over 600
districts that the coalition GOV
e!'ment should be sure of =
few. Against the division of the
opposing vote between a Labor
party candidate and a Liberal
candidate has worked to the adj
vantage OF the Conservative. In
all cases the Conservatives have
llmped home with small and
greatly reduced majorities.
The Liberal party chiefs in
England appear to be following
the tactics always followed bv
mere reformers. The program
is too weak for the mass of the
people; they haze no hope OF sue
cess themselves. So they serve
privilege by dividing the vote
against it, and privilege makes
it worth their while to do so.

MILITARY AND NAVAL
TERMS OFTEN PUZZLE

Definitions of military and naval
terms, grouped together under a
single heading. Is one OF the special
features of The New Universities
Dictionary now being offered to
readers of The Washington Herald,
contributing to the splendid success
attending the distribution of the
book. Nearly everybody has been
reading about the war, and not in
frequently the reports contain some
word or expression with which the
average reader is unfamiliar.
The meaning of such terms can
readily be had by turning to The
New Universities Dictionary as well
as that of many expressions which
have come into more common usage
since the Continent of Europe be-
came one vast battle ground and the
high seas turned into a danger
zone" by the naval operations OF
the contending powers.
In all there are twenty-five of
these supplementary dictionaries
containing the definition of hundreds
OF words brought into general and
proper use not only by the war. but
by the forward steps o. in science,
business, society. religion and the
increasing popularity of sports of
all kinds, which can be found in no
dictionary other than the one this
paper is distributing among its
readers at nominal cost.
Coupons are being redeemed in
large quantities, so enthusiastically
has the offer been received, and it is
evident that The New Universities
dictionary is finding its way into
the business office as well as the
home.

writ of certiorari in an effort to
test the right of the city of Rich
