HOLD HIGHER COAL PRICE INEXCUSABLE Out of Relation to Increase In Production Cost, Says
 Coal Commission
sy AmeeIat.d Prsss

Washington, April 1O.--The United States bituminous coal commission, which settled the dispute between soft coal miners and operators, declared in . formal statement today that present prices of bituminous coal "were mex cusable and out of all relation to the increase in the cost of production caused by higher wages granted by the commission"
 Declaring that the present rise in prices could not be attributed to the campaign for early buying, the commits sion's statement said there were vari- ous causes for the Temporary upward trend" including widespread feeling that there might be q scarcity of coal for domestic use, due to foreign de- fnand.
 There seems also to be a misappre- hension in regard to production" the Statement added.

Not every one great man, truly, but all kept their armor bright and our good name shining, ana we cannot hope for such a list again. A long time ago, into the newspaper offices this item drifted: ''The last of the Confederate Acknowledgements died here today" Are there any major gen. erals left? The last name will soon be on every tongue. And soon after that the last of the Confederate brigadiers will go to join this silent brotherhood Didn't you. every one of you. feel a0 infinite sadness and tender sentiment in one feature of the news that Senator Bankhead was dead? Not merely that he had gone. That was due in the course of nature. But every account set down the solemn mad mournful fact, that he was the last Confederate soldier in the Senate of the United States. He went his way to the open portals. and left no comrade in those stately halls to weep his going.
 But need he be the last? From the very first there has seemed to me only one issue in this solemn duty which faces us all, this duty of sending a man to sit in the place of Bankhead and Johnston and Pugh and Pettus and Morgan. We can still attest our old faith. we can still honor our fathers and our mothers. we can still pay tribute to valor and capacity and that devotion to public service and duty which the Confederate soldier taught us and still teaches us. It seems to me these younger men would stand abashed and aside and help the rest of us send to the Senate the man who will be, in sad and unalterable truth, the last of the Con- federate soldiers to serve us in that great office.
 Frank S. White was a boy soldier, who rode through four years of bloody duty in the hard service of ForePt corps, and was still boy when the end was come There are years of good service in the old soldier yet. stand aside and let him enter

For the Good of
 the Community

n y WHILE the railroad men in Birmingham and W this district have not joined in the strike that just now IS tying up traffic in the north and west, live stock shippers in Alabama have felt the effect.
 The people do not realize the seriousness of railroad strike until it comes home to them. SuS- pension of transportation at any one of the in1- portant centers in the United States affects to greater or lesser degree every other community in the country.
 For the past two or three years farmers in PickenS, Tuscaloosa Greene and Sumter county have been shipping hogs to St. Louis. Most of these are made under the cooperative system, thatis, number of farmers assemble their hogs at the station on the same day and have them loaded into one car, thus obtaining the carload rate, instead of being compelled to pay the less than car lot rate. ..A During the past week several cars of hogs were started from points in Pickens and Tusca- loosa counties to the St. Louis market One car got as far as Memphis and there was turned back tothe shipper, who had to pay the freight charge to Memphis and back to his home.
 Two other cars started from lower Pickens county, but at Gordo, the junction of the Gulf. Mobile and Northern and the Mobile and Ohio railroads, they ran into an embargo, and back home they went. Freight charges, though small in this instance, had to be paid by the owners, and in addition they lost their time and the ex- pense of driving the hogs to town and loading them onto the cars and then unloading them again.
 Multiply the experience of these three shipments by the number Of cars of hogs that started towards packing houses every day and then add the cattle grain and other food products and h necessities of life and the result will give idea of what te- up o the transportation systems to the people whole
 How long would the supplies of groceries and fresh meals and vegetables carried in stock in Birmingham replenised? 1t IS stated that in city the country do the merchants and storage operators have on hand at time food supplies fcent to meet the demands for than days soma cities the supplies much less than that that be true hep of the railways for ten days would mean sa- ton to the people.
 The lesson has already been brought home the farmers of Alabama Ask those Pckens and Tuscaloosa county men their opinion of such condition They have had experience and they paid for it

survey show that in the first quarter of the present year our production was decidedly in excess of the production last year, and slightly in excess of the production under high pressure in 1918. There is, therefore, no reason, based on the past few months, for the sky rocketing of prices.
 "The fear ofN immediate suffering from car shortage seems also to figure In the reasons for the furry. There were sufficient cars and motive power to distribute this unusual production of the past few months, on account of careful and energetic car distribution. These cars and motive power are prac- tieally all available, and while there is definite need for moro of both in order to stabilize the industry, there is no immediate serious threatening of a car shortage such as has not existed during the winter, unless it Is neces- sary. because of emergencies, to di- vert coal cars for other purposes. The more open weather conditions and the efforts to improve allocation of cars by the car service commission of the American Railway Association, give promise of a greatly improved car sit- uation in the near future.
 "Frenzied bidding up of prices on the part of coal buyers seems, there- fore, at this time to be entirely unjus- tified. There is no reason to believe that there will be limited supply of coal for the domestic market or that there will be an increased shortage of cars in the near future, save as it is a part of the general transportation dif- faculties of the presenttime Efforts are being made to stabilize prices through regulations of the interstate commerce commission and by special Legislation. The educational campaign for early buying and storage will also tend to stabilize the market"
