Anthracite Committee Gets

operators Who Handle the
Emergency Supply Make
More Than Distributors

cor,nlaints have been made to the
..;.t committee on coal that the an
..srac;te relief committee is selling coal
~ a Greater profit than the retail deal
~ ~, IN New York City and that this ex-
.ass;ye price is being paid by the poor
~ consumers. The joint committee,
srsanized few weeks ago by the real
sssste interests, published a report yes
.ordav which said that S14 was fair
pr;ce for coal.
THE suecisl relief committee that was
.rnointed by the Anthracite Operators
sssociation of Philadelphia to dis
tribute the emergency supply Of coal
has been selling fuel at it's stations in
.h;s city for rs cents hundred pounds
rhich is at the rate OF SIS ton. The
.osl is shipped direct from the. mines
md no wholesalers commissions have
TO be paid.
The consumers must cart the coal
swav at their own expense. the only
extra charge the distributors must
meet being that of weighing and filling
,be 100 pound bags in which it is sold.
Michael +. Burns, president Of Burns
Brothers, the largest retail coal dealers
In the city, appeared before the Fed
.ral grand jury on Friday with the
hooks and accounts Of the firm. At
that time he issued a list Of the re-
tail prices charged by Burns Brothers
since June /. The highest price
charged for stove size anthracite was
1875 ton, every other size being
somewhat cheaper. This size included
delivery to the sidewalk. There is an
additional charge of 60 cents ton
where coal has to be carried to the
back of house in skips, but even in
that case the highest price was only
sl4.35 for the best grade of anthracite
The anthracite relief committee
planned at first to charge so cents fol
iOO-pound bags But when Dalton. 8
Brooklyn retailer, offered his output tc
District Attorney Harry f. Lewis at 75
cents a hundredweigh the committee
fixed that as the price.
No figures are available to indicate
the exact margin of profit made by the
organization of anthracite operators
but it is /elieved that it exceeds CON
siderably that of Burns Brothers
Their prices, it is said, correspond
closely to those Of the other large
dealers, who must buy some of their
coal from wholesalers, pay the rent OF
large yards and the cost Of large de-
livery systems.

G.. ]. Whelan Predicts Con-
tinued Large Earnings;
Ascribes Fall iii Stocks TO
Raiding and Short Selling

George j. Whelan. president of the
United Retail Stores and the associate
Of J. B. Duke, Thomas L. Ryan, Joseph
Widener and others controlling the to-
bacco market. gave out q statement
last night designed to quiet the fears
of stockholders in tobacco companies
in which he and his associates are in
terested. He and his fellow magnates
were confident that prosperous times
we're ahead for the tobacco companies.
he said and had resolved to express
market disturbances had worried
shareholders.
"All the tobacco companies with
which my friends and are identified" !"
he said, "arc in excellent condition.
Their earnings are large and there is
no reason why dividends should not be-
continued or increased. These COM
panies will prosper regardless of what
happens in other industries, for there
is special reason.
II am willing to talk about the
tobacco business because it is Just en-
terlng thrce-year period of greatest
prosperity. To preserve the favors Of
brands we have to use the merged
crops of everal years in current pro-
duction. Because of that we do not
get immediate benefit of low prices for
the leaf. But we do get the benefit
for period Of three years on falling
market. For that reason we did not
get as much profit from the war bust
ness as did other industries. We have
now entered a period in which we
shall get our share and it must last
tor years to come.
These large earnings are not the
result Of increased prices, for we have
not really increased prices over the
level Of 1914. They have advanced
only enough to cover the larger wages
and the war and revenue taxes. Retail
prices can be reduced when taxes are
reduced. Our business has grown in
volume and our profits come from the
larger turnover.
"Raiding and short selling has been
responsible for most of the declines in
the prices Of our securities. 1t is be-
yond the power of any group of men
to prevent such things at times. Our
stocks are worth moro intrinsica]ly
than they were year ago l want the
people who own our securities to be
treasured. There is not one thing
wrong and they should not be gov.
erned by stock market reports and
prices.''

DR.. Brisco, of New York Uni
versity, Wants a Fund of
$l, ,OOO,O to Conduct
Modern Scientific Courses

DR.. Norris Brisco, dean Of the New
York University Training School for
Teachers Of Retail Selling, announced
yesterday that he had discussed with
some of the foremost merchants of the
metropolitan district a plan for the
establishment of q school of merchan-
dising at the university with a
S1000,000 fund given by merchants of
this city.
With this fund fellowships, scholar
ships and professional chairs would be
endowed in the new school and facili-
ties assured for conducting the insti-
tuition along modern scientific lines in
much the same way that schools of
medicine and law are conducted. There
would be courses for buyers, crediv
men, advertising men, comptrollers,
service uperintendents, statesmen, ex-
ecutives and mercantile workers of all
sorts.
Dean Brisco has suggested the en-
dowment by merchants and manufac-
turers Of a research laboratory to sup
plement the work of the school, which

world and all necessary complementary
equipment for study in the school Of

Besides discussing the projects with
the merchants, who he hopes Will un-
derwrite it and benefit from it, Dean
Brlsco has taken it up with representa-
tives Of the Board of Education and
with the council of New York Univer-
sity. Chancellor Elmer E. Brown, Of
the university, was one of those at the
conference.
He referred to the present copper
alton between the University of London

Panama Canal Ends
Best Year With a
$2,387,599 Profit
Governor Harding, Predict
ing Bigger Gains, Says
Waterway Is Stimulating
Trade With Other Nations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Thc PAN
anna Canal has closed the best year
financially in its six years of opera
ton with an excess Of $2SS7b99 in
revenue over the expense of operation
and maintenance.
Brigadier General Chester Harding,
Governor of the Panama Canal, pre-
dlcted in his annual report to the Sec
retary of War, made public to-day, that
within reasonable period of normal
world conditions the canal will earn
an actual profit on its cost, which has
been 1856, 100000, exclusive of expendi-
lures for it's military and naval de-
Tense. In the mean time, the General
added, the canal is performing an i'm
portant commercial service by stmu-
lating American trade with the west
coast of South America and the Orient.
More than 25 per cent of the cargoes
opening was in transit between the
United States and South America and
141. per cent was between the Atlantic
coast of the United States and the
Orient.
Within tho six years Of operation,
General Harding's report said, there
has been a marked increase in traffic
through the canal.
pended by the United States on the
canal, Governor Harding said
"The investment, from one point of
view, may be regarded as having been
made and justified in the creation of
an invaluable element Of national de-
fense. If this be true. the canal has
an additional value in rendering useful
service in time of peace and in re-
turning to the Federal Treasury reve-
nue. more than sufficient to defray the
expense Of it's operation and main
tenance. 1t is capable Of uoirr more
than this; and it is not an idle predic-
tion to state that with proper manage
ment directed along the lines of a
large business enterprise, it will,
within reasonable period of normal
world conditions, earn an actual profit
on the cost. From an analysis made
under reasonable assumptions as to
amortization, depreciation. obsolescence
oiiO itIClSoL ~ ~ tStlilldLeQ tudC viii
an annual revenue of three times that
of 1920 the canal will make a financial
return on the investment. The time
required to produc, this result will be
affected by any charges in legislation
affecting charges for tolls"
In the year 2,745 vessels passed
through the canal, of which 2,47S were
comm ercial transits. Tolls and other
revenues amounted to $9935,671 while
current expenses of operation and
maintenance totaled to S6,548,272. The
excess Of revsnue this year reduced
to $2,231 091 the excess of expense and
maintenance over revenues for the six
years the canal has been in operation
AT the rate of revenues this year it
is expected that by June 80, 1921, the
collections for tolls and other canal
revenues will exceed by 100000 or
more the total current expenses Of
operation and maintenance from the
opening to that date, after which. the
canal authorities argue, there should
be an excess of $4,000 900 or more each
war

Reopening of Textile
Mills Predicted Soon
Hope for Resumption Based on
Call for Conference of
Officers and Aids
special Dtspetch to The Tribune


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Nov. 21.-In-
dicatons of a revival in the textile
Industry within the next few weeks
we're noticeable here to-day, although
the management of the Passaic Mills
had not receded from its denial that
the mills were about to resume opera
tons
Persistent report of revival in the
textile trade was based on information
that all the executives and heads of de-
partments in the mills had been called
together for a conference. According
to representatives of the workers, the
reopening will take place within two
weeks.
The six months agreement between
the manufacturers and operatives,
reached last summer. and which ex-
pires December l, has not been dis
cussed, however.
One source Of hopefulness was the
TACT that the Fall River manufacturers
and operatives recently reached an
agreement by which there was to be no
reduction in wages.
Local industrial leaders declined to
comment on the situation, but it was
pointed out that Fall River and New
Bedford have usually followed each
olner IN matters of this sort.
