MILLIONS MADE IN
COAL DEAL GRAFT


! operator, knowing his friend and partner
had done an Illegal thing and probably
would not care to "squeal," tried TO
"hold out" on him.
When the public utility officer, how
ever. actually had taken preliminary
steps In the courts TO recover his share
OF the profit the speculator. deprecating
publicity In the matter effected a set
Element out OF court Both men were In
the millionaire class, Il IS said, and
could not well afford the publicity trial
might have entailed
There Is n somewhat less ambitious
operator who has admitted that he went
into the soft coal speculative export
market on q capital Of s., S0c--what most
dealers would call "a shoestrinG and
in a single month cleaned up profit OF
$1,000
Some OF the, men who have been prob
ing this situation for the Department OF
Justice probably have heard also OF a
third operator who controlled abso-
lutely an output OF about 600 tons of
soft coal yearly and who made no par
ticular secret OF the fact that he had
cleaned up on Il al net profit or 70 a
ton or $1,000. 900 for the lot.
The total annual output OF soft coal
from United States mines is ABOUT lz,"vV,-
600 tons a week. IN view of the in
stances cited OF speculative profits, It is
not hard to realize that e&tortlonate
profiteering and extravagant graft have
been found blazing the devious trails
from mine to tldewater, nor that the ag-
gregate of such unsavory money easily
mounts into the tens of millions
Just how much Of the facts may be
brought into the sunlight in connection
with the trials of the men and corpora
tons indicted in this particular Federal
district is yet problematical. There is
a hope that the summary action taken
here may apply a timely brake upon the
high gear trickery and prohteering prac-
tised similarly elsewhere.
Whatever revelations the Department
Of Justice may see At to make will be
interesting reading to tho manufactures,
who has been sitting under the menace
of empty bins and motionless machinery
while spectators have battened upon
the fuel he could not get. Also. with
the knowledge that graft has had to
lubrlcate transportation all along the
line, ard with "ffty-ifty splits in vari-
Gus directions, no little light is thrown
upon the heretofore mysterious disparity
between the cost of coal at the mines
and at tidewater.

MILLER DISCUSSES
WHISKEY AND MILK
Takes Issue With Governor on
Both Questions in Speech
at Auburn Meeting.
Special Despatch to THE HERALD.

AUBURN, Oct 9--Discus sing whiskey
and milk. Nathan L. Miller. Republican
candidate for Governor. speaking here
tonight took issue with Gov. Smith. his
opponent on both questions.
1.-The Governor does not want to dis
cvss national issues" said Mr.. Miller.
"IIe wants to talk about the things he
has not done but would have done, he
says, but for Republican Legislature.
WELL he talks about whislSey. and IL
that is not a national issue would like
to know what is; so much so that 1t
row governed by the Federal constitu-
ton. Now. am for respecting and
pressed in our constitution. Where does
the Governor stand on that matter?
Does he think the constitution ought
not to stand between friends--between
himself and the liquor trafiic2
Now. If the Governor Is so sensitive
about discussing national issues, sup
pose we drop whiskey and talk about
milk"
Mr.. Miller said he was against the
Governors plan of trying TO solve the
milk problem by having n commission 10
of placing obstacles in the way oil
enonomc laws by price fixing.
While he would not promise he would
solve the milk question, he indicated the
lines along which he thought effort
should be directed. There must be bet
ter cooperation among the producers IN
handling the surplus to prevent waste
and realize the maximum for the benent
of all, he said.
In addition TO this, the cost or produc-
ton and distribution should be cut down.
He thought farmers might bring about
the former by cooperative buying. Re-
ferring to distribution. Mr.. Miller said:
Here we run into tho problem of ex-
cessive distribution costs of all food
products because of inadequate transpor-
tation and terminal and market facili-
ties and archaic methods. There is now
too greata spread, too great expense, too
much waste between the producer and
the consumers door. This is problem
for scientific study. 1t IS problem on
