INDEPENDENT COAL COMPANIES
 TAX NEW YORK S17 100000 IN
 EXCESSIVE PRICES EACH YEAR
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Startling tes- timony regarding alleged profiteering in anthracite coal prices was given to- day at the opening of the investigation of the senate committee on reconstruc- tion and production into the hard coal industry. Features of the testimony were:
 New England states and New York are each taxed SIT 100000 annually in excessive coal prices."
 Company producers are selling coal at SS f. O. b. mines, while 'independ- ents" are charging S15.
 Coal prices were raised from S1 to $1.60 a ton last April in anticipation of wage increases" which finally only cost the operators from 45 to 50 cents a ton.
 Twenty five big coal concerns in New York and other eastern cities are selling coal at mines from s10 to $15 a ton, when a fair price would be $9.50.
 Seven anthracite companies control about 75 to so per cent of the hard coal output
 While the output of independent pro- ducers is only 25 per cent of the anthra- cite production, more than 40 per cent of the hard coal is being sold on the market "at excessive independent prices'
 Eugene Hutton. federal administrator l for Massachusetts. in appearing to pro test against his state being made the dumping ground for independent an- 1 thracite coal at excessive prices" tes- i tified that New England was being taxed 17,000, 900 in excess of the "faii 1 prices" charged by company producers i New York consumers were being simi- larly taxed.
 i Wholesalers, he added, also were l juggling prices by selling to each other taking S1 a ton profit, mostly by "papeI ! transactions" he added.
 W. H. Williams, vice president of thu Hudson. Coal company and the Dela- ware and Hudson Railroad company denied that the company coal opera tors had a common price" Under examination by Senator Edge he stated prices had been raised las April S1, S1.4O and $1,60 a ton. price varying on sizes. in anticipation of tn
 wage increases to miners.
 When Senator Edge asked if it wa
 not true that the wage incrfase ha,

 BOARDS REPORT
Widespread Industrial De- pression Has Not Devel- oped Serious Unemploy- ment, Report Says.
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Official re- ports from forty-five states reveal widespread industrial depression in spite of which no serious or general unemployment has as yet developed, the national industrial conference board declared in a statement tonight.
 This situation has developed when seasonal agricultural employment is at its lowest ebb in most sections with indications that unemployment slowly is increasing, it was stated.
 To understand the apparently con- tradictory situation of unemployment, the board asserted: Tt is necessary to recall that the industries are just emerging from a period of intensive operation In many localities there has been a chronic shortage of labor for several years. Overtime work has been general. The agricultural work has been carried on shorthanded.
 High wages have brought a great inflow from villages and rural dis tricts to the industrial centers. The country has never fully realized the l Iahor shortage in minor employments ve e'ch this condition brought about. ] The industrial depression has cut out ! 1 in evidence in many industries. Complete shut-downs have oc- cured and are occurring but not in great numbers, nor for any great ! length.
 The labor. therefore, that has been released, has largely drifted hack to the less attractive employments from which it was drawn to the high wage industries and is not always unem- ployed, even when so reported In some districts the back-d drift has not as vet been sufficient to make up the loss due to the war time migration to industrial centers. In these sections an actual shortage is reported
 Tn New England the unemployment

SAYS NATION SHOULD
 OBSERVE MORAL
 BUSINESS LAWS
TRepublican A. p. Leased wlre1

NEW YORK, Dec. Necessity Of observing the laws of morality in busi- ness was emphasized tonight by Gov ernor Coolidge vice president elect, in an address.
 Forming action of the Democratic administrations conduct of war an example of what should not be done by business men-avoidance of moral ob- legations - Governor Coolidge de- nounced practices of similar avoidance by men in business relations who, he said, seek their own profit regardless Of others. He cited recent wholesale cancellation of orders for merchandise as an example of improper methods. This, he said, resulted from extrava- gant ideas resulted during the pros perity of recent years.
 From 1916 to 1920 America us have believed themselves in easy circum- stances" he said. True, prices were high but rewards of effort seemed higher still. All seemed so easy that people came to a condition where they dld not care. There seemed to be an impossible demand for all human en- deavor."
 The result experienced, Governor Coolidge said, has been disastrous"
 We are in an era of deflation and ! the public is trying to put all the bur den on the producer by refusing tC carry out its bargains" he declared | ''The worst manifestation of this is tn, ! cancellation of orders" he said. ''be cause it was thought it would not b' profitable to meet such cost"
 Our whole economic structure hai been disarranged," ." he Scontinued. wv have sought in our eoknomic relation a false independence and a false free dom. Men are not and cannot be il any of the relations of life independen of the moral laws
 Of the Wilson administration h said:
 'Tt failed because it did not mee the moral requirements of the Amer ican people. It has gone now. I woul be the last to cavil at it. But it's les sons must be remembered. It asked i the first place that America disregar it's obligations because it was nor profitable to do so. No wonder tn
 country felt duped when it failed t
 do its duty at additional cost or per
 ish."
 He quoted what Roosevelt declare
 he would have done when German
 invaded Belgium and added:
 "The administration said it kept tn peace. What America should have re
 quired was not the keeping Of tn peace but the keeping of its soul
 was the process, not the result tha counted
 "The great lesson of economic an , past experience is that people and par ties and nations must observe tn
 moral standards. They have been dis | regarded in business with disaster, politics with defeat and by the natio with resulting war. If there he an advantage to be gained from these eS periences it will be by a renewed de termination of the people and the gov ernment to meet their obligation Germany has found out that

He then paid a tribute to the influence of religion, de- claring if he did not know there was a God to aid mankind, he never would want to take the responsibilities of the presidency.

 'sNeither would I want to be pres ident if I did not feel that I would have your help" he continued I want a united nation and I want some how to appeal for that understanding, that will have te people of the Con federacy understand that that's only memory.

 Must Have Marine
 "A lot of old hide-bound Democrats and a lot of miserable old mug-wump Republicans have been utterly blind to the idea of the American nation giving thought to an adeduate merchant ma lrine. If the LaFollette seamen's aci represents the conscience of tbs American people and I believe it does then the American government ough' to step in and share the burden il imposes.
 1 aT want to call attention that tn. chief propagandists against subsidiei for American ships were the agent of the Hamburg American and Norti German Lloyd lines. I don't know whether thefr opposition was inspires by selfish competition or whether was due to a far-reaching design O the ruling class of the central empires sometimes aspiring monarchs think o these things, and I believe the rulel of Germany was looking forward t world domination.
 What I want for America is thai the ten million tons of shipping VI Auilded during the war shall be turned over to private management under government encouragement. And want above all that we shall preserv, one thing more. We must preserve tho majesty of government and of law and these rest on the constitution.

The report of Deputy Collector ot Customs, F. J. Vandewall, of Skag

 There were 2,104 passengers to leave Skagway for the interior last year, and 1867 persons arrived al Skagway from the interior, making q net gain for the North as far as that point is concerned of 237. pff
