NOTE BRINGS RESULTS

Indianapolis, Ind - Several weeks
ago a story was sent out by the
United Mine Workers of America
stating shat Jack Bell and other
miners at Tiltonville, Ohio, were
placing in each car of coal mined by
them a note which read as follows:
"We miners got so cents a ton
for this coal. How much did
you pay for it,"
Bell has written the United Mine
Workers Journal that contractor at
Osceola, Ark, informed him that this
coal sold at Osceola for $11 a ton,
and a letter from another man at
Mckinney, Texas, stated that the
coal from Tiltonville was selling
there for $3.50 a ton, and that the
ton consisted of 1900 pounds.
The United Mine Workers say this
incident proves what they have been
saying for a long time, that there
is too much difference between what
the miner gets for mining the coal
and what the consumer is required to
pay for it. 1t proves further, they
say, that the miners are not to blame
for the high price of coal throughout
the country, in spite of the fact that
an attempt was made by some coal
operators recently to justify a large
increase in the selling price by say
ing that the increase was made ne
cessary by 27 per cent increase in
wages granted to the mine workers.
at is not the miner that gets the
money the consumer pays for his
COAL" it was said at the United Mine
Workers headquarters. "Some one
else gets it and we believe the public
should know it"

ARCADE AND THIRD ST.
PROFITfERS IN CLOVER

Washington-ln speech in the
United States senate Mr.. Capper of,
Kansas included list Of corporations
and their immense profits since the
beginning of the war. These are ex-
elusive of vast sums that the govern
ment must refund because of the
supreme courts decision that stock
dividends can not be taxed under the
income tax law. Senator Capper said
that the price of crude oil has been
Increased 800 per cent.
"Other !upholders of government
and befrienders of the poor" he said,
"are the American Hide & Leather
company, whose profits for 1919 were
more than three and one-half times
larger than those it gained in 1914;
the Central Leather company, whose
1919 profits are more than double
those of the same months in 1918;
and the Endicott-J Johnson shoe manu-
featuring corporation, whose profits
rose from $2,174,430 in 1915 to $9,-
791 $50 in 1919.
"In terms of dividends on it's COM
mon stock, last years profits of the
American Hide & Leather company
INCREASED for IA cents a share in
1915 to $1552 a share in 1919, or 35
times the earnings it distributed in
1915 and they were ample"

PROFITEERS AND PATRIOTS

Liberty Bonds continue to fall. The
Victory Bonds have fallen so low that
thev are now on a per cent basis
This means that the millions of work
ers and farmers who purchased
Liberty Bonds at par have already
lost from $4 to $13 on every 500
that they invested.
While Liberty Bonds go tumbling,
railroad securities go mounting.
Your Government has given a guar
antee at 6 per cent to worthless rail
way securities, and converted billions
of speculation, stock gambling and
corruption into gilt-edged bonds, and
by this very guarantee has driven
downward the hardearned savings of
the poor.
This is one way by which Congress
has made the poor poorer, and the
rich richer. 1t has legislated billions
out of the pockets of the poor, and
transferred them to the pockets of
the rich.
Mr.. Lawrence B. Finn, Commits
sioner of Railroads of Kentucky in
recent letter to the Louisville Herald
says:
"By financing priyately-owned rail
road companies at 6 per cent, and
Liberty Bond holders at Az per cent,
the patriotism of the public is dis
counted and a premium is placed on
private greed and selfishness, and be-
sides this policy dissipates billions of
dollars of those who invested in Gov
ernment bonds"
Continuing he makes this prophesy:
"Mark this prediction. Wall Streets
next step will be to demand an in
crease in interest rates on Govern
ment bonds, after they have dis
counted billions of these securities
held by the public. Then after rates
are increased on GONeTHuleHG JULIUS,
and thereby privately-owned railroad
securities begin to decline, Wall
Street will demand increased rates
on railroad securities, which can only
be met by another increase in freight
rates"
In other words, Wall Street is ham,
mering down Liberty Bonds and is
buying them on the auction block,
from which it will realize hundreds
of millions in ultimate profits. Con-
gress and the stock gamblers are re-
sponsinble for this robbery of the
real patriots of the nation; Congress
by guaranteeing the railroads nearly
2 per cent more on worthless Sc
curities than it guaranteed the
holders of Liberty Bonds, and Wall
Street by hammering down the prices
of Liberty Bonds in order that it can
buy them in at its own price.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-05-07

According to the financial reports
many of the coal operators are advo-
eating an increase in price which will
reimburse them for the profits they
might have made during the war if
the government had not fixed maxi
mum price. If this is done coal will
90 to about $12 to SIS ton. Before
the government set a maximum price
of II cents on sugar during the war;
it was currently reported the inten-
ton was to carry the price to 27
cents. If the sugar refners, whole
salers and dealers, now try to make
up for the profits they lost during
government control, 35 to 40 cents
per pound may soon be the charge.

UNREST
(By John Bush.)

Whose hand, like the base Judean,
threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe?
Shakespeare.
"Relative to the dissatisfaction
which exists in the nation today
there is as much difference in opinion
as on all other essential topics.
There can be difference in thought on
all subjects and conditions but there
is, which history will verify, but one
cause, and that cause is envy. No
| passion has been more universally
recognized than envy as the basest
of all traits that undermine the nobil
ity of man, and yet there is no OBJ
noxious quality so universal in mems
characters. In the life of the good
man it reminds one of the mice in
our houses which eat their way to
our attention and their own destruc-
ton, for there are few men who have
looked into their own hearts who have
not seen the small but Odious traces
of this gnawing evil Again, the mind
of the bad man who has given him.
self entirely to envy is a VOLTS den,
bowling pandemonium, where no
quarter is given and where the merits
of the deserving rather than the
lapses of the blameworthy are torn as
the most toothsome morsel in a
furious feast.
The bible says that envy is the
rottenness of the bones, meaning that
utter corruption which has finally
reached the framework of the struct-
ure. The unrest of the nation is due
to the fact that this latter class of
men, who have for centuries devas-
tated nations, have succeeded in cast
ing aside the principles of American
ism and the teachings of the script
ure and now control our government
Should the writer express his atti-
tude of mind in his own words no
doubt he would be considered an
agitator and an undesirable citizen,
as are all others who criticise selfish
capitalists. What conception the de-
tenders of capital have of these
words of st. James in the first six
verses of chapter V is a question
hard to determine:
Go to now We rich men, weep and
howl for your miseries that shall
come upon you.
Your riches are corrupted and your
governments are motheaten.
Your gold and silver is cankered
and the rust of them shall be wit
ness against you, and shall eat your
flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped
treasure together for the last days.
Behold the hire Of the laborers who
have reaped down your fields, which
is of you kept back by fraud crieth,
and the cries of them which have
reaped are entered into the ears of
the Lord.
Ye have lived In pleasure on the
earth and been wanton, ye have
nourished your hearts as in day
of slaughter.
Ye have condemned and killed the
Just and he doth not resist you.
1t has been envy that has caused so
many wars in ancient times, and the
same disposition caused the late
world-war which created $4,000 new
millionaires. When a comparative
few men can have an income of
So 800, 100000 in four years as re-
suit of war, it is not surprising that
there is so much unrest among the
majority who are much worse off
than in pre-war days, though they
were the more loyal and patriotic.
