tains courses In economies, Industrial
law and labor history.
The instructors will be chosen both
from the colleges and universities and

very small group OF banking interests.
Its entwining arms are seven railway
systems which control at their ex-
tremities the anthracite mining opera :
tions of the country.
The books of the entiro concern, of
the industry from mine via railroad to
final disposal by the sales corporation,
must be examined before any one can
say just what are the profits derived
from anthracite.
Our contention is that such an ex-
animation of the books OF the anthracite
coal combination is essential to the
settlement Of this controversy on the
basis Of justice.
Claims Profits Are Concealed
The point which we wish to make
is that a well defined process exists by
which the profits of the anthracite in
dustry are successfully concealed, the
high prices being explained by ap-
parent high costs. The losses Of the
railroad coal companies are written into
the cost of transportation through ad-
vances without interest and through the
funding operations which impose large
fixed charges upon the railroad depart
ment.
The high freight rates which such
inflated transportation costs seem to
Justify are written into the cost of an
thracite and serve to bridge the gap
between the mine cost and the high
prices which prevail"

WORK OF CAPITALISTS
DURING LATE WAR
Vast Sums Expended By Them With
out Proft-Committe to Investi-

NEW YORK, Jan. l0.--A story OF how
many capitalists spent vast sums without
expectation of return or profit to aid the
government in its efforts to supply eX-
plosives for the war was told here yester-
day to members of the public committee
on expenditures in the war department.
Frank S. Washburn, president Of the
built one of the plants at Muscle Shoals,
informed the committee that the com
any had made no profits on over SS9, 600,

the government. The plan cost the gov

900 tons OF ammonium-nitratc when the

1T was inconceivable to me- said Mr..
Washburn, that during the war some
men Of affairs should be enabled by the
government to make large profits and
others should give their services for 81 a
year or risk their lives at the front. Tho

want any profit out of its war work. rs
matter Of fact it had none. Govern
ment officials insisted that we be paid q

To Divide With Employees
Saving in Overhead
Expense
AMOUNT DEPENDS
ON COOPERATION
Policy Is in Line With Principle that
Greater Production Throughout the
Country win Cure Many Economic
Ills-Dates from Jan. /.

1t is generally recognized that ade-
quate production throughout the coun-
try would cure most of the economic
ills that now exist, and ii will be of
public interest to know that the Estey
Organ Co. of Brattleboro has Just
adopted policy in line with that prin-
ciple.
In order to encourage a greater out
put and secure more hearty cooper.
alton from its employees, the company
has submitted proposition to them on
the basis of dividing with them $3.50
the savings which can be made on
overhead expense incident to the man
ufaeture of pipe and reed organs.
Overhead expense is an item which
is practically constant, no matter what
the production. and it is obvious that
a greater production will reduce the
amount of overhead expense which has
to be figured on an individual instru.
ment, though as yet no actual figures
will amount to. That will depend di.
rectly on the cooperation for increased
output
the proposition is accepted by the en-
ployes in the spirit in which it is given.
and even now a very decided effort is
noticeable throughout the factory to
make this success.
The proposition, which is dated Jan.
!, 1920, follows:
| ''We will pay monthly one,haf the
savings of manufacturing expenses
arising from relatively increased pro
duetion, to our factory and Office en-
! ployes, payment of such savings to be
made monthly and as soon after the
end of each month as practicable. and
to be paid to each employe continuing
in our employ to the end of the month
The amount TO be paid to each employ
will be such q proportion of one-hali
of the savings from increased produe
tion as the total regular pay received
by an employe bears to the total pay
for all employees for the same period
= ''ESTEY ORGAN COMPANY. -
In other words, after each month
from Jan. /, 1920, the company vii
compute the average saving in over
head expense per instrument through
increased output, and one-half of thi
saving will be divided among the en-
ployes in addition to their regular pay
each employees s share being based Oh
the amount regularly paid to such EN-
ploye.
! In sense this is a proitsharinI
plan, and ii is an incentive TO ever,
employe to bring production up to tn
top notch.
