KAISER REFUSED

The former kaiser had the right to pro-

The Frankfort company, according to

costs covers a period from Jan. l, 1910

that during this period the labor costs
u
Of coal were mined.
The average costa per ton is given as
81 1899
AVERAGE ANNUAL
FIGURES GIVEN.
In order to analyze these costs the
examiners determined that the mine had
been idle 14S days during the eleven
months. They found that the avera &c
annual production for the seven years
since 1913 was 151 ,16S tons and that the
average operation was 1928 days a year
With the figures in view the exam
liners say:
1.-THE labor costs figured by the COM
pany includes the month of March whe,l
the mine was not operating on account
of no market for coal; also the month
of November when the strike was on
and there was no production, except 200
tons of boiler coal mined by the COM
pany men.
'sThe company also includes in the
labor cost salaries paid to superintend-
ents and surveyors, which we have rea-
son to believe were not affected by the
II per cent increase. They also include
the salaries Of a bookkeeper and a
clerk at the mine Office, which items
should. no doubt, be rejected for the
same reason"
For the reasons given in their state
nent, the examiners deduct $12, 1916
from the total labor cost which reduces
the average cost per ton to $1.4S63. The
examiners also report that If the mine
had operated an average number Of days
the costs would be lower. The examiners
state that heavy production did not cor
resrondingly increase the totll cost of
labor.

WAR DECLARED
ON WORTHLESS
STOCK SELLERS

The indianapolis stock exchange has
declared war on the blue sky" vulture.
H. Foster Clippinger, newly elected
president Of the exchange, today declared
that from now on the promoter of blue
sky IS doomed to travel a hard road in
indianapolis"
Mr.. Clippinger said the new organiza-
ton Of bond men known as the Indianap-
oils Bond Mems club has assured the
stock exchange it will cooperate in any
way within its power to rid the city of
these parasites that grow fat on the saw
ings of the workingman and the Better
Business Bureau is going to renew It's
vigilance to the end that the sale Of
fraudulent stocks IN this city will be a
precarious undertaking.
SOMETHING MUST BE
DONE AT ONCE.
MATTERS have reached such a state that
we have got to do something. Every day
some one is coming into my Office tell
ing me to look up some stock or other
that is absolutely worthless" Mr.. CLIP
pinger told the board of governors Of the
stock exchange.
They had all had similar experiences
with a monotonous regularity and their
"go the limit"
The first step in an active campaign
undertaken by the stock exchange is to
Issue public invitation through the col
umns of the daily papers for anyone who
thinks they have been defrauded ont of
any money or Liberty bonds through the
sale Of stock to report their case TO any
member of the exchange. The case will
be Immediately referred to the board Of
governors and an investigation insti-
tuted that will end only when the merits
of the case are fully determined.
If fraud or misrepresentation are dis
covered the case will be handed over to
the county prosecutor, Claris Adams.
CLUB TO TAKE
UP QUESTION.
Raymond d. Jackson of the Fletcher
American Company, one of the organizers
Of the Bond Mems club, says that when
the club holds its first business meeting
Saturday the blue sky question will be
one Of the first to be considered.
Gas soon as we have elected permanent
officers and dispatched with ordinary rOu-
tine details, we will outline a definite
and concrete plan to combat blue sky
activities" Mr.. Jackson said.
"And you can count on the Bond Mems
club to go the limit along with the
stock exchange in running these get-rich-
quick promoters out of town." he cOntin-
ued. 1T wouldn't be so bad if they had
anything, but about eight-sevenths of the
promotion schemes now before the public
are based on Imagination for returns to
the investor, and l will say for some of
the birds selling them they have magma
ton in plenty.
"You can bet on the bond men to help
out in any way that will protect the in
terest of the investor, whether it be the
man with small savings account or the
wealthy capitalist whose investment ac-
count runs into thousands" Mr. Jackson
concluded.
