OWNERS TO keep
PUBLIC IN DARK
Coal Operators Violated Prom.
Use As to Publicity Made to
Federal Trade Commission.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Because
coal owners have failed to live up
to their promise to supply cost of
production and other figures, the
federal trade commission announces
the possible suspension of it's month
ly bulletin, which informed the pub
lie on coal industry costs and pro-
duction.
The commission states that attor-
,neys for the National Coal associa-
ton notified coal owners last Jan
uary that the commission has the
lawful power to collect this informal
ton. The commission was given
copy of this opinion. Later the coal
association changed it's policy and it
was agreed with the commission that
the coal owners would start four test
suits, covering all phases of the is
sue. Instead, the coal owners started
one suit on questions which were
more favorable to them and the other
three suits have not been started
In the one suit the commission was
enjoined from enforcing penalties
where re- ~:rts were not made. The
commission than invited voluntary
cooperation and the responses have
become fewer and fewer.
The coal owners 4Action~is in line
with it's policy of proclaiming that
the public should be informed on all
the acts-and then block every at
tempt. to make this boast a reality
In the recent wage hearing on
wage demands of bitunlinous miners
at Scranton, the coal owners sue
ceeded in stopping the miners from
putting in the record series of sta
tistics that would show exorbitant
profits of coal owners, their produce
ton costs, and their monopolistic pol
iCies.

COMMITTEES TO
CANVASS voters
Union Labor Starts Campaign to
Get Every Union Man and
wife to Register.

Following an appeal from the
American Federation of Labor re-
ceived in Duluth, and which will be
read at the next meeting of the Fed
Grated Trades assem- bly,, every local
union will be urged to appoint spe-
cial committee to canvass the men,
bership for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether or not every eligible voter
in the union has registered so that he
can vote at the November election.
It is proposed that committees con-
sisting of working women and the
wives of union men be formed for
the purpose of canvassing the homes
in sections of the city where working
people reside to the end that every
voter shall be registered. An analysis
of the register lists at the city hall
indicate that the largest registration
for women is in the East End. A
comparatively small number Of wo-
men have registered in the working
peoples districts.
The National non-partisan political
campaign committee Of the A. F. Of
L. points out that neglect to register
is an act Of voluntary disfranchise-
ment and that the entire political
structure rests upon the faithfulness
of the individual in promptly attend,
ing to the business Of registration
and otherwise complying with the
election laws. =, y.*s::1 -
Every worker in the land" the
committee asserts, should be enrolled
as qualified voter on the first day
of registration. We call upon all

Senator Harding, Republican can
didate for president, has given out a
signed statement to. the labor press
for publication in LABOR Day issues
in which he treats of the necessity
Of speeding up production in the
country, denounces profteering as a
national crime and refuses to recog-
nize conflict of interests among the
participants in industry. The state
ment is as follows:
II want, somehow, to appeal to the
sens and daughters of the republic,
to every producer, to join hand and
brain in production, more production
honest production, patriotic produc-
ton, because patriotic production is
no less a defense of our civilization,
than that of armed force.
"Profiteering is a crime Of COM

most and best. else the destructive
reaction will come. We must stabi-
lie and strive for normality, else the
inevitable reaction will bring it's train
of sufferings, disappointments and re-
versals. We want to forestall such
reaction, we want to hold all advance
ground, and fortify it with general
good fortune.

OUTSIDE THE LAW
By STUART RIVERS .Co-author of @Love Aff nirs of . Lonely worans

Susie decide that the girl was to DC or | fered as a sacrifice. There would be noun ing wanting in the evidence; if need pc, a dozen men would be brought forWaruu U to prove that it was her hand that hdu held the knife. Indeed. they wouio nav even seen her commit the crime. IHls was the net against which Red Larrm had warned her, and Frances felt wave of thankfulness that she was not actuas- | ly in the position that she was piaylng.
 Now another problem was presented to the girl How she could best give Tn 10 the woman's plans, and still escape this devils suspicion.
 Dronning her eyes to the table she nla we'd nervously with the silver. T get what YOU mean" she muttered thickly But what have you got against me? Why do you pick on me to do anything like this?"
 After you left the house in Riverside got Mother Sarah on the phone, Susia answered slowly. And she told me ouite A lot of things Now, it's just this way. Either you are straight and with me on this deal, or you aren't straisht and are against me If you re with me, vo,i'II take orders like any of the others, and if you aren't, then believe me, sis ter, you'll wish, before I get through with you, that you'd never been porn. Now, which is to be?' "I don't know what Mother Sarah told vou." Frances answered sullenly. but it wasn't my fault that these men got into that room. I didn't have anythinU to do with it"
 That may be- or again it may not be, Susie nodded. But it isn't answering my question What are you going to do about going up to Ballin's house and do like I want you to?'
 s'You ain't left me anything to choose, Frances exclaimed angrily. Don't you think I know what you'll do if l don go?"
 Susie smiled easily Frances could not see her lips, but the smile was just as evident in the boise of the woman heaa'
 q thought you had a lot of sense lhe first time I saw you" she answered. NOW you wait here and I'll send Red around with a gun"
 She rose from the table, and after an other ned, turned toward the door anu passed out of the tea room.
 To all intents and purposes, frahces was backed to murder Henry Baliin' anu failing that, she knew she would receive but little mercy at the hands or the woman who had just left her.

 You mean you want me to go up and Kill this man Ballin?" Frances returned, holding her voice low and gazing into Susie's eyes with level glance. "Is that your idea?"
 The woman nodded, indifferently pick ing up spoon and tapping with it on the table.
 Rapidly Frances considered In the f4re or this astounding piece of planning il was difficult for her to remember that she was playing part, and yet that part Ead to be played, and successfully else the woman would suspect, and possilav discover her real identity If she agreed to the plan, knowing all the time that she was safe, it might seem suspicious. and still. Frances reached decision and a rather scornful laugh broke from her lips.
 Do I look that easy?" she exclaimed. what makes you think I'm looking for seat in the electric chair?"
 The woman's lips that held the cigarette curled with touch of malice.
 Then you refuse to do it?" she wanted to know.
 "of course refuse. D look like I'm crazy?''
 Suit yourself" Susie exclaimed harsh ly. dropping her veil about her chin and preparing to leave the table. "Only don't be surprised if the police calf you up to know what you have to say about the killing of Frances Tucker
 Frances Tucker" frances repeated Ter own name blankly. Who's Frances Tucker?"
 ''Oh, a girl that got killed down in an office building on William street this morning."
 And what do you think know about it?"
 
 Why. you killed her." Susie answered with small show of interest.
 TT killed herr" Frances stammered. What? Why. I was on the train this morning. What do you mean-I killed ber?r
 Say, listen,' Susie broke in inpatient ly. "I haven't got all day long to sit here and argue with you. What want to know is, are you going to do the job l told you about, or do we have to give up the information to the police that you killed Frances Tucker? You can take your choice It doesn't make any differ ence to me-"
 Deeply Frances saw into the workings Of the woman's system. She held her confederates to her by a system that was fiendish in it's strength. There would be no doubt as to Frances guilt, should
