GIVES LIVING COST DATA
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Mincrs' rep.
resentatives completed their prcscnta
ton of wage and coal mining cost sta
tistics to the Presidents commission
to settle the coal strike today and,
at the request of the operators, Pres
ident Robinson adjourned the hearings
until Monday when the operators will
present statistical data. Robinson also
A, the commission would hear represeu-
tatives of the coal fields outside the
central territory.
Huge Coal Profits
Van II. Bittner, statistician for the
miners union. continued his analysis
of cost of living statistics fixing the
advance in them since 1913 at 50 per
cent. As to the ability of the mine
owners to pay advances he cited their
profits. His figures showed that the
Pittsburgh Coal Co. made net profit
Of approximately S3 5000 900 for the
for the two year period including 1917
1918 the net profit was more than
SCI 900 600. The profit of S14,oTG. 81
in 1917, he said. represented 2O.6
per cent on the capital stock aud $500
on each employe
Bittner pointed TO the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Co. as another corporation
whose net profits increased enormously
from 1914 to 1918. In 1914. he said
they were S511, 446. and in 1918. So. e
SS6, ,1S0. In the two year period 1914
1915. he said, the Consolidation Coal
Co. had net profits amounting to ap-
lproximately S4,5O0.0 600; in 191T-19tS
the net profits we're approximately SIS, =
500, 900,
Labor Receives Less
Further Bittner cited statistics which
he said were obtained from the treas
ury department and financial reports
showing that 335 mining COMPANIES in
1917 made IS per cent on their capital
stock 81 made 90 pcr cent; 295 made
25 per cent; go made so per cent
s232 made 40 per cent or more: 19T.
90 per cent or more; 1O5. 100 per cent
or more and eight companies made over
1000 per cent.
Regardless of all increases. he said.
mira labor was receiving today fewer
cents out of every dollar paid to opera =
tors for coal than they got in 1918
and 1914.

jury heard testimony into the deaths
Of John J. Kelly and four other mem
bers Of his household at Gal West AL.
legheny avenue, who were asphyxiated
on January 10, and Of William Reed
1852 Gaul street. who died January
8 in the Northwestern General Hos
pital. Verdicts of accidental suffocation
from Illuminating gas escaping from
broken mains in the street were returned
in both cases.
Reed was overcome in the Stevens
Beneficial Club, Gaul and Ann streets,
dying a few hours after reaching the
hospital. The Kelly family were found
dead by neighbors.
Ronald b. Duncan. superintendent of
the Spring Garden district, and Walton
Forstall. Rosemont, an engineer for the
U. G.. I. Co., testified that the supply
mains lay three feet under the street
surface. In cold weather, be said, the
ground freezes to a depth of more than
two feet. Pressure of heavy vehicles on
this frozen surface, he continued,
pushes the dirt against the pipes causing
cracks through which the gas leaks into
the houses by way Of crevices in fouu-
dation walls.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-01-28

In the Kelly case manhole recently
was placed in the street near the
Seventh street side of the house. Later
a depression or settling of the surface
was noticed by Ernest Kley, a butcher,
T01 Allegheny avenue, who said he had
talked with Kelly over the fact and u
resulting shaking Of the houses whenever
a heavy truck passed by.
The gas company officials said nc
remedy other than by constant line in :
spectiou throughout the city could pre-
vent such accidents in cold weather.

LABOR FACTS
London Merchant Speaker
AT International Com
merce Meeting Here.

Ways of settling labor disputes
were discussed yesterday by dIrec-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States with the dele
cation of representatives of Eng
lish Chambers Of Commerce. at the
headquarters Of the Washington
Chamber.
Interesting facts about the labor
situation in England were told the
American business men by Stanley
Machin, president of the London
Chamber of Commerce.
1T should be clearly understood
that in our country We have two
classes of agitstors There are
those who are agitating the unions
in their sincere and earnest wish
to improve the condition Of the
working men. Then there is also
a body-nothing like such a large
body-but q very active body of
extremists who are using the labor
movement simply with the object
of overthrowing the constitution, ''
said Machin.
That body, for the time being.
has captured certain reins Of their
own union government, and they
are making a great deal of fuss.
but I am convinced that in the end
they will be overthrown by the real,
sober-minded trade unions"

CARGO
COSTS 9 LIVES
Sinking Of Eagle Boat in
Delaware Explained by
Naval Court.
tBy Universal seryice.)

Although the naval court that
inquired into the disaster to the
U. S. S. Eagle Is, which turned
partly over during a squall in the
Delaware River last June, with a
loss of nine lives, finds that mo
person or persons were RESPONSE
ble," the stability of this class of
torpedo boat is questioned.
The accident, il is found. was due
to the fact that Eagle IS did not
carry her normal allowance of anu
munition, fuel oil or ballast. The
boat was high out of the water,
and when the squall struck her she
turned over so far that water pour
ed into her ports and drowned the
crew. All boats of the Eagle class
were constructed by Henry Ford
in Detroit
Investigation by the Bureau Of
Construction and Repair disclosed
that without the open air ports
the vessel undoubtedly would not
have capsized." 1t points out, how
ever. that Eagle 25 was "navigat-
ing in a river. in smooth water" d"
and that there was no indication
of the approaching squalI
Commenting on the findings of
the court that neither stability data
nor instructions could be found
aboard the vessel, IL was said:
''W Ien the first Eagles were con-
structed tho bureau made very
careful investigation OF their sta
bility and concluded that in un-
usually light condition at sea these
vessels should be handled with
judgment"

(fhs New York Evesing worid.)

The committee is anxious to get
as many replies as possible from
people who are having difficulties in
finding living quarters within their
means. Practically all of the re-
plies so far received indicate that
much OF the difficulty Is due to the
inability of a large number OF peo-
pie to pay rents which il is neceS-
sary to demand today owing to the
cost of construction.
The coupon seeking the informa-
ton, which the committee desire,
in order to complete its task. is
being printed today in The Wash
inston Herald, and Chairman Fair
fax urges that those having such
Information fill it in and help the
committee in its work.
