Our Debt to Our Soldiers

TO t"e Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
SIr-I should like to make reply to a
reader who signed himself IS. l.. T." In a
recent issue OF the Peoples Forum. First
want to assure him that I pride myself
on being real American, and down In
my heart l am one who thinks that the
should like him to show me some OF those
men who came back from the war better
physically than when they went away.
IN regard to his line about not hearing
any Kicks from those who had to buy Lib.
Nty bonds on weekly or monthly payments
and who have since been forced to sell them
az great sacrifice, | would like to know
where no was during the war, and II he
uought any bonds out of "A pay' OF $50 a
month RS lots Of the soldiers did, and then
upon their return were forced to sell their
oehds at a sacrifice. ] had to sell mine at
tacrlhce to buy civilian clothes. and am
not kicking
me writer referred to says the cE-soln,sl
mas nothing coming. Neither has any real
american. yet he makes an awful howl
ABOUT buying Liberty bonds and selling them
"' tacTince, The few dollars sacrifice he
may nave made does not compare to one
aayh sacrifice that any soldier made.
am one ex-soder who saw some active
seF'Ice' which put me in hospital In

Investlaate Coal Situation

TO the Editor Of the EUcuit0 Public Ledger;
Sr-Thr public press has always been
regarded BY the public az the medium by
which their grievances could be given pub
rclty. and II has chePrtully published all
communications bearing on any subject In
the interest OF the public. The greatest
sr!ovRnc" the people of Philadelphia have
to-day Is the coal gougc. Representative
Gass. of Philadelphia, has been making
strenuous efforts to have the coal situation
Investigated. 1t IL Understood that he Is
opposed by Il powerful lobby from the OPP
orators and the coa-carrying and mining
companies and II Is ntimated they have
ample means at their command to try 20
defeat the bill. 1t Is UP to the newspapers
Of Philadelphia to encourage Mr.. Glass In
his efforts to stop tho extortion of the
operators.
II the operators are honest. why are
they opposed to investigation7 They
claim they are losing money at the present
price $50 for nut and stove and sI.s5 for
egg at the mines. II anything. they should
court an investigation In place Of opposing
It. The freight on coal at the present time
On the Pennsylvania Railroad from the
mines to Philadelphia Is $2.88. $3.50 and
1922, or an average Of s2.86 a ton de-
ljvered In the yards at Philadelphia. This.
added to tS.16 at the mines would cost the
retailer s11.O6 in the yard for nut and
stove. Egg In lower in price. Why should
the retailer charge tho public $l5 n ton.
. profit OF - a ton? challenge any retail
tealcr to dispute these figures. Their prices
have been simply a gouge OF the public.
The people of Philadelphia and through
cut the state should interview or write their
representatives. in the Legislature. urging
thcm to back up the Glass bill. and not
allow It 70 be smothercd in committee. II
the Retail Coal Dealers Association Cor
comhinp) IN the state OF Pennsylvania Is
Instrumental in fixing n uniform price at
which all other dealers shall sell the coal
In order to avoiu any OF them cutting prices.
they should be prosecuted for an Illegal
ombination In restraint Of trade and
On conviction the officers OF the above as
ISOLATION should be heavily fined. and II.
after investigation, the operators are found
guilty OF gOuBlng. they should be made to
pay to the state 50 Il ton for all coal sold
b. the United States In 1919. 1920 and
1921, EXCEPT coal used on the railroads and
exported

An EmpIoye on Passes

To the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Regarding II. A. Turner's views oil
passes to railroad employees: Since reading
his letter in the Peoples Forum OF March
II and calling the acceptance OF passes as
graft, etc. have been wondering what
kind OF narrow minded person he might
be or what position In this world he holds.
Always remember that the railroad man.

the average critic OF railroad men. lie ,s

Mr.. Turner. let me have some idea Of
how much you do In this world to promote
the equality OF all and perhaps can then
broaden your narrow mind. that lives only
for yourself J. J. McENERY.
