GUILTY OF COERCION

New York, Feb. 24.-John T. Het-
trick, lawyer, alleged author of the
"Code of Practice in the plumbing
trade here, and three co-defendants,
were found guilty of coercion and
conspiracy tonight by a jury in the
court of general sessions.
The defendants who were indicted
as a result Of the legislative investi-
cation into the building trades, waiv-
ed their rights to the usual As hour
stay given them by law before SEN
tence, and were Immediately sentenc-
ed to the state penitentiary by Judge
McAvoy. This means a sentence Of
from six months to three years.

Cling. 1t has been said-that women
are more frequent smugglers than
men; in fact, some have gone as far
as to say that no matter how veal
thy woman may be, she somehow,
cannot get herself to part with any
money for import duties.
This has been somewhat s;tbstaa-
tiated by the fact that the superb
cial analysis of the handwriting Of
senders of conscience money points
to a greater portion of remitters of
the sex of the first deceiver-Eve.
There may be other explanations
for this. Women may be more sus-
ceptible to conscience, or again, as
someone has suggested, some of the
men who have sent IN conscience
money may have been fearful of re-
vealing their identity through their
handwriting, and so, have had their
wives write the letters.
Remitters Generally "Penitent"

been cancelled ard consequently can

from the Government. That there is
a keen senes of guilt in the minds of
the senders is evinced by the words
used at the end of their letters. "A
Sinner" and "Penitent" are fire.

If previous wars may be used as
precedents, there will be plenty of

RUSSIA is STARVING
RUSSIA is STARVING
OF SOVIET CRAZE

New York, Feb. PA des:rip-
ton of apparently serious conditions
| in Russia under the Bolsheviki ad-
ministration as taken from soviet
newspapers and other documents is
given in a statement issued here by
A. ]. Sack, director of the Russian
information bureau in the United
States. The official Bolsheviki organ
Izvestia of December 20, last, con-
tains the text of speech by Trotzky
before the eighth congress of sovi-
cts, in which he declared:
cat present about $4,000 versts
(36,O miles) of Russian railroads
are destroyed so that only the CEN
tral part, about $4,000 versts re-
main intact. Three thousand bridges
and $4,000 telephone and telegraph
lines have also been destroyed and
we have about 81 per cent of sick
locomotives"
The recently appointed commits
sary of means Of communication.
Yemshanov, speaking on the same
subject, said:
"Out of a total Of $4,000 tele-
phones along the railroad lines Of
Russia, $4,000 require major re-
pairs. The electric signal apparatus
must be completely overhauled. The
upper part of the road beds is in
catastrophe condition. The repair
shops are mostly in ruins and their
machinery has been denuded of i'm
portant parts"
/ 10000, 900 Peasants Starving
The statement says not less than
100000 peasants are starving
this winter along the Volga region
and in other provinces of central
Russia.
The Economicheskala Zhizn, Geo.
nomic Life) says that "news is al
ready beginning to reach US from
the central provinces of famine hav'
ing set in among the people and
about the wholesale determination
of cattle for lack of fodder"
A Bolsheviki conmissary, Bogus
lavksky, writing in the official Prav'
, da, says:
"The working men are without
, footwear, rubbers and even without
as much as a needle. Truly, they
are living much worse than they die
before. We are bound to admit that
the soviet power has failed to do fol
them the most indispensable things
The statement declares that popu'
lar revolts against Bolshevik rule
are taking place. An anti-Bolshevlk'
Gin green" army, composed mostly
of peasants is reported to be op'
Grating in Southern Russia. The re.
volts against Bolsheviki power, the
statement adds, are being suppress
ed with the utmost cruelty. A pro-
clamation issued by an "extraordi-
nary commission" in Southern Rus
sia threatens that all risings against
the Bolsheviki will be suppressed
with severity and declares that all
those aiding or concealing members
of "white" or "green" armies will
be shot and their property confis-
Gated.

THE TREE AND IT'S FRUITS

Unreasonable exactions forced the
invention of the one-man street CIR,
cutting thousands of motormen out Of
Wartime wage demands of building
trades force the invention of ready cut
machine made dwellings, shipped
ready to set up.
Strikes of longshoremen accelerate
mhcainery for loading and unloading
ships, and seamen's union dectation
force 3-man power ships.
The SO and A hour week and con-
slant demand for even higher than war
wages are killing newspapers and
abolishing use of job printing.
The multiplication of unreasonable
demands puts a premium on the in
ventive genius of a nation naturally
inclined to inventions.
The tree of professional protiteering
bears its fruit in rendering millions
idle who at fair wages would be en-
ployed.

TOO MANY MIDDLEMEN

In many instnces producers are re-
ceiving less for their products than be-
fore the war. Take for example pork
mutton, beef, cereals butter, eggs,
wool and cotton the price of when to
the producer is in most cases less than
the pre-war period.
Why then has there not occurred a
corresponding reduction in price to the
consumer?
There is but one reason and answer
between the producer and consumer
there are too many middlemen, too
many rehandlings with cost for each
rehandling and profits for each re-
handler pyramided and added into
the price to the consumer.
The situation is further aggravated
by the increase in price made by each
dealer as the commodity passes from
one to another on it's circuitOus pill
grimage to the consumer the cost and
profits assessed in each instance usu-
ally being excessive.
OF the price paid by consumers but
small part goes to the producer. Most
OF the cost Of the article Is gobbled up
by commission men. brokers, jobbers,
wholesalers, peddlers and what nots.
Brokers. commission dealers and job
bers, TO cover their trail, attempt 10
blame it on railroad rates.
But on an orange, lemon, head Of
lettuce, pound of pork. beef, mutton,
asparagus, butter dozen Of eggs, box
of berries, where at most the freight
charges rarely amount to one cent, the
spread in the price between producer
and consumer makes it very clear that
the cause Of low prices to the producer
and high to the consumer is not freight
rates.
Instance the retail price of these com
modities in Pacific coast markets right
where they are grown and on much of
which there is no rail haul and there
fore no freight charges by the rail-
roads as compared with the retail
price in Chicago and New York after
rail haul Of several thousand miles.
Strange isn't it that the price is the
same. In other words, "sun kissed"
California orange retails at five cents
in New York after a rail haul of four
thousand miles.
There remains no doubt that failure
to adjust and coordinate our merchan-
dising system, resulting in too many
excessive and unnecessary
costs and profits, with consequent
pyramided cost to the consumer, Is
largely responsible for inability of pro-
ducers 10 sell at fair margin of profit
as we'll as for the inability of consum-
ers To buy at a fair price.
OF course Industrial depression In
cident to war has lessoned greatly the
common buying power of the people. a
result bound to adversely affect pro-
ducers regardless of costs or prices !
but the great trouble is too many mid |
dlemen and too much profiteering.

FARM INSURANCE
UNPROFITABLE

It is not generally understood that
insurance on farm property, buildings
etc. is carried by the big fire insur
ance companies at a loss.
The companies carry the farm bust !.
ness as part of their overhead in their
general service to the public.
The profit however, must come from
other lines of business.
If farm insurance were rated in ac-
cordance with the risk involved, the
burden would he too great for the aver
age farm property to carry lnasmuch
as the growth of the cities and towns
depends on prosperous farming COM
munity. the insurance companies, In
making rates for farm property, equal
ize the risk between the cities with
fire protection and the out
lying farm house with no protection.
Thus is the farmer benefited and also
the neigbboring cities and towns by
the protection afforded the farmers
which enables him to develop and i'm
prove the surrounding country.

A GUARDIANS DUTY

Contrary to a too general opinion,
banks can not loan an unending stream
of money.
The bank is really the guardian OF
the liquid wealth of any community.
The bank must see that this money is
available at the call of its depositors.
If the average business firm would
watch its collections and credits as
closely as the banks have to- financial
disasters would be of infrequent oc-
curance.
The we'll managed bank today is in
the nature of an educational institution
furnishing its experience and advice
