The theatrical season will make a
good beginning in New York, as it will
see Fritz Leiber in his annual engage
ment at the Lexington Theater, where
last year he astOnished the critics by
the wonder of his performances and
the public by the POPULARITY of the sea-

supporting casts ever gotten together
for a Shakespearean season, will pre-
sent seven or eight of the most popular
plays by the Bard of Avon, ranging
from Julius Caesar, Macbeth and Rich
ard III to Romeo and Juliet and The
Tanning of the Shrew. This is now the
foremost permanent Shakespearean
repertoire company of the country.

COMMITTEE IS INFORMED
OF LARGE COAL PROFITS
Additional Estimates for 1920
Placed Before Senators at
Calder Bill Hearing.


More estimated records of large
profits made by coal mining COM
panies in 1920 were placed today be-
fore the Senate committee consider
ing the Calder coal regulation bill.
Chairman LaFollette renewed his
ruling under which identity Of indi-
vidual corporations was not disclosed
for the time being, but declared that
the committee had not decided finally
on the point. In his view. he said.
there should be no secrecy regard
ing the matter. for the public is en-
titled to know the names OF operators
and their profits"
Largest Of the percentage profits
estimated by David L. Wing, federal
trade commission statistician, who
gave the figures, went to operating
companies in the Pocahontas field,
w. Va, several exceeding 100 per
cent. A central Pennsylvania producer,
on a capital Of $2,25O,G00, had a net
income OF $685., 900 for nine months Of
1920, Mr.. Wing said, while another
given, cleared up $239, 900 on $453,000
capital In the same period.
A largsr concern, valued at $4,000
900. produced 1.687,000 tons Of coal,
and nettsd profits at the rate OF 20
per cent.
Several smaller corporations showed
losses in 1919, the witness said. and
one 1920 profit was as low as As per
cent. Estimates as to profits Of fifty
one corporations were put into the
record from figures taken from the
National Coal Association offices by
the Calder committee some months
ago.

RESIST WAGE REDUCTION
UNTIL LIVING COST DROPS
Representatives Of $4,000 Local
Union Labor Men, in Council,
Announce "Unified Stand"


Representatives Of $4,000 local
union labor men, at a meeting OF the
Business Representatives Council at
sos 5th street yesterday. decided to
decline any reduction OF wages until
a substantial drop in living costs hao
been made.
Twenty-seven organizations are rep
resented through their business
agents in the council. An omciai
statement of record adopted as the
stand of the organization follows:
Since many organizations pe1ore
the war were receiving a wage Tar
below normal, and since the war mas
brought wages to a standard when
should have been in vogue during the
normal period preceding the war the
council feels that it's members wouio
not be justified in advocating the re-
ception of any reduction in wages
whatever.
although living costs in some
staples have decreased slightly. the
price OF fuel. light, rent and street
car transportation has risen to sucn
an extent to Offset any slight reduction
in the staples.
The delegates to this council are
instructed to notify their various or,
carnations Of the unified stano
against decreases in wages taken oS
the council"

Complaint of Commuters
= as Uniustified.

Complaint Of the Washington. Balti-
z moro and Annapolis Commuters Club
Of Seabrook, Nd. against alleged ex-
cessive fares on the lines of the
=, Washington. Baltimore and Annapolis
Railroad Company was held unjust
In a tentative report made today by
Examiner Warren H. Wagner of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr..
Wagner recommends that the COM
omission should find that the fares as
sailed by the commuters club are mot
unreasonable or otherwise unlawful
and recommends that the complaint
be dismissed.
In the report to the commission. Mr..
Wagner points out that the road has
consistently paid per cent or more
in dividends on all stock since 1917.
In 1919 it paid 71a per cent. He finds,
however, that the revenue from Camp
Meade. Md, due to enlargement OF
the governments activities during
the war, has rapidly decreased since
the war.
Made Revenues slump.
A table submitted by the road to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
showing net earnings on transporta-
ton of passengers to Camp Meade pur-
ports to show that revenues from that
source have dropped from ss74.61s.51,
in 1918, to slightly more than $780,
900 in 1920.
Continuing his reason why the road
should be entitled to the rate increase
granted lash summer. Mr. Wagner re-
ports that the employees of the WASH
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis have
not received any of the benefits OF
the wage adjustment put into erect
on the steam railroads. Its wage
contract expired in January, 1921, the
report says. and it anticipated that
an increase in wages will have to be
made.
