Watson -Heflin Friendship
 .OH for Moment at Least

be based not on what Newberry had done or failed to do. but on the fact that there seemed to exist a friend ship between Ford and ex-President Wilson In which the League of Ma tions was involved. In course sof his remarks he declared that were Henry Ford connected with Wall street he would be thunder and lightning for the senator from Alabama" Senator Heflin interrupted but failed to elim- mate the confident and satirical smile which decorated the face of tho Georgian.
 But as if to make his position plain. MT. Heflin, as soon as Mir. Watson had taken his seat, proceeded against Newberry. His attack was couched in the bitterest vituperative language and his statements in the main were sensational. Of course his speech had no effect. He did not convince Sena- tor Watson. The other democrats were already convinced. And the only republicans who heard him were Sem ator Spencer, leading the pro- New berry fight. and Senator McCumber The latter, during the most sensa- tional part of the Heflin speech, dic- tated private mall to stenograplter. The republicans have determined to keep Newberry in possession of his seat.

 The accident occurred in Bessemer at Tenth avenue and Twenty-fourth street and the injured man died later at the Elizabeth Duncan hospital, where he was carried.
 The car that struck him was driv- en, 1t is alleged. by Marcus Hitch cock of Woodward, a youth of IT years, son of Mir. and Mrs. Robert Hitchcock. who was arrested later last night at his home. Bond was made immediately.
 Funeral services for Mr. Waites will be held Tuesday afternoon at the residence at 4213 Main street, Brigh- ton, at o'clock, the Woodmen of the World officiating. Interment will we do not wish to lower our stand ard and do not believe the public wants poor coal. coal that is not properly prepared.
 We sell Cedrom nut, good for fur mace and stove, at s6. This costs us ss at the mine and we pay a freight of s1.06.

 'The wages paid at mines are those of the Garfield agreement. Our overhead goes on just the same whether we do a small business or a large one. If we have cold weather the remainder of the year. we may make some money. If we do not, we will not make any. There is no way sumer any cheaper under present conditions" ~E
 Quoting Rushton
 J. Frank Rushton. local dealer, saidi
 "I am not familiar with the de- tails of the coal end of our business, the Birmingham Ice and Cold Storage company, but I do know the balance sheets. They show that we made . net profit only during the months of January, February and March of this year and that up to the present time we have incurred q net loss for tke year. We lost money in August, Sep- tember and October.
 ITO make profit on a gross margin of s3 at this time the retailer must do a large volume of business If we do that we will make some money during the remainder of the year. If we do not materially increase our volume of business we will not make money.
 Wages Are High
 I remember the time when we could and did make money on a gross margin of $1.50 ton, but that time has passed. The wages at mines are very much higher, the freight is higher. feed and labor at yards and on wagons are s2 higher It Is more difficult to come out on the present margin than 1t was on smaller ones before the war.
 "I see no chance for cheaper coal to the consumer under present freight rates, wages at mines and the higher cost of operating retail coal yards"
