company during 1920 as put before the
senate committee considering the Cald-
cr coal regulation bill were extensivel,

by Senator Reed Democrat, Of Missouri.
david l.. Wing, federal trade com

returns Of 81 companies from figures
taken from the national Coal Associa-
ton offices. These showed that one or
TWO companies had cleared above 200
per cent last year, and only one as lit
tie as four per cent on its stated cap
ital. Higher returns were reported In
the case Of corporations in the Poca-
ontas field OF West Virginia, while one
IN central Pennsylvania earned % Der

Senator Reed pointed out that 9TH
