Herrin, H., June 21.-Darknesa
tonight compelled cessation of hosti-
lities between striking union. miners
and empoyes of the Southern Illinois
Coal Company strip mine near here
after hours of fighting in which thous-
ands of shots were exchanged. One
union miner is known to have been
killed but these figures could not be
verified because of the confusion at
the camp.
Two union miners were wounded
seriously and about six others were
wounded slightly, three mine guards
were reported wounded seriously
Thousands of persons many armed,
were rushing to the camp tonight
and the confusion made 1t impos-
sible to check up the casualties re-
ported suffered by the Southern Illi-
nois Company's employees
The exact number of casualties
in the fight cannot be determined on
account of the inaccessibiIty to the
scene of trouble. The body Of
one union miner has been brought to
a local hospital and two other men
believed to be sympathizers were
brought to hospital here where it
is said one of them is not expected to
live.
One report was to the effect that
Ia or 15 bodies Of the non-union men
were laying in the pit of the surface
mine where hey had barricaded
themselves and exchanged numerous
shots with the attacking miners who,
with sympathizers and curiosity
seekers, were said to total nearly l.
500.
Jordon Henderson, about 45 years
old, striking union miner, was shot
in the head and killed. His body was
brought here by unidentifie persons.
The wounded men are Joe Pitchovie,
Lithuanian who is seriously iniur-
ed, and Jane sMorris, believed to be
union miners from Union City, near
here.
Reports stated both sides ad run
up the white flag and that negotia-
tons were being exchanged for a
truce. 1t was also reported officials
of the Southern Illinois Coal Co.,
have agreed to close the mines as
result of the fighting and hat the
non-union men would depart. The
union miners attacket the camp, 1t
was said, where about 100 non-union
men, imported from Chicago, have
been working the mine since last
week.
Shortly before the shooting began
here late today, three of ten men en-
route here to work in the strip mine
are known to have been shot just
outside Carbondale. One of the
ten escaped injury and the other six
swan a creek and were fired on.
They have not been accounted for
Charles Boyd, he man who escaped,
declared they had been fired upon
by at least rs men.
The scene of the rioting resembled
vertiable battlefield The strip
mine, being q surface co,iery, en-
abled the employees to entrench them
selves behind the piles Of coal on
the ground waiting to be loaded on
cars.
The striking miners, said to mum
ber more than 1000, surrounded the
camp, shooting from all sides and
open warfare was conducted for sew
eral hours. The bullets spat with
machine gun regularity. The trou-
BILE followed an indignation meeting
held near here today following pub
licat;on by JOHN M. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, that
the men working at the strip mine
as shovelers and who were members
of the union, were common strike
breakers"

the first place. It Is astounding how much ignorance there is relative 10 the profits of business. The lay mind assumes that the margin between the original cost and the ultimate selling price is profit. The part that oper- ating costs and overhead expenses play in wiping out this margin gets scant consideration.
 When a business pays d dollar for raw material and sells the finished product for $2.0o, the layman says there is a dollar profit. but as often as not such margin between cost and price means a loss, It may cost considerable to turn the raw product into the finished article since the la- bor involved and the equipment used may be a very big expense On top of that there will be storage charges and freight bills and sales costs There are dozen charges that enter in and conspire to wipe out the mar gin, and not the least of these is rep resented by the tax that the business pays.
 The sum tottal of all its opera ting and overhead charges may easily wipe out what appears to be a wide margin between raw product costs and finished article prices. Men work for livelihood and capital works for interest. and there always will be room for difference of opinion as to what constitutes a good liveli- hood and good interest, but there need be no question about this fact neither men nor money will work without return. This problem of wage earner and employer then, Is not to divide profits but to assure profits, for certainly they must be made be- fore they can be divided Dividing them is mighty easy job alongside of making them.
 Reasonable Men Agree.
 Everybody has right to opinions as to the cure for industrial ills. and the business with which am con- nected is now engaged in trying out a plan which holds forth greater promise. It is not designed to bring about the millennium; neither does it promise to give workers high wages and employers high profits It is founded on knowledge that the busi- ness must prosper if either employe

Auto Tub Sales
Increased in. 1921
Statistics Show Inner Tubes
Are in Greater Demand
This Year.
10y Harris 4 Ewing.

The motoring public of the United
States in 1921 bought American
made automobile tubes in the ratio
OF one tube to every one and one
quarter castings. The export mar
kets Of the world received Ameri-
can-made tubes for the same period
in a much smaller proportion-one-
half tube to every casing. which
means they made use of their ma
tive tubes to a greater degree than
they did native-made castings.
The Miller Rubber Company in
statistics recently compiled at their
offices. show that the rubber in
dustry is selling even more tubes
this year than last, both In the
domestic and export fields. A tube
and a half to every casing sold is
the record for the first five months
this year in this country. and three
fifths of a tube to every casing sold

a complete investigation into this

hands of the association also have
been forwarded to Senator La Fol-
lette, Of Wisconsin. and Senator Nc

called for an Investigation In the
United States Senate.
Prices of gasoline at the service
station have risen a minimum of
2 to a maximum Of cents, the as

equally sharp increases the fol-
lowing months. In only one city

to a statement Of c. A. vane, gen.
eral manager, of the dealers associa-
ton, Recent press dispatches i'm
dicate that the oil men are in gen.
eral accord on suggestions that
gasoline should be 2 or cents
higher. They are basing these as
sertions upon claims that produc-
ton costs have increased to such
an extent that they are no longer
able to manufacture prohtably.
Twenty Per Cent Increase.
Gasoline prices for July, 1921,
averaged about 22.25 cents for the
country as against 26.45 cents for
July this year. This is nearly q
20 per cent increase. The manufac-
turers of Automobiles on the other
hand have steadily lowered the cost
of their product to their consumers
and It appears on the surface that
there must be something funda-
mentally wrong with the oil indus

tion costs to fit general condition,

duced its costs similarly.

The younger, though manifestly of
the same opinion. maintained si-

After having rendered whatever
assistance was possible the motor
lists started on the last leg of the
journey to the popular Virginia
summer resort. Gravel roads were
now encountered and despite the
recent rains these have been main
tanned in excellent condition. No
where were there evidences of any
washouts, nor was there a sign of
damage done to the surface or body
of the highways.
Arrive Mt Beach.
Colonial Beach was reached in
record time, but slightly over four
hours being expended in making
the journey of slightly over 100
miles. Here the party was i'm
pressed with the many evidences of
the popularity of the resort. for
hundreds were splashing about IN
the cool salt water. The high
water mark of summer visitors,
which Is always reached durinS
July, was manifested. for the board
walk was literally crowded with
vacationists who had left cares be-
hind and were enjoying the recrea-
tions that are offered one at the
Potomac River beach. Long
stretches of sandy shore are there
to lure the bather. while the con-
cessiOnists along the roadways vend
all sorts of souvenirs.
Following a plunge the party
went to the Colonial Beach Hotel.
which is managed by J. b. Black
stone, where an excellent dinner
was enjoyed. The hotel, situated on
a slight hill. commands an excellent
view Of the entire beach, and the
spacious veranda, extending across
its entire frontage. is ever swept
by the cooling saltwater breezes.
When dinner had been finished
the motorists were astounded by the
coming of sudden squall that
seemed literally to come from no
where" The sky darkened omi-
nously, thunder rolled in a fright
ening fashion and great forked
flashes of lightning streaked
athwart the skies. The wind. which
had been blowing but gently, rose
to wall. whipping the trees with
vicious lashing. Great old elms
that had withstood the travail of
many years bowed meekly before
the onslaught of the gale, for the
velocity of the wind had soon be-
come a gale. Rain fell in torrential
fury, flooding the roadways and
drenching hapless folks who were
tardy in seeking cover.
As quickly as 1t had burst. the
storm passed away and the sun
came out with seemingly new
brilliance. As soon as the weather
had cleared the party started on the
return trip. fearful that delays were
to be expected because of the rain
on the roadways. However. their
fears were unfounded. for astonish-
ing as ii may seem, no damage had
been done and the little bort per-
| formed in the same efficient manner
as IL had employed on the trip
down.
