United States shipping board, are the
amounts paid for the transportation OF

siderable service and last year only
four mail routes were maintained I'm
der its provisions. All told, during the
past fiscal year the expenditures under

postal subsidy law, amounted to only

Reserves of Coal
Jump in October.
Production Below 1920
Figure But Exceeds
Consumption.

WASHINGTON-The Geological
Survey states that the rate of output
of soft coal is now higher than in
1918 and 1921, and of course much
higher than in 1919 when at the cor
responding perior the great strike of
that year had begun; but the present
rate is lower than ait the same time
in 1920.
A canvass of commercial and indus
trial stocks of bituninous coal as of
September and October l, undertak-
en- comparatively by the Bureau of the
Census and the Geological Survey, has
shown that at the rate of production
during the month of September con-
sumers were able to add about 5000,
900 tons to their stocks. During Octo-
Der at least as much more was added
to reserve piles.

sumptions as the most desirable of
cuts when the public dares to protest
against rising meat prices.
A line up of Armour and Morris
would give them dominant position
over Swift, Wilson and Cudahy.
While the capitalization of Armour
and Morris foots up to only $780,
703,400 and Swift, Wilson and Cudahy
combination has capital OF $204, 1885,
600, the assets of the former are given
as $571 ,941,5l3, whereas the assets of
poor Swift, Wilson and Cudahy are
only $525, 765,944, scarcely enough to
struggle along with.
1t must be a great hardship to be
in the packing industry. Poor Swift,
it will be recalled in 1919, told the
world there was loss of 20 cents on
every head of cattle he handled If
the farmers had produced more ami
mails, no one knows what would have
happened
In 1921, however, live cattle cost
$67.53, proceeds from beef were $75.32,
the returns from by products were
S8.51, but even then there was only a
profit of $l13 on each animal. Just
by what system of hocus pocus meat
profits continuously decline, meat con-
sumption continuously increases and
meat supply invariably is adequate,
and yet meat prices are perpetually
tilted skyward does not appear
Evidently if all the figures are true,
another merger will mean the public
will have nothing to eat but cows
horns at S. pound, and the unfor-
tunate packers will be starving to
death in the streets of Chicago.
The farmer, Of course, will be de-
lighted with the proposed merger. 1t
will mean that the closer combine will
voluntarily offer him more for beef on
the hoof-mebbe.

Armour Swoops Down

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Persons
who have listened to the woes of the
poor meat packers nearly broke their
jaws laughing when J. Ogden Armour
swooped down on the capital accom-
panied by counsel and experts, load
ed with books and papers, to lay

a view of getting ruling in favor of
a great meat merger representing as

just how the meat barons propose

persistent insistence that the more
business they do the less profit they
make, has not been disclosed 1t is
known, however that the first stage
of the battle for. supremacy is pro-
posed merger of Armour Co. and
Morris & Co. Indeed, report has it
that even a closer combine is pro-
jected if the proposition can be put
over with Attorney General Daugh-
