But it may pass the final test:
And should il break, no man can

II was my hand that made II so.
The thing is faulty. but perhaps

The dead man, and the tortured wife
Doomed TO a cripple's chair for

COLLECTING TRIBUTE.

The president has two bills passed by congress
which designed, at least 20 labelled to
prevent proateering in the prices of coal
If there is any place which the public
should take united stand IT is against the paying
of extortionate prices for coal this winter.
There is but one reason for raising prices and
that is the senseless and useless quarrel waged be-
tween the operators ana the miners during the
summer months
The cost the striking miners in lost wages
amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars but the
rubnc has already paid twenty times as much
n the disturbance 20 their business.
When the strike was settled on terms and con-
ditions that might have been easily agreed upon
before any strike occurred no increase in wages
was given.
The cost of mining and delivering coal to the con-
sumner this year is than it was year ago
and yet there prevails all the country sched-
ue prices that far in excess OF last years price
In many communities where the listed price
but little above that Of 1921 the citizen who is
facing winter with empty coal bin finds that he
can get no supply unless he pays premium for
MS needs
Last week there ten millions Of tons Of coal
mined in this country, an indication that there
should be an ample supply for all purposes.
The one big protest against the extortion of high
prices is being made by Henry Ford when he fatty
refuses to pay the tribute demanded by those who
control the output in order to remimburse them
selves for the profits lost during the shut down
