ate or SO as to show the company operating at a loss in order that wages of miners may be maintained at the olWcSt conceivable level. These financing methods of bankers and the seven railroad systems alone resulted in $500, 900, 900 of fictitious or unncces- sary securities on the basis of which the coal industry is mulcted for $2o,- GOO, GOO in dividends annually.
 Suppression of these facts was the purpose of the injunction against the Federal Trade Commission which was recently obtained by the mine own CTS.
 The efforts of the constructvie forces in our government to obtain dissemination of the truth about the coal industry through the publication of the production and profits in coal have come to naught.
 So long as purely financial inter ests control the operating policy in any industry, that policy is certain to be destructive, because human needs are overlooked in the race for a bal ance sheet showing. That is one vital defect in the coal industry, per haps the chief factor in the fixing of the ruthless policy which has brought about the crisis which is inn pending.

 Public order in Mexico has been better than at any time in the last hall-ccntury. Some may say public order was better when Diaz ruled. Maybe 1t Was as good or the surface. But today 1t is better all through, because there is no suppressed, en- shaved spirit under the surface. There Is freedom oi which Mexico may be proud, public consciousness that is growing constantly and determina- ton to overcome obstacles that is in spring.
 1t is fact that American oil in tercstS, through q host of rctaincrS, have sought to shape the intcrnation- al relations between the United States and Mexico.

A. F. of l.. Head De-
 clares Both Branches of Business Are Con-
 trOlled By Grasping: Financial Interests.
By SAMUEL GOMPERS.

Both bituninous and anthracite mining operations are controlled by financial interests which are respon- sible for the autocratic attitude now being manifested by the mine man agement and the policy of forcing a coal strike in their attempt to destroy the unions.
 All economic, national and human interests must give way to profits un- der the domination of purely hnan- Cia1 interests.
 Before we can hope for a sound solution of the problems in the coal mining industry the control must be taken out of the hands of these fnan- cial interests. What now is happen ing in the mining industry happened a decade ago in the railroad industry. The chaos in each is traceable to the same source.
 The facts of this financial domina- tion were presented to the House of Representatives in February, IQ2I At that time 1t was proved that file following companies in the bitumin- ous field were controlled by purely financial interests:
 Norfolk & Western R. R. Go.
 Western Maryland R. R. Go.
 Berwino-White Coal Mining.
 Penn Coal & Coke Corporation.
 Maryland Coal Go. of West Vir- ginia.
 Pittsburgh Coal Co.,
 Rocky Mt. Fuel Co.
 Chesapeake & Ohio.
 Virginia Ky.
 The financial statement of the first of these, the Norfolk & Western, was made public this week, for the year ending December 3I, 1921. Its net income was $Io,o43,18', equivalent after preferred dividends of $7.5o a share.
 The Pocahontas Coal x Coke Co., is the principal subsidiary controlled by the Norfolk & Western. The profits of the operation of this com pany were used for the purpose of retiring more than $4,ooo,ooo worth of bonds. The high freight rates charged for the transportation of this coal over the lines of the Norfolk X Western are responsible for the prof its to the railroad company and for

eutly the chief offenders are above the law. 50 far, however, the govern lnent has been able 10 prevent in- creases in the price of coal. 1t is ad~ mittcdly the policy oi the coal in tcrt,te to maintain the lockout until their supply of coal has been sold, and it has been their expectation to sell this surplus coal at a big profit. The government as well as some Oi the operators realize the danger of such a policy because of its probable effect on the public.
 Coal Business Graft Ridden; Many
 Palms, None i'll Operation.
 Washington is full of plans for settling coal strikes. Some of these would frankly recognize the control by Wall Street and attempt to control the mines through these financial in terests. Most of the plans are not based upon sound information, prin- cipally because there IS no sound in formation about the coal industry. Congressman Nolan would remedy this through a commission whose purpose would be to obtain the neccs- Sary inlOrmatiOn.
 Any attempt at obtaining infOrma- tio nabout the actual condition of the coal industry has been fought Dy the coal operators and especially by the financial interests who are rcapin2 such extraordinary profits through the present method of proht-taking. The chief weapon of the monopoly ol capital is the unrcgulated control of the coal supply. This unregulated control can best be maintained by discouraging actual knowledge of the facts. The coal industry is reeking with graft

apples, sprinkle with little flour and sugar, a sprinkling of salt and paprika and add a little water from time to time, as needed. Stir and cook until well blended. Serve around pork chops or steak.
 Fried Appes.-This dish will take large firm apple which does not lose it's shape when cooking Wash the apples and core them, then slice in rather thick slices and cook in bacon or salt pork fat until well Drowned on both sides. Sprinkle while cooking with a very little salt and bit of sugar. Serve in overlapping slices around pork chops, or sausages.
 Those who have been forehanded in sowing some mustard seed will have the best of greens to cook or to serve with fresh lettuce. The green mus tard cut in bits and added to potato salad is especially appetizing. In fact added to almost any vegetable com bination, it is fine.
 Baked Bananas.-RemOve the peel from half a dozen bananas; scrape them to remove all coarse threads, and lay in a well-buttered baking dish. Crate the rind of an orange and half a lemon; mix together with the juice of each and three-fOurths of cupful of sugar. Pour over the bananas, dot with two tablespoonfuls of butter and bake until the bananas are tender, Unripe bananas are best for this dish, as they keep their shape when cooked.
 Spiced Carrots.-Cook until tender, very young carrots; sprinkle with flour, powdered clove, butter, lemon juice; reheat and serve with minced parsley.
 Flemish Apples With Onicns-Slice thinly unpeeled apples; sprinkle with flour; add bits of butter and sugar, and place in layers in a baking dish, using buttered crumbs on each layer with few thinly-sliced onions. Bake until we'll cooked.

 Similar conditions exist in all other combinations of coal and railroad in terests.
 U. s. Steel Example in Biturninous
 Field.
 United States Steel Corporation, operated purely for financial returns on a policy dictated by financial ex- pediency, or what seems to be eX- pediency, controls vast bituminous coal interests. Steel interests in Ala bama control vast bituminous coal properteis in that state. Coal mines operated by such concerns are oper- ated as wheels in great profit mak- ing machine and it is impossible for practical coal management to have any effective voice in the making of policies.
 The hearings before the Commit tee on Manufactures of the U. $. Sen ate in 1921 on the question of the publication of the production and railroads control 90 per cent of the S., 90 per cent. of this is by owner ship and 6 per cent by contraat These railroads are: Reading Co.,; Delaware, I-ackawanna & Western R. R; Lehigh Valley R. R.; Erie inter ests; Delaware & Hudson Co.,; Penn sylvania R. R.; New York, Ontario & Western R. R.; and Lehigh Coal & Navigation Co.
 In this manner the financial inter csts of Wall Street camouhage their ownership of the coal industry The profits from the operations in the the report of the coal mines them selves, but in the dividend reports oi the railroads.

 Reports for the year ending Io2I show that these companies made ex- Orbitant profits. The Delaware LaCkawanna and Western Co., de clared a stock dividend in August of 100 per cent. It paid $II.32 a share dividends on this watered stock Its net earnings for the year were $I0,- OOO, ,OOO. Its coal holdings made this possible!
 The Delaware x Hudson Co.'S sur plus of $2,0Oo,ooo came from coal holdings. The railroads with coal holdings acquired exorbitant profits in comparison with the average incoE1c of railroads in the United States.

The third corporation is the coal sales company, which does not handle any coal but acts as a broker or middleman, When the householder buys a ton of coal he pays five profits in addition to the wages of the coal miner. The first goes to the mining corporation, the second to the coal sales company, the third to the broker, the fourth to the railroad, and the fifth to the retailer.

How to Really Save
On Cost of P Painting

u IRST, find out what good
l. paint is, for that is where you
start to save on paint. We spend
more to make paint for your econ
omy as follows:
We use only the best materials
in Fuller's Specification House
Paints - PIONEER WHITE
LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and
finest colors.
We super-purify the lead in a
special purifier. Then we make
the lead SO fine that it will pass
through a silk screen with 10000
meshes to the square inch.
The whittier" lead means clearer
toned colors. The extreme fineness
means better mixing quality,
greater covering capacity, more
ease in spreading - paint that's
always uniform and smooth.
Such paints when applied form
a beautiful elastic, tough, protec-
tive coat that stays. They are
known as "Fuller's Specification
House Paints"
