RAPS HAYS FOR FAILURE
TO KICK OUT DEMOCRATS
Representative b Williams, in House,

"Prince of Mugwumps."

Will H. Hays. until today Post
master General, was facetiously CEN

Representative Fairfield of Indiana.

who had made possible their big ma.
life. p.
Referring to himself as s.an old-line
republican representing a rock-rlbbed
republican rep, district in Illinois. Mr..
Williams declared that Mr.. Hays, "en-
tering the cabinet as one of its most
popular members, is quitting today
by unanimous consent"
This" Mr.. Williams continued, "is
because in the minds Of republicans
ne Is today the prince Of mugwumps
They may be wrong. Mr.. Hays may
be the greatest Postmaster General the
country has ever seen, but the cold
fact remains that the great army of
loyal republicans who carried the last
election does not view him in that
light.
They feel under everlasting obli-
cation to the movies for the great
service they have rendered the re-
publican party
1.-THE people know this-that when
the democratic party came into power
in 1913 every republican postmaster
and official was kicked out and a
good democrat put in his place. The
people approved that. No republican
complains about it, because it was
the natural and proper thing to do.
Republicans remember the great
housecleaning in 1913, and they don't
understand why it is almost impos-
sible to get a democrat out of an
Office he holds simply because he is
a democrat.
''1t may be Mr.. Hays is not re-
sponsible for this situation. but in
the mind of republicans he is looked
upon as the guilty person and for
that reason his retirement is univer-
sally popular and satisfactory"
Mr.. Williams recited an original
poem entitled "The Burial Of Sir Will
Hays"

had to go to school only part time

"One of our neighbors, with a
wife and three little boys. is on
an eighty-acre farm, and though
both man and wife have worked
hard on the farm they could not
get enough from their crops last
year to pay their taxes"
Mrs. Radick, who lives on
half-section farm, asserted:
1T costs us 72 cents to produce
a bushel of oats, and oats are
now bringing 80 cents a bushel.
We have to pay 10 per cent for
money at the banks, and have not
come out even for the last two
years. We lost s1.700 on two car
loads of cattle in May, 1920. and
many of our neighbor stockmen
took similar losses. Twelve farms
in our one township have been
advertised for delinquent taxes,
which in one case amounts with
penalty to over 5000. We had to
sell our liberty bonds to pay our
taxes after these bonds had been
driven down ten or fifteen points"

CUT COAL PROFITS,

Is Urged.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Cheaper an
thracite coal for the. public. to be
made possible by slashing the profits
of the mine owner rather than by re-
ducing the laborers' wages. is advo-
Gated by the United Mine Workers of
America in a statement issued here
today.
Mine owners freely admit that the
cost Of coal to the consumer is too
high" declares the statement. "The
remedy they suggest, as a prelim-
mary to the opening of new negotia-
tions for a working agreement with
the workers, is a reduction in the
cost Of digging the coal-the miners
wage-which is placed by the oper-
ators at $3.S2 a ton"
The mine workers indicate that
lower labor costs will represent a
bare living wage" whereas they in
sist upon "a saving wage commen-
surate with the hazards of the indus
try
Coal Up to $16 a Ton.
Goal sells at New York, Philadel-
phia and in other large cities at
prices ranging up to SIS a ton, which
represents the operators own profits,
profits of the railroads, profits of the
coal sales companies, the royalty
takers and distributing agents." the
statement sets forth.
The operators skillfully avoid any
reference to a reduction of a sub
stantial nature in the matter of their
own profits" 1t continues 1T is,
therefore, obvious that there must
be some connection between the
operators and all those who handle
consumers, and, of course, from an
interested standpoint, the operators
can see def1ation so far as the miners
are concerned and continuation of
the earnings of operators, railroads,
sales companies and others"
Quote Commission Award.
. In support of their argument, the
United Mine Workers quote the fol-
lowing passage from the anthracite
coal commissions award, which is
the basis for the present working
agreement between the miners and
operators:
"The commission declines to COM
nit itself to an award which could
justly be considered as an encourage
ment to the so-called vicious spiral
in prices. This award, while pro-
viding improved conditions for the
employees, offers no justification for
any advance in retail prices of coal,
but, on the other hand, Is consistent
with a decline in prices. The award
has not passed a great burden along
to the consumer of coal"
Despite this attitude by the COM
mission" the statement says, mot
only was there no decline In coal
prices, but the recent statement of
the general policies committee of the
operators declares that the in
crease granted by the commission
was reflected in the increasing mine
prices of domestic sizes of anthra-
