OWES LIFE TO FREAK HEART
Students Organ Out of Place-Bullet
 Pierces Proper Location.

Charleston, w. Va, May S.-New- man Neff, student, owes his life tc an anatomical freak. He was shot through the chest where his heart ought to be- At kanawha Valley hos pital here an X-ray photograph of hil chest was made.
 , "The photograph revealed Neff's heart to be located vertically" said Dr. George A. Mcqueen, chief sur geon. Tt leans slightly to the right of his breast. If his heart had been located where hearts are usually found, Neff would have died instant ly."
 As Neff, with Lester Mollohan and two girls, was automobiling in the suburbs a volley of shots was fired at them. A gancing bullet hit one of the girls. When Neff rushed to her side another shot was fired and he fell to the ground.
 Disgruntled miners or illicit distil- lers did the shooting, authorities think. Surgeons decided an operation now might prove fatal and that the bullet would probably, not cause fur ther trouble if left where it is.

find that in order to be sure of having an ample supply they would have to lay in stocks. The coal operators would have to settle by competition who should have the miners and the business, upon the condition that the mines were oper- ated all the year round, and the natural solution would be that the most available and easily-worked coal deposits would be worked first. If the miners union would use its power to promote some such reason able adjustment as this, it would help the situation of the mine workers and at the same time render a great service to the public.
 It is urged in some quarters, that the mining industry should be taken over by the Government. This, however, would involve purchase of all coal deposits in the country, an impractical undertaking, and if that was done, what policy should the Government follow? Should it con- tinue to divide up tle limited amount of work among all the men who claimed share of 1t, increas- ing the pay as the amount of work for each diminished, or should it organize the industry for efficient production, and compel one-third of the miners to find other work2 If the latter is the remedy, the miners can apply it themselves, without the Intervention of the Government. Would they rather do it of their own choice or under the direction of the Government?
 Social Progress
 In the course of the recent hear ings upon the coal industry before the Labor Committee of the House of Representatives, Washington, the following colloquy was reported as taking place between Congressman Atkinson, of Missouri, and Edgar Wallace, representative of, the Fed eration of Labor and member of the miners union:
 Congressman Atkinson: "Mine.s were getting up to last week 5l per sent more than they got during the peak of prices during the war, why aren't you willing to skid down a little now when farmers have lost 50 per cent of what they had then?"
 Mir. Wallace: 'Is there any reason why we should lose because farmers weren't organized'"
 This retort by MT. Wallace indi- cates that he thinks there is noth- ing to the problem of living wage but for every group to get control of its own compensation and boost it up for the others to pay.
 The ambition of organized labor to improve the living conditions of the masses is, of course, praise worthy, but there are certain truths that must be understood.
 One of these is that money wages are not to be considered alone in n:.asuring compensation, and an- other is that the wage bill is not paid by employers in any final sense. In the last analysis the workers in the various industries are working for each other and paying each other. They are all consumers. and the consumer pays all the costs of production and de- livery upon everything he buys.

MAYO FOUND GUILTY
62 Year Old Man To Be Sentenced
 Tomorrow For Bignmy

New York, May s.--virginius St. Julian Mayo, New Haven radiator manufacturer, was convicted of big amy Saturday. He had been on trial before Justice Edward R. Finch and a jury in the supreme court since April 26.
 The verdict was surprise. Mayo himself expected an acquittal. He said few minutes before the jury returned
 T don't see how they possibly can avoid acauitting me"
 He took the announcement calm ly, however, and gave his pedigree to the clerk of the court without changing countenance. He said he was 62 years old. an electrical en- gineer, married, and lived in Stam- ford. Justice Finch remanded him to the. Tombs until o'clock Tuesday when, he said, he would hear motions and consider the matter of bail.
 It has been indicated by the de- fense that the verdict will be ap- pealed.

CENTIMENT in business circles
 is much more cheerful than

~ ENTIMENl Tn buslness cllcles is much more cheerful than
 at any time last year, and this is especially noteworthy through out the agricultural districts. AL though price conditions are re- garded as yet far from satisfactory, and many people still have . keen realization of the losses they have suffered, the country has generally recovered its poise, and is ready to face the future with courage and confidence.
 Building operations are on a larger scale than year ago, and sufficient to employ fairly we'll the workers in the building trades and building material industries. The automobile industry is much more active than year ago, and con tracts for railroad equipment are on larger scale than at any time since the war. The effect of ac- tivity in these several lines has given a pronounced stimulus to the iron and steel industry.
 For the first two months of the present year, operating revenues oi the POI Class I railroads total $796,- 823,SSo, showing a decrease from the like period in 1921 of $S0,334,3Sl Operating expenses, on the other hand, amounted to $o62, ,l05,06S, were s164,947,673 less. Notwith- standing the heavy falling off in gross, therefore, net operating rev enues of $l34,7l8,82l were SS4,6l3,- 2o2 greater, and net operating in come was $77 7,304,7ll, instead of a deficit of $3,626,343 for the first two months of 1921.
 Coal Strike
 The nationwide coal strike has been in effect one month, during which time production from non- union mines has been equal to about one third the total normal produc- tion As yet accumulated stocks have been sufficient to prevent serious interference with industry or any considerable advance of prices, but if the shutdown shall last another month the influence probably will be more apparent.
 The situation presented by the coal industry is very complicated one. The United States Geological Survey said of it:
 The btuminous coal mines of tho United States have a developed capacity and a present labor force far in excess of that required 70 supply the demand. In con. sequence the capital and labor engaged i'll the industry are idle large part of the time. During the last thirty years the mines have been idle an average of e5 working days in every calendar year.
 There is no material disagree ment about the main facts of the coal industry, and the situation is so simple that it seems strange that so little is said of the remedy that is within the reach of the miners themselves. Since too-many work CTS are seeking employment in the industry, some of them should leave it and find employment elsewhere. It then would be necessary to give regular and approximately full em- ployment for the remainder in order to get out the required supply of coal. The consumers of coal would

Current Business Conditions
By GEORGE E. ROBERTS National City Bank of New York;

Of late a new phrase has come into circulation, to the effect that there must be not only a living wage" but a saving wage.' Un- fortunately, the people who use it usually are thinking of nothing but an increase of money wages, which means that wages and the cost of living will go up together, leaving the worker no better off than the donkey that follows all day the wisp of hay hung just ahead of his nose.
 It is time practical men learned that there is no progress by simply lacking up industrial costs, which carry the cost of living with them. The only broadly distributed gains that ever have come to the masses of the people have come by the in- provements in industry that have cheapened and increased produce ton. Such improvements are being made all the time, and the oppor- tunities for them are limitless. The engineers say that the industrial output might be increased from 40 to 100 per cent if industrial friction could be reduced and the best methods now known generally adopted. That would make it pos- slble for wage-carners to have the wartime money-wages and at the same time give each dollar the pre- war purchasing power. That would be genuine progress.
 Foreign Loans
 In view of the number of foreign loans granted in this country lately there is revival of the argument that foreign loans in the United States should be accompanied by an agreement that the proceeds will be expended in this country.
 In the situation of the United States ae the present time the first appropriate comment is that such a regulation would be wholly un- necessary to secure the purpose in view, as present exchange rates virtually give assurance that any credits in this country will be ex- pended here. So long as exchange on the United States is at premium everywhere, nobody is going to withdraw funds from the United States. To do so would be an act of business folly. If the borrower does not want to use the funds for purchases here on his own account he can sell them at a premium to somebody who does want to use them here. The premium is proof of that.
 Moreover, why should we object if Holland. being in good credit, should borrow in this market and turn the resulting credit over to Germany, at premium, in ex- change for German coal or iron? The conditions may be more favor- able for Holland to trade direct with Germany than for us to do so. And so there is no limit to the variety of deals and trades by which other countries may arrange to help each other to obtain credits in the United States. Why should we re- strict them in doing SOP The more regulations we lay upon our foreign trade the less we shall have of it. -s
