AS last word to organized labor
before the primary next Tuesday,
want to assure you that | am with
you in your effort to get square deal
through legislation. Big interests GO
after legislation collectively by united
effort. Why not labor do likewise?
When railroads combine, mine owners
agree and manufacturers merge, then

for the public to ask Uncle Sam to

"robbing Peter to pay Paul" someone
will soon have Peter to take care of.
In my opinion the first and greatest
thing to do in behalf of labor would
be to at least restrict foreign immi
grafton to the extent that our Ameri-
can labor would not be placed in COM
petition with the scum of the earth
who can live happily on the contents
of garbage cans.
| am no asking the honor of going
into the legislature for the sake of
getting into politics, but | do want
to do some good in important business
affairs and to improve and broaden
myself by the experience.
This is the first time | have asked
for public office. l came out on my
own accord and every dollar being
spent in my campaign is my own
money; therefore | am not tool"

ate in 1921 on the question Of the
publication of the production and
profits in coal revealed that seven
railroads control So per cent of the
output of anthracite coal in the U. j.,
80 per cent of this is BY ownership
and 6 per cent by contract. These
railroads are: Reading Co.; Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western X. X; Le-
high Valley r. R.; Erie interests;
Delaware & Hudson Co.; Pennsyl-
vania X. R.; New York, Ontario 4
Western X. R.; and Lehigh Coal &
havigation Co.
In this manner the financial inter-
ests of Wall Street camoufiage their
ownership of the coal industry. The
profits from the operation in the coal
industry are not to be found in the re-
port of the coal mines themselves,
but in the dividend reports of the
railroads. The ultimate cost to the
consumer Is increased by the exorbi-
tant freight rates and the ultimate
consumer pays these dividends.
Reports for the year ending. 1921
show that these companies made ex-
orbitant profits. The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Co. declar-
ed a stock dividend in August of 100
per cent. Il paid s11.32 share divi-
dends on this watered stock. Its net
earnings for the year we're $4,000
600. It's coal holdings made this pos
sible!
The Delaware & Hudson Co.'s sur
plus of s2,90O,000 came from coal
holdings. The railroads with coal
holdings acquired exorbitant profits
in comparison with the average in
come of railroads. in the United
States.
The profits of the coal industry are
manipulated so as to appear moder-
ate or so as to show the company
operating at q loss in order that
wages OF miners may be maintained
at the lowest conceivable level. These
financing methods of bankers and the
seven railroad systems alone result
ed In $500, 000, 900 of fictitious or un-
necessary securities on the basis of
which the coal industry is mulcted
for $20,000,000 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
ers.
The efforts of the constructive
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 balance 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 impending.

area for his "open shop" group. The
average unemployment in relation to
population in the Middle Atlantic
Staes is 81 per cent. Sargent avoids
these states in picking his .open
shop" cities, but he freely takes
CLOSED shop" cities from it.
The same dishonest method is APP
piled TO the Pacific district, in which
the relation of unemployment TO
population is 1.9 per cent. He Dor
rows freely from this district for his
"open shop" group, but not a single
city from the Pacific district is in
cluded in his CLOSED shop" classifi-
cation.
1t is obvious, therefore, that Mr..
Sargent is in reality comparing the
east with the west from the unem-
ployment standpoint.
Any classification of the cities
which makes any attempt at being
fair will show the dishonesty of Mr..
Sargent's method. IL is a violation
of public trust and confidence and
should not be disseminated in the
building industry. Those who are in
terested in honest building stand
ards and who appreciate the neces-
sity of retaining some confidence of
employees in their employers, earnest
ly protest against such false propa-
ganda.
Building activity has little relation
to CLOSED" or open" shop. Increase
in population and the resulting need
for housing is the principal factor.
Local conditions largely determine
the degree of building activity. Build
ing is active in Los Angeles because
of the increase of population and be-
cause work can be continued through
out the year. There is no building
in Butte because the city's only indus
try has been shut down. Workmen
have left the city and building is at
a standstill There Is increased build
ing in New York City because of the
passage of the tax exemption law.
Therefore the manipulation of figures
in the Sargent manner gives only
mathematical results which has no
meaning from a practical standpoint
and can only be given a semblance
of form by vicious distortions.

Mr.. Sargent's method is to select
fifteen "open shop" cities IN the
United States and compare them with
fifteen "closed shop cities IN the
United States from the standpoint OF
building activity. He then compares
the activity in the building trades
with general unemployment.
The cities which he lists as open

They will link all the countie,
of Georgia with good perma
nent roads in ten years, not by piece
meal.
2. They will be paid for entirel,
by those who use them-the automo.
billsts, through income from gasoline
tax and auto license fees.
8. They will not raise the taxes
OF the general public, because the
amendments especially provide thai
bonds can be issued only as fast as
the above income will take care Of
them. .E.
a. The roads will be built by the
State Highway Department, accord.
into well defined plan providing
an interlocking system of county-to,
county highways, regardless of loca
politics.
s.. The roads will be built anc
maintained entirely by the state
with@government. aid, leaving the
counties to devote their own road
funds to local roads.
g.. The city man will pay large
share of the cost, as official figures
show that about one-fourth of the
automobiles in Georgia are owned in
the cities. Although not dollar will
be spent for roads inside the cities
he favors the bond issue, because
prosperity for Georgia means pros
perity for him.
z, Each county will derive fan
more benefit from the bond issue
than if its individual auto license fees
and gasoline tax were devoted t.
roads inside its own boundaries. Il
is only by statewide system thai
federal aid can be secured.
8. By passage of the proposed
amendments, those counties which
have built roads in the state system
will be reimbursed, giving each coun
ty Its fair proportion of state anC
federal funds.
9. The rural dweller will gain an
enormous benefit from all-the-year.
round roads leading to his county
seat and to other points, while he
will bear hardly any of the cost.
10. Unless the amendments are
passed this year, Georgia will lose
$2'7OO,OOO a year of federal aid, as
no other general election will be hello
until 1924, No federal aid money
is available until a state system is
adopted.

THE Wall Street Journal rounds
up a new Ford story that is good
enough to pass along. 1t runs like
this:
A fellow dreamed that Henry was
dead. The palEbearers were carrying
the casket when suddenly its lid flew
open. Ford had come to life. He
sat sp, ran his eye over the six
pallbearers and instantly ordered:
Here, put this casket on wheels
and lay off five men,"
To appreciate this joke about
Ford's speeding up production, keep
in mind that he has orders for
nearly 100000 cars, trucks and trac-
tors for June delivery.
His June production schedule calls
for 5400 cars day or nearly II a
minute, which seems about the last
word in speed.
You have noticed the sudden
popularity of closed motor cars. A
third of Ford's output this year will
be closed cars. At the far end of
the line, Packard officials are said to
expect 70 per cent of their fall
sales will be closed models.
Engineers in the auto industry be-
lieve that the percentage of closed
cars eventually viii settle at 40 out
of 100.
