REGULATION OF
COAL INDUSTRY

New York. April 1--(By Assoc

tion to prohibit over-development
OF the coal industry was proposed
here today by Philip Murray, vice.
president of the United Mine
Workers of America, as "a cure
for the great evil which has Amer
ica in the grip of nationwide
strike today"
"Ten thousand bituminous
mines are being worked in this
country, when 1000 mines could
produce sufficient coal for the ma
tion IS needs" he declared.
"The reason. for this condition
is the greediness of corporations
who hold undeveloped coal lands
to make them pay profits. New
mines are opened before there is
market for the products, mil
lions Of dollars are invested in
properties that can only work
part time, 100000 more men than
the industry can keep employed
are drawn into 1t.
"We have seasons of great ac-
tlvities, and inactivities in all
these mines, followed by long
periods of idleness. Men are re-
quired to live 365 days on the
of from 40 to 200 days.

IRON the time when cash began
L TO be superseded by checks. drafts
and other paper in the transaction OF
business, it has been natural and
necessary that the banks of com
munity should match the debts and
credits with one another daily and
make the proper settlement.
In London, in the 18th century, 1t was
the custom of the banks to use walk
clerks or ''collectors," as we would
call them, to go TO each Of the other
banks in turn and collect the actual
cash to cover checks, drafts and other
credits which had accumulated IN the
previous days business
About 1910, two of these walk clerks
CHANGED to meet IN a coffee house
where each had gone for little
refreshment. 1t appears that messen-
gers of those days were no more eager
for work than In our own time, for
it seemed clever idea to these youths
to effect their exchange right then and
there, thus eliminating the long walk
and the attendant fatigue. Also per
hitting more time for refreshments.
Their banks did not discover the sub
terfuge and SO the simple method was
continued. Other clerks learned Of

economy of time and labor, though
local conditions make special rules
advisable.
Wherever a Clearing House Associ-
alton is functioning it will be found,
as a unit to be leading the banking

necessarily the fact, not only because
the largest and most influential banks
of the community are always members
Of the Association, but also because

through its clearings and the penodl-
cal meetings Of the Clearing House
Committee and the Association, place
the organization IN an authoritative
position with regard to local conditions.
The large downtown bank and the
smaller though vital ''neighborhood"
institution come into the Association
on equal footing. What each gives
to the Association in loyalty and Co
operation it receives again In dividends
Of qualification over a responsibility
accepted. as well as the knowledge
that BY It's membership it has gwen to
its own customers the last safeguard
available for the protection Of their

The Clearing House idea

the time and Iabor-saving scheme of
their colleagues and before long the
coffee house had become the first
clearing house. Many thousands Of
pounds changed hands daily, without
authority or sanction Of the banks,
who believed their clerks TO be fol-
lowing their tedious rounds instead Of
disposing Of the business IN hand IN a
fraction of the former time
When the practice was discovered,
there was division Of opinion among
the bankers. Some ordered It stopped
forthwith. Others, perceiving the
germ Of merit in the idea, held out for
It's development The latter prevailed
and room was engaged for the use
of the boys. Later, set Of clearing
rules was devised and a manager placed
IN charge Of the entire activity. From

AN ELEGY OF VAN WINkLE

Van Wrinkle, Anyold county, Flor
ida, was the typical cracker hamlet,
where the flight Of time was merely
noted by the semi-annual change on
the railroad time table and crop per-
iods.
The leading citizens consisted at all
times of seven or eleven kinfolks, who
occupied I'll the local and county Off
ces designated by the code and its
amendments. Education or qualifca-
tons were a fourth dimension in Off
cial status at Van Wrinkle.
The last war they heard of was in
1861 and nothing figured since 1865.
A mans reputation was based upon
his ability as a fisherman and liar,
both running under the same head,
which signified all qualified in Van
Wrinkle as of good reputation.
The leading athletic sport was
checkers. Spiritual welfare of the
community was regulated by three
churches, each of which held yearly
revival service, the second and third
heightened in protractedness to beat
the term of the first.
When an outsider braved the por-
tails of Van Wrinkle, seeking the much
vaunted benefits of its climate and 10
cation, he received the icy NIT. The
folks were frozen out in 1895 and had
chills ever since. When one shook
your hand, it was with the cordial
grasp Of a corpse overdue at the near
est cemetery. Progress was taboo
its fame unknown and unsung, while
the only news which trickled in from
the outside world was conveyed in
mail order house catalogs. The three
merchant princes who operated in
Van Wrinkle, by mutual consent, had
| arranged their stock lines to avoid
competition. The odd customers paid
twice the right retail price for goods,
which was the only way they could
offset the losses through credit ex-
tended. Cobwebs of the vintage of
1892 decked these emporiums of trade
and the ants meandered idly through
the sugar barrel without restraint.
Then into the calm came bolt from
the blue. A Hebrewic gentleman,
| with a misfit stock of auction goods
| hired the vacant store of Bill Snod-
grass. 1t had been unused since the
big frost. Without showing his hand,
the aforesaid lessee got busy. In a
week, without native help, the store
was renovated so Snodgrass himself
was in doubt if it were his own prop
erty. The big opening day came. I'm
| heard bargains were revealed, prices
slashed to only 25 per cent above
normal, and the natives came, bear
ing handbills which had been cast
over the countryside. They viewed
and bought-bought again and again
while the merchant princes wondered
where the coin of the realm had beer
dug up. About the time all the ready
cash in town and the adjoining coun-
try had been garnered, the merchant
princes got together and bought out
the invader, who made his exit The
division of the stock brought about
quarrel between the three, war wa:
declared and people got things at the
right price, the world heard Van Win
kle existed and the influx began. With
its paved streets, electric lights
stores, etc, Van Wrinkle is now tn,
county seat, where land is $500 al
acre instead of 50.
The moral: 1t does not always TAX
burglar to find an opening in life
but it pays to advertise.
