HIDE FACTS
Coal Owners Block All Pub
licity

Washington There is no agency
in the federal government which has
acsertained, or can ascertain, the cor
rect production cost of a ton of coal
in well-operated, efficient mine" J"
said the house committee on labor, in
reporting bill in favor of creating
coal investigation agency"
"Not only has the federal govern
ment's existing agencies failed to OBJ
tain information from an unbiased
source, but they have been denied the
legal right to obtain such information,
and from the ou%ce of information at
hand it would be impossible, with a
limited amount of expenses and effort,
for any committee of congress to OBJ
tain this information" said the COM
nittee.
Operators came before the commit
tee on labor and obstinately refused to
give their cost of production, and it is
fair to presume that such reports as
were voluntarily made by them to eX-
isting government agencies, who did
not have the right to examine books,
investigate contracts and cross-exam-
inc witnesses, were padded and unre-
liable"

|IRIDESCEN'T DREAM
IsAnti- ti-Unionists' PetScheme
of open Shop"

Washington.-The "open" shop is
an iridescent dream-it must be either
a union or non-union shop, Frederick
Delano, former president of the Wa
bash railroad, told the transportation
group of the Chamber Of Commerce
of the United States.
The former railroad official said he
has reached this conclusion "after an
experience and observation running
over a period of years"
"The so-called open shop so often
talked Of" he said, represents a tenn
porary condition which, in practice,
does not and cannot continue and
therefore it's discussion is largely aca-
demic"
While the speaker gave no consola-
tion to union-smashing propagan-
dists, he declared in favor of a semi
military status for railroad employees,
who should be prohibited by law from
striking. He says he would permit
them to quit their employment after
they gave proper notice, but it would
be illegal for them ''in any way" to
interfere with the continuous opera
tion of the trains.

TRULY WERE GOLDEN CHIMES

In the Mexican state OF Sonora, at

in early days was famous for the
sweet-toned bells cast there from cop
per procured In the neighborhood.
1t was from Tyopa that chimes Of
bells were obtained for many missions
on the Pacific coast, and from the same
source came bells that were hauled by
OK teams across the desert to mission
settlements In Arizona and New Mex
leo. There was one such settlement
at Sitka, Alaska, established by Fran
ciscan monks, which got It's chime Of
bells from TyopR.
Some of these bells are still In sx-
istence, their tones as sweet as ever.
Many of them have been melted In lat
ter days for the gold and silver they
contained. The sweetness OF their
music, In fact, was due to the drcum-
stance that about 25 per cent Of the
crudely refined copper from which they
were cast was silver and gold.-Mii-

This account Of cats remarkable
display of reasoning was recently given
to a friend of the Companion by
minister whose word, one correspond
ent remarks, is of course not to be
questioned.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Nj were
about to move to California they left
their cat with some friends who were
living In suburb perhaps two miles
from the eastern side of their home
city. After an absence of 18 months
they returned and spent two weeks
with their friends Though the cat
remembered them, 1t appeared to be
content with its owners so when Mr..
and Mrs NJ went to live In a new
house In the northeastern part of the
city they left the cat behind. A few
days later 1t was missing from its
home In the suburb for the first time
since it had gone there to live; and
three days later friends notified Mrs.
NJ that her cat was at her first
home In the extreme western part OF
the city.
Apparently puss had reasoned that
it's former owners had returned TO
their old home; SO 1t hastened there,
travelling either through or round a
busy city distance of fully three
miles Mrs. Nj went and got the
cat at once and carried 1t to the new
home, where 1t now lives contented-

The courts We're provided, especially

who could not understand each others
