MoNoTYPE CO. TO MAKE AND
SELL ADDING MACHINES

Lanston Monotype Machine Com.
pany of Philadelphia has acquired by
purchase the patents, business and
other assets Of the Barrett Adding
Machine Company. The machine will
be built in the monotype factory and
distributed through the monotype or
ganization.
There will be a sensible saving in
manufacturing costs. due to the fs:t
that the Barrett machine and the
monotype keyboard may be manu-
featured by men, machines and
methods almost identical.
The Barrett adding machine lists,
adds, subtracts, divides and multi
plies, printing the proofs Of it's oper-
atoms. 1t is portable, weighing but
23h pounds, and has a noiseless
mechanism.
Plans are being made for a record
breaking sales year. The Barrett
already has been marketed, but, with
the monotype guarantee and the
prestige Of the Monotype Company
behind 1t. the opportunity for its
wide and rapid distribution is espe-
cially good.

miner is allowed to work. Therefore.
a miners annual income, even in the
best-paid job, Is only two-thirds OF the
wages SO often cited. For instance,
the man who gets $3.50 month can
not be credited with $500 year,
for on the average he works only
two-thirds of the month and gets but
$500 month. or $500 a year.
OF course, that is large sum Tor
hand labor, but only the most highly
paid men get it. Nobody should i'm.
agine that the 550,000 who threaten
to strike in a few weeks are striking
because they won't accept less than
$500 salaries. It Is not so bad as
that. -.
The Railway Freight.
But the coal must be not only dug
by miners; It also must be trans
ported by railway men. And the
miners contend that the high railway
freights have more to do with high
coal prices than miners wages. In
the appeal for public sympathy. this
point is made again and again. How
about It? Are the coal miners stran-
Cling coal users with high wages, or
are the railways doing 1t with high
freight rates? Here care some fig
ures from a Government report.
A ton Of soft coal on the railway
car in Pennsylvania costs SAT-. Of
which $2.19 Is miners wages. The
freight on this ton Of coal to Eastern
Massachusetts, is $4.86. Of which about
$3.50 Ii railway mems wages. So the
cost Of the coal laid down at the coal
dealers bins is a little over 50. Of
which $50 Is wages. The freight
rates are ferocious, but more than half
of them 60 for wages, just as at the
coal pit, more than half the cost OF
the coal has been paid for wages.
A ton of hard coal at the Pennsyl
vania mine costs about $500 to pro-
duce; 1888 Of this is wages. That
same ton of coal costs $3.50 IN Maine.
Why? Because the freight charges are
$6.45. This means that Of the $3.50
paid by the Maine consumer At least
$7,25 Is the wages Of labor.

LABOR BOARD SUMMONS
VIRGINIA RAIL OFFICIALS

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The United
States Railway Labor Board, 1t was
announced today, has cited the Inter.
state Railroad Company, operating
lines In Southwestern Virginia, to ap-
pear before 1t on February for an
inquiry as to whether the road has
violated an order Of the board.
1t is charged that the road has
ignored an order directing 1t to rein
state 8. b. Atwood and H. e. Silvers.
switchman and fireman. respectively,
who were discharged, 1t Is alleged, for
giving union officials information con.
corning wage scales.
The railroad did not combat tina
charges, but replied that 1t did not
care to present any evidence. because
1t does not deal with its employees
through representatives Of labor
organizations. The labor board sus-
tanned the positions Of the labor
unions and ordered Silvers and

A genuine spring cleaning to
purge motion pictures Of all SEM
blance of salaciousness was promised
today by Will H. Hays, who leaves
the Cabinet March to head a new
association of motion-picture pro-
ducers and distributors.
+, A real moral cleansing and not

some quarters, is the purpose Of the
association which will pay him $780,

master general, Mr.. Hays declared.
ct will head what you might term
a moral crusade in the film industry
after March T." Hays said. There
is nothing to this talk that the peo-
ple with whom / will be associated
plan a campaign against extension Of
censorship of motion pictures. They
have never mentioned censorship to
me in any way in my negotiations
with them.
I'VE have two detectives. We will
attempt to attain and maintain the
highest possible standards in motion
picture production and seek to de-

The prediction is that of q high
Washington official, as quoted in the
Nations Business. What does II
mean? Why that in a few weeks we
shall be face to face with the same
sort Of coal crisis that the English
people encountered last year.
In the trade papers pages already
are devoted to the subject. for coal
Is king In industry, and when the
fires die down all occupations feel
the chill. Even stockholders and
bankers are not exempt.
What, then, Is the trouble? Wages,
freight rates, prices, half-time en-
ployment-pretty nearly everything
that cut figure in any strike or
lockout. The mine owners and OBJ.
orators say they cannot go on paying
wartime wages in peace time; that
wartime wages mean wartime coal
prices and that factories and rail-
roads cannot revive and consume .

are maintained. On the face OF

different classes were then earning

FOREIGN CROP
PR0SPECTF0R
1922NOT BRIGHT.
World Condition Of important
Products Held Favorable,
However.
BY International News Service.

The condition of important crops
throughout the world is favorable,
despite recent Indictment weather. but
the prospects for a foreign crop yield
this year equal to that Of last year
are not bright, according to an an.
nouncement today by the Department
of Agriculture. ''
The winter wheat crop is in gen.
orally good condition throughout the
Eastern and North Central States Of
the United States, but the condition
Is poor in Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa. and other portions OF the
Southwest. The condition Of winter
rye is reported to be generally good
In the leading producing States.
Wheat harvesting in the northern
and central provinces of Argentina
has made good progress, the crop has
benefited by recent rains. and the
quality of the grain is generally re-
been very favorable for corn. but the
condition of oats is below average and
a poor yield of inseed is expected.
Australia's wheat crop this year is
estimated at 146,614,00O bushels, as
compared with, 1Is,799,00 bushels
last year, but recent reports that
some yields are not up to expecta-
tons will, 1t Is expected, materially
reduce the final estimates The yield
in New South Wales is reported to be
large, and the quality Of the crop
generally good.
The condition Of the winter cereal
crops continues to be variable In the
Northern Hemisphere. Germany's
wheat and rye crops, although show
ing some deterioration, range from
fair to good. Due to drought and
frost, the termination of all fall.sown
cereals has been very irregular in
Belgium and most districts Of France.
The condition of wheat and rye in
Hungary, Bulgaria, and Latvia Ia
favorable, but 1t Is feared that recent
heavy frosts in Austria have caused
some damage due to the absence Of
a protective snow covering.
Cereals in central and southern
Italy are in good condition. but the
dry weather has caused considerable
damage in the northern districts.
Growing conditions have been favor
able in Great Britain, and a strong
healthy stand is reported. A large
acreage of wheat Is being sown In
Algeria, due to the abundant moist
ure. Canada's wheat crop is reported
to be In good condition. .

Spectacular advances and decline, OF

The Steel Stocks.
BY reason Of the merger talk there
has been created favorable sentiment
toward the steel stocks. This has
gone so far that 1t would perhaps he
well to issue q warning. In the first
place. the mergers, while they may
help in the future, are not likely to
mean any extra distytbution or benefit
to shareholders Immediately. The
steel industry has still a long way to
go to get back to normal. The best
stock, Steel Common, Is believed by
many judges to be somewhat out of
line. On this belief one of the strongest
cliques in the street has gone short
for a large amount. Any extra dis
tribution, bonds or cash payment in
connection with the proposed merger
would simply mean SO much more
water capital. Steel companies must
economize, and II they consolidate,
must cut down capitalization and not
increase It, else the main purpose Of
the merger will be lost.
