THE REMNANT RACE
(By Unifed Press.D

New York, Aug. 22.-They'vc taken
( the "U" out of Babe Ruth's pet mont
ker and are calling him the Big Bam'
again.
The same fans who called him the
I biggest bust of the season month
ago are now ready to bet that he Will
be the champion buster Of the season
again this year.
Its worth odds that before the end
Of the season Ruth will be at the top
of the home run pile. OF course, it is
IMPOSSIBLE for him to make new rec
ord. but he viii deserve lot OF credit
for spotting all the sluggers start OF
five weeks and then beating them out.
The Babe is now six homers behind
Kenneth Williams who is leading both
LEAGUES with 80. Ruth Is hitting as
good as he ever did. and at the rate ne
is going now he ought to get around
10 before ne has to hang up his club
for the winter.
Six weeks ago the fans were all Won
dering why he wasn't hitting and they
are now asking what started him MT
ting.
There is no doubt that he is in
better frame of mind now than he was
earlier in the season. Perhaps he has
also learned not to take the stings out
of the raspberry wreaths. He must
feel that he is out of slump and no
ball PLAYER can work III one.
1t might be also that little strategy
move by Manager Higgins might have
produced the results. Several weeks
ago the champion slugger was on the
point of being henched. He WASH
hitting Mt al and his work in the field
was off color. His slump was also hay
inc. effect on the morale of the team.
Higgins then secured Elmer Smith,
q home-run hitter of some renown
from the Boston Red SoX in the Du-
can deal. The fans wondered what
the club wanted with smuggling out
fielder and there is no doubt that Ruth
pondered on the same question. 1t
looked like the bench for someone and
the BAN was closest TO it.
Ruth then started hitting and no
has been one of the biggest factors in
the long winning streak of the club.
There can be no insinuation that Ruth
was not giving his best efforts to the
club. He ALWAYS plays with all his
heart and soul. but the thought of the
ignominv of being benched might have
brought out that last force in him that
helped him to bust the slump and get
his eve back on the ball.

enee the best possible bill to meet the
objections of the supreme court to the

Mr.. Gompers told the conference
that it ought to be the universal pol
icy to demand of every candidate for
congress this fall a pledge to support
whatever legislation may be necessary
to end child labor, and that citizens
should vote for no candidate who re-
fuses to give such a pledge

ing arranged by the mouse judiciary

K. Lovejoy, secretary of the national

President Gompers declared the com
mittee that industries unable to exist
without turning the lives of children
into profit have no right to live.

HOW THE COAL
GOUGERS GOUGE
THE PUBLIC

Washington.--"Ov and
writing up of appreciated values"
amounting to $155,000,0 900 in an al
legged total investment of 1915, 200, 900
as a device to conceal their actual
rate of profit is charged against 1926
bituminous coal mine companies in a
report on investment and profits of
coal owners for the past six years,
submitted to congress by the federal
trade commission.
The report declares that many COM
panies also reduce their apparent
rates of return Through inclusion in
their investment of vast tonnages of
coal deposits far beyond what is
necessary for use during the life of
their present mines and mining equip
ment."
Seven large companies investigated
have enough unmined coal to keep
them operating for 108 years at their
maximum rate of production in 1918.
The companies, it seems, regard in
terest on their investment for this
entire period as a legitimate charge
to be reflected in the price of coal.
The commission, however, considers
coal deposits above the average re-
quirements for 30 years as excess
reserves" and declares that the prac-
tice of the companies is an indefensi-
BILE element in raising prices. "The
inclusion of investment in excess coal
lands makes the rate of return, and
therefore the price of coal, appear
more reasonable than it otherwise
could. For each ton of coal bought by
the consumer over 20 cents ton
would be required if they are to pay
an annual return of only per cent
on the $22,000,000 which they have
invested in excess reserves"
The commission estimates that If
these excess reserves could be
taken out Of the 1926 companies it
would reduce their investment from
1912 to $3.50 per ton or less"
One large company in the balance
sheet submitted included so much
generalization and appreciation that
the commission revised it downward
"oyer Sd per cent"
This Generalization and writing
up of appreciated values" and the
inclusion of investment in excess
coal lands" roundly condemned by
the commissions report, are under
stood to figure in the "nonprofiteer-
ing" price submitted by the oper-
ators to the secretary of commerce
and promulgated by him as flair"
AS to profits of the coal owners,
the commission declares that for the
six years 1916-1921 the return on
investment averages is per cent,
running as high as 30 per cent in
1917. The figures for the first three
years were collected by the COM
mission; for the last three they were
supplied by the national coal associa-
ton. The commission says that it
"does not vouch for" the coal asso-
cations figures, which may be in
terpreted as an indirect way of say
ing that the associations returns are
padded to conceal profits.
In 1920 the coal owners secured
an injunction restraining the commits
sion from requiring the coal compan-
les to make business reports to the
commission. Since then the national
coal association is the only source OF
information concerning the reason
ableness of prices which the operators
charge.

SLIPPING THE SUBSIDY

The United States Shipping Board

That department, with much outside
help, spent months drafting the ship
subsidy bill which friends of shipping
interests hope to see jammed through
soon.
Committee hearings have been
closed on this bill full of injustice.
The governments legislative draft
ing service is now working day and
night to redraft the bill that the
prize 100000 crew spent months in
drafting.
Somebody with ability has got to
put the infamous measures in shape
to become law.
Remember, too, that the 100000

through the government.

a lot of luxuries for the benefit of

Washington.-The national child

child labor to work determinedly to
abolish child labor for profit through
out the United States and Canada.
The conference was called to consider
the situation arising from the decis-

court that the federal child labor law
imposing an excise tax upon the
profits of child labor products is UNI
constitutional.
Mr.. Gompers was elected chairman
Of the permanent conference; Miss
Florence Kelley Of the national con-
sumers' league, vice chairman; and
Miss Matilda Lindsey of the national

GARY AND "THE IRON AGE'

The plutocrats' panacea for all
labor ills is to cut wages and increase
prices. 1t is sad to find that The Iron
Age, known Familiarity as the "bible
of the steel industry" in the leading
editorial of its June issue, announc-
es this as the issue in the proposal of
President Harding that the 12-hour
day be eliminated in the United
States. The Iron Age ignores the
suggestion of engineering societies
that the 8-hour day can be established
without lowering wages or increasing
steel prices perceptibly by better
management and increased efficiency
in production and that this has been
done by many plants in the United
States which are now operating in
competition with the S4-hour week
schedule of the U. S. Steel Corpora
ton and others, Read the adroit
statement of the new propaganda:
"The issue of the three-shift day
at iron and steel works largely Sits
down to two questions:
81. Will the workers Of the strong
arm and strong back type, who have
chosen blast furnace and steel works
employment because their strength
and endurance can earn more there
than anywhere else be satisfied with
the pay of other common labor en-
Payments
~. Will the consumers of the pro-
ducts into which steel enters be salts
fled to pay for the very considerable
increase in cost? This last is really
the crux, at least the economic crux,
of the whole problem"
Cut wages and increase prices
Soak labor and soak the public! In
trench ourselyes ut would take q
few years but within that
time the American steel industry
would be in stronger position thar
ever" says The Iron Age.
1t can scarcely be denied, in view
Of the u. S. Steel Corporations $780,,
100000 surplus, that the S-hour day
can be installed without lowering
wages or increasing prices in Judge
Gary's plants, especially when indie
pendent companies have done it. The
argument against doing it is ingen-
ious. Steel Trust lawyers argue that
the U. S. Steel Corporation is bene
ficent institution that permits indie.
pendent companies to live by refusing
to cut prices and that it keeps price.

tition cannot be charged against tn,
