New York Rector
ROaStS Coal Owners
(By Federated Press)

New York-Dr. Percy Stickney
Grant, rector, Church of the Ascen-
sion, delivered from his pulpit one of
the most scathing arraignments ever
heard here of the methods and prac-
his subject Christ in the Coal Mine,
he declared that the coal industry had
fallen into the hands of bunglers and
profteers, and declared the govern
ment should take the management of
the industry out of their hands.
Suppose you put Jesus in a coal
mine," said Grant. "He would sleep
in a room with several other men,
probably in bed with another man;
he would rise at half past five in the
morning; he would be taken down in
the mine perhaps two and half or
three feet high, where, with all his
muscles cramped, he would dig all
day and load and push heavy cars
around. If a car runs off the track
the worker must push it on again.
So much the worse for him.
"Often these cars are given a false
weight SO that the man shall receive
less pay. How would you feel if that
were done to you? 1t makes for bad
feeling in the miner, and it rankles
in his breast. That is where the union
is a good thing, being not militant,
but representative of the worker.
Everything that helps the mine
workers to justice is fought, some,
times by company police, sometimes
by United States troops. Revolvers
in the hands of mounted men are
handy for getting union leaders out
of the way"

Party independence
Alarms Politicians

Washington The increase of party
independence and non-partisanship
is alarming politicians, who are de-
manding that the old convention
system be restored.
The Washington Post, which is con-
sidered semi-offcial spokesman for
the administration, prints two
column editorial in favor of returning
to the old system, which became so
obnoxious to citizens. After summing
up why change should be made, the
Post frankly acknowledges that the
primary system destroys party dis
cipline and party control.
This, says the Post, is "the underr
lying and practically inconvertible
argument against the direct primary
1t tends to destroy party organ
ization and it, therefore, is subverslve
of government by political parties" +"

shop" propaganda tells the farmer
that labor is holding him up. Then
he throws in the reverse and in order
to prevent joint political action of the
farmer and labor, this profteering
exl loiter tells lac3r that the farmer
is to blame for the high prices of
bread and food products. All the
time, the exploiter is robbing both the
farmer and worker.
Chinese laborers carry long board,
like a yoke, with load at both ends.
In America the worker is carrying the
same yoke with q wage-cutting open
shopper on one end and the exploiting
profteer on the ether. We hope the
worker will realize that it is not neces-
sary 20 these exploiters before he is
reduced to the low standard of living
in china.

We read a great many fake "pros-
perity" stories these days. One that
is going the rounds of the reactionary
press is that through the late increase
in the prices of corn, wheat and other
farm products $1,020,000,00G.00 have
gone into the jeans of the American
farmers.
When one considers the increased
prices OF flour and other cereal COM
modities it sounds plausible. But the
story is rot rtue When the rise in
the prices of these products came over
ninety per cent of the grain had left
the tanners hands. The billion dol
lars therefor did not go into the
pockets of fhc producers. The FACT
is, the billion dollars went into the
profits of the most vicious set of
pirates the world has ever known

Trust Boosts Prices

Now York-The American woolen
company has advanced the price of all
worsteds 10 to 20 cents yard and in
a few instances % to 80 cents a yard.
The price of woolens was advanced
two weeks ago.
This increase means a tax of mil
lions of dollars on the people, as iG-
ditional advances will be made by the
many business men who handle the
goods before they reach the final GUS
toner.
Last March the trust reported that
its 1921 profits totaled $9,192,6 ,621.73.
These figures come near equalizing
the trusts record year of 1919, when
profits were more than $10,00O.U.0.
In 1920 the profits were $685.
259.16.
The record of this trust has been
continuous piling up of profits that
has reached into the millions since
1914. This was shown in 1918 when
profits were 316 per cent over those
of 1914.
