The above scale of present prices was adopted at meeting of the Ala bama coal operators on March 5, 1922.
 The generosity of the Alabama coal operators committee in protecting the public by accepting Secretary Hoover's maximum fair price selling scale Is easily accounted for by 8 glance at the above reductions .n miners wages; No wonder the opera tors agreed the selling scale "fair!" A reduction of 91a per cent to the public following a reduction of an average of 4269 per cent in miners wages! Would Secretary Hoover think this so fair?
