BANKER ROBERTSIS
 GENUINE OPT|MIST
Thinks Price Of Coal Will Reach
 Stable Level

If you are frightened over the pos sihility of permanently high coal prices for the future read this and take courage.
 George r, Roberts, Nice-president of the National city Bank, and dean of American banking economists, thinks that while a protraction ot the present miners strike together with the railroad strike may make trouble about coal deliveries this fall. the eventual settlement will mean lower prices for coal

for mining but stead work and better average earnings for the min CTS and lower prices for coal.
 The coal industry has been over stimulated and over-developed, with the result that it is on an unsatisfac- tery basis for those who are in it and for the public as well. The wages of coal miners are the only wages of a large group of workers that have not come down since the war, and the only justification for that fact is that the men have been working on very short time. This , applies to the bituminous industry"

 Roberts says it still requires a trife over s1.50 to buy commodities s1 would buy in 1913
 But this is 50 per cent less than it required in 192o,'' he says, Then it took s2 to equal the purchasing power of the 1913 dollar. The i'm portant fact is that the big drop oc- Cured within one year, for there has been no decline during the last six rlonths. .....
 "The dollars purchasing power is as near normal as we can reasonably expect in the near future. I do not expect prices to decline generally in the year to come, although the tend cncy Is downward rather than up- ward"
 Roberts emphasized he meant a general decline; that there will be re- adjustments involving advances and declines for individual commodities. One thing he expects to go down, be- sides coal prices, is rent.
 Rent tendencies are downward he says And while they have long way to go before reaching the general level, do not look for a rapid de- cline within the near future.
 'The reason, of course, is the con- tinued high cost of building. Bricks, fer example, are still double their pre-war price Yet building is going ahead briskly, simply because invest tcrs are attracted by the lure of big incomes from high rents

 ''The result is going to be that few will have to suffer for the good of the many. They are going to get pinched when construction costs. and consequently rents, take the drop that is bound to come.

Hollister Explains
Longs Connection
With Paper Co.
(St Louis Globe Democratl

(St Louis Globe Democrat)
The attached statement was given
out Tuesday by W. r. Holster, cam
paign manager for Breckenridge
Long, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the United States
Senate:
In report of Senator Reeds meet
ing at Flat River, Mo-, appearing in
the Globe Democrat the following al
legged quotation from Senator Reeds
speech is used by the Globe Democrat
correspondent:
Reed had something to say
about the Graham Paper Com
pany.
Brother Long is interested in
\ this concern" Reed drawled. at
was wrong, Brother Long thinks,
to give the farmer So a bushel
for their wheat, but Brother
3 Long collected his share of that
100 per cent profits of the Gra-
ham aper Company"
1t is not known whether the Sem
ator was accurately quoted but il he
made such statement he has been
misinformed. There are two distinct
misstatements in the foregoing quo
tation from the Senator's speech.
First, Mr.. Long never has made the
statement that the thought it was
wrong "to give the farmers SIS a
bushel for their wheat" What he has
said was that if the prices of wheat
had not been fixed in 1917, under the
Of the food control act,
spectators in the grain market. would
have manipulated prices so as to have
driven wheat to a high figure, for
their own profit, to the disadvantage
of the consumer while the farmer
would not have secured a single penny
Of the high prices all the increase
going to grain spectators In the
large centers.
Second Mr.. Long has no financial
interest or business interst of any
character in the Grahm Paper Com
pany and never has had any such in
terest. He does not own single
share Of stock in the company. Upon
the death Of B. B. Grahm the founder
Of this company he left as part of his
estate which Mrs. Long inherited, a
small block Of preferred stock in this
company, which yields fixed divi-
dend Of z per cent. Mrs. Long does
not own d single share Of the COM
mon stock Of the company and does
not receive single dollar Of the pro-
fits Of this company in excess Of the
income of this preferred stock. She
has no voice in the control Of the
company and no more Interest in the
company than the holder OF a deed
Of trust would have in a farm covered
by such deed. The Graham Paper
Company might make a thousand per
cent on its common stock, through its
general business, and Mrs. Long
would not receive d dollar Of it.
The facts with respect to the paper
company were published two years
ago, but I presume that the publica-
ton escaped the notice Of Senator
Reed.
