Washington, d. c., April 20
Give back, out of the United States
treasury, all fines imposed for profi-
teering in necessities of life during
and since the war.
That is the proposal contained in
a bill introduced in congress by
Senator Davis Elkins Of West Vir-
ginia.
Elkins belongs to the senatorial.
group that gets things through.
Therein lies the danger in this
profiteering refund proposal official
ly known as Senate 3193.
This bill was introduced on the
same day as the ship subsidy bill.
Those who watch proceedings in
Washington are beginning to fear
will no longer stop before the treas
ury because there will be no treas
ury there!
The Elkins bill reads, in part, as
follows:
THAT the secretary of the treas
ury is hereby authorized and direct
ed to refund upon application there
for under such regulations as he
may prescribe to every person, part
nership, associa ton or corporation,
the amount such person, partner
ship, corporation or associa ton has
paid as a fine upon conviction Of a
violation Of the provisions Of Sec
ton Of what is known as the
Lever Act"
The bill makes no provision for
recompensing workers wrongfully
prosecuted under the Lever law, as
were the United Mine Workers in
violation of promise from most high
authorities in the government and
in plain violation of the intent of
the law.
But the profiteers-those who
piled loot upon loot while the ma
ton was at war-they are to get
their winnings back if this bill goes
through. A.: p
The subsidy bill-this refundFbill
the sales tax proposal-these. are
some Of the measures backed by the
Old Guard and for which the masses
of the people are expected to be
easy prey.
THE most amazing proposition
on record is the manner in which
honest observers characterize the
l1lkins proposal to give back to the
profiteers the fines which courts
decreed they should pay for break
ing the law in time of war!

MINERS Invade
HOME OF Steel
Union Reaches Into Steel Trust
Belt in Coal Regions; Coke
Price Goes Up.

Washington, April 2O.-The
praise agents" of the. coal owners
are busily explaining how these law
abiding citizens fear prosecution if
they enter into an agreement with
the central competitive field min
ers. Attorney General Daugherty
has stated in a letter to Congress-
man Bland that no prosecutions
would follow such a course, but the
coal owners have become so virtu-
Gus that simple minded people sug-
sest they may turn back to the pub
lie some of their extortions.
Another feature Of the strike are
gains made by the miners in west
ern Pennsylvania, and especially in
that Gibraltar of non-unionism, the
Connellsville coke country. The Sue
cess of the union miners is indicated
by the fact that the price of coke,
which is essentia in steel making,
has increased in the ittsburgh dis
trict.
The steel trusttl which controls
these fields, is making strong de-
NAL that the unionists have entered
their baliwick. but the fact remains
that their company unions" and
other paternalisms have not secured
justice for these workers.
Coal owners have unorganized
4Connellsyilk'~ miners within r,1c.f
grasp. The miners are not permitted
to have a checkweighnan and they
are compelled to mine from $500
to $500 pounds for ton of coal.
These miners are not paid for dead
work, which is necessary before coal
can be mined. In union mines, roof
propping, track laying, rock remov-
ing adm other dead" work is paid
for by the hour

A BANK A DAY WENT OUT
or BUSINESS LAST YEAR

Although the federal reserve act
is advertised as a panecea for bank
failures, the controller of currency
reports that 81 national bank fail
ures in 1921 has been exceeded in
only two years since the national
banking system was formed in 1868.
The total number of private, state
and national bank failures was 365,
or one for every day in 1921.
Since 1863 less than per cent of
the chartered national banks have

Delaware Loses
To P. M. E.
Cadets Uncork Aerial Attack in
Last Quarter and Over
come Lead
Near Riots In Stands

The Blue and Gold of Delaware
again went down to defeat, this time
before their old and honored rivals,
P. M. c. on Saturday afternoon in
Chester, CO.
Practically the entire student body
Of the University accompanied the
team and rooted long and hard for
their favorites, and although their
hopes were eventually crushed they
saw real football game which held
goodly share of thrills for all con-
cerned. The scoring was all accom-
plished in the last two quarters. From
the opening whistle until half time
the two teams battled on even terms,
and neither gained any appreciate
ground. Delaware showed the ablest
defense all through the game. The
much touted Worst and the Aliens
found no hole through which they
could wriggle. Magaw and Price
turned them in on attempted end
runs, and left the runner with only
one possible thing to do-run into the
waiting arms of Goffigon, Akin, Nc
Kelvie or Cole. 1t was indeed a joy
to see that line in cation Saturday,
and the great numbers of alumni who
witnessed the struggle were united in
praising it.
But the Delaware invaders were
noticeably helpless before the sys.
tematic forward passing Of the
Cadets, and this glazing weakness
ultimately caused their downfall. Late
in the last quarter P. M. c. started

RACING AT

Cherry Willis Steps Mile in
2.l0A

With the largest entry and crowd
present at any of the matinees thus
far held at their new track at Glas-
gov, the Pencader B. and A. A.
staged, on Saturday, one of the best
shows held in this vicinity for num-
Der of years.
The main attraction of the after
noon, of course, was the performance
of that grand little pacing mare,
Cherry Willis, 2.06A, by Peter the
Great. Handicapped with q stiff
breeze and new track the mare and
her driver were given rousing cheer
from the crowd.
Aside from the special feature, the
best attraction of the afternoon was
the performance of Fatima AK
worthy, 2.15A, which established
trotting record for the new course
stepping the second heat in 2.1s fiat,
thereby filling the Wilmington owners
cup to overlooking.

Gallery hurled the ball over to the
left of the line of scrimmage with |
about thirty yards separating him
from the goal line. Elliot of P. M. C.
was waiting for it and got away for
the simple reason that there was no
one near him.. Steel finally brought
him down, but not before he had roll
ed over the line for the winning score.
1t was plainly evident to all who were
present that Delaware has no defense
for the forward pass. If they have,
they left it in Newark Saturday.
Their defense in the other depart
ments is without reproach, and the
backfield did noble work throughout
the game. That made it particularly
hard to lose the big game of the year.
Immediately following the P. M. c.
touchdown young free for all fight
started in the Delaware stands be-
tween the loyal supporters of the
Blue and Gold and crowd of belli-
gerent obstetrics, who had continu-
ally kept up running fire of verbal
abuse directed at the Delaware fol-
lowers. The touchdown was hard
, enough to bear, but when the hood
lums in the upper part of the stands
increased their howings, it was too
much. Several students mounted the
stands and dragged down some of the
agitators. In an instant small riot
was in progress, and only through
the prompt action of mounted officers
was it confined to one or two small
encounters. No casualties were re.
ported, except that several ladies
were knocked down by the force Of
the rush.
Jack Williams, Ike Elliott and Doc
Steel starred in the Delaware back
field. Mcdonald did some pretty off
tackle plunging. Cherpak disappoint
ed many of his supporters by con
tinual fumbling of punts, many time
, greatly endangering the Delawar
goal line. The lineup:

Speculation is rife as to whom the

at Washington caused by the death
Of Senator Penrose. George Wharton

as likely, with Morris l.. Clothier as
another possibility.
