The Aberdeen weekly. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1878-1933, 1922-03-03
Our Editorials Are Local
and First Hand.

A newspaper without a live edito-
rial column or two is. like a house
without heat. A few live editorials
in each issue are just as vital to the
country weekly as to the big dailies
but the editorials should not be en-
tirely hand-me-downs, as so many
weeklies use. There is plenty of
material in every community to
form editorial subjects.
The Aberdeen Weekly now is adj
yocating many needed improve
ments in Aberdeen and Monroe
county. chiefly good reads and up
lifting things. Good roads are es-
sential to the welfare OF a CONNER
cial center. and sound editorial COM
ment sets people to thinking. which
eventually brings results. The sam e
is true of every public matter.
The Weekly now is going after
desirable civic improvements for
Aberdeen and hopes to- be successful
in convincing our citizenship that
we are entitled, to them.
There are two items that we be-
lieve are important factors to the
success of a newspaper: Good make
up and a live editorial page. They
both are sadly neglected by the ma
iority of country publishers. The
Weekly is. going to strive to excel
in both these items. =

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 4.-The
League for Industrial Democracy, an
organization of engineers, economists
and labor experts, has launched a
move to block any attempt on the
part of coal operators to increase the
price Of coal to cover wage increases
demanded by union miners.
1t was announced at the headquar-
tiers here that a committee OF experts
was being formed to investigate the
relation Of the price of coal to labor
and other production costs.
"A strike of anthracite coal miners
will result April 1. unless the present
controversy is adjusted" said Harry
w. Ladder. director OF research
Behind this controversy is an OPEN
shop attack on the union itself and
on the principle Of collective bargain
ing"
Mr. Ladder quoted news dispatches
which reported that some coal cor
porations were paying dividends of
100 to eco per cent annually. saying:
THE entire coal industry should be
thoroughly investigated so that the
public can get at the facts. At pres.
ent neither the miners nor the gov
ernment have access to these facts"

STEADIER TONE
FOR WEEK END COTTON

NEW YORK. February 4-After
selling off to 1880 for May contracts
on Monday or the lower price touched
since that delivery sold at o2.3s early
last September the cotton market
turned iirmer on covering and some
Improvement in trade demand. The
latter. however, failed to deyelop in
any general or aggressive way and
the ADVANCE was checked around 1873
for May contracts today. This repre-
sented a recovery Of about rs to 100
points from the low prices touched
at the beginning of the week, which
evidently attracted some realizing by
recent buyers. Otherwise little pres
sure was reported and the tone Of the
market probably reflected reports Of
a slightly steadier spot situation in
the south. One of the features Of
the week was the relative firmness of
March contracts. There appeared to
be very few for sale, and shorts were
forced to pay on increased premium
over later deliveries.
1t was not until March showed a
premium of about 80 points over May
and 20 points over July that there
was any easing OF it:.osition, how
ever. and nothing more definite has
developed with reference to the
rumored shipments. The gossip is
that March contracts here. are held
by spot people against sale OF either
May or July.
New crop months were relatively
steady toward the end Of the week.
suggesting some buying against pro-
spective requirements or perhaps a
little investment demand through
local commission houses who advised
purchases of October contracts earlier
in the week on the ground that fur
ther declines would react on new
crop prospects.
