ONLY PASSING NOTICE

Almost every day there comes news
Or some invention or discovery or the
perfectlng of some previously discuss
ed process in manufacture, which in
itself is worthy of far more than
"passing notice." Yet We in this day
are getting so used to seeing and
hearing OF things once believed i'm
possible that we are inclined TO read
of these new wonders and give them
scarcely serious thought. When
some valuable invention comes into
universal use, and the promoter makes
a barrel of money" we are a bit
peeved that we ourselves did not think
of the thing-'it is SO simple; why
hasn't it been done before?" Were 1t

This apathetic state OF mind Is a

qualities If the great mass of the poo

new things that are being found out;
new things TO use, but old in the mat

WHOLESALERS, PROFITS

A summary of the report of the
United States coal commission says
wholesalers in the coal industr,
during recent years have been taking
profits at a rate of more than zoo pei
cent over their pre-war margins, while
retail coal dealers, in spite of increas-
ings costs, have been taking less II
is recommended that the federal gov
eminent be empowered to regulatesfuel
distribution in time of shortage, but
the retail handling of coal be left
chiefly for local treatment.
Coal wholesalers getting 200 pei
cent more profit than before the war
Coal retailers getting less profit than
before the war!
Moreover there was found that
many wholesalers interviewed between
the mines and the retailer. Sometimes
there were as many as four wholcsal-
ers handling the coal before 1t was
given to the retailer to distribute
Each of these wholesalers, OF course,
had to have profit. Four margins
of profits for four different wholesal-
ers, or for four wholesalers connivine
with each other.
The local retailers, for instance,
have protested that they were moi
making any money at the prices they
had to sell coal. Few believed them
We hold no brief for the retailer,
but we do hold an arraignment of the
wholesaler whose excessive profit has
brought UP the price of coal before II
reaches the retailers hands.
1t is plain that when there is plenty
of coal and there is real competition
among the wholesalers then, Of course
this competition is the most efficient
regulator Of wholesale margins. The
wholesaler has to pay for the coal
he gets, and pay in competition with
other bidders. There is less blame at
tached to him then, for he is forced
to pay higher prices. But In time
OF coal shortage there is no such ma
tural regulation of prices. This is the
time for government regulation OF
prices if there is such time. And
1t is during such shortages that the
consumer is most anxious
This report of the scommisson al
the head of which is John Hayes
Hammond at least tells us where the
great profits have been made in re-
cent years. In recommending the fed
eral management of fuel distribution
in emergencies and in the statement
that average rates of retail profits on
coal since 1918 have been generally
moderate and much less than those
of the wholesalers" the greatest
amount of blame is placed upon the
shoulders of the wholesalers. The re.
tailers, then, are In a measure absolv-
ed from blame, but with this spotlight
directed at the profits of the whole
salers, and the resultant correction OF
their methods that will be demanded
there may be expected a reduction OF
price from the retailer when tho
wholesalers exorbitant demands arc
curbed. We are getting somewhere.
