LEGION GIVES UP
SALE OF POPPIES
To Start Fund for Perpetual Decora-
ton of Graves of Soldiers
Buried Overseas

Robert w. Ely Post of the American
Legion has this year decided to DIS
pense with the sale of peoples and IN
their stead will place in the business
bonses of the city contribution boxes,
Tho funds from which will be utilized
for the perpetual decoration OF the
Graves of $4,000 American soldiers
who vet remain buried overseas.
At least 100000 will be needed
100000 can well be used-to increase
the principal of the fund, the nucleus
Of which is million francs now on
deposit in France. This American
Legion Graves Endowment fund will
be invested in perpetuity and the m
come used annaully to provide decora-
lions for the graves of the American
soldiers and sailors whose bodies Will
forever lie overseas.
This silent army, which will rep
resent America in perpetuity, will not
be forgotten on the coming Memolal
Day. The government will, of course,
see to it that the graves are not ne
elected, but the Legion proposes that
there shall be more personal and
intimate connection between America
and the army which still represents
it on the fields of honor in Europe. The
Legion will send Americas greeting
to these soldiers on this Memorial day
and on every Memorial day. An an
nouncement by Alvin Owsley, national
commander of the Legion, runs, in
part:
1t is the high honor of the American
Legion to represent the American peo-
pie in the fulfillment of the sacred
national obligation Of decorating the
graves of our soldiers on each Me-
mortal day. The Legion pledges it
self always to remember and honor
our dead on foreign soil on the day
when the heart of all American is
thrilling with reverence for them. Let
us all-every Legionaire, every post
contribute this year to the Graves
Endowment fund, which will insure
that each year our respect and honor
shall be fittingly bestowed upon those
who sleep in perpetuity in the ceme-
teries Of Europe"

Coal Prices and Consumers.

The settlement of the anthracite
strike is, going to cost some one
money. That some one will be the nitt-
mate consumer, if the producers and
the various middlemen can pass the
Increased wages along to the con-
sginer. and they have been adopts in
that art in the past
II. has been Varieusly estimated that
the increase in wages paid the, miners
will add so to T5 cents a ton in cost
Of production. But will that be all the
increase demanded of the consumers?
Pypaniding taxes and costs of pfoquc-
ton have hit the public hard in many
cases in recent years.
Fae remedy, after all, will lie largely
irssthe hands of the public. The fed
erar government, it is announced
proposes to. do all in its power to edu.
cate the people in. the anthracite-con-
stunning communities on the matter OF
costs and prices and margins OF. profit
in the coal industry. That appears to
be as far as the government can go
u1isss there should be a conspiracy on
tfaeipart of producers: and dealers to
fix qprices; which would come within
the scope. of the antitrust laws. The
Uhned States Coal Commission has
gathered full data on costs, etc, and
tiff is being made public as rapidly
as possible, so that the. people may
knew what the profits are and where
they go in the coal business. When
this. information is .at.hand the people
should be in a position largely to deal
with the: situation themselves. Prof
iteefing dealers and producers, whole
saIers and retailers. should receive no
mercy at the hands of the public.
There is no shortage of coal. The pro-
ductien has been above normal this
year, and practically all of the an
thraeite produced is already in the
biHs OF the consumers.
The danger to the people lies in the
apathy of the public itself. Too many
would rather pay the increased prices
demanded than take the trouble to
fight the matter out. Each community
necessarily must handle the question
for itself. 1t can be done through ac-
ton OF the state or municipal Ruthori.,
ties. In the District of Columbia,
where the federal government is SUI
prer1e and Congress iegislates for the
people. the situation is different. The
federal Congress can. if if deems it
necessary,. take drastic action to pre-
vent coal profiteering.
Before the settlement of the coal
strike preparations had been made on
q large scale to provide the people
with substitutes for anthracite. There
Is nothing to prevent, the consumers
from using these substitutes if the
prices of anthracite are forced to prof
Iteering heights, now that the strike
has been settled. A buyers strike has
been effective in the use of other Gorn-
modities, sending prices tumbling.
