COAL RETAILERS GOUGE.

Washington, March 9.-In a state rhent filed with the United States coal commission, committee of the United Mine Workers charge that the retail coal dealers of the country annually take profits of nearly $100,000,00O to which they are not entitled.
 "When mine labor only receives ap- proxinately $3.92 (the coal owners fig ure), and coal costs the consumer up to $22 a ton, we believe the time has come to consider reorganization of every branch of the industry in which there seems to be prohteering," the miners say.
 "The miners believe, on the basis oi estimates they have been able to make that the anthracite industry is a mo- nopoly without monopoly control. Il has four ways of taking a profit or every ton mined which 'ehectively con- ceals the total taken. We believe there are overcharges on mining, on land owning, on transportation, and on dis tribution, which amount to at least $3.61 per ton, and probably a great deal more which Is not estimated"

JUDGES NOT SUPERIOR BEINGS The Fifth of Series of Comments by a New York Supreme Court Justice On Our Courts and Tbeir Powers
By JOHN R. FORD,

Justice, New York Supreme Court.
 In England no court or judge dare declare a law of parliament invalid The chief justice of the court that tried it for the last time was hanged and his colleagues exiled from the country. Even in Canada, our next door neighbor, there is no such power in the judiciary. Ours is the only civilized country in the world where that sovereign power is vested in the judges.
 It is urged that because our con- stitution is written we must have some authority to determine whether a law Is unconstitutional, a-need not felt in England with its unwritten constitution. But France, Switzer- land, the German Empire, and the German states have long had written constitutions, yet no such power is lodged in the judiciary of those coun- tries.
 We must get away from the idea that men elevated to the judiciary are transformed into superior beings high priests of an esoteric cult as 1t were We must look upon them as mere paid agents of the people and entitled to just the degree of respect which their public acts earn for them the same respect we accord to pub lie officials generally-no more, no less

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD VISITS THE PANAMA CANAL; THE WOLF

 Washington, D. C., March 16.- The U. s. Government has built gigantic modern coaling and oillng plants at the Panama Canal at enormous cost. They have been operated by the government efflc- iently and at a profit. Neverthe- less there was a bill before the last Congress to permit leasing these plants to private interests that will be re-introduced at the next session. What can this mean!
 If private interests have a mon opoly of the sale of coal and oil to vessels passing through the Panama anal they can fix any price they please. It will not require much of an increase in the price of coal or oil to force most of the international shipping through the Suez Canal. Of course, if a little British influence is brought to bear upon the private interests operat- ing the coaling and oiling plants at the Panama Canal

FALSE DEMOCRACY"
 URGED ON WORKERS

Chicago, March o.-Meat packers are spending large sums of money to create the impression among em- ployeS that the company "union" Is democratic and that it represents the workers. The purpose of this mis- representation is to Supplant the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen, which is respon- sible for every advantage the work CTS in this industry have secured
 According to the official organ of the alleged "union," this system per mits employees to have their say" Trade unionists ask what advantage is 1t to workers to "have their say" before packed combination consist ing of employees representatives who have been selected by superinten- dents, foremen and time-keepers on one side of the table, and the super ,ntendents, foremen and time-keepers themselves on the other side. Then he president of the packing plant is to be considered. He has This say," also. And that 'say' is the last. From his decision there is no appeal and no suggestion of arbitration by diSinter- ested parties.
 The company "union" was formed by the meat packers before the last wage reduction. The hand picked representatives of the workers voted with the management to accept the reduction, and the packers used this against the trade union butcher work men when they struck in protest against the cut.
 The organized butcher workmen are now conducting a publicity campaign against this alleged union" that has served the bosses so we'll

SHIPPING BOARD
 MAKES APPEAL

In order to stimulate the morale of the American sea-going personnel, Commits sioner T. V. O'Connor, Vice Chairman of the United States Shipping Board, sent out the following message today: To the Seamen of the American Mer-
 chant Marine:
 The failure of the Ship Subsidy Bill should not be understood to indicate that the United States government has given un the ship" The Board IS still govern ed in its functions by the purpose eX- pressed in the Merchant Marine Act that we develope a Merchant Marine sutfl- cient to carry the greater portion Ot our commerce and to serve as a naval or military auxiliary until such time as 1t can be transferred to private ownership. Fifty millions of dollars has again been appropriated by Congress to meet the losses incident to the operation of gov ernment vessels, and the Shipping Board is now taking counsel to devise practical means by which our Merchant Marine may continue.
 In the meanwhile, the Shipping Board will continue the operation of all of its lines without change, as heretofore. Shippers and passengers have the govern ment's assurance that they need not hesl- tate to book on government ships; the service will be as in the past-adequate, prompt and regular.
 There IS also great responsibility upon the officers and men who man the ships and take them to sea who must carry on in a manner which will make for confidence, efficiency and stability in order as far as possible to compete with the mercantile marines of other nations.
 Above all you must remember that the United States government, through the Shipping Board, is standing squarely be- hind you and is bending every effort to put into effect plans that will make for the permanency of the American flag on the seven seas.
 The American public is becoming in- terested. It Is beginning to patron1ze government owned ships. People are carrying back with them to our inland states story of wonderful achievement The United States Line is equal to any under any flag, and the reCOnd1t1onlng ot the Leviathen, the Agamemmon, Mount Vernon, and President Buchanan, which are to be placed in active service, will make us second to none Tn the strategic North Atlantic.
 The officers and men of the Ameri- can Merchant Marine should continue their efforts with renewed encourage ment. The Shipping Board needs your assistance between now and such time as the details of a permanent plan are worked out and put in operation. The improvement in the standard and eff ciency of marine officers and the hold ing of an American unlicensed personnel to the sea are problems which are being given special study by the Board.

SWIFT UNDER SAIL
Feat Of Clipper Ship Of a Gen.
GRAFTON Ago Recalled.
Sovereign Of the Seas Averaged 1894
Knots an Hour, for Eleven Days,
Back in 1859.

The recent announcement that the
Leviathan. the worlds second largest
ship and the largest flying the Amer
lean flag, on her completion would
probably break all records for speed
!across the Atlantic, recalls the seven
tieth anniversary last month of a rec
ord made by the great clipper ship
Sovereign of the Seas, flying before the
winds in the South Pacific, In which
she made a run In II days averaging
13% knots, or $50 miles, every "A
hours.
The Sovereign of the Seas had been
built the year before in the East BOs-
ton yard of Donald Mckay, whose
famous brother, Lauchlan Mckay,
commanded the ship on her most
memorable passages. A lofty three
skysall yarder of 2,421 tons, the Soy
ereign of the Seas was then the
largest and unquestionably the swift
est and most powerful sail ship in the
world. She had zone out to the Pacific
on her maiden voyage, as most of the
clippers of that time were accustomed
TO do, sailing from New YOtk on
August 4, 1852, for San Francisco, In
a squall in the South Pacific the huge
ship carried ayay her fore and main
topmasts and ~foreyard. But Captain
Mckay had a strong crew of 100 men,
so Of them able seamen, and urder his
skilled leadership the Sovereign was
completely remasted and re-rigged ut
sea in II days-arriving out at the
Golden Gate in a. fire passage Of 1903
days from Sandy Hook. But for the
dismasting she would have broken all
Cape horn records for that season Of
the year.
Instead of running across to China,
as the clippers often did, to reload for
the Atlantic coast, the Sovereign Of
the Seas crossed only to Honolulu and
there obtained n cargo of whale oil,
taken on the Pacific grounds by whale
ships from New England. 1t was on
this passage southwark for Cape Horn
that the Sovereign performed the
memorable feat Of running 1852 miles
In " days, In strong winds and gales,
continuing increasingly. In the four
days from March 10 to March 10 in
elusive the mighty clipper ship sailed
1,47S miles, or, allowing for longitude
eastward and difference in time, an
average Of 1914 lnots. No ocean
steamer of that period could have done
this. On one day. March IS. the
Sovereign of The Sels is credited with
an average speed 81 1928 knots for
"a hours. In the Atlantic ON this pas
sage light and moderate winds pre-
vailed, but the Sovereign Of the Seas
passed Sandy Hook only 81 days out
from Honolulu.
Through those memorable II March
days Of 1853 in the South Pacific the
art OF sail-sfip har ding obtained its
%apotheosis in the wcrk If Captain Nc
Kay, his four mates and his hundred
sein,en. Never before had such sail
ing been seen: never again will ii be
Witnessed, because no such tall, keen
ships as those Yankee clippers will
ever again be constructed Steam has
sounded their doom and the end of the
kind Of crews that manned them.
