| Cuban Smugglers
of Emigrants
| Still Find Victims

Havana, Cuba, Feb. 12.-(Mail)-
How many Cubans are officially in
the United States. but really in
Cuba, is being determined by the
secret police in an investigation into
the numerous methods developed
here recently to evade Uncle Sans
immigration laws.
The return to Cuban ports by
American immigration authorities OF
scores Of Poles and other Europeans,
who have masqueraded as Cubans,
has resulted in the assignment Of
Inspector Donate Cubas to ferret out
clandestine passport agents. His re-
ports, sent first to the department of
the interior. later We're referred to
the department Of the interior, later
were referred to the state depart
ment and finally to the department
OF justice, which has just issued or
ders that 80 or more cases Of fraud
be expedited as much as possible SO
that few convictions may act as a
deterrant to old world refugees who
are over anxious to enter the prom
ised land.
According to Inspector Cubas the
practice of contraband runners of
engag cling to land a cargo Of immi-
grants on the American coast, and
then dumping them on some DESC
late Cuban beach after robbing them
of all but their clothes. has forced
everybody but the Chinese to abah-
don that route.
The supply Of young americans
| who, for consideration. are willing
to marry foreign women of appro-
pirate age and accompany them as
far as Key West or New Lork, also
! has become exhausted, although 1t
| is believed that 4 few may become
available when the racing season
! ends.
Stoppage Of these routes, accord
| ing to the inspector. has resulted in
| the development Of the following in
gcnious scheme. The passport
| crook. after securing retainer from
! his client, looks about for Cuban
| who has no intention of travelling,
but who looks like the immigrant.
If possible, this Cuban Is induced.
| for consideration, to secure a birth
! certificate if he has none. and TO
apply for a citizenship certificate,
which will permit him to enter the
United States.
| Once the certificate is secured q
| photograph of the immigrant is sub
| stitutcd for that of the Cuban, and
| the former is ready to run the
gauntlet of the American immigra-
| ton Office. Those who do not take
the precaution OF learning Spanish,
however. generally are out Of luck,
unless they have picked up enough
English to pass some unsuspecting,
non-Spanish speaking inspector.
Whatever happens, the passport fix
er gets his bit and the business has
proven lucrative

Producers Net SLIGO
Per Ton Anthracite
Mine Workers Claim

Washington, Feb. 25.-Produccrs
OF Pennsylvania anthracite are net
ting an average profit of $1.6O per
ton at present wholesale prices, ac-
cording to estimates placed before
the Federal Coal Commission by a
United Mine Workers committee and
made public today. On annual pro-
duction of 100000 tons, the an
thracitc companies are obtaining IAN
apparent net income at present prices
of SOB, 6O0,000." the committee said,
adding that it is ito be expected that
present panic prices of anthracite
will remain fairly constant through
out this year.
Following their cost calculations
further, the committee figured that
Il profit of % cents per ton would
give the industry a reasonable return
on the amount of capital involved in
it. if annual production was 10000
600 tons. If the output rose to 49,
100000 tons. the profit would be ga
cents. The total profits produced
at this rate per ton. the committee
said. would give six per cent re-
turn to the owners of the industry. If
the total value of their holdings was
considered to he $335,496,1OO.
we Hclu uuu we TSltCGdte Jfl3C Inc
present wages paid to anthracite
workers are not sutficient compensa-
ton for the work they perform" the
report said.
1.-THE cost of anthracite coal can
never be figured in dollars and cents
alone; there must be added to the
labor cost an annual toll'of over 500
lives, of over 10000 workers who
suffer accidents, of men and boys
who do work as dirty ami dangerous
and yet as honorable as soldiers in
war, who meet death and injury in
order that coal may be produced to
warm the homes of our people and
turn the wheels of industry"
Average earnings of minors, it was
said, ION the basis of best figures the
operators have been able to produce"
amount to $500 per annum which
was asserted to be less than a liv-
ing rate. The commission was asked
to look carefully into anthracite
bookkeeping during it's fact finding
investigation. to determine whether
labor costs of it's output were not be-
ing unduly swelled by methods Of
figuring, power, administration and
supply charges.
Royalties which mine operators
now pay to owners of lands contain
ing coal were sharply attacked in
the unions analysis, which asserted
that "a satisfactory method must be
found either for the practical ELI
mination or the drastic regulation
downward of all royalties" AS the
scale now stands. it was asserted,
amounts ranging from five cents to
$2.4O per ton are being paid to the
owners of the land, average through
out the industry being Is cents. while
the wide differences in cost of pro-
duction which result from the vary
ing charges result in a price fixing
arrangement which is apt to cover
the high cost colleries and thereby
allow the lower cost colleIies a larger
profit than they would otherwise dare
to take.
