INSTABILITY BLAMED
FOR HIGH FUEL COSTS
BY COAL COMMISSION

ity in the bituminous coal mining in

high prices and the fuel shortage
which has menaced the American

of its fact finding investigation laid
before Congress.
Labor troubles. transportation diff
ficulties and over-develop- emit of the
industry in mines and ranpower to
a point where it is much larger than
necessary to supply public demand
for its product-if operations were
continuous-were all three assigned
as among primary causes for the con-
dition. The exast bearing which
these have upon the existing situa-
ton, the commission said, it intend
ed to study in its further inquiry.
Regarding the possibility of an
other general coal strike after April
l. the report said the commission
has reason to believe that an agree
ment will be reached in the near flu
ture that will avert any widespread
cessation of mine operations in union
fields on April I"
The commission added that its
work in promoting industrial peace
by aseertaining and publishing relia-
BILE data on wages, earnings, en-
ployment volume, profits and costs
involved in coal production will pro-
eeed with that understanding. Ref
erence was made to the exchange
of communications between the COM
mission. miners union officials and
representatives of operators which
has lessened the danger of the strike
prospect,
Six members of the compassion,
John Hays Hammond. chairman; DR..
George Otis Smith, former director of
the geological survey; Clark Howell,
editor of the Atlanta Constitution;
former Vice President Marshall,
Charles p NELL and DR.. Edward T.

TEACHER CLAIMS
RACHMAN|NOFF IS
GREATEST PIANIST

Rachmaninoff-the name itself in
spires respect from those who have
heard his operas. cantatas, chamber
music, his great symphony or his dis
tinctiye preludes for the piano. The
great pianist plays at the Jefferson
Monday evening. January %, under
the auspices of the Birmingham
Music Teachers association.
After hearing a recital the au-
dience cannot but have remarkable
admiration for him as a pianist. In
variably there is a tumult of en-
thusiastic acclaim when he plays the
massive List. the rhythmical and
enventive Chopin, the electric Doh
nanyi and the intense Rachmaninoff
with equal skill.
THE Chopin group is the test of
the all-round pianist" said one piano
teacher in Cable hall, land Rachma-
ninoff meets that test nobly. He is
undoubtedly the greatest pianist"

A MAN WHO BECAME.
FAMOUS

Doctor R. V. Pierce, whose pic
ture appears above, was not only a
successful physician but also pro-
found student of the medicinal
qualities of Natures remedies,
roots and herbs, and by close OBJ
servation of the methods used by
the Indians, he discovered their
great remedial qualities, especially
for weaknesses of women, and after
careful preparation succeeded in
giving to the world remedy which
has been used by women with the
best results for half century. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
still in great demand, while many
other so called "cure-alls" have
come and gone. The reason for it's
phenomenal success is because of
its absolute purity, and DR.. Pierce's
high standing as an honored citizen
of Buffalo is guarantee of all that
is claimed for the Favorite Prescrip-
ton as regulator for the ills pc
culiar to women.

"DR. JACK" AT STRAND
is GOOD, CLEAN FUN

Without plot or rhyme, but with
a reason. and that to make one laugh,
Or. Jack Harold Lloyd's latest
funny. began a weeks run at the
Strand Monday.
The reviewer has seen much criti-
cism for and against this picture,
and throwing all of it to one side
finds it good. clean fun. There may
be those critically inclined who will
find much "hokum" and slapstick in
DIR. Jack" but anyone who can as
consistently move from one situation
to another and make them all laugh
able as Lloyd does is much more than
slapstick comedian
In this play Lloyd appears as a
brash young doctor. whose prescrip-
lions are daughters and exercise, and
when he comes in contact with a
staid old dope peddling'' specialist
the fun begins.
The lot
Is of the attempts of the young
doctor to apply natural remedies to
