BIG SALARIES

Since senatorial committee revealed the fact
that various Standard Oil officers getting salaries
of 500 600 year more there is tendency in
quarters to regard that scandal. 1t is not
sarily scandaous. 1t may be simply good business.
Some of the oil men may be drawing big pay be-
of personal financial influence, but in most
the chances that they paid well because
their directors think they worth it. If the Stand
ard Oil organization is known for thing more than
another, it is for business efficiency. The presump-
ton therefore is that the who receives from $780,
600 to $125000 year is producing the goods
tent justifying his reward. .
The same thing is true in other industries. Amer
lean business nowadays is done atremendous scale
An executive may have in his hands the management of
hundreds of millions of capital, and on his judgement
and skill may depend the production sale of hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of goods In such
old standards of compensation no longer apply.
1t is to be remembered too, that jobs of the kind
referred to highly competitive Even when an in
dustry may have virtual monopoly on the production
of any particular thing there monopoly of BRAIN
power within that industry. The in it are in COM
petition with each other for good positions and in
petition with outside. They have to make good
go.
The truth is that salaries are probably regulated
naturally and wisely by competition than prices
And that holds all the way down the line, in al
most any industry, from president to office boy.

which provides that the inauguration of the Pres

January following the November election The bill
now goes to the House for action where it is expected
to pass and in due time viii before the states

This is reform long indicated fer the good of the
country The evils resulting from the delay between

Congress, are too we'll known to need reviewing The
old system was evolved when slow methods of trans

changing of abodes necessarily slow process. No
such difficulties exist today and the remedy of
serious national ills lies in changing the procedure to

CONSTAITINoPLE, July a.
All Constantinople is en- fete today
in celebration of peace. The cere-
monies will last until the arrival of
Ismet Pasha from Lausanne on
July %.
All buildings are gaily decorated
and the warships in the harbor
bear flags in honor of the occasion.
The mosques and public buildings
will be illuminated every night until
the celebration ends.
There was a huge procession
through the streets Monday, after
which mass meeting was held. In
the recession were soldiers, gen
darmes, foot police, mounted police,
boy scouts, representatives of labor
unions, the military and naval
schools and hundreds Of professional
men. On each side of the streets
were thousands of Turkish war or
phans, whose future offers one Of
Turkeys biggest problem.
The only flaw in the rejoicing
was the refusal of the allies to
allow the Turkish cruiser Hamidieh
to go to the Golden Horn to fire
salutes as a signal when the sigma
lures are formally placed upon the
peace treaty at Lausanne.
Tomorrow all Mussulmans will as
semble in the mosques to offer up
prayers of thanksgiving and to pray
for those killed in the wars in which
Turkey has been engaged in the
past thirteen years.
Orders have been given that no
Mussulman shall remain absent
from these devotions.

JUMP IN PRICE
Of COAL WILL
BEFOUGHT
Consumers League Declares
Further D. c. Increase
Would Be Robbery.

Further increases in anthracite
coal prices in the District would
be robbery, despite the Coal Mer-
chants Board Of Trade report that
a shortage in this commodity is
in prospect. This is the answer
of the Coal Consumers League to
the dealers claims.
Plenty Of Soft Coal.
The merchants report was made
by Robert L. Lewis, whose resigna-
ton as secretary Of the body be.
comes effective August /. r. q.
Kinsinger, Public Utilities Commits
sion accountant, prominent in mu-
nicipal coal administration last win
ter, was elected to succeed Mr.. Lewis
by the executive board yesterday
when the report was received.
According to Lewis, an inspection
Of local coal yards showed a plenti-
full supply Of bituminous, but a
small stock of anthracite coal.
The consumers league denied that
a shortage exists at the mines, de-
claring that production has. been
the highest on record, with the ex-
ception of 1917 and 1913, when
mines were worked beyond their
normal capacity.
Louis F.. Post, president Of the
league, Secretary of Labor in the
Wilson cabinet. said that reports Of
the Geological Survey show q peak
production was attained during the
past several months at the mines.
He quoted figures, which he said
he had taken from The Coal Age,
to show that no increase in coal
prices at the mines justifies a retail
increase. Costs at the mines range,
per ton, from $6.15 to $50 for
anthracite. he said.
The merchants report, on the con-
trary, that anthracite prices vary
from $3.50 to $11 gross ton at
the mines.
Must Raise Price.
"It is very apparent" Lewis re-
port stated, that the dealer who
Is paying this price cannot afford
to sell coal at SIS or $3.50 and I,
therefore, look for a rise in the
retail prices by those dealers who
are forced to purchase any quantity
Of this high-priced fuel.
Few, If any, dealers are obtain.
ing sufficient anthracite to meet
the daily demands Of the house.
holders and the reasons, am In.
formed, for the present shortage in
this territory are that the dealers
are shipping large quantities into
the extreme northwest and into
Canada"
Post declared the league will con-
tinue to fight retail prices and to
continue its demand to inspect the
dealers books.
