COAL COSTS CUT
BY STEADY MINING
Commission Reports $1.20 to
$3.50 a Ton Bituminous
Operators Burden.

A ton of bituminous coal costs a
mine operator between $1.2O and $3.50,
the United States Coal Commission
reported to President Coolidge today,
submitting the latest installment of
its report on the industry in compli-
ance with instructions from Congress
The coal study was based on sta
tistics from 2S6 mines located in four
states and covered operations iE 1919.
which was selected because conditions
throughout that year were considered
approximately uniform.
Examining in detail the several fac
tors which made for differences in
cost of coal delivered at the mine
mouth, the commission listed S,eai!-
ness OF operations and certainty Of
car supply as important.
Fun-TTme Advantage.
The advantage and economy of
full-tiTne operation is clearly indi-
Gated" the report said. "As between
two similar mines, each having a cost
Of production of $3.50 per ton If
working twenty-five days per month.
the mine which enjoys the best
working time under conditions of car
shortage and a strong market for
coal, will make the larger profits be-
cause of lower cost; or, under condi-
tionS of poor market, one may un-
0erSelt Ine ana TeallEe a
because with more days worked the
cost will be lower.
Taking again a base cost of S2.5o
per ton for full-time (tWenty- five days)
operation it is found that when work
ing twenty days (five days per week)
there was no difference; when work
ing sixteen days four days per week)
the difference was negligible, 2 "a cents
a ton; when working twelve days
(three days per week. the difference
was 10 cents per ton; and when
working eight days (two days per
week) the difference was Is cents per
ton. One day per week brought the
difference up to 40 cents. per ton.
There is thus no notable difference
in unit cost of production caused by
short-time operation whether this
broken time be due TO lack of trans
portation or lack of market.
Reduction In Base Cost.
"The real difference enters in the
reduction in. the base cost. which can
and quite generally is reduced in
times of inactive demand.
TT may be inquired, in view of this
factor of cost of idle times, what ef-
feet on the country's coal 'bill the
fact may have had that in the past
twenty years the soft coal mines
have worked an average of but 220
days, or about ~ per cent of full
time. If the price paid by the con-
sumer were cost Of production or a
direct function of cost, then the an
swer would De that the total cost to
the country was about per cent
more than il would have been if few
mines were working full time has
produced this coal"

M|X-UP OF SIGNALS
BLAMED IN WRECKS
DeStroyers Misunderstood
Collision Warning of DeIphy,
Seaman Explains.

SANTA BARBARA, Calf, Septem-
ber 12.-All attempts to recover
bodies of a score of seamen drowned
in the wreck of seven destroyers at
Point Honda last Saturday night vir-
tually are at a standstill. The list
of bodies recovered stands unchanged
since Monday, three having been
brought to the morgue here. One is
unidentified.
Further questioning of survivors
confirmed the belief of officers en-
pressed yesterday that no bodies are
left in the sunken hulk of the Young
All survivors are positive that the
vessels were searched before being
abandoned and that the missing men
were lost when they jumped over
board or took to life RATS.
A new explanation of the piling up
of the seven boats was offered yes
terday by one of the survivors. a chief
Quartermaster.
The sixteen vessels of the squadron
were travelling in formation of two
columns, the petty officer asserted
When the Delphy, in the lead. struck
the rocks, she started her siren sig
of their actual position, the command
ers of the other vessels took the
signal to indicate a collision at sea
Following the procedure designated
for such occasion the vessels in the
left column of the formation swerved
sharply to port. The right-hand
column made the same maneuvre to
starboard. Those which swerved to
the right escaped while the vessels
going to port piled up on the rock
in almost solid mass. The explana-
ton was confirmed by officers as
probably the correct one.
An additional detail of twenty-five
men from the u. S. S. Melville was
set ashore today to join the force of
twenty men watching for bodies
which may be washed up from the
wreck. These men are being fed and
clothed by relief organizations of
Santa Barbara and by the Santa
Barbara chamber of commerce.

Farmers Should Receive -
Better Prices for Wheat.

Wheat farmers everywhere are
entitled to and should receive fully
so cents more a bushel for their
wheat than they are getting,
measured by the price index of
the principal commodities. Foreign
wheat markets have nothing to do
with the justice of this claim. The
farmer does not buy what he con.
sumes on the basis of foreign
values; neither can he longer sup
ply domestic consumers on that
basis and live. No man, for long,
can afford or will continue to put
his labor and his means into pro-
ducing a product tnat not only
returns him nothing but takes
from him what he has. That is
the meaning behind the desertion
of the farm by more than two
million farmers in one year.

Chief Joseph An
Indian Military Genius,

Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces
Indians, is conceded to have pos
sessed the greatest military mind
of all Indians. He came into ma
tional prominence in 1873, when
the government ordered the Nez
Perces to vacate their lands in
Oregon and Idaho and move to a
reservation in the State of Wash,
ington. The Indians protested.
Although Chief Joseph counseled
peace, war was declared. Then
the chief ambushed the soldiers
sent against his trlbesmen. Later
he met larger force under Gen
eral O. 0. Howard at Clearwater.
He was forced to retreat through
the Lobo Trail, one of the first on
the continent. He had the women
and children of tie tribe with him.
Three months of fighting and re-
treating followed.
In a battle at Snake Creek, Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles stampeded
the ponies of the tribe, which
made the Indians practically help
less. A charge on the Indian
camp failed, and terms of surren-
der were arranged.
