The only right answer, of course,

they shall do neither.
Let them tell the exact truth, as
the best qualified experts find
truth, and leave the students to dc
their own moralizing. In fact, if
they can draw the moral that the
truth is more essential than con-
clusion sustaining "either" sideot
anything, they will have learned pre-
Icisely the most vital of modern mo-

INJUNCTION. OF

AGAINST STRIKE
Lewis Lawyers Make a
Plea of 1914 Change


WHEELING, w. Va. May s. The
West Virginia-Pittsburgh Coal com
pany was charged here with fraudu'
lently imposing on the United States
district court in bringing contempt
proceedings against seventeen mem
bers of the United Mine Workers Of
America for alleged violation OF an in
junction against unionization Of the
company's mines in Northern. West
Virginia.
Claim 1918 Injunction Modified In 1914
In responsive plea entered by Van
A. Bittner, international organizer for
the union, it was charged that the or
der prepared by the coal company's
counsel and submitted to Judge Will.
lam Baker on July 10, making perma'
nently effective the restraining order
signed by the late Jud ge Aston Day
ton on Dec. 2, 1918. failed to take any
account of the modification of the or
iginal injunction made by the United
States circuit court OF appeals for the
fourth district.
Judge Baker, before whom the con
tempt proceedings are being tried, was
asked to set aside his own injunction
decree, which is the basis of the
charges against the defendants.
Same Plea for All.
This defensive counter-attack brot
an early close to the proceedings,
which were adjourned until argu-
ments of the coal company's counsel
will be heard in rebuttal of the un-
ions charges.
1t was announced by the union at
torneys that the pleas OF all the defen-
dants would be similar to that made
for Mr.. Bittner.
Lawful Union and Non-Violent Pick

The modification order granted by
the appellate court quoted by the de-
PENDANTS, is said to have been issued
on May 2s, 1914. AS read by the union
attorneys it provided that Judge Day
toms injunction of Dec. 1, 1918, was
not to be understood as preventing
the employees Of the West Virginia
Pittsburgh Coal company from joining
any lawful union or from receiving
unemployment benefits, and further,
that it prevents no member Of labor
union from endeavoring to persuade,
without violence any worker to dis
continue work in the mines Of the
company.

Native Graphite Cheaper.

Native Graphite Cheaper.
The deposits lie very favorably for
ready exploitation and cheap water
transportation can be used for a good
part of the year, so that this high
grade graphite could be sold in Len

100 pounds, whereas imported gra.
phite of equal quality sells in these
cities at about s14.O0 per 100 pounds.

With the exception of one deposit
in the Alapayevska region, operated

In 1923, this trust turned out 100000

which were exported.

prOuLS.
Almost 100 Per Cent in Five Years.
Average annual profits Of various
types of steel corporation for the four
year period are shown as follows:
~ companies controlling production
from raw materials to finished prod
ducts, 21.9 per cent; (2) companies
beginning with the making Of pig iron,
24.5 per cent; (3) companies begin
ming with the making of steel, 1852
per cent; and az companies simply
rolling steel products, 36.S per cent.
The U. S. Steel corporation is shown
separately with an average return of
1872 per cent on its total investment
including capital stock, bonds and
surplus.
These figures give the false impress
sion that the big corporations like y.
S. Steel were less notorious profteers
than the small hangers-on Of the in
dustry. The real nature Of their pro-
fits is concealed by their overcapitali-
cation.
Hall Billion of Water.
A true estimate of rate Of return on
u S. Steel investment would elimin-
ate the $50S,OOO, 900 common stock al
together. For it was originally all
water and has value today only be-
cause Of the surplus profits which
have been invested in physical plant.
This means that the commissions re-
port really counts this half billion
dollars twice in reckoning the invest
ment Making this correction increas-
es the corporations rate of return to
23.5 per cent. 1t would be further
increased if allowance could be made
for all the investment in resources for
future production not actually neces-
sary to current activity.
The. commission found cost of pro-
duction much lower in the big in
elusive corporations. In 1918 the cost
of producing shear plates in these
larger concerns was $5201 while in
the others 1t ranged around $40 a ton.
The cost of all rolled steel products
averaged about Is per cent lower in
corporations controlling production
from raw material to finished product
Juggling Figures On Profit
To find why these low cost combines
showed lower rate of profit the com
mission investigated the investment
per ton of steel produced. 1t found
the investment per ton comparatively
high in the big trusts. 1t says: High
average investment per unit appears
to explain in large part the lower
profits of Glass (the integrated)
companies"
This shows how, by overcapitaling
big monopolies the exorbitant rate of
return on real investment in conceal
ed, because the profit is spread over
an excessive number of stocks and
bonds.

COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
REPUDIATES HOME TOWN

Of course we are all familiar, or
should be, with story of the cock
growing reminding Peter that for the
third time he had denied all knowl
edge of the Lord, but it is seldom in
those modern days that man is so
utterly ashamed of his home town
that he will not admit residence in it.
Yet this is what actually happened
a couple of weeks or so ago, when
Newark man, and a public official
too, at that, who while taking a little
vacation in the northwest in reply to
the question from new-made friends
as to where he hailed from replied
"from Newark, Ohio," and in answer
to the inquiry if that was not the
town in which the city officials were
pulling each others hair and raising
h generally, said he really didn't
know as he had not been there for
several years.
Does it not seem that when a life
long citizen and the holder of an i'm
portant public office is ashamed to
ADMIT residence in the town of his
birth because of it's notorious repu-
tation, that the time is opportune for
a complete and decided change in the
management of it's affairs?
If the people want such a change
the time will shortly present itself
when they can express their opinion
in no uncertain terms.
Will they do so?
