MONTREAL, Quebec, Sept. ff.-
The reaetionary machine Of the Broth

rather sorry they did so. For altho
the big majority went to FinAn, the
left wing showed a surprising
strength and the machine was rather

Finan was the only official not

is given warning not to advance any

Seven railroads, the Pennsylvania,

Rock Island and N. Y. c. jointly own
ers of land between Polk and 18th

they could not go ahead with termin-

not afford the cost of that job.
A report by citizens committee
appointed to look into the matter was
sent to the railroads and Mayor Dever
yesterday, which shows that huge
land gains will be made by the rail-
roads. The cost of river straighten-
ing is estimated at $S,400,00o while
the gain would enable the railroads to
afford the expenditure Of $4,55O,Oo0.

LIGHT OF DAY

COAL FINDINGS
Anthracite Report to
Emerge from ObScurity
BY LAURENCE TODD
Federated Press STAR Correspondent

Federated Press star Correspondent
WASHINGTON -(FP)- w. Jstt
Laueks summary analysis Of the an
thracIte monopoly prepared for the
U. S. Coal Commission and submitted
to that body with two large typewrft-
ten volumes Of text on March %, 1928,
is at last to be accepted by the COM
mission and made a part Of Its five
volume report, which Will be publish
ed In October.
Only the summary analysis, how
ever, will appear; the two volumes
showing how the anthracite monopoly
was formed and of what it is COM
posed, how it works and who gets
the benefit of its exactions, will not
be permitted to reach the public.
In the commissions own words,
printed at the head of the summary;
"The commission considered the docu-
ments prepared by Lauck as prelimin-
airy studies for its personal guidance
in advance of the completion Of its
own original Investigations rather
than as staff reports prepared for pub
location. The commission did not
adopt these documents as part of its
own findings, but transmitted them
along with its own reports for the in
formation of congress. The committee
on printing decided not to print them
in full because Of the large cost in
volved... The complete text Of the
report with supporting appendices
may be examined in the files of the
commission on application to the
director of the geological survey"
The fact is that the commission
made no original investigations" of
its own as to the anthracite monopoly,
and the Lauck report was unwelcome
in that meaningless document.
In his summary, Lauck says that the
monopoly and other conditions which
have been condemned and ordered
dissolved by the supreme court" (but
which have not really been changed
to any extent) include the concentra-
ton in ownership and control of coal
reserves by the railroads traversing
the different anthracite fields; deve-
lopment of a community of interest
between the seven coal-carrying rail
road systems in the anthracite region;
imposition of large issues of watered
stock and other unwarranted capital
I charges upon the industry; conceal
ment of excessive monopoly profits
thru multiple corporations; fiscal con
troll of anthracite by the Morgan bank
| ing interests and their allies, who
have apportioned the anthracite traf-
fic among the seven railroads; extern
sion of the combination to retail trade,
thru a corporation created to direct
retail distribution in Boston, New
York and Chicago.
He then analyses the failure of so
years of attempts to legally dissolve
the anthracite combine, and declares
that under existing laws the trust is
secure. ssle

AT THE CAPITOL

Douglas Fairbanks, in the most
amazing and spectacular screen pro-
duction yet known to the world,
"The Thief of Bagdad,' at the Cap
itol Theatre tonight. So much has
been written of the astonishing and
astounding occurrences depicted in
this picture, that perhaps not enough
has been written about the charm
ingly romantic love story of the
Thief and the Princess. 1t is said
that the famous Doug has never
made love more ardently than in
the scenes with the Princess. Hav-
ing first climbed up the Magic Rope
to reach the Harem and, chastened
by love, he reveals to her the fact
that he is in reality an imposter.
Julanne Johnston, who impersonates
the Princess, is one of the most
beautiful leading women Mr.. Fair
banks has played opposite to in his
long career as screen star. She
brings to the role added grace and
charm, gained through her expert
ence as one of the famous Morgan
Dancers. Some of the outstanding
features are the Magic Carpet, on
which the Thief and the Princess soar
over the housetops and into the sky;
The Winged Horse, mounted on
which the Thief dashes into and
through the clouds; The Miraculous
Seed which, when thrown on the
ground, creates huge army from
nothingness; The Forest Of Enchant-
ed Trees; the Cloak of Invisibility,
which the Thief uses to cover him
self and the Princess so that they
may escape the soldiers of the Mon
gol Prince; and yet aside from all
these wonders, which no one would
heretofore have thought possible on
the screen, there will be found the
living dragon in the Marvellous Val
ley Of Monsters, The Crystal Realm
beneath the sea, the Flight of the
Thousand Stairs, and the astonishing
Cavern of Fire.
