Why Palmer Has Tailed It is for this reason that in my dis patch of yesterday T stated that the attorney general's plan is inoperative under food ndininistratiou methods that made the organization in Pennsylvania the greatest success in the country. I'nder the operation of the federal food administration where stnte officials, county administrators, and hundreds of minor officials volunteered their services, certuin ncessary expenses such as office rent, stenographers, postage, printing, traveling nud incidentals, were partly paid by the Pennsylvania committee of public safety and council of national defense. There is no such orenniza- tion iu existence now and no state funds available lor such purpose. Government assistance is out of the question, because thore hns been no ap propriation made for tho purpose. It is like a law which describes a crime but tails to provide a penalty. Tedious Legal I)elns The idea of renortinir vinlntinnc tn the United States district attorney is a drawback sufficient 0 dampen the ardor of the most enthusiastic volunteer. There would be investigations, grand jury nnuings Hnu everything but an assurance of prompt action. There would be the prospect of interminable delays, and in the end. possibly, u nolle pros or indefinite continuance. It is an uupleasant condition to con template. Profiteering is rampant. Yet one may search the newspapers in vain for the record of a prosecution of u profiteer, though the chaparal around Philadelphia is full of them. Who shnll decide who and what is a profiteer? I'nited States District Attorney Francis Fisher Kane, of Philadelphia, for the eastern district of Pennsylvania? Where is his force of expert accountants and exuminers such as were assembled under the di rection of Herbert G. Stockwell, of Philadelphia, chief, of the division of audits in the food administration, whoso men came down like the locusts of Egypt on the books of corporations, firms and individuals suspected of profiteering and fairly ate up figures to discover the truth? It was possible for them, to deter mine who were the profiteers, Who will do that work now? How will Francis FHher Kane, or oven the at torney general of the United States himself, determine without examination of books and accounts to the satlsUc tion of a jury who la or yvho is not guilty of profiteering under the law? . zs.iHfmiu:t&!.

"We gave 1000 tickets to one store agency to sell to its usual run of cus tomers, and under very careful scrutiny and supervision it sold all its tickets to "i00 people, that is two to each person. Of course, there were some speculators who got some of those tickets, and thnt is almost to be expected.

When questioned us to the number of tickets he had disposed of, the manager of the stand replied, "we never have more than twenty on baud at any time." When questioned about the names of the students from whom he purchnsed the tickets he replied thnt he "couldn't cxnctlv say just who they were." lie is a licensed dealer.

" U. S. Reaches Coal Wage Decision Continued lom Ine Ono I about tho matter because the income tax returns sneuk for themselves. "You state that the bituminous coal operators will welcome the publication "( Jllft ns '"" current tax returns for 1C btun,n0UH coaI imiustry nB nrc published for any other industry. The nublleation of returns for nnv other in- dustry hag nothing to do with this case. Coal is vital to the llfo of the American people and basic to every industry in this country. "Before the coal operntors nrc per mitted to incrense the price -of coal, which would mean taking toll from every factory, every industry, every business and from every domestic lire side in America, it should be clearly demonstrated that the increase is jus tified. t'nder the lnw the secretary of the Treasury may publish these returns with the President's permission and I hope for the sake of the American public that such publication will be made. I am convinced thnt the increased wages proposed by Secretary Wilbon for the mine workers are just and reasonable because they equalize tho miners' wnges with the present, increased cost of liv ing as shown by Secretary Wilson's figures. "I ignore the offensive tone of your telegram because neither personalities nor questioning of motive should be permitted to obscure the issue. I am not surprised, moreover, that you think it bad taste for me us n private citizen to i'.vpress my opinion upoh an impor tant question concerning the general public, hut even a private citizen has as much right us mine owners to express his opinions in free America. "The long suffering public has n right to be beard and considered. I shnll never hesitate so long ns I have a voice to raise it in behalf of the pub lic whenever I think It proper to do so." CHURCHES ASK U. S. TO PROTECT MINERS New York, Nov. 2C. -The commis sion on the church nnd social service of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America today issued a statement calling 011 the government to protect coal miners agiiinst exploita tion by opeiators since by injunction it hns denied them the right tn strike. The statement, issued by the Rev. Worth M. Tippy, executive secretary, reviews the' strike situation, asserts miners nt present earn au uveruge wage of less than $2.'! a week, and adds: "In the matter of hours, the miners' position is very much misunderstood. When they are working the full eight hours, which their agreement contem plates, and their time is counted only while they are actually at the place of woik. their day is exceedingly long. "Then come periods of unemploy ment due largely to the inadequacy of transportation facilities and to the seasonal demand for coal, when their earnings fall off very considerably. They wish to regulate their hours of employment nnd have stated that they are willing to negotiate in order to determine the number of hours needed to produce the uecessn. amount of coal. "If the strike cannot be tolerated because the strength of those who use it has become so great ns to consti tute a public peril, theu the govern ment must find a way lo secure its workers against exploitution, to guar antee an adequate hearing of demands, and to secure wages and hours of work Unit, will make possible 1111 American standard of living."

" uw.i.wi END TROLLEY FARE Zl New Jersey Utility Board Asked to "Abolish Present System HARDSHIP, SAY EMPLOYES Newark, N. J., Nov. 20. Safety, justice and service demand the abolish ment of tho fnrc-zorio system, spokes men for the trolley union told the utility board today. Questions asked by L. Kdward Hermann, counsel for tho com mission, indicated that the board is about to compel tho installation of ticket-issuing devices. "With surh devices," he asked, "would there still be objections?" "I believe so. Anything that takes up time Is impracticable," answered William C. Wcpner, the union presi dent. He suggested that if the zone scheme were retained n Hat faro should be charged every three zones, and the first collection be on boarding the rear platform. Trolleymen Make Protest Harry Jones, of Patersou, testified that collisions between wagons and trolley cars had increased" during Sep tember and October nnd would likely increase further in the winter months ns n result of the extra work put on motormen by the new system. He pointed out the hardship nnd delay that would be caused if the motorman had to tnke off bis gloves every few minutes to issue zone checks. The conductors' objections arc based nn the fact thnt they are now held responsible for mistakes of the public and motormen. David Grottai president of the New ark Board of Trade, was permitted to rean a resolution accepted by tho di rectors asking thnt the board Kafcsruurd the public utilities of tho state and commending the board for its decisions. Mr. Grotta said the public wanted tne uituitics preserved nnd those who opposed fair rates were notoriety seek ers. The board thanked him as part of the audience unnlauded. Arthur Appleton, of West Hobokcn, testified: "I could bring you to parts of Hud son county whcie forty men a day doa't pay fares. Cars have been wrecked and thu crews abused. Never have the motormen und conductors been so abused by the public. If the radicals bad their way there wouldn t be any curs run ning today. The older men are all think ing of quitting-" Motorman Tells of Troubles The Public Service Railway took no part in the hearing The trolley men were cross-examined by Mr. Hermann and the commissioners. Commissioner Wright asked what the men thought oi a sysirm wnercuy tne passenger would get on at the rear, tell the conductor how far he was going, nav his fare and receive an identification check, this cuecK 10 ne surrendered when leaving ui ine rear. .lonn ivramcr, seventeen rears n inotcrirnn and a former instructor, said that he has refused to instruct since the zone system went into effect. Like other witnesses. Kramer testified that the worry over chnuging zone checks and in dicators was constantly on his mind and hindered the safe operation of the car. M alone Angrily Assails Prober Ctntlnued From Paite One trninload of "Beds" he said, anar chistic papers and literature hnd been circulated on the island. Chairman Johnson introduced into evidence letters seized from Mr. Howe's files. One. dated October S, 1015. was addressed to "Fred Howe" and signed "Emma Goldman." It dealt with the case of Joseph Goldberg, alias Joseph Du'raiit nnd "Petit Joe" who, Mr. Johnson said, records of the department of labor showed had been engaged in white slave traffic for several years before his arrest in Los Angeles. According to the Goldman letter, Goldberg hnd been recommended to the writer by "David Kaplan" and a man named Schmidt "of whom you have beard from Lincoln Steffens." Members of the committee alsontro duced a letter alleged to have been written by Howe to George Andreyt chine. Department records showed, ac cording to Mr. Johnson, that Andreyt chine had been arrested in Duluth on the charge of being nn I. AV. W. rioter. The Howe letter congratulated the al leged I. W.

Goorgo W. and Murdoch Konr drick Each Wants Other to Be President CLUB NOW WITHOUT LEADER' A complicated election in which two brothers figured in tho choice for preal' dent of the Mask nnd Vfiz Club of the University of Pennsylvania, proved futile, for George W. Kendrick, 3d, has sent his resignation to the club. The theatrical clnb which has planned an ambitious program remains without an executive head and in all probability another election will be necessary, mem bers sny. The resignation of Mr. Kendrick who is a partner in the firm of B. W. Clark & Co.. 321 Chestnut street, is necessary because he has not leisure to serve the club properly. Murdoch Kendrick was the choice of the ' nominating committee and his name was placed on the ballot of the club. Ten davs before the election un- . identified persons attached the name of ueorge . Kendrick, 3d, to the ticket 'as candidate for tho same office. On the evening of the election, No vember 12, only one of the brothers was present, Murdoch, noticing the absence of Mb brother, declined to accept the i nomination and asked that his name be withdrawn. Accordingly, George Ken drick, being the only other nominee, was unanimously elected. George Kendrick, after the election declared he had purposely stayed away because he didn t want the position. "Murdoch ought to have it." he said. The business duties of George Kend rick make it almost impossible for him to serve as head of the club, it is said. He is absent from the city much of each week. As n result Mask and ig remains without a president. "Mask and Niggers say that un doubtedly .Murdoch Kendrick will be the chief executive when things are ar justcd. He was originally the choice of the nominating committee. Although the allnlrs of tne OUtK and Wig are closely followed by rlr tually all the undergraduates at Penn and a great majority of the thousands of graduates. W. Murdoch Kendrick refused to discuss the subject today because, he said, "it does not concern the public." Mr. Kendrick was told his brother had resigned as president of the club. "Is that so?" he said. When asked if he would accept the office, he said : "Now, I won't talk about that at all. It is n matter that interests only mem, bers of the club, and does not con-1 ccrn the public. The only persons who possibly could be interested are the members and possibly the undergrad uates. I won't say n thing nbout it.
