of nresetr retnyas earned by the great
anthracite coal companies.
"The ffitho.i asd structure of com

a matter rcvalcnf and vital to this
present controversy. Thorough investi- (
cation of this monopoly will reveal funds ,

"The anthracite industry has been
organized into a huge combination, a
monopoly very similar In structure to
an octopus. Its head nnd body are a
very small group of. banking interests.
Its entwining arms nre seven railway
systems which control nt their ex
tremities the anthracite mining opera
tions of the country. .
"The books of the cntfro conccrnj.of
the industry from mlno via rallroa.rto
final disposal by the sales corporation,
must bo examined before any one can
say just what nre the. profits derived
from anthracite.
"Our contention Is that such nn ex
amination of tho books of the anthracite
coal combination is essential to the
settlement of this controversy on the
basis of justice.
Claims Profits Are Concealed
"Thp point which wo wish to mnke
ts that n well-defined process exists by
which the profits of tho anthracite in
dustry are successfully concealed, the
high prices being explained by ap
parent high costs. '.Die losses of the
railroad coal companies are written into
the cost of transportation through ad
vances without Interest aud through the
funding operations which impose large
fixed charges upon the railroad depart
ment. "The high frcleht rates which such
Inflated transportation costs seem to
justify are written Into the cost of an
thracite nnd servo to bridge the gap
between tho mine cost and the high
prices which prevail."

Atlantic Gasoline
Is Clean
Thoroughly clean gasoline must be
more than crystal clear. It must be
free from acid and sulphur two
elements that pit and corrode metal.
Sticky compounds that gum the
valves should be entirely removed.
By advanced methods, Atlantic is
refined to absolute purity. It is all
gasoline. Every ounce is driving
power. Every drop burns. Carbon,
fouled spark plugs, and diluted oil
are reduced to a minimum.
Gasoline that is all power is all
mileage. Atlantic's extra miles spell
fuel E-C-O-N-O-M-Y to the major
ity of motorists.
Don't put the burden of poor fuel on
your motor. Give it the best. Feed
it Atlantic, and cut down the bulk
of your engine trouble. The Red
Pump is the sign of quality gasoline.
It invites you to tank up with
