SUGGESTS RAISING FUND
TO PROBE COAL GOUGERS
Rivcrton Water Company Official Believes Public Should
Follow Revelations Made by Colonel McCain
Establishment of a prfaate fund to
lay bore all the fact" bearing on the
present high cost ot coal so that the
profiteers In the coal Invlnutry may be
smoked out, was advocated today by
R. W. Knight, trcanurcr of the nlver
ton and Palmyra Water Oo.
Mr. Knight raid hU company wan
willing to contribute to such a fund.
He suggested tDat coal users could con
tribute In nronortlon to tho amount of
coal they use.
Mr, Knight said he was sure that
hundreds of other business men be
lieved like him that "there Is some
thing seriously wrong somewhere" In
toe present situation
A nwcepirw; Investigation, he be-
Ilevos, would rompel nctlon on the part
of Attorney Central Palmer's office,
no that coal prices might be put on a
rcasonablo basis.
Mr. Knight commended tho scries
of articles on the coat situation
bv Colonel George Nox McCain in the
KvKirmo Punuo LEBOKn.
"Colonel McCain Is evidently getting
at the root of the matter." he said.
"I would like to suggest a fund for the
employment of investigators and coun
sel so that all the facts may be re
vealed. "If exorbitant profits by middlemen
were shown, governmental action
should result that would cut down the
costs to consumers."

Disorders have again broken out nt

son, n minor, has been ambushed and
killed, according to information which
reached here today. One arrest haa been
mudV In connection with the shooting.
A strlko against the "open shop"
was called at the mine two years ago,
und later the fan house was blown up.
Soon after the liousa occupied by a

William Copenhaver, vraa shot but not
seriously wounded, and a little later
nnothor miner was attacked. Efforts

"There may bo here and there In

whero the mine hsd been operated on a
very narrow margin of profit, In which
tlic $l-n-ton nilvnnce might not bo un

have to bo developed by Investigation."
Duto of Probo Not Sot
Attorney (ienrr.-il Palmer did not Bay
when the Drn.irtinont of Justlcn would
jglvu its nttontlon to tlin profiteering
operators. Not at least till thn present
excitement ami uncertainty in the region
ttHHtieti.
The whole anthracite situation is in
Hi etute of flux It will be wehs before
conditions are straiehteiicd out. When
Mhat time conies Mr. Pu liner will have
tliu matter mndo the stiPJect of federal
luvestlgutloQ.
Action by the attorncv general in
the bituminous foul trade, to which
lie referred as a criterion for action in
ilia unlhrucltn trude, was undertaken
lato In July ami Aucust. A condition
almost amounting to puuic existed in
tho bituminous buslneis. There was
reckless pyrnmlding of pi Ices and
profits. Wholesalers were making all
sorts of money.
An investigation was Instituted by
the Department ot Justice, iu which
thn findings tallied with tho facts as
stated above. Theroupon the attornoy
general issued instructions to all United
Stntm district attorneys to carefully
scrutinize all bituminous coal trade
transaction with a vlow to nrosecu
tlons In fiilerul courts under the Lev or
act.
Sees Trouble Ahead-
I inn of the opinion that General
Palmer will expcricnca n. vast Amount
of difficulty In forcing the anthracite
operators to give up tho vast sums falten
from tlin people. If lie can get "(Jin
dead wood" on one or two the rest will
bo easy. The moral effect of ono rigor
ous prosecution would be mighty ef
fective.
It would seem thnt a simplo statement
of what one company paid out as back
mi tn lis miners would be conclusive
evidence that the remainder in Its bonds
belonged to the people from whom it
wn rnki-n. It would then be Hlmply
n case of restitution instead of a prose
cution. Anvhow there nre not, T believe,
enough conditions unalygous to the an
thracite trade in tbo bituminous sit
uation, which General Palmer cleared
up, to give a working basis. The bitu
minous operators asked tho Department
of Justice to investigate their trado or
rnrtnln nf tu IllCinDCrg. U.110 UCDOri-
meiit of Justice would wait till the crack
of doom befoio the anthracite operators
would osk to be Investigated.
All their efforts for years have been
to dodge investigations, avoid htatc-
menhj as to profits, resales and methods
of bookkeeping. They aro artful dodg
era all right.
Here are two of the Items of the pro'
gram adopted by the bituminous men to
aid the attorney general to purge that
Industry of crooked dealers and prof
ltecrs:
First. That atl members of the whole
sale bituminous coal'trado "hall be re
quested and urged to sign a pledge not
to take part in the purchase or sale of
bituminoun coal whero the same has
passed through tho hands of more than
one other wholesale house. (In this con
nection a sales agency of an operating
company is regarded ss a wholesaler.)
Second. It la recommended to the
members of tbo wholesale coal trade thnt
the gross maximum margin of profit be
10 per cont on the invoice price at the
place of sale.
Third. The committee constitutes
Itself n grievance committee and Invites
the public and members of the trade to
present to it facts concerning tho
abiiscB, which it will Investigate fully
nnd use every measure within Its powcf
to correct.
Is Frankly Skeptical
Can any person Imagine tho anthracite
coal tradn membership as at present
constituted, and Judged simply by their
pnst, pledging itself to such a program?
It would be almo'st taniible evidence
that the millennium was ready to break,
or flic golden ngo has come bock again.
It Is for these reason' that I am
fninkh skeptical of Mr. Palmer's plan.
It "111 take too much time to inesti
gutc books, bring in witnesses, examine)
cults sheets. It would be more effective
to get the statistics iu the ense oh far
us possible, then notify the operators
that probecutlons would follow unless
there was a return ot the money, and
the money would be forthcoming.
Ohioan Says G. 0. P.
Has Paid Collectors
Continued from Pace One
against local cotamlmttees and then
said:
"lint these local organizations were
largely 'scenery.' Tho real worker for

"Well, Mr. Upham can give you the

Moore. He then named Johiv Kclley.

A "battalion of moppers-up" Is also

Mr. Moore said that ono of these
"moppers up" was A. A. Protxman, of

that another, Edmund Btlverbrand, of
Youngstown, hod left town nfter ho hnd
