little to choove between the contenders.
.Although there were hut four points

tures, (toiild was able to outgeneral his
Jess experienced opponent.
Oould ylttrd IiIn skill against the
speed of Soiitar who has been depend

When the players appeared on the

ponent wore flannel trousers and a

waa given a big oration.
Four sets of the challenge mntfh were
acheduled to 1 plnyed today and the

He not onh nicceeded, but each ,

ABUNDANT daylight is vitally neces
. sary in certain industries. Saw tooth
roofs provide ample lighting, but old lash
ioned construction wastes precious floor
space. The forest of posts used as supports
prevents placing machinery to advantage.
The Super-Span method of Saw Tooth
construction does not require a single pest
in a building 100 feet wide, of any length
required. This method may be used in any N
width with only one post every 6000 square
feet. In one instance a change to this form
of construction resulted in the installation
of 17 per cent, more machines.
The Super-Span method originated with
us and is used only in buildings constructed
under our supervision.

OPERATORS FIGHT
CALDER COAL BILL
J. D. A. Morrow Declares Excess
Profits Were Not Taken
During 1920 Shortage
$3.47 PER TON AT MINES
Hy tho Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 10, Opposition of
organized coal operators to the Calder
bill proposing federal regulation of tho
conl industry was voiced before tho Sen
ate manufacturers' committee today by
J. D. A. Morrow, vice president of the
National Coal Association. He prefaced
his argument on tiie bill with the state
ment that mine operators genorally had
not taken excess profits during the coal
shortage lost year.
"We have collected statistics upon
100,000,000 tons of production made
prior to October 1," ho said, "which
show the average selling price at the
mine to have been .$.1.47 a ton, and the
cost of producing $2.70. That left a
margin of ncveuty-ono cents, which
docs not represent profit, because the
overhead costs, depletion charges and
taxes have to como out of it."
The witness told the committee that
the figures would have been more com
plete, "except for the action of the
Calder committee in sending its agents
to take papers out of our office, which
with nttendnnt publicity, caused our
members to cense reporting." He added
that tha Department of Justice bad ulso
objected to the collection of cost statis
tics, regarding It us u method of price
fixing.
"Yet a system of collecting and pub
lishing coal cost statistics is exactly
the thing which this bill alms to bring
about," said Senator Reed.
The House wes expected to terminate
debato and pass a final verdict today
on tho reapportionment bill, proposing
nn increase (n the membership from 430
to 4S3. Five hours of discussion yester
day brought fourth such u storm of pro
test against the proposal that House
leaders freely predicted its defeat and
the adoption ot an amendment holding
the membership to Its present total.
Under tho amendment the House would
be reapportioned by shifting twelve
seats from eleven states to eight.
Tho agricultural appropriation bill
carrying .33,517,450 for the next, fiscal
year, $10,511 ,1)23 less than the csti
mates, wus reported today to the House.
Tho total exceeds that for the current
year by $l,b01.7G.

P.R.R.I0 CUT FORCE
All Classes of Employes to Be
Affected Seniority Rule
to Prevail
DROP IN FREIGHT REASON
Pennsylvania IUltrond forces of em
ployes will be further cut to conform
with the order of November Inst to
"retrench n operating expenses."
The latest order will bring the cut
to ft total of 20 tier cent lft nor rent
reduction having been made In Novem
ber, nn (ulditlonnl 10 per cent under
the Into order.
Jinking of the reduction Is puN
snuareiy up to tne discretion of heads
of departments and superintendents. All
classes of railroad employes nre affected j
ciciK. irninmen, ynnimen, shopmen
and maintenance of right of way men.
U. lie seniority rule will prevnll In the
ellmlnntlon of employes, nnd In tnnny
enses tho reduction will me made les
sening the numbci of hours of employ,
ment each week, rather than by dis
charge of the employe.
It Is figured that several hundred
clerks In Urond street station will bo
affected, nrnl that throughout tiie east
ern dhislon a totnl of 15,000 will either
lose employment or work ids hours per
week.
Fulling off in freight truffle of from
20 to 22 per cent from the penk hnul
nges of August and October, 1H20. Is
f;lven ns the reason. The compnny hns
"sued an official statumeu( covering the
changes, n follows:
"The option was given employes to
choose which method appealed to them.
ns it wns thought It would make fori
more stable conditions if the men would
work only five tlnys n week instead of
n large number being luld off to join
the ranks of the nnemployed."
Absolute economy is usage of mnto
rial from rubber bands und pencil stubs
in the clerical departments, to mntt-riul
in use on the roadways, have been is
sued, in furtherance of the economy
plan.
"No concerted action has bcou taken
by the Heading Hallway syhtem heads
to luv off workers but several mouths
ago about 1000 men were laid off. Divi
sion superintendents over the entire
system were instructed to brnr in mind
nt all times tho policy of rigid economy,
and to eliminate all men whose services
were not absolutely necessary. Re
trenchment over tho entire system U the
watchword of the Heading Hallway."
