Ultimate Test of Coal / T*HE coal consumer is confronted to-day ; A with conditions greatly different than of a few years ago. At one time, coal was just coal. But to-day', in the light of modern re search, there are amazing differences re vealed in the various kinds and their uses. Sun-Glo Coal was selected for our customers after many tests covering a long period of years. From every min ing region is taken several qualities of coal, good, ordinary, and inferior. , Sun-Glo Coal is the best coal from the following districts: Wilkes-Barre, Lehigh, Nanticoke, Mahanoy, Lykens, Lincoln, Brooksidc, etc. We operate two coal yards in this city—that's why we can carry so many kinds. ' Test out for yourselves Sun-Glo Coal so you may determine the kind you should store for next winter. United Ice & Coal Co. stß - Hummel * Mulberry ihlrd & Boas IS & Chestnut Sts. Also Steelton, Pa. ' RTONDAY EVENING, 1 TO PLAN CAMPAIGN FOR LOCAL OPTION Plans for the campaign In behalf of the loeal option law for Pennsyl vani'a will be outlined here to-morrow and preparations made for organiza tion of the whole state after the hear ing at the Capitol on the Vlckerman bill. The State Ix>cal Option Committee, composed of men from every county in the state, will hold Its annual meet ing in Parlor.A, Commonwealth Hotel, at 7.30 p. m. Chairman O'Neil and the executive committee have worked out a plan which will bo submitted to the state committee for ttielr approval. It provides for an organization in every county in the state on practical lines for the purpose of bringing about the following: Conduct an educational campaign for the purpose ol' inducing all "dry'' voters to register and vote at primary and general elections. To arrange for a convention of dele gates from all organizations in the state that are opposed to saloons so that they will all work in harmony. To name a cinmittee for the pur pose of enlisting manufacturers and all employers of labor who are op posed to the saloons from a viewpoint of economy and safety first so that they will work in harmony with other organizations. To name a campaign committee who will co-operate with the county com mittees and see that candidates are nominated for Senate and H9u.se who are for local option, state prohibition and also pledged to ratify national prohibition when submitted by Con gress. Chairman O'Neil said that the com mittee may not succeed at this ses sion, but "that the people will be in formed what the real conditions are and why the members of the Legis lature deny the people the right to vote upon the question of saloons or no saloons."

BOY MURDERER TO GET RETRIAL The State Supreme Court at Philadel phia to-day handed down a decision granting- a new .trial In the case of Ernest Haines, the Jefferson county youth convicted of first degree mur der with Henry Ward Mottern, also of Jefferson, for the killing of Haines' father. The cases of the two youths attracted much attention here as they were be fore the State Board of Pardons for three months last fall and recommenda tions for clemency were refused. Coun sel for the two then took an appeal to the Supreme Court, seeking a new trial. While this was pending Governor Brumbaugh withdrew the death war rants for the electrocutions, respites having been previously granted. When the warrants were withdrawn the Gov ernor stated that he would await pend ing legislation to abolish the death pen alty. Sentiment in Jefferson county, which' was against the boys when they were convicted, Is reported as now much op posed to their execution.

The extra ordinary results attained by the Beth lehem Steel Corporation last year are made especially emphatic when com parisons are made with years preced ing the outbreak of the war. The pamphlet report for 1918 issued shows net profits amounting to $61,717,309, which were more than si xand one half times greater than 1914 and more than seven and one-half times larfees than the net in 1915. Compared with 1915, a year in which war orders helped, the Bethlehenvs Income ac count last year showed a total more than two and one-half times larger. The corporation had a balance of 143,595,988 available for dividends, equal to $286.30 per share of com mon stock, compared with $17,762,812 the year before and $5,122,703 in 1913. The corporation's current assets on December 31 amounted to $86,763,814 and current liabilities were $50,420,- 468, leaving a net working capital of $36,343,346. Through the sale of $15,000,000 stock at par and $50,000,- 000 two-year notes recently the work ing funds were increased to approxi mately $100,000,000. The average number of employes last year was 47,- 013, compared with 22,06 4 the year be fore. ages and salaries last year amounted to $51,499,773, against $"21.- 800,664 in 1915. Charles M. Schwab, chairman, takes opportunity in the annual statement to describe at length the bonus system, which the steel man credits us an im portant factor in Bethlehem's success. It is understood that E. G. Grace, president of the corporation, received $1,000,000 in bonuses last year. The report discussed the purchase of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, the Lehigh Coke Company, the American Iron and Steel Company, and the properties of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company, formerly a subsidiary of the Lackawanna Steel Company. The acquisition of these concerns, Mr. Schwab said, greatly widened the di versity of Bethlehem products and in creased output in numerous important lanes.
