PROBE INTO COAL PRICES WILL BE MADEBY STATE Governor Sproul Determined That Investigation Make Facts Public If coal operators representing one third of the anthracite produced iin Pennsylvania who spent, two j hours with Governor William C. ] Sproul yesterday, had any hopes of I swerving him from his determina | tion to halt the proposed advance in | the prices of domestic grades they failed, because the Governor reiter ated to-day that if necessary he would make an inquiry as to the causes for what he deems an un warranted and uneconomic Increase in cost to consumers, even to the extent of going to the Legislature to broaden authority. The conference was • entirely amicable and the Governor said aft erwards that it had been "mutually satisfactory," but at the same time he let it be known conclusively that what he was interested in was preventing the public from being made to pay a higher price for hard coal at the close of a winter as un usually mild as that of last year when the prices were put away up was unusually severe. The men who were here fortified themselves with an array of fig ures as to cost of production, but the Governor said that he realized that transportation and handling in the flngl distribution stage played their part in the burden of the ; householder and that he intended to ] go farther into the problems. In the delegation here were W. L. Connell, Scran ton; James B. Xeale, Minersville; A. B. Jessup, Jeddo, and Alan C. Dodeon and J. P. Thompson, Bethlehem, the latter the secretary and assistant secretary of the independent operators' or ganization. Attorney General W. I. Schaffer was present during most of the meeting. Governor SproU said that he found his callers were concerned about the future of their industry as they were confronted with federal rpgula tions and had problems of their own. They showed a desire to co-operate, ITe said, and produced some figures showing advances in wages of sev enty-three per cent, in three years and that railroad haulage had gone up from twenty-five to sixty per cent., big increases being made in rates for transportation from mine to breaker. The Governor remarked that what had impressed him was that the cost for handling and dis tribution to (he hornet of the con sumers had jumped, some places it much as a dollar a ton. In this con nection he said that his visitors had shown a disposition not to be hasty about putting their advance into ef fect until the whole coal situation was gone into. j The railroad rates, he pointed out, had been regulated by the federal government and the distribution system had not been regulated. It would seem from his remarks that these two- factors will be given con siderable attention as propositions quite apart fro mthe operators' end of the business. Governor William C. Sproul will continue his personal inquiry into conditions surrounding the proposed advance in the price of anthracite coal at Philadelphia to-day and to morrow. The Governor said before leaving the city to-day tnat he ex pected to sec a number of men in terested in the coal situation and that he was following up what he had learned not only regarding pro i duction, but freight rates and the ! cost of final distribution, i "There are many elements enter ing into the coal proposition and I intend to take up each one. No state ment in regard to the matter can be made at the present time," he said. Appeals of Pennsylvania Railroad Are Heard ! Appeals of the Pennsylvania R&il j road from assessments of various tracts in the county which the cor -1 poration owns were heard and de j cided by the county commissioners at a special session to-day as a board lof recision. Other special hearings | fixed for to-day were disposed of | and action on the valuations will be ] taken later. During one of these E. Z. Wal lower in speaking of the county as sessments on city properties, declar ed that now the city was paying two thirds of the county's revenue in taxation and that there should be some distinction between city and county valuations of properties with lin the city limits. The county eom | missioners commented on this plan | but said that at present they are j working under the same assessment ! laws as the city, and that with the i increase in coal land assessments, j city owners will not lie paying two | thirds of the revenue into the county | treasury. Three Railroad Men Die When Engine Blows Up Stroudsburg. I'a., March 21.—Three men were killed instantly on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, a mile west of Cresco today when the engine they wcr riding on blew up. The dead are: Russell Teets, engineer; Harry Den nis, fireman and Amzi Williams, brakemen, all of East Stroudsburg. The engine which exploded was being used as a pusher. The parts were thrown great distances. There 1 is no way of ascertaining what caused the accident. An unusual feature of the accident was that while the engine was blown to pieces there was little damage done to the train ahead. Mayor Seeks Employment For Disabled Soldiers Mayor Keister is planning to co operate with the Board of Voca tional Education, Division of Re habilitation, in securing employ ment for returned disabled soldiers, sailors and marines. His first ef fort will be to place a man, who be fore entering the army service, was | employed as a coal miner and track layer, but his injuries will present him from serving in that capacity. He is now anxious to secure a posi tion where lie can run an engine or something of that sort, that he may he able to earn a living. Mayor Keis ter is ready to receive proffers of employment for this man and other soldiers who were injured, he says. Strong Poland Needed "•What stands in Germany's way is not France or England, which are so far off. Germany is at the gates of disorganized Russia and once let her combine with the Bolsheviki and reorganize Russia, as she will have the leisure to do in peace time, she will dominate the world. A strong Poland alone can block this plan.

DEAR FOLKS: 1 THE workman I met) the oftenest at the 1 Wilson & Co. plant, Chicago, was the day; watchman. He is the Sen tinel on Guard—and he is ! an active, intelligent, happy \ and proud Sentinel. Do you know why? I'll tell you. Up to three years ago, this watchman looked upon I himself as a mere machine. He felt that he occupied a menial position because he j was treated as a menial. Nobody apparently j thought him worth while. Every day was the same to I him. Nothing happened between sunrise and sunset to relieve the monotony of his life. He was discour aged as most workers arc who do not get kind words or attention. But a new hold on life came to him three years ago this month and it was all brought about through a little act of kindness. My, how a small courtesy changes things for all of us! It dispels clouds and floods our pathway with sunlight. Let me tell you what the watchman told me "The day that Mr. Wilson came here to take charge of the busi ness which had been given his name, what do you suppose was the first thing he did? Why, he came to my shanty, shook hands with me and said, 'John, I want you to know thai- I think you are holding a very important position. I look to you to watch things very carefully. So much depends on you. If you will put your heart in your work and help me all you can I will be very grateful. From now on you are going to be a right arm to this business. I need your | help to make it a success. I j hope we will be good friends, f What do you say?' And, of course, I said, 'l'll help and I thank you so much for thinking that I can help you.' From that time on, I have been very happy. I am very proud of the position j I hold. Mr. Wilson always I speaks to me and shows that he j likes me. I am just the average ! human being and when a man ! respects me and treats me right, it makes an awful lot of differ ence in my view-point of life. I feel that I am now a real man doing work that is necessary jand helpful." ! John and I got along fine to gether during my daily visits to Wilson & Company plant cover | ing a period of five weeks. We i had many a chummy chat. He introduced me to many of the workers, all of whom respect I him. He dresses in a blue uni ! form and stands guard with as ] much pride as the Commander ' of a U. S. Warship stands on the • bridge of his ship. This is the I sort of spirit that makes a busi- I ness prosper. I Another worker—this one a young | woman—told me that the courtesy shown the watchman by Mr. Wilson was witnessed by hundreds of work ers who were standing at the win dows of the big office building watching for his coming. She said: '•I can't describe to you the wave of satisfaction that immediately struck us all. Instantly the word went all through the plant that Mr. Wilson's first act was to visit the watrtiman, and the cry went up in all depart ments 'A renl man has come to lead us; now we can put heart in our work; now wc arc sure of apprecia tion . now we know wc will get a square deal.' You have no idea wliac u change was brought about at once. We went to our work with lighter hearts than wc had ever bad. We went to our worts with the feeling that we must do It well from then on and wo have leen doing it well ever since. Mr. Wilson visited all of us later on and let us know in his kindly way that ho wanted us to help him and that lie would appro-, elate it very much if we gave him our loyalty and enthusiasm. It wan new to us to be talked to in this friendly way. You can imagine how. happy it made us all feel.'' Don't tell nic that little things do not make up the sum of life, for they do. Don't you recall the oldj saying, "Little things, aye little, things make up the sum of life; word, a look, a single tone may lead, to calm or strife." The words, the looks, the tones In Wilson & Co. plant lead to calm and happiness. In my next letter which ' will appear in this newspaper, ona week from to-day, I'll tell you other tldngs that prove how Heart in work leads to contentment and sucn cess. Sincerely, William C.
