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.

This large, colored Map of'the St. Mihiel salient was made by headquarters experts on the

offensive, also the locations of the French colonial troops, the enemy defense lines, and all rail
roads, tramways, towns, villages, rivers, etc. It is indispensable in tracing the progress of this
brilliantly victorious drive, the first ail-American offensive on a large scale. The Map is accom
panied by a highly interesting descriptive article drawn from the Commander-in-Chief's own
report. This authentic Map is well worthy of preservation, and, as the demand for it will un

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. Freeman, i
