20 BRITISH RAILWAYS AND COAL MINES ARE NOW FINANCIAL INVALIDS London, Aug. I.—British railways and coal mines are at present finan cial invalids. Both the these In dustries still are controlled by the government, under war legislation. Proposals that both should be | nationalized are among the most important reconstruction plans now being agitated here. The British railways are managed by the new Ministry of Transport with a guarantee of pre-war profits to the shareholders. The coal mines are operated by a controller who fixes the compensation of the mine owners. "The transport systems of the country are financially In a semi paralyzed state," the Minister of Transport, Sir Eric Geddes, recently told the House of Commons.

Tho annual wage bill of tho rail ways before the war cost about £50,- 000,000, and Sir Eric estimates the increased war wages and other con cessions at £5 7,000,000, the eight hour day and other new concessions to cost from £20,000,000 to £25,- 000,000 and the extra cost of ma terials and coal £27,000,000, making the increased cost of running the railroads £104,000,000, to £107,000,- 000 without talking into account the great depreciation of plant during the war. Some financiers contest these fig ures strongly and assert that the deficit Is merely a paper one due to failure in bookkeeping to charge the immense government traffic at rates i which private traffic would cost, and I that the financial outlook is nowise I as had as Sir Eric's view of it. Tho deficits of the railways and mines are defrayed under present | arrangements, the former directly ] from the treasury out of the pock j ect of the tax payers, the latter by the whole community through of j ticial advances in the price of coal. On July 14 the British govern ment announced that the price of coal would be increased six shil lings a ton. WHK^NT'S Do You Like Irish Songs?

Marysville will take Millersburg on in a double oil! at the latter town, while Newport will journey to Duncannon and take on their old rivals. With a lead of three games and but six more to be played, Marys ville is in a position to clinch the pennant early. A double victory to morrow or a defeat for Newport would make the result practically certain, but Manager Fry, of Millers burg, and Manager Taylor, of New port, promise fights to the limit to prevent any such results. Changes at Marysville Several changes will be seen in the Marysville aggregation when it takes the field for the bouble bill at Millersburg to-morrow afternoon. Lester Keller, Marysville youth, who recently returned from Army ser vice will start the game behind the bat, according to present indications. Little opportunity has been had by Manager Stees to see Keller in action, but it is expected that he will start the fray. Ellenbcrger and Mutch will be in reserve.

The second game of to morrow results from the postpon ment of the game of July 5. Newport, and Duncannon, old rivals, will have a hard fight at Dun cannon to-morrow afternoon.
