Pennsylvania anthracite producers are netting an average profit of §1.60 per ton at present wholesale prici according to estimates placed before the United States Coal Commission by a United Mine Workers' committ made public today. On ennusl pro- ductlon of 70,000,000 tons the anthra- cite companies are obtaining “an ap- parent net income at present prices of $103,600,000,” the committee said, add- ing that it is “to be expected that present panic prices of anthracite will remain fairly constant throughout this year.” Carrying their cost calculations fur- ther, the committee figured that a profit of 28 cents per ton would give the industry a reasonable return on the umount of capital involved, if the annual production was 10,000,000 tons. 1 the output rose to 75,000,000 tons, a proper profit would be 27.4 cents. Total profits produced at this rate per ton, the committes said, would | glve a 8 per cent return to the own- ery of the industry if the total value lof their holdings was considered to| be $335,496,100. Hold Wages Insufficient. “We hold and reiterate that the wages pald to anthracite workers is not sufficient compensation for the worlk they perform,” the re- port sald. “The cost of anthracite coal can mever be figured in dollars and cents alone. There must be added to the labor cost an annual toll of over 500 lives, of over 20,000 workers who suffer accidents, boys who do work as dirty and dan- gerous and yet as honorable as sol- diers in war, who meet death and injury in order that coal may be produced to warm the homes of our | people and turn the wheels of in- dustry. Average earnings of miners, it was said, “on the basis of best figures the operators have been able to produce, umounted to $1,500 per annum, which was asserted to be leas than a living e. The commission was asked to look carefully into anthracite book- | in- | keeping during its fact-finding vestigation, to determine whether labor costs of {ts output were not | being unduly swelled by methods of figuring power, administration, and supply charges. Object to Royalties. Royalties which mine operators now Pay “to owners of lands containing coal were sharply attacked in the nion’s analysls, which asserted that ‘a satisfactory method must be found either for the practical elimination or the drastic regulation downward of all royalties” "As the scale now stands, it was asserted, amounts ranging from § cents to $2.40 per ton are being pald to the owners of the land, the average throughout the in- dustry being 16 cents, while the wide difterences in cost of production which result trom the varying charges “result in a price-fixing ar- rangement, which is apt to cover the high cost collieries and thereby allow the lower cost collieries a larger profit than they would otherwise dare to take. PEACE HOPE GROWING AS ERIN QUIETS DOWN Neutrals and Paroled Men Work- ing Together to Bring End to All Hostilities. By the Assaciated Press. DUBLIN, February 26.—Reports from Irish provincial centers indicate a revival of peace efforts. Rumors emanating from Bantry and West Cork assert that a settiement may be reached in the course of a week or s0 between the government and anti- government parties which would be honorable ,to both and which would entail no humiliation of the repub- licans. It seems certain that a peace move is afoot. The neutral Irish republi- can army men, as well as some prominent public citizens now on pa- role, are working along parallel lines. There has been & suspension of hos- tilities for some time and this, it is thought, has presented an opportu- nity for a favorable peace discussion.

THOUSANDS LOST IN MAIL ROBBERY| Lone Robber Loots New York Central Train Between Syracuse and Albany. WORKED AT HIS LEISURE] Officials Believe Theft at Grand Central Station Was by One of Same Gang. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, February 26.—Theft of thousands of dollars in registered mall from a New York Central train between Syracuse and Albany several days ago was reported by authori- tative sources today. The robbery, it was sald, was similar to that in Grand Central terminal yesterday. ‘Worked at Lelsure, The robber, it was sald, evidently worked at leisure in the registered mail, rifling the packages and casting the wrappers out the window. Later track walkers found wrappers strewn along the right of way, many of which, it was sald, bore European addresses. The robbed train was eastbound. The similarity of this robbery and the one yesterday in the Grand Cen- tral Terminal, when the Chicago fast malil train, composed of ten steel cars, was robbed, led to the belief that both were committed by the same ring of bandits. Federal officials declared they be lleved the thefts were the work of a band of mail thieves organized in Chicago and that they expected to make arrests within a short time. Lone Man Robs Mall Posta! inspectors and railroad police today declared that last night's robbery of mail pouches on & Chicago train with through mail from San Francisco by a lone robber was the third that took place on the same | train within two months. ‘The robber escaped. Both postal inspectors and railroad police scoffed at the theory that the robbery was an “inside job,”" declaring it their'belief that the rob. ber had boarded the train at some up-state point and had made his way into one of the steel mail cars be- fore reaching Grand Central station. The robber’s sole haul was sald to have been one registered packag mailed In Chicago. The nature of its contents or the name of the sender were not disclosed. He dropped a second pack was recove E 's His Pursuers. The robber was discovered by track walkers making his way out of the New York Central yards with a small mall package under one arm. They gave chase, calling officers to their ald. They fired at the fugitive, who risked hia life in dodging electrically charged third rails, and finally eluded them by climbing from the railroad “cut” te the street. ‘The same train was looted of sev- al registered mall packages a week ago, postal inspectors said, declaring that still another robbery was re- ported two months ago.

CONGRESS HAMPERS ! COURTS, SAYS LAWYER Declares Efforts Should Be Limited | to Making, Not Adminis- tering, Laws. Blaming Congress for its interfer- ence with the administration of the courts and urging that the American press take judiclal procedure more serfoysly, Thomas W. Shelton, chair- man of the committee on uniform judicial procedure of the American Bar Assoclation, in a current number of the assoclation’s journal draws a contrast between the English and American courts. The underlying distinction is found, he claims, in the “fact that all technicality of every nature was abolished from the courts the moment that parliament turned over their pr: ical operation to the judges and lawyers, and thereafter devoted itself exclusively to making laws instead of trying to administer them.” Speaking of the simplicity of the English courts, he says: i “Spectators are not drawn to the courtroom by the thrill of sensation- | the entertainment of oratory, for none | are to be found. One might as well be in solemn St. Paul's, so quiet and decorous is the atmosphere. Every ounce of energy leads in its deliber- ate plodding way to the final judg: ment for which the case was insti- tuted. here are no useless, senseless, peevish or obstructionist diversions. ‘Exceptions’ and ‘objections’ by law- yers, that necessarily, but materially, mar American trials, are so rare as to startle or even offend the opposing lawyers, who pride themselves, as sworn officers of the court, on keep- ing within the rules made by them.

It the demands of the schools con- tinue to increase at the present rate, he said, the inability of soclety to pay the cost must bring about radi- cal curtailments. The increase in cost, he emphasized, is due partly to increase in numbers, the betterment of fecilities and the improvement of teachers' saluries. But u large part of the increase, he declared, ig due to the fact that the school is no longer conceived of as primarily intellectual agency, but as a means for learning something of ever form of knowledge, for uoquir ing a preparation for a trade or pro feasion.
