ENGLISH COAL
MINES MAKE
BIG PROFITS
LONDON, April 2 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Testimony
concerning enormous profits made by
various British collieries was given at
the inquiry of the Coal Mine Commis
sion by Albert Emil Davies, general
manager of the banking corporation
and a writer on finance and econ
omics. He stated that 1,000 pounds
invested in 1903 in shares, then
quoted at par, of a certain company
would have earned dividens equal to
about 3,800 pounds and would now be
salable at 5,500 pounds.
In the case of another company he
said that “for the ten years ended in
1918 the dividends paid were equiva
lent to about 243 per cent of the in
creased capital, or over 300 per cent
on the actual capital.”
The witness said that in most eases
the extent of profits in coal had been
obscured by the capitalization of re
serves or other readjustments of
capital.
“By these methods and by divi
dends," he testified, “the most suc
cessful companies are able to return
to their shareholders every few years
the whole of the share capital origin
ally subscribed by them."
Mr. Davis said that if the coal re
serves of the country were pooled,
the enormous profits made and par
tially concealed by the large com
panies would be available to meet
part, at least, of any additional work
ing costs for subsequent distribution,
which obscured the enormous profits
actually being made, would disappear.

LABOR BATTALION
NOT GIVEN SQUARE DEAL
PARIS, April 1 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—Grave injus
tice has been done to thousands of
American soldiers constituting the
labor battalion of the American Ex
pedionary Force because of the man
ner In which publicity has been given
to General Order No. 32 of the United
States army in France, declares the
Reverend Dr. Albert J. McCartney,
moderator of the Chicago Presbytery,
engaged in Young Men’s Christian As
sociation work in France.
The order directed that soldiers
suffering from social diseases “shall
be separated and assigned to provi
sional organizations retained for labor
purposes in Europe.” Dr. McCartney
says it is unfortunate that “no atten
tion has been called to the fact that
this order is in no way intended to
reflect upon the labor battalions prop
erly so-called, which are a permanent
and indispensable feature of the
United States army. The popular
mind,” he adds, “is likely to confuse
the labor battalion feature of army
life with the disciplinary labor re
ferred to in General Order No. 32.”
He declares that he recently spent
some time with 7,000 men of the labor
battalion, and they “are as fine and
clean a set of fellows as you will find
in the army and they sorely resent
the reflection that the popular inter
pretation of General Order No. 32 has
put upon them.
“One boy, for instance, has a letter
from his mother stating that it ‘has
broken her heart’ to have disclosed to
her the true reason for his detention
in France.” She had read in the
papers that all men of a certain divi
sion were home except those detained
as a disciplinary measure. “This is a
plain crime against American homes
and mother-hearts,” declares Dr. Mc
Cartney.
A bill was introduced in the terri
torial legislature last week providing
for compulsory education and the pro
hibition of employment of children.
