MJm * IDAY JANUARY’ 15, 1923. 2 CENTS PER COP/—$5. YEAR ‘INSTABILITY” HELD AS CAUSE FOR BAD FUEL CONDITIONS Fact Finding Commission in the Coal mining Industry Sets reort to Congress QUESTION so COMPLEX TOUCHES NATIONS LIFE fBv Associated WASHINGTON, Jan, 15.—Insta bility in the bituminuous coal min ing industry is the fundamental cause of high prices and the fuel shortage which .has menaced the Am erican public repeatedly in recent years, the United States Coal Com mission held today, in a preliminary report of its fact finding investi gation laid before Congress. Labor troubles, transportation dif ficulties, and over-develfopment of the industry in mines and ^manpow er to a point where it is much larger than necessary to supply public de mand for its product—if operators were continuous—were all three as signed as among primary causes for the condition. The exact bearing which these have upon the existing situation, the commission said, it in* tended to study in its further in quiry. Regarding the possibility of an other general coal strike after April 1, the report said the com mission “has reason to believe that an agreement will be reached in the near future that will avert any wide-spread cessation of mine op. erations in union fields on April 1”. The commission added that its work in promoting industrial peace by ascertaining and publishing re liable data on wages, earnings, em ployment volume, profits and costs involved in coal production will pro ceed with that understanding, Ref erence was made to the exchange of communications between the dom mission, minej^ representatives of operators which has lessened the danger of the strike prospect Six members of the comnnssiot., John Hays Hammond, chairman, Dr. George Otis Smith, former director of the Geoloical Survey, Clark How ell, editor of the Atlanta Constitu tion, former Vice President Marshall Charles P. Neill, and Dr. Edward T. Devine, signed the report as ren dered, while Federal Judge Alschul er, whose judicial tenure has pre vented his qualifying formally for service as commissioner, attached a memorandum approving the views . of his colleagues. The commission was created by Congress after the 1922 coal strike to investigate the entire coal problem. “There have been so many and such complex factors operating in the coal industry to prevent the free play of economic forces.” the re port said in conclusding that a very detailed and comprehensive investi gation is reqnired before a valid conclusion can be reached. The in quiry involves the whole question as to what is best for the people, free competition, government or private ownership, negulatin or control in the coal industry. The problem is of so great moment, with reference net only to the theories of government, but also to the econmic life of the republic, that the view of the com mission must be left to its final re port. “There can be no satisfactory agreement as to wage rates, and no lasting peace between operator?! and men, unless steadier employment can be provided. There can be no satis factory solution of our transporta tin problem s Ing as the railrads are subjected t Midden peak loads of coal traffic at the season when the demands of agriculture and indus try are at their height. “The commission beleives that the public interest in cdai raises funda mental questions of the relation of industry to the motion and 04 $o which private rights h^elfa*#..ftmay ALASKA’S GOLD IS 01^ UPWARD MOVE SURVEY NOW SHOWS Gold and other mine produc tion* show increase con sidered marked comeback ONE MILLION NEW GOLD OVER 1921 As&ociftted Press; WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.—Miner al production in Alaska, which has shown a declining tendency in re cent years, staged a marked come back during 1922, according to United States Geological survey es timates and turned out more than $18,000,000 in new wealth. The value of Alaska’s gold output for the year was fixed by the survey at $7,720,000; of copper, $9,000, 000; silver $730,000; coal $450,000 with enough lead, platinum, petrol eum, and marble to make up the balance. In 1921 the output of Alaskan minerals was valued by the survey at $17,000,000. “The Alaskan mining industry is advancing, not retrograding”, the survey said of conditions there brought under its study. “In fact, though the value of its present out put is small compared with that of the past, the industry is r.ow on a more substantial basis than ever be fore.” As to the future, the survey es timates that unworked placer ground in Alaska still holds $350,000,000 in gold, which will be recovered by the methods of dredging now be ing followed. The resources of cop per and other minerals contained in hard rock deposits, it was added, cannot be estimated as yet, but the opening of coal deposits which will cheapen the costs of production leaves the prospects f.-voreble to expansion of general mini rig enter prises. APOSTOLIC DELEGATE WILL LEAVE MEXICO ?Bv Associated Pre«s> MEXICO CITY Jan. 15.—Monstn gor Ernesto' Filippi, Apostolic dele gate to Mexico is ready to leave the Country in compliance with Pres idents Obregons order expelling him for participating in an out door religious ceremony, in alleged vio lation of the federal constitution.

WOULD RESTRICT SALE OF PILLS TO LICENSED DRUGGISTS We understand that a bill is to be introduced in the North Carolina legislature, the effect of which will be to give a monopoly to druggists and doctors on the sale of proprie tary remedies, by making it illegal for genera] stores, commissaries, de partment stores, mill stores and all other establishments to sell proprie tary remedies, but permitting doc tors to sell proprietary remedies pro vided they are located outside of a five mile limit of a drug store, Such a bill would be an outrage upon public interest, for a large portion of the population of North Carlina lives exceeding five miles from a drug store as defined in the bill. No doctor can afford to carry an am ple stock of proprietary remedies, invlving hundreds of different kinds of remedies, and as the doctors do not stay at borne a very large part of the time If they are active, this means that the doctor’s wife would have to dispense the proprietary business outside of the five mile limit from dtug stores. From the druggists standpoint the propostion looks very good in deed, but what about the interest Of the general stores, the department stores, mill stores and commissaries? What about the interest of the gen eral public, especially that part of the public which lives a distance from a drug, store, and Still more that part of the public which livee a distance from either a drug store or a doctor? •, ‘ , f Jacobs and Co.

'ft The meeting last Tuesday was the culmination of a series of confer ences that have been held between the local people interested in form ing the organization and represen tatives of the International office, the local district and the clubs of nearby cities where Rotary has been established for some time. Through the formation of tne new club, with its unique features of fellowship and conduct of business, this city becomes a part of a world encircling; body of representative men dedicated to the spirit of ser vice encompassing moi*fe than a thou sand communities in twenty five countries. I Origin of Rotary Rotary > came into being in Chi cago, February 23 1906 with a group of four men one a coal dealer one a Joining operator, one a mer chant tailor, and the fourth an at torney. The attorney, Paul P. Har ris, first advanced the idea of form ing a club different from anj club then known, and to him belongs the credit ftr starting the great Rotary TOWNS movembiit. At this meeting of the four, when decision was made to organize a *lsq defiled to invite to membership just one man from each different business or profess ional calling. A printer a real esta te man, an insurance man, and a banker, were the next four admit ted. “Rotary” was chosen as the name of the new club because the mem bers met in “rotat ‘ >n” at their plac es of business. “Rota ion Club” seemed somewhat inapt so they ad opted the shorter form “Rotary Club”. The Chicago club continued to increase in membership. In 1908— three years after the first meeting the second Rotary club was organ ized in San Francisco. Other clubs followed on the Pacific Coast and then the movement spread to the East and then to the South until sixteen clubs had been organized bp the end of 1910. ^ It was in 1910 that the first con vention was held in Chicago cad the “National Association” formed. At this convention Chesley R. Perry was elected secretary and he con tinues to bold this office at the pro ent time. Rotary emerged from a national organization to an inter national organization two years lat er at the Duluth convention. A short time previous to this convention* a club had been organized at Winni peg, Canada, and during the con vention a cablegram was received from the Rotary Club of London, England, asking for a charter. Ro tary had thus quickly evolved from one club in 1905 to an international organization in 1912. Since 1912 the organization has grown even more rapidly than dur ing the first seven years. Today there are more than one thousand Rotary Clubs in the world. Altho the greater number are in the Unit ed States, where the movement orig inated, there are now Rotary Clube in Canada, Newfoundland, Great Britain and Ireland, Cuba, South America, the Republic of Panama, China India, Australia, and New Zealand. This growth seems all the more remarkable when we realist that the organisation has never at CLEVELAND MAN IS FOUND DEAD IN ROOM i ,_____ Three Men Held As Suspects One A Baseball Umpire (By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, Jan. 15,—A mur der charge against one of the two suspects in the slaying of Edward McGregor, found shot to death Sat urday is expecttd by thi Police al though detectives admitted they learned little from questioning the three men found intoxicated ir. sep arate rooms of the apartment in which McGregor was killed.
