RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4. IMO

COAL JOBBERS ARE BLAMED

* : INDIANA FUEL COMMISSION AT WORTON COAL SIT- ; : J , UATION. * At the special session of the Indiana legislature a Food and Fuel law was enacted and if the legislature had dbhe nothing but put this bit of effective legislation upon the statute books it would have been a good investment for the tax payers of Indiana. Fortunately a new commission was not created but this Work was placed with the accounting' board of the state of which Jesse E.

Eschbach is chairman. Mr. Eschbach is at work on the coal problem and while this industry is in . serious. condition and grievous complaints are heard, on account of the lack of coal and the high prices prevailing, he will be able to get under the situation, find where the blame should be placed and also require the delivery of sufficient coal at reasonable prices. The following article is taken from the Indianapolis Star of October second: The alarming shortage of coal in Indiana overshadows price considerations, retail coal dealers testified today at the last of three price-fixing hearings before the Indiana food and fuel commission. Many of hhe smaller dealers declared they were forced to knuckle down to profiteering coal brokers and purchase coal at- exorbitant prices. They said they were unable to get shipment from the operators direct and were therefore forced to take coal offered by the jobbers because their customers “.needed coal regardless of the price.” R. C. Keene of R. C. Keene & Son, Frankfort, said he had been able to get only four cars of Indiana coal' in the last month and that he paid a jobber $7.25 a ton for one i and one-fourth inch lump at the mine in. order to get two of the cars. , “Who was that jobber?” Jesse E. Eschbach, chairman of the commission, asked. • Retailer Name* Broker, “He is located ir. the Traction Terminal building in Indianapolis,” Mr. Keene replieds - “I think the name of the concern is the Brader Coal Company. The Linton .Coal is very reasonable,” Mr. Keene continued. “They quote me a price of $4.25 a ton at the mine, but we don’t get very much coal d€jive^6d• ,, ■ ‘ s The last remark about not being able to get the coal delivered brought a ripple of laughter from the two score or more coal dealers at the ‘hearing. Nd. Brader Coal Company is listed and the com? mission expressed the opinion that Mr. Keene was confused on the name. When it was brought out that Linton fourth vein coal was offered for $4.25 at the mine, James W. Noel, counsel for the commission, exhibited a post card on which an Indianapolis jobber had quoted a dealer a price of $8.50 for Linton coal at the mine. J “This broket sitting in his office would be able to give you coal at 100 per cent profit,” Mr. Noel smiled. - The coal brought by this particular jobber, Mr. Keene said, was routed through Illinois when it was reconsigned to him, and the freight charges on it was $1.63 a ton, making the total cost delivered in Frankfort, SB.BB a ton. ’ > Boycotted Profiteers. M. F. Shaw, of Crawfordsville, declared he refused to buy coal from jobbers who asked trim as high as $8.50 a ton at the mine. As a result, he said, he was unable to get much coal, bat what little he obtained direct from the mine was purchased for $5 a ton. He read letters and telegrams he had sent to the operators urging them to give him coal, iln reply to these he received letters in which the operators advised him that there was a serious car shortage and that they would be glad to take care of him when they could. • “The operators raise the tion,” Mr. Eschbach interrupted, “that the Indiana dealers refused to purchase local coal in previous years and now that there M a shortage they are calling on the Hoosier mines for coal.” “I plead guilty, Mr. Shaw replied. “Prior to the .war we did ■not realize the value of Indiana coal. Conditions were different then, too. We could get Eastern coal for just a little more than Indiana coal and the retail trade demanded it. The Easto coal will store better than the Indiana coaL Another thing, the Indiana operators did not push their coal for domestic consumption as they were catering to the 'Steam coal trade. Now we do not seem to be able to make the Indiana operators belie that they have a permanent market . Retail Supply Exhausted. Indianapolis dealers, as well as dealers from other cities in the state, declared that they did not now have of in their

CRUSH MOMENCE IN 70 TO 0 WIN

ILLINOIS ELEVEN ANNIHILATED BY REDLAND BLACK IN . OPENING GAME. Score By Quartan. 12 3 4 Rensselaer *—l9 13 13 25—70 Momence 0 0 0 0— 0 The Rensselaer high school football team gave the Momence (Ill.) eleven a severe drubbing at Riverside park Saturday afternoon in what was the initial gridiron clash of the season in local circles. The final score was 70 to 0, the Bed and Black scoring machine registering consistently in each of the four spasms.

The sister state aggregation was simply annihilated and made first down but bnce or twice during the sixty minutes of play. Rensselaer scampered up and down the chalk limed field at will, puncturing the line and skirting the wing men with ease. The , Mqmcnce line was of the papier mache variety and their offense nil. The game hardly provided exercise for the 4kqme pets and did nothing in the way of conditioning them for the harder tussle of next Saturday with the strong Logansport eleven. At no time were Coach Leighley’s proteges compelled to open up their trick basket and the spectators were denied the pleasure of seeing them exhibit their real wares. Straight line smashes were the rule throughout the greater part of the play, an occasional forward pass serving to break the monotony of events. .. -

The game was a disappointment, or rather the Momence team was/ and was so one-sided that the fans grew leg weary following the Maroon and Black jerseyed athletes up and down the field. On account of the feeble resistance offered by the Sucker eleven, it was impossible to get a Mne on the true strength of the home aggregation. There can be no doubt but that it is a powerful, well oiled scoring machine, constructed 7 of a bulky line and a brilliant, shifty backfield, and there seems to be plenty of trouble ahead for the six opponents remaining on The commanding lead which was soon piled up gave Coach Leighley an oppoytumty of trying out .his second string men who continued to roll up the score with the same ease as the first string men. -The backfield composed of Thompson, Larsh, Harmon and Collins, tore off long rune on many occasions. Tilton, who was substituted for Larsh, registered a sixty-vard run near the dose, placing the oval behind the goal posts after ducking between a / pair of bowed legs owned by the last Momence tackler who stood between him and the safety zpne. Merica was drdpped into the fracas for Collins at fullback toward the close and kept up the battering tactics of the first string player. Wright and Phegley, at the end positions, lacked nothing in the way of defense and snatched several forward passes which netted their team many yards. The team is apparently well protected at the wings and Coach Leighley will have but little worry over these posiThe remainder of the line composed of Weiss at center:. French and Grow at guards, and Lambert and -Wasson at tackles, leaves nothing to be desired. The regular linemen have a strong supporting cast in Hammond, Kresler, Cain and Sharpe, and taken all in all it appe&rs as if the Bed and Black are in for one- of tile most successful seasons in years. The Rensselaer line-up follows: Phegley, L. Eg Wasson, L. T.; Grow, L. G.; Weiss, Cj .French R. G.: Lambert, R. T.; Wright, R. E.- Thompson, Q. B.; Larsh, L. H. B.; Hannon, R. H. B.; Collins, F, B. Substitutions —Kresler for Wright; Hammond for French; Cain for Wasson; Sharpe for Phegley; Merica for Collins; Tilton for Larsh; Bever for Wasson.

JOIN RETREAT FROM DEMOCRACY

The split between the administration and Governor Cox was emphasized today when Maj. Benedict Crowell, a close friend of President Wilson, who, until July 1, was an assistant secretary of war, declared himself in favor of Harding and Coolidge. “Now that President Wilson is retiring from active political life it is wise for his supporters to take stock of the situation,” said Maj. Crowell. “I have always favored a league of nations and am sorry we' did not enter it long ago. The Democratic party, however, has no monopoly on the league. “Harding Wi.aly Silent.” , “The Democratic administration failed to get this country into the league in spite of the fact that 75 per cent of the Seriate favored it Nor does opposition to the league lie wholly within the Republican party, many prominent Democrats having opposed it “Governor Cox is making many promises regarding the league which he may not be able to fulfill. Senator Harding is wisely noncommittal World affairs are chang-i ing so rapidly it is/impossible for any man to. say just what should be done six months hen ce to make United States influence effective in

a world concerts Cox Support Uncertain. “Senator Harding’s election will, I believe, insure more efficiency than the election of Governor Cox, who has been compelled to accept support from certain members of the present administration who could contribute little strength to the next administration.” Howitt Joins* Deserter*. New York, Oct. 3.—Peter Cooper Hewitt, publicist and lifelong Democrat, has forsaken the Democratic party and will vote for Senator Harding. ' Mr. Hewitt on his arrival today I from Wilsonian policies did not ex-1 press the “true sentiments of de-1 mocracy on which out institutions I are. founded” and that their continuance as the policies of the | nation would be “inimical jto the best interests of the people that form the backbone of the nation.” j
