M’CARDLE TELLS HOW COMMISSION PAYS EXPENSES Chairman Says Valuations Are Settled for by Fee System. The popular Idea that, because the public service commission turns back money to the State treasury each year It has sufficient funds to make valuations |of public utilities as required by law, was refuted today by John W. McCardle, chairman of the commission, who contends the commission does not have sufficient money to pay the expense of making the valuations. Mr. McCardle pointed out although the commission turns back rather large amounts nearly every year, Its income Is uncertain because It is derived largely from fees and the amount of these fees in each case can not be determined until each case Is settled. The uncertainty of the income makes necessary the keeping of a margin of safety, resulting in a surplus at the end of each year, Mr. McCardle said. The commission cannot, under the law, Charge the cost of making valuations to the utilities valued, In the opinion of the chairman. There has been considerable difference of opinion on this subject, however. The amounts that have been turned back to the State treasury annual are as follows: 1916, $27,508.45; 1917, $39,848,34; 1918, $13,639.61; 1919, $143.20; 1920, $16,371.41; 1921, $18,975.20.

SAYS OPERATORS PLAN TO FORCE ACTION BY U. S. (Continued From Page One.) Congress may be asked to rush through special legislation in order to combat a etrike. or that existing Governmental machinery may be used. In these things, In the opinion of Mr. Green, public opinion will play a very Important part. John L. Lewis, International president of the mine workers, refuse! to comment on the situation. OPERATORS SAY WAGES MUST DROP CHICAGO, Feb. 3—‘‘Wages have got to come down. Here’s the new wage scale. Take it or leave It.” This, In effect, will be the notice served on union coal miners all over the country between now and April 1 by various associations of operators, It became known today. While the United Mine Workers of America, through Its president, John L. Lewis, Is endeavoring to create a “defensive alliance” with the sixteen major railroad union? to combat wage reductions, the operators’ associations, one by one, are Informing their employes just how much of a cut they will have to take after April L Such action, if carried far enough, would obviate the ne- sslty of any wage negotiations with Mr. Lewis’ organization, it was pointed out. Already the operators of the Southern Ohio field have said to their men in posted notices : “YoM’ll take a 31 to 46 per cent cnt." The Pittsburgh Coal Producers Association, which always has dealt with the miners’ organization, has coma out flatfootedly with the announcement that they will make a forty per cent wage slash. Today, the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators* Association, in session here, adopted a resolution declaring that the continued operation of Indiana mines “demands a radical and sweeping reduction in the present wage scale.” Illinois operators will meet in the Immediate future to settle their policy on the wage question. The operators claim that 72 per cent of the cost of producing coal is spent for labor. They say that only through, wage cuts can the price of coal to the public be reduced.

back of the meeting called by the president of the mine workers,” 'William H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists, declared. “It Is no secret that the laboring man and the farmers of the country intend to exert all possible political influence at the polls. We are prepared to go Into the primaries and have some voice in the selection of candidates.” In other labor circles, it was learned that organized labor is deliberately feeling the political pulse of the United States and that when the proper time comes a third party may be launched. At the headquarters of the American Federation of Gabor it was stated officially for Samuel Gompers, president, that the Federation “stands back of any attempt to combine among workers to* combat possible wage reductions.” Gompers has not yet received an invitation to attend the proposed meeting called by Lewis to bring together representatives of more than 20,000,000 organized workers.
