: Retail Coal Dealers Protest Agatnit the
" Preva'ent Practice.
MINE INVOICES ARE NOT ACCURATE

I Protection.
f.B L4HS. la., Fob. 23 To the Editor
of The lice: The evil of short weights on
cml ha asjumcd such alarming propor
tions In the middle went that the coal as
sociations. In order to nave many of the
retail roal dealer from financial ruin,
have had to lake hold ef the matter and
seek a remedy. The Iowa and Nebraska
assiclatlnn haa been the pioneer Iti this
movement for reform, and at its last meet
ing in Omaha passed resolutlrina favoring
legislative action to remedy the evil. That
this evil haa always existed to more or
less extent goes without Raying, and that
there Is a natural shrinkage on soft coat
by evaporation Is also an established fnct.
A further fact that coal when being trans
ported In open earn la subject to stealage
while In transit Is well known to the gen
ral public. The writer believes that on
the average the loss from natural shrink
age would not he more than 1 or I per
cent, and taking It the year around C
per cent would cover the stealage. How,
then, are we to account for the fact that
during the last one or two years the re
tailers who have handled coal shipped di
rect from the mines, and who have either
weighed out their coal themselves and
kept a careful account of same, or, as In
the case In the greater part of the earn
in the statistics which I Include In this
article, have had It weighed on track
scales 'by the railroad companies them
selves, I repeat, how are we to account
for the fact that this coal on arrival
shows a universal shortage running as
lilgh as eight tons to the car; the entire
average being more than 10 and In some
cases as high as 26 per centt
Mine Wrlahlna- a Faree.
The writer haa devoted much time and
study to this problem. First he made a
careful examination of the cars consigned
to jhls firm on arrival, and In the statistics
M. A. Moore A Co. he haa not Included
car that showed signs of having been
robm In transit. On the contrary, the
cars showing these large shortages were
aa full as they would hold on arrival. Ills
conclusions are simply this, that In many
cases the weighing at the mines Is the
merest farce and the railroad companies
take these weights without question. The
guessing at the mine Is based Upon the
marked capacity of the car, and, as the
writer knowa absolutely from his Invest!
nations, It Is a physical Impossibility to
load many of these open cars up to their
marked capacity, more especially with the
fine sixes, such as egg and hut. The result
Is that the guessing Is always high and the
retailer la compelled to suffer enormous
losses. How much, he does not know un
less h weighs out every car on arrival,
which entails a large additional expense.
The railroads, notably the Illinois Cen
tral, have Issued positive Instructions to

their agents to weigh no coal at destina
tion Now, what la the remedy for this evil?
The conscensns of opinion at the Omaha
meeting was that the most promising
method was along the line of state legisla
tion. The committee on resolutions recom
mended the appointment of a legislative
committee of three In Iowa and the same
number In Nebraska, whose duty It should
be to prepare and Introduce bills In the
state legislature of Iowa and Nebraska to
remedy this evil, which threatens the finan
cial ruin of so many of our business men,
or puts an additional unnecessary tax upon
the consumer If the dealer tries to make
up his shortage In added profits. The com
mittee on resolutions outlined the general
provisions of the bill to be Introductd. It
Is proposed to compel the railroads to lo
cate and maintain track scales at all towns
of reasonable else on their line; that when
requested to do so by the consignees the
agents of such roads shall weigh any car
of coal received at these stations, both the
gross and tare, with the car uncoupled;
that any coal consigned to stations where
no scales are located shall be weighed
gross by the railroad company at Its near
est weighing station to destination and the
weight, both gross and tare, shall be
stamped on the weigh bill, together with
the name of station where weighed and
date. It Is believed that this would help
very much to olve this vexed question
and be no Injustice to the railroads. The
bill Is In no sense drastic Jn Its provisions
and IS only intended to compel the rail
roads to do their business In a more sys
tematic manner and get their pay only for
services actually performed.
Statistics ef Short Weight
In the following table I give the date of
receipt, the car number, the way bill weight
and the weight of coal actually received

In the Interest of the coal dealers of Iowa,
whom I represent as chairman of this com

the Imperative necessity of, the pa sua Be
of this bill during the present session.
I could rather and add the testimony of
hundreds of other dealers to my statistics,
but I have riven enough to show the di
mensions of the evil which we seek to
correct. I must also urrs every coal dealer
In the state to loin his home sssoclaUon,
which has had the nerve to take up this
matter and push It to final Issue. In union
there Is strength and the larrer the union

FIGHT OVER NAVAL TRAINING STATION
Chairman Foss In His Remarks In-

Mho Believe In Un4
. Savles.
WASHIXQTON, Feb. 23-Althotigh the
house devoted the entire doy to considera
tion of the navnl appropriation bill under
the flve-mlnute rule, small progress was
made. Amendments were offered In pro
fusion for the perfection of the measure
from a democratic standpoint, but all save
an appropriation for the Charleston navy
yard were rejp ted. This mHtter, advo
cated In a forcible manner by Judge Le
gnre of South Carolina and amounting to
a total of 1656,600 to carry on the work of
existing contracts, was agreed to after
Chairman Foss had stated that the only
question was whether tho appropriation
should be made this year or next.
The fight over the proposed Oreat Lakes
naval training station was begun during
the last half hour of the session, and prom
ises a lively debate tomorrow. A point of
order Is hanging over the head of this
Item In the bill, and If It Is neglected by
Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin, who promises
to make It, the Ohio delegation will see
that It Is pressed. Just before adjourning
the house authorised the printing of 10,600
copies of a few directions for destroying
mosquitoes.
In opposing the Fitzgerald amendment.
Chairman Foss declared that since lSi'3
419.000,000 had been appropriated for the New
York navy yard. Mr. Foss Included Mr.
Fitzgerald "among that class of gentlemen
who Relieve In putting all of the navy on
the land." After a somewhat heated col
loquy between Messrs. Foss and Fitzgerald
the amendment was defeated.
No Government Ron Factory.
Mr. Fltsgerald offered another amend
ment appropriating 11,500.000 for the Im
provement of the New York navy yarfl.
which was also defeated. A campaign for
the enlargement of the government gun
factory at Washington was launched by
Mr. Hitchcock (Neb.), who offered an
amendment carrying tL'OO.OOO for this pur
pose. He' charged that the bill recom
mended everything possible for the private
contractor, but nothing In the Interest of
the government. Captain Pendleton, In
charge of the Wushlngton navy yard, was
quoted In his testimony before the com
mittee as In favor of Increasing the plant.
Mr. Vreeland (N. Y.) declared that to
have adopted Captain Pendleton's recom
mendation would be the first step In build
ing up a great government gun factory. A
rising vote of 43 to 73 defeated the Hitch
cock amendment.
Mr. Legare (8. C.) secured the adoption
of an amendment appropriating $656,000 for
the Charleston, 8. C, navy ynid. Mr.
Rlxey (Va.) endeavored to amend the bill
by eliminating the appropriation for a naval
station at Quantanamo, Cuba. He wanted
only a coaling station In Cuba. On a rising
vote his amendment was defeated by a
vote of 68 to 87.
On a motion, to strike out the appropria
tion for the naval station at Olongapo, P.
I Mr. Jones (Va.) spoke agalnxt making
such large appropriations for the Philip
pine Islands. He declared that before this
naval station was completed It would cost
from 820,000,000 to 130,000,000, and this In the
face of statements that we were to g(ve
Up tha Islands as Soon as the people were
educated enough for self-government.
Mr. Brandegee (Conn.) argued In favor
of this provision of the bill. Even If we
did give up the Philippines, he said, we
would need a naval station there. The
total naval appropriation, he added.
amounted to only three-quarters of a mill
per dollar on the taxable wealth of the
country. Mr. Butler (Pa.), who also spoke
In answer to Mr. Jones, said that Cavlte
had been abandoned as a proposed naval
station In favor of Olongampo, on Bublg
bay.
Cavlte Too Shallow for gtatlon.
Mr. Loud (Mich.), who was a pay offi
cer on the Olympia during the battle of
Manila bay, explained the testimony of
Admiral Dewey that It was impossible on
account of the shallow water to get even
colliers within a mile of Cavlte. The
motion of Mr. Jones was not carried.
Mr. Tate's amendment was defeated 99
to 101. Mr. Cooper (wis.) reserved a point
of order against the provision In the bill
for a naval training station on the great
lakes and proceeded to criticise the delay
In the report of the commission author
ised to sel sot a site. He declared that al
though the final report of this commission
had been made, none knew what site would
be purchased after the appropriation was
made. Mr. Cooper Intimated that the site
known aa Lake Bluff, situated, he said,
In the district represented by Chairman
Foss of the naval committee, would be
the one purchased.
Before Mr. Cooper had concluded, lie
was asked to postpone his remarks until
tomorrow. The committee rose and the
h'nise adjourned at 6:20 o'clock.

Colossal Fla-orrs la Life Insurance
What Do They Meant
The published statements of banks, trust
companies and Industrial concerns com
mand the attention of persons Interested
In them as Investors or depositors; the An
nual Statements of great Life Insurance
Companies are read by the mass of the
people with all the Interest that attaches
to the more Important news of the day. It
cannot be otherwise when practically every
family In every community feels that Its
own fortunes are closely connected with
and dependent upon the operations of one or
more of these tremendous beneficent asso
ciations. The Metropolitan Life puts forth a state
ment of Its business In 1903, presenting an
array of figures that shows Impressively the
Intimate relations between this Institution
and tho whole people. In one Item alone
an amazing fnct Is utated. It is that giv
ing the number of policies In force on the
last day of the year more than 7,500,000
showing that one person In every ten nf
the entire population of the I'nlted States
Is Insured In this Company.
In other Items the figures are too large
to convey any clear meaning until tliey are
divided and subdivided nnd made to apply
to days and hours Instead of years. For
example, this great Company has paid to
and Invested for Its policy holders since
organisation, over 1238,000,000 a sum that
will impress the average reader merely as
being vast and very vague. There Is quirk
comprehension, however, when we learn by
a little calculation that during 1P03 the
amount thus distributed among policy hold
ers averaged 1.S9 a minute during every
working day of the year.
Every day In the year 359 claims were
paid; every day In the year more than 8,000
new policies were written. At the end of
every day In the year the Company's Assets
were more than tcO.OOO greater than in the
morning. Its total assets at ihe end of the
year were more than $105,000,000. Its total
Income fr the one yeur 1SIG3 was over
$49,000,000.
Oolng back twenty years we have some
comparative figures that tell a story of al
most Incredible growth. The Company's In
come for the year 1K83 was a little over
$3,000,000; for li93 a little over $15,000,000; for
1903 over $49,000,000; Its surplus since 1S83
has Increased from about $627,000 to over
$10,000,000. When we come to the amount of
outstanding Insurance at the end of the
year we pass the billion mark. The exact
sum Is $1,342.31.457.00.
The Metropolitan Life received from pre
miums and other sources during 1903 over
$6,500,000 more than In 1902. Considering the
relative condition of the financial markets
In these two years, this exhibit Is at first
surprising, then Illuminating. In 1902 money
was plentiful; public confidence tn the mani
fold projects of promoters and financiers
had never been stronger; "times were
good." In 1903 these conditions were re
versed. Thousands of hitherto prosperous
wage earners were out of employment;
others were forced to accept reduced
wages; the Incomes of the well-to-do shrank
and dwindled; and everywhere there was
a decided tendency to retrench and to with
hold money from Investment. Yet this was
by far the most prosperous year off the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company s ex
istence. Nothing could show more plainly what
Life Insurance really stands for In the
minds of the people. It Is not regarded as
a speculative venture, but a sure promise
of security; a safe shelter when financial
storm-clouds threaten general wreck.
A concern like the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company 1b, of course, a business
organization, but It Is one in which all of
Its policy holders are bona fide partners,
"a company of the people, by the people
and for the people;" one that has known
how to gain and how to Justify the confi
dence of the whole community.
That Is why no bank stockholder will read
the annual report of his own prosperous
bank with keener relish than people every
where read this remarkable statement of
the Metropolitan Life.
