mails to defraud.
“All your money all the time or.

well rounded phrase, but a promise and i
an assurance of safety as well for in
vestors to whom it vas addressed.
Testimony was offered in an effort to
shew that there was an expenditure of
thousands of dollars by the companies
to popularize the slogan and to identify
it with its securities testimony showed.
The prosecution, in introducing many
volumes, of copies of the slogans used
in various advertisements, sought to
connect it with other e-idence that .
while it was being used the enterprises
were no longer financially secure, and j
that the defendants knew this.

COAL MAN FAVORS
ALL MINES OPEN
Samuel Pursglove, Pitts
burgh, Says Plan Would Keep
Men and Shafts in Shape.
By the Associated Press
PITTSBURGH. September 11 —Op
eration of all mines on a uniform sched
ule instead of some shutting down com
pletely. to permit miners to make a liv
ing. is the best scheme for evolving the
bituminous coal business out of its de
pressed condition.
Such is the opinion of Samuel Purs
glove. president of the Pittsburgh Ter
minal Coal Corporation, one of the

largest concerns of Its kind in the world.
Pursglove said today his proposal
means that all mines would work only
enough time to supply the demand,
either by working a certain number of
hours each day or a certain number of
days each week He prefers the former
project from an operating standpoint,
as it would “tend to keep all mines in
good operating shape, so that a larger
tonnage could be produced in event of
increasing demand.”
For Large Selling Agency.
Under his plan a large selling agency
l would be established in each district to
sell all coal and fix the uniform running
| time for all mines in the territory.
Should the activities of the agency
conflict with the laws, he proposes that
each district work cut a plan whereby
I operators having orders for more ton
nage than they could produce in the
j uniform running time would take care
of the surplus ccal mired by operators
in their district who lack sufficient or
-1 ders for their coal.
I “At the present time the men who
j are employed at mines which work
i steadilv every day. earn more than suffi
cient to live on and are able to accu
mulate a surplus,” Pursglove said,
“while those men who are employed at
mines which operate only one or two
days a week cannot earn enough to
make a living.”
Overdevelopment Blamed.
He held overdevelopment responsible
for the industry’s plight and said the
condition was "brought about because a
few of the large companies want to
operate their mines every day regard
less of what price they can sell their
product for and without any considera
tion as to whether the smaller com
panies can survive.
“As long as this condition exists there
is nothing left for those operators to :
do. who wish to run their mines, except
to cut prices and get what business they
possibly can ” 1
