PAGE TWO. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL SALEM, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1919. 11100 CHALLENGED TO PROVE CHARGE OF SHOCKING PROFITS Washlntogn, Nov. 26. Coal opera tor! have sent a telegram to William O. McAdoo, challenging him to pro Ouce the figures upon which he based his charge that operators have been making "shocking profits" and could Afford to grant miners' wage increases. "If you have not these current facts and figures your mere personal opiiv Ion has no weight," McAdoo was told. "If you have current facts and fig ure to substantiate your conviction and doubts, you will make a good wit ness for the miners before a board of arbitration or a tribunal on investiga tion which thus far they have firmly failed to agree to." McAdoo's telegram, Bent yesterday to Fuel Administrator Garfield, charg ed that profits in the coal Industry m 1817 ranged from fifteen to two thou sand per cent, according to income tax returns. The operators said McAdoo's "mis leading statements and insinuations are the kind of stuff which bolshevism breeds upon and accused him of "bad taste" in issuing his statement while negotiations were on. "You suggest a careful examination of Income tax returns before an addi tional price of coal is allowed,' the operators' message read. "This would he included in the investigation which the mine owners agreed to more than a month ago and have been urging ever since, but thus far the mine workers have been unwilling to agree to arbitration or investigation. Either procedure will disclose not only the current tax returns of the mine own ers, but of the miners as well. The figures are here In Washington and can be readily produced if you can Ket ihe mine workers to agree. The MtuSilnouH coal operators will wel come the publication of just as full current tax return for the bituminous coal industry as are published for any other industry." t INCORPORATIONS.

Many people, however, once got the notion they couldn't eat such things and have grown In prejudice as a consequence. They have denied them selves almost everything except milk and water. - But you will find here and there one of this kind eating onions, cu cumbers, melons and other such ter rors of the dyspeptic because he has found that by merely giving the stomach a little assistance there are no after effects from such indulgence. There is avoidance of gassiness, no sour risings, no-water brash, you dont taste 'em hours after. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for both those who starve, for fear of suffering. They relieve the distress of indigestion and they also serve to as sist the stomach to prevent indiges tion. Eating should be one of our chief enjoyments.
