...injurious practices, in a thoroughly "deplorable" state. Because the Chief Justice is right, James D. Francis, coal operator of Huntington, W. Va., acting under a plan launched by the National Coal Association year and a half ago to place all sales in the hands of regional agencies, set up Appalachian Coals, Inc. He quickly persuaded 137 independent operators controlling three-fourths of all production in the Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee fields and one-eighth of all production east of the Mississippi, to subscribe for Appalachian Coals stock and to let Appalachian Coals sell their entire output.

Contributor Walter Prichard Eaton, described in the blurb prefacing his article on "The Scenery of the United States" as "an artist who paints with words," paints the following unforgettable scene: "From the western slopes of the Appalachian chain, the water drains to the Mississippi, and the great plains begin."

Logical enough is the Columbia-Standard community of interest, as the two companies have long dominated the Appalachian gas fields and together control some 9,000,000 gas-producing acres extending from Lake Erie to southern Kentucky. Columbia is also negotiating with Samuel Insull for joint action in supplying mid-western cities now served by the Middle West Utilities (Insull) Co. A Standard-Insull combination already exists in the famed Amarillo-to-Chicago pipe line. Thus the gas industry briskly follows the co-operative policy which became conspicuous as long ago as July 1930, when United Corp. acquired...
...where is there a Boston Nugget, where will you find, brisk, boisterous, debonair academicians clad in comfortable corduroys and sweaters? Where will you get our hill-winds and our mountain air, our Appalachian snows, and Alpine sports? With all due gratitude for hospitality received, we choose Hanover. The beer is better for one thing. And the Brahmins of Boston don't get in your hair. The Dartmouth...
