Sept. 3 Unless political dopesters in the state house are greatly mistaken, K. Prudden of Lansing, member of the Food Preparedness Committee and Coal Preparedness Committee, is giving serious consideration to the United States senatorship. During the past week there has b-en a persistent rumor in the capitol that the Lansing banker and manufacturer might be a candidate fothe republican nomination for L'nited States senator next year. Mr.

Prudden however, says that he may make a Of finite statement within a short time and admitted that he had given some thought to the proposition. Since the creation of the Food Preparedness Committee. Prudden has devoted his entire time to this work and more recently has been delving ir.to the coal situation. Several years ago Mr. Trodden was a candidate for the republican nom ination for member of the state board vt agriculture, but was defeated.

That has been his only venture in state politics. With Chase S. Osborn an avowed candidate, and the probability that Senator William Alden Smith will seek another term, state house politicians think the 191S campaign will not be devoid of interest Gurd M. Hayes. UBLY TABLOIDS Mr.

Ferries did a rushing business and lost no time recently changed hands for 1500 per I hare. Nom of the stock in the Michigan coal mines Is listed on any of the stock exchanges. It is claimed. The stock is closely held and is not traded to any great extent. Therefore, members of the Coal Preparedness Committee are or the opinion that the phenominal rise in thm value of the stock was not due to any manipulation on the part of brokers.

Make Big Profit. If the big Jump in price was not the result ef promotion, members of the Coal Preparedness Committee naturally conclude that the company Is earning large dividends, and if the companies are making approximately $4 per ton on the output of their properties they are making considerably more than President Wilson permits eastern operators to earn. Information has reached Lansing to the effect that some of the men Interested In the coal mining industry In this state are Inclined to dispute the figures recently published as to the average cost of producing a ton of coal. If this Is the case the managers of the various properties must have erred In their reports cf the state labor commissioner. These reports were filed and sworn to by the -general managers of the various properties and the state authorities have every reason to assume that they are correct.

Want Coal Information If. however, the operators have made a mistake. Governor Sleeper and the members of the Coal Preparedness Committee would like to know about it. It the operators are willing to lay their cards the table and tell the people exactly what it costs to mine a ton or coal, the committee will be wllltn? to listen. The operators want a thorough lnves- tigation.

It is claimed, before President Wilson is asked to establish a maximum price for coal, and it is believed that In this respect the mln owners will be accommodated. Governor Sleeper says that If information he has ienvtd thus far is correct, Michigan mines are charging excessive prices for ti eir product. if the state Is lacking in authority to bring about a change It Is certain that the aid of the federal government will be invoked. In all probability the principal operators In the Saginaw anw Bay districts will be asked to appear here at the next meeting of the Coal Preparedness Committee. GURD M.
