The Coal Combine.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
If there ever was an Infamous conspir-

Last fall it was announced that a COM

the time has arrived for people to lay In
their winter supply of fuel. We see the eff

by the local dealers, the prices ranging
from 500 to SIS. Coming, as il does, in
times like the present, it is all the worse
and especially on the poorer classes. SO
many of whom are out of employment, or
working for reduced wages, and when in
comes generally are reduced. 1t is not the
fault of the local dealers, for they are COM
PEELED to pay what the combine demands.

the circular recently issued shows IAN
advance over the actual figures secured
last July of from % cents to S1..y0 per ton -

get this crazy notion Of the sacred mo-
nopoly Of noise and the small boy out Of
our mindA-
Why may not. at least, our District Com
missioners or the War Department provide
that the bands shall give concerts of pa
triotic and popular airs at least twice in
the day on the coming Fourth. and in as
many and as widely remote districts Of the
city as possible? That here. at the national
capital on the nations holiday, not a sound
OF patriotic music should be heard is some
thing to be lamented. How many women
and children and day laborers. who can
rot, on work days. go to hear the concerts
In the parks. and who are too poor to go
with their little ones into the country,
would gladly throng 10 hear a morning
or evening concert Of good music, in our
Deautiiul parks and squares. and to see the
nations flag flung to the breeze, and to feel
that this was done by public authority, as
a. public duty to honor the day Of the ma
lions birth. as well as to make every citi-
zen, even to the humblest and poorest,
happier and refreshed by the recurrence.
would not this be better and more cred
itabie to American patriotism than to at
tempt TO PALATE and continue this mere
celebration by noise-that last resort of a
people deprived of any more civilized and
inspiring mode of expressing or of awak-
ching patriotic sentiments? F. 8.
