You are no doubt aware that a serious coal fam

The situation has reached an acute stage and mas
resulted in great suffering and hardship TO the
poor of the cities whose earnings are insufficient

To relieve the situation and alleviate as far as
possible, the suffering now being endured, is the
duty of every connected with the production OF
coal With this end in view. we are prompted TO
address this communication to all members of our
union and request that they cooperate with the

GREATsINGER OUTLINES HIS PLANS.
He Would Elevate Trolley Tracks Alongside
Bridge Yards in Westinghouse.

At a meeting of the executive COMMITTEES of the
Eroollyn League held in the Real Estate Exchange
in Montague-st.. last night, President GTeatsinger
appeared and explained plan which the engineers
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company have
evolved for relieving in measure the congested
condition the Brooklyn Bridge This plan was
outlined in part in the answer put in by the COM
pany last Tuesday before the Railroad Commission.
1t is that the trolley tracks be elevated alongside
the bridge yards in Westinghouse, run across
Sands-st at an elevation, and out beside the reg
uIar bridge tracks until latter and the present
trolley tracks reach the same level.
II was further suggested by President GreatsinSer
last night that the congestion in Fulton-st- and
Westinghouse. might be relieved by running every
possible line down Atlantc-ave, through Court
ct down Fulton-st. TO point just beyond Til
iaryst where the Kings County elevated line turns
into the elevated bridge yards. Here the trolley
