LONDON. March 23.--Never has
modern England Witnessed such
scenes Of widespread suffering as ex-
listed today. Not a single community
in England Scotland and Wales but
is affected. Tho toll OF the present coal
strike not alone in money but In hu-
man lifes will be appalling
Tho scenes in the cities are particu-
larly affecting There is constant
procession of men. women and chill
dren moving to the pawn shops. White
faced and wan their appearance moro
than words showing the pinch Of hun-
ger, they carry their miserable scan
" pieces of furniture 10 the agents
who advance few pennies at an eX-
tortiunately high rate OF interest.
Thousands of families in the United
Kingdom 1t was estimated today, arc
| living in absolutely bare rooms, every
single article OF furniture and cloth
ing having been pledged to buy bread
TO tide them through the present cri-
sis.
All are utterly without fuel, al
though they have nothing left IN
which TO burn Il even though IL were
available and the suffering from cold
Is pitiable
A typical instance reported today
was from the Hanley pottery district.
There 100000 men, women and chill
dron make up bread line, life being
kept in their bodies by public relief,
SO great is the demand that the au-
thorities can furnish only one meal
daily, that consisting Of bread and
soup.
The government officials were
hopeful today that at the new confer
ence between the miners and the min
owners arranged for Monday, tn

TALKING OVER PLANS

W. J. Wall. personal representative
Of r. Clarence Jones and Company,
New York bankers. came to Whining
ton yesterday and spent the afternoon
looking after the affairs of the Will
mington Southern Traction Company.
Today he is spending in consultation
with Marvel, Marvel and Wolcott,
counsel for the Public Utilities Light,
Heat and Power Company. going over
the terms and conditions to be in
serted in the resolution which will be
submitted to the Street and Sewer De-
partment at an early day. asking for a
franchise to distribute electricity for
light and power in Wilmington.
The previous application fixed A
minimum rate of Z cents per kilowatt
but it was stated at the time that
much lower rates would be given to
those who used larger amounts of
Electricity.
Mr.. Wall said this morning that the
new application would go much fur
ther than the old application, which
was withdrawn. i'm this respect and
would fix a schedule Of maximum
rates that would assure large consum-
ers very low rate. He stated that
he had given his counsel a schedule
OF maximum rates TO be inserted in
the new application for franchise as
follows:
Maximum Rates For Power-0 to 25
kilowatts per month SC: % to 100
kilowatts per month. 1-2 cents; 100
TO 500 kilowatts per month, 4 cents
500 to 1000 klowatts per month. 3 12
cents, 1000 to 1900 kilowatts per
month, cents: 1 800 to 5000 kilo-
watts per month, 2 1-2 cents; 5000
and over, cents.
Maximum Rates for Lighting-O to
% klowatts per iAonth. z cents; 25 to
so klowatts per month. 6 cents: so to
100 kilovatts per month. cents; 10C
TO 200 kilowatts per month, Il
cents: 200 10 400 kilowatts per month
cents; 400 to SEQ kilowatts pei
month, IL cents; 500 and over,
cents
Mr.. Wall states that these rates
will probably be lessened TO a consid
cradle extent if the consumers of VII
mington should give sufficient suppor
TO the new company. but I'm no even
can the rates exceed the above figure
when fixed by the franchise. Thes'
rates will also be subject to a dis
count for prompt payment. Mr.. Wal
stated that the matter was now beini
put into shape by his attorneys, bu
that as two or three other importan
provisions will have to be put in lega
shape he couli not state exactl,
when the proposed franchise would -
submitted to the Street and Sewe
Department.
