The Navy Department is facing
shortage of coal. The entire Atlantic
feet, under Rear Admiral Fletcher, is
off for Cuba for winter maneuvres.
Early in March the line Of fighting
craft is scheduled to pass through the
Panama Canal, bound for San Fran
cisco, to take part in the ceremonies
attending the fair. The lack OF coal,
however, at the Norfolk base may cause
a postponement Of the trip.
The fuel for the dreadnoughts, con-
tracted for during the last year, is at
Philadelphia. 1t was delivered. as the
specifications demanded, and 1t is likely
that IL will remain there. The Navy De-
partment has found it impossible to
convey it to the Virginia coaling sta
ton.
The serious situation with which the
department has come face to face arose
through a desire OF Secretary Daniels
TO smite the "coal trust" Disregardlng
the dozen coal companies on the So
called admiralty list with which the
government has done business for
generation, he awarded the contract for
the 200 900 tons of coal needed this
wear TO the J. VI. Weaver Coal Com
pany. The trust" concerns were gwen
small orders.
Problem for Mr.. Daniels.
I'll uooro- arm has lived up to its
contract. II was obliged to deliver the
coal at Philadelphia, and IT dld so;
Secretary Daniels believes barges couid
he used TO lighter the coal TO Norfolk.
The Navy tug Uncas was ordered 10
tow them, and to the government would
be saved the freight charges.
The barges. however, were condemned
a. unseaworthy. Golfers were DIS
PATCHED to Philadelphia. but because OF
;heir draft il was found Impossible 70
use them. Besides, the golfers or the
navy in use in Eastern waters are pc
inp worked TO capacity in supplying the
feet off the West Indies.
According to reports in Washington
Secretary Daniels is considering can
ceiling part OF the contract with the
Weaver company. II is reported tnst
the old companies, which supplied tne
government with coal at 81 ~ q ton
AZ the time Of the Spanish war and
during the great coal strike, when they
might have made private sales az slZ'
are willing 20 assist MIR. Daniels IN
covering up his error BY shipping eoal
70 Norfolk from their mines.
Chemical tests OF various Goals
made long ago determined the fact that
the fuel taken from West Virginia
fields was best suited 20 the uses OF the
navy. Assistant Secretary OF the Navy
Roosevelt, when the Wilson admins
t,ation came into il own, promptly dis
regarded the old list of companies with
which the government had done pusl-
ness and advertised for bids.
In response the previously favored
firms. including the Berwlnd-W hite
company, the Pocahontas Fuel, the
Chesapeake and Ohio, the MARYLAND
Coal. the New River Coal, the White
Oak Coal and half a dozen other COM
panies submitted bids of 81 30 ton.
The Bureau. of Supplies md Ac-
counts of the Navy Department imme-
diately reported 10 Secretary Daniels.
He saw that the figures named by eaen
company were identical, and promptly
decided the bids scented strongly OF
trust.

500 bundles had been received by 10

equal number were registered at the
East 5lst 81. police precinct a. noon. At
II O'Clock 4.Gq9 bundles had been de
livered at the Fifth Az. headquarters.
and the place had been transformed
into a busy workshop. Almost three
hundred unemployed girls were given
work cataloguing and labelling the
contents OF packages.
Bundles by Carloads.
During the afternoon Mrs. August
Belmont. Mrs Ogden l.. Mills and Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid arrived at the Bundle
Committee headquarters with bundle
laden automobiles. At o'clock in the
afternoon 900 bundles had been re-
coivcd. while from the Lackawanna
Railroad station. in Hoboken, word
was sent forth that fifteen wagonloads
Of packages were awaiting delivery.
The Erie Railroad notified the commit
tee that several carloads Of packages
we're on hand and another large con
signmcut Of bundles was received at
the Bush Terminal, in Brooklyn.
Bundles came from such distant

announced.

-Four hundred unpaid snow removal
workers besicged the Municipal Bull o.
ing yesterday demanding their pay for
eight hours work IN the heart OF the
recent storm. The men declared that
many Of them had walked all the way
from The Bronx in order to demand the
81 40 due them. Commissioner Eether-
81 n placed the blame for failure to
pay the shovellers on the Finance De
partment.
Later Sheppard Morgan, secretary Of
the Finance Department. insisted that
only about two out OF every three men
who worked in the emergency snow

From east side, west side, all
around the town in the words Of the
old-time popular song, bundles and
packages were sent forth yesterday TO
the Central Bundle Day Committee
headquarters, at 2lO Fifth av. Small
bundles, large bundles, packing cases
and tiny, paper-wrapped parcels came
pouring in, and st midnight the
deluge had not stopped.
Borne by uniformed district messen-
gers, husky, blue-coated members OF
New York's finest" white faced,
wearied. but enthusiastic school teach
ers and by an army Of private con-
tributors. the avalanche Of bundles &C

Mrs. James Speycr, chairman Of the
Central Bundle Day Committee, di-
rected the activities a. the Fifth av.

sisted by Mrs Vincent Aston and by
Mrs Willard Straight The two latter
will he charged with the arduous task
OF cstsloguing and apportioning the
quantities Of clothing gathered yes
terday by volunteer collection wagons
and through police and school chan
pels in the greater city.
Among those who visited the Bundle
Day headquarters were Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish and Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt. Mrs. August Belmont also had
her limousine halt in front OF the
place and directed the chauffeur 20
leave a large sized bundle with the
committee.

In fact, a procession OF automo biles

string Of bundle-laden pedestrians Wis

The Youngest contr 5utor in the line.
who proudly bore f large package OF

Margaret Slater, two years OIL, who dp-
neared with her father, Charles Slater,
Of 508 West l35th 81. This tiny mes
senger was dressed in a blue woollcn
suit from head 20 toe, and attracted
much attention as she stood IN Inc,
tightly hugging 20 her breast the box
which mad been intrustcd TO her charge.
The Bundle Day Committee an
nounced late last night that there had
not been sufficient time 10 tabulate the
number of packages received. 1t IS
probable that bundles will continue 10
pour in for the next forty-eight hours.
il is estimated. however. that at least
45O. 900 individual bundles viii have
been received and opened before noon

THE GAME OF POLITICS

Amusing thing, this game of
Politics. No, it is game. Nor
does that discredit it. Life itself
is a game" so DR.. Marshall was
wont to tell us. And little use have
we for the man who does not inter-
est himself in the game of State
craft. Every man owes it to his
communitw and his State to as
quaint himself with the everyday
doings of Politics. But this is not
an essay on the duties of Citizen
ship. Just an incident in the game.
For years Newark has been striv-
ing to secure Free City Postal
Service. Delaware Clark worked
for it during his term as Post
master. Mr.. Brown, who died a
few weeks ago, worked for it. He
interested many of our citizens
and business men. A prominent
local Democrat urged agitation in
our columns. Ten Thousand Dol
lars gross receipts, was the re-
ouirement of the Department.
Some months ago, the report of our
office shofed we were entitled to
this service. Mr.. Brown wrote the
Department and secured the regu-
luton required to secure the SER

CONGRATULATIONS

May we offer our congratula-
tions to our friend of The Ledger,
Levi Bowen? Named by the Dem
ocrats as their choice for the
Post Master for term of four
years, he has the approval and
good wishes of all the patrons of
the office. Such a compliment as
he received from his friends must
come with a peculiar sense of
gratitude. To have lived in COM
munity, to have mingled quietly
with it's people for so long time,
and then to have such vote of
confidence is no empty honor. That
Mr.. Bowen is we'll deserving, no
one disputes. His good natured
fellowship, his daily expression of
the true Maryland type of gentle
man, have won this appreciation
from his friends.
And further-as an interested
observer in several political con-
tests, we have yet to see a cam
paign conducted quite so finely as
Mr.. Bowen displayed in his two
weeks unassuming convass. In
this we voice the expressed opin-
ion of the citizens of Newark.
Surely we wish him success.

Club Women Meet
At Women's College

At the exercises held last Satur-
day, incident to the celebration of
the anniversary of the Women's
College, DR.. S. C. Mitchell pro-
posed the establishment of loan
fund from which loans could be
made to aid girls in paying their
expenses through college. The
speaker gave instances of the sue
cess of a similar project else
where, which had proved of great
benefit to the students. The idea
was also advocated by City Socili-
tor Daniel o. Hastings, of Will
mington. The subject was gener-
ally discussed by club women and
it is thought likely that while no
definite conclusion was reached on
Saturday such a fund will be
started by the State Federation of
Women's Clubs, to be put in the
hands of the trustees of Delaware
College.
About sixty club women attend
ed the morning session-an open
meeting of the committee on Arts
and Crafts, and the educational
committee of the State Federation
of Women's Clubs.

BUSINESS In CHARITY

Even charity, put on a business
basis, becomes more effective. In
dividua1 giving while beautiful i'll
sentiment, is not always produC-
tive of the results possible.
In a town the size of Newark
circumstances are constantly ariS-
ing where a helping hand would
render untold benefits. Kindness
prompts us to hesitate to publish
requests for aid, yet instances have
occurred making it next to imp"s-
sible to assist III any other way.
Many of us are not quite broad
enough to see where at times mis-
fortune can OVertake anyone i'll
hustling Newark to the point of
actual need for help. This is,
however, the case in several in
stances.
1t has been suggested that some
of our young people form sort of
sub-rosa lend-a-II land Society.
Not 50 conspicuous as to cause
embarrassment to the one receiving
aid but Just public enough to be
the acknowledged authority by
those Charitably inclined. The or
ganization need not be large to be
amply effective, but such we be-
lieve would serve we'll in this COM
munity.
There are two or three young
women always OH these Missions of
Service, Why should not they
gather around them a few Volun-
teers and put our Charity on busi-
ness basis. Modesty, no doubt
would cause them to refrain from
taking the initiative But looking
at it clearly, their experience i'll
these service campaigns make them
the only logical choice. Such
might lead to all Emergency l1ospi-
tai. Why not? Who knows? But
for the present, let's organize our
giving.

vice. At his request, these were
published. No action was taken.
Why? That's the amusing in
cident in this game.
Local administration of Post
Office about to change. Regula-
tions again printed in The Post.
Council too action on Monday
night to see that conditions re-
quired were met. An envoy from
the department on the ground MAX
ing plans.
Why this sudden enthusiasm and
cooperation? It's one of the points
of the game. And all Newark
asleep.
To secure City Delivery Service
now is good Democratic thunder.
Even lots of Democratic voters do
not know the game. One man
could put the whole thing over.
One Democrat. And if we know
the political complexion of our
leading citizens, we can pick such
Democrat. Council, never. Run
over list of the members of that
body and note their political affil-
iation. Was their action merely
coincident or was somebody in the
game? 1t was a clever play and
may help. But just a tip, our rural
service under the Burleson regime
will not bring much thunder. Free
City Delivery, sure, but give us
better than tri-weekly rural SER
vice. Of course, it is planned to
fix it up before the next campaign,
but hurry up. Politics is a game
It's your move.
