Coal Dealers Being
Rushed for Orders

The reported approach Of much
colder weather has thrown a scare
into the minds OF coal users and as a
result all OF the city dealers are
swamped with orders. Teams regu-
larly in the hauling service are being
worked to the limit and to keep up
with orders about all the extra teams
that can be found are being hired to
help out on making deliveries.
Dealers assert that while the coal
stocks are not large they are not short
and that with the exception OF steam
coal Omaha has enough on hand to
last couple OF weeks or more, even
il bad storm should come. The
local dealers have been taking advan-
tage Of the mild weather of the last
few weeks and have been buying and
getting in as much coal as possible.
As a result the bins are pretty well
filled.

MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION IRKED
equest for Raise by Superin-

fare Board Starts War.
CHAIRMAN STURGESS MUM

Mayor Dahlman and the city com.
missioners are having a tempestuous
time with their appointive boards. A
few months ago the recreation board
had a blow-up and now the Board OF
Public Welfare is due for a similar
ructon.
Members OF the welfare board are
not satisfied with the policies OF Karl
L. Schneider, their superintendent,
who was engaged last June to take
charge of the work at SIPS a month
for a start.
Mr.. Schneider feels he has made
good and wants $500 a year, the
same salary being paid Superintend-
ent English of the recreation board.
Mayor Dahlman attended meeting
of the welfare board Monday even.
ing and for the first time since the
organization Of the board the mem
bers deliberated in executive session
without the superintendent. Mr..
Schneider sat for two hours IN az,
outer room, waiting TO be called into
the meeting, but he was not called.
He regarded the action of his board
as unusual.
At the meeting Superintendent
Schreiber's policies were discussed
and dissected. Mayor Dahlman did
not favor granting the salary raise
from $l,500 to $2,500 a year.
1t is probable the mayor may bring
the situation before a meeting of the
city commissioners.
Chairman Stutgess of the welfare
board does not care to discuss the
matter. 1t is known that the rcla-
tons between Chairman Sturgcss and
Superintendent Schneider are not as
close as usually may be found between
two men holding similar positions

Rein Receives Word Of
Advance of Cadillac Price

Telegraphic word was received Sun
day by George T. REIN Of the Cadil-
lac company Of Omaha to the effect
that II was found necessary to adj
vance the price of the Cadillac $l60
on December IA.
In speaking Of the advance, REIN
says the Cadillac manufacturers we're,
some time ago, confronted with the
proposition Of reducing the quality
or advancing the price. The cost OF
materials under the 1917 contracts,
which arc now made and being made,
is much higher, and the company
rather than reduce the quality ad-
yanced the price.
