Appeal to Whitman
To Assure City Coal
Real Estate Board Wants d
Controller Appointed to
Look After Supply

While the activities Of the Federal
Trade Commission, the price fixing by
President Wilson and the appointment
of a coal controller will help consid-
cradle to improve the coal situation
here. according to the Real Estate
Board. there is no assurance that New
York City will receive its share Of the
coal produced. The board, therefore,
has asked Governor Whitman, through
its committee on coal shortage, OF
which Carlisle Norwood is chairman,
to take steps to protect the coal con-
sumers Of New York.
The board believes that the appoint
ment OF some official 70 keep in touch
with the needs Of the city and state
and to confer with the authorities at
Washington will assure New York OF
It's share Of the output.
In letter 70 Governor Whitman,
urging the appointment Of such an ON
cial, the board said:
in June last the Real Estate Board
% New York appointed committee
on coal shortage, which has kept m
close touch with the anthracite coal
situation a. affecting New YORK CITY
and the state The uncertainty OF
present conditions, With the time only
a few weeks distant when coal will be
again needed for domestic purposes, as
well AZ commercial purposes, necessi-
tstes the taking Of prompt and imme-
date steps 10 conserve the interests
o. coal consumers IN this city and
state.
Although the Federal Trade Com
mission IL keeping 4 close watch on
the whole situation, and although the
President has fixed the price Of coal
and appointed controller, the problem
Of distribution 20 a large extent still
remains unsolved. There il no official
authority 10 protect the interests Of
New York as against the lake region or
other coal consuming communities
throughout the country"

New York Women Open
Convention Wednesday at
Saratoga for Two Days In
tensive Training, Follow
ing Which Drive Will Be
Started to Win Franchise
in November

The first big gun of the 1917 suffrage
campaign in New York State will be
fred this week at Saratoga. The suf-
fragists of the state will gather there
next Wednesday for a two days inten-
sive convention. At this meeting, which
is to include men suffragists as we'll as
gomen, plans will be laid for the nine
weeks campaign, during which the SUI
fragists promise TO show New York that
she neve. before has had a votes-tor-
women campaign worthy Of the name.
This 1917 convention is far cry
from those old days when Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone and Anna
Howard Shaw used to gather their little
bands of the faithful together to talk
and think and plan for the preparation
of their nefarious plots against the
sovereignty of man. For the men in
those DAYS. with the exception Of a few
devoted husbands, were arrayed solldly
against the unwelcome invaders in the
field Of politics, and, with Horace
Greeley at their head, they fought cam
paigns and conventions fervently.
This year, however, the Governor OF
the state. the Mayor of New York City,
q former ambassador TO Germany, the
president Of New York's biggest bank
and the president of Cornell University
will all Journey to Saratoga to address
the women. to offer their counsel and
70 pledge their support. As Mayor
Mitchell puts it for the suffragists;
"The predominant opinion Of the people
Of this country is that the franchise
should be extended to the women, and
it remains only to translate this state
ment into law"
Fear White House Picketing
To translate this statement into law
is what the 1917 convention and cam
paign of the Empire State are intended
TO do. and on November the men Of
the state will have the opportunity Of
making that translation. The suffra-
gists think the battle is already won,
although many friends Of suffrage fear
that the pcketing at Washington by
the militant Womsn's Party has hurt
the cause.
To suffrage eyes, all roads lead to
Saratoga this week Several hundred
women will go by boat to Albany Tues
day night and thence by train TO Sara
toga; others will get out their trusty
