 FREE OF DUTY
IAss0ciatetl Prnssl

PARIS, Sept. 2O.-The French government made an announcement this afternoon that tobacco sent as gifts to American soldiers at the front will be allowed to en- ter France duty free. This is a considerable sacrifice on the part of this country, as a heavy duty is imposed upon all imports of tobacco, and this Is one of the big sources of revenue. However, the concession is gladly made as a compliment to the Ameri- can soldiers who are to fight side by side with the soldiers of the French republic in the war of democracy against au- tOCraCy.

 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Sept. 26.-Hearing of the case of the Stan dard Coal company and other inde- pendent coal operators in Utah. in which the independent coal operat- ors are seeking a reduction in rates on coal from $575 to $4 ton to Pacific coast points, is scheduled to be in Salt Lake City October 5, be- fore Attorney Examiner J. A. Mar tin of the interstate commerce com mission
 The coal operators are also seek charges made by the railroads, whereby Wyoming and other coal companies are said to have an ad- vantage over Utah producers in sup plying Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nebraska and Kansas. In addition. the independent coal operators are asking approximately s500,000 in damages from the Denver & Rio Grande railroad and the Union Pa cific system for alleged discrimina- tion in the distribution of cars. The damage suit was made a part of the rate reduction suit in order that both matters might be heard at the same time by the attorney examiner.
 The coal operators base their con tfntlon that the rates on coal from Utah points to the Pacific coast are too high on the comparison of rates which exist in other sections of the country where roads are ope- rated under similar conditions. In their petition for a reduction of rates the operators maintain that with lower rates they will be able to compete with Australian and Brit ish Columbian coal companies
 The Union Pacific system main tains a differential of 25 cents a ton on coal shipped to Idaho and the Pacific northwest at American Falls, Idaho, in favor of Wyoming operat- ors. Differentials favoring Wyoming opera tors are maintained at other points farther east. The removal of all such differential freight rates is sought.
 The principal parties to the suit are the Denver & Rio Grande rail road, which is the road of origin for all Utah coal, the Union Pacific system, including the Oregon Short Line and Oregon, Washington Rail- road and Navigation company, the Western Pacific, the Southern Pa cific, the Salt Lake Route, and more than 35 connection carriers in the Rocky mountain and middle west ern states.

H. C. L. FILLS GRIEVANCES
Parents of Poorer Class Are Forced
 to Give Up Children

Not war babies perhaps, but high cost of living babies are one of the more affecting manifestations of the inability of the poorer folk to get along against the odds of rising prices; and as q result Oakland is facing the pathetic situation of al, oVerproduction of abandoned children.
 In several orphanages of the city the increase in children whose parents can no longer feed them has become so marked as to create serious prob lem for the social workers.
 At the Ladies Relief Society Or phanage there are 108 tots left in the care of the nurses. as against fifty four two years ago. Of these parent less youngsters. eehty -four are more than four years old and twenty foul are under that age. Most of them have parents living who come to visit them just often enough to keep them from being adopted.
 The high cost of living is telling in q most touching manner" a director of the Ladies' Relief Home said. We would establish more beds if people weren't being pressed so hard for aid for the Relgians, Poles, Serbians and other more dire sufferers from the ter rible war Our babies might be called war babies" too, for it is partly the condition brought on by the war that is making many of them institution children From the San Francisco Bulletin.

MYR|ADS OF ROBINS

 It is not at all uncommon to see few robins in the valley at this time of year. although hey never nest here.
 For the past week or ten days the trees have been full of TO pins. Around the palm trees in particular they have been especially numerous, as well as noisy and rlussy

GARBAGE LAW UP
 ID COMMISSION

As a result of a lengthy meeting of the city commission yesterday morn ing the city attorney and the city manager will confer on the matter of drafting a new ordinance governing the disposition of garbage. It is likely the new ordinance, if adopted, will authorize the city manager to issue permits to individuals to dispose of their own garbage under the restric- tion that such disposition shall be made in a manner conforming to the sanitary regulations of the city. No further action however, is likely to be taken by the city commission, in the matter of the adoption of the pro-
 posed ordinance until Judge Stanford in superior court announces his com
 plete decision with relation to the
 ordinance now in effect.
 Attorney Leon Jacobs. in behalf of
 the Hotel Adams and the American
 Kitchen. presented the view to the commission that his clients as well as all other individuals are legally entitled to dispose of their own garbage as they see fit provided the sanitary regu- lations are observed. The whole affair grows out of contract recently en- tered into by the city with Harry Hurley, who is paid S7,500 yearly to carry away the garbage, and who says 1 that it costs him more than that figure i to handle the garbage. He expected to i derive a small income from the sale of the garbage to stock raisers and in ! the use of some of the garbage in i feeding his own hogs If he is not en-
 titled to haul all of the city garbage it i is a losing venture, according to his
 statement. He contended that the granting of permits to individuals to dispose of their own garbage would be
 violation of his contract.
 By three to two vote, the commits
 sion instructed the city attorney to 1 carry an appeal to the supreme court ] frnm a decision of the SlneriOr court
