Branch of National Organization Form

At the call of Mayor Frederick ".
Donnelly Of Trenton, n j.. fifty repre-
sentative white and colored citizens met
jointly in the council chamber Of the
Trenton city hall late in August to dis
cuss the conditions growing out of the
large influx of Negroes into Trenton.
1t Is estimated that some 5000 colored
people have taken up their residence in
Trenton during the past six months.
The principal speaker Of the meeting
was Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive
secretary of the National League on
Urban Conditions Among Negroes, at
whose suggestion Mayor Donnelly call
ed the conference. Mr. Jones told
about the leagues work in many other
cities. including Newark. New York.
Chicago. Detroit and Savannah, and
urged that joint community move
ment Of white and colored citizens be
formed to meet the housing, employ
ment and recreation problems Of the
newcomers to the north. He said in
part:
These problems are not new. nor
are they peculiar to the Negro. The
colored groups are usually neglected
by white welfare organizations. who
omit Negroes in their program OF work
Thus the arrival of many of their
southern brethren tends to accentuate
the unfavorable conditions and to
make them more difficult Of improve

COMMUNICATION FROM SAWYER

Editor Independent: s3gr!Tf YiiYsas
.Inasmuch as you have permitted
one side of certain conditions existing
in the fair village of Sawyer to be
barred to public view, we beg to pre-
sent the other side, feeling it also
has a right to publicity, and owing
to the fact that your paper has con-
siderable circulation in the vicinity of
the above named place, we would like
very much to express the sentiment of
majority of the people who, thus far,
have been silent onlookers, but they
feel that the time is ripe for an ex-
preston from the aw-abiding, honest
and intelligent populace.
Sawyer is indeed a fair village, by
location, and by the fact that it con-
tanins number of energetic, pro-
gressive citizens; but it also has that
lamentable drawback, which exasper-
ates every other ipality-per-
nit US to refer to it in the language
of the street-that bum element 1t
always has existed here as elsewhere,
but God permit that in some way it
may be eliminated from decent So
ciety.
This element referred to, not only

but it includes some of our citizens
who ought to know better, but some
where down in their marrowbones is
yellow streak, for, whenever ques-
tons arise for the eradication of these
undesirables from our midst, these
white sepulchers always make them
selves conspicuous with something
akin to a petition, and by thus doing,
try to defeat those things that would
make better, more enjoyable place
in which to live.
Now, friends and readers of the In
dependent, the two parties held up to
public view by the Logan Murmurer,
residents of Sawyer, are each rep
resentative of the two factions we
have intimated as existing in Sawyer,
viz: Those having purity, decency,
sobriety, and all things law-abiding,
and, those who are devotees of John
Barleycorn, who either imbibe inter-
mittently or necessarily; whose ulti-
mate endeavor seems to be to destroy |
the workings of law and order.
There may be an occasional excep
ton to this rule, but at heart they are
united by "bum ties"
Now "Sam," referred to by the
Murmurer Of Logan, stands far above

ASKS AUTHORITY
TO SEIZE COAL

Columbus, o., Dec. 12.-Failing to
head from a similar request made to
DR.. Harry A. Garfield, federol fuel
administrator, yesterday and again
today, Governor Cox of Ohio this af-
ternoon appealed directly to Presi-
dent Wilson for authority for the
Ohio Fuel administration to comman-
deer coal in transit through Ohio for
domestic use.
Governor Cox informed President
Wilson that the people are suffering
from the most serious coal shortage
in the history of the state, with be-
low zero weather prevailing, and ask
ed that immediate action be taken to
alleviate further suffering.
Many schools over the state have
been forced to close down including
Ohio state university, and many
churches are holding union services
in order to conserve the little coal
they have on hand. Many office
buildings are without heat and in
some places business practically has
been suspended.

WHERE TO SAVE MORE

1t has been made so easy to send letters in
cent years that we have grown wasteful of them.
When it was necessary to write every letter in long
hand there limits to correspondence But in
these days of stenographers and photographs and ap
planes for multiplying letters the mails daily
swamped. 1t is effort to send
thousand letters than it would have been twenty
years ago to send out ten.
Another thing. While we saving cores
pondence why not in the size of the used?
Why waste perfectly good paper at time of paper
scarcity gy using large sheet to send letter of
three or four lines? Why not paper of size to
fit the length of the letter? If every business house
in the United States would stop sending out lot of
blank with every letter there would be en-
ormous saving in a year-a saving that would show
up the books something worth while-Kansas

SAVING DAYLIGHT

Reasons multiply in justification of the plan to
save daylight" by moving the hands Of the clock

by bringing about uniformity through federal law

coal in the summer of 1916 by the practice, and
and France savel $40, 900, 900 in fuel and in light
Twelve European countries have adopted the system
some of them as war economy measure but it has
proved advantageous and it's continuance in peace

are said to be only waiting for the United States to
act.

the purpose by rising hour earlier and going

Proponents of statutory daylight saving
summarize the advantages of their plan under five
headings. There is an obvious saving of fuel and
light. An additional hour is given for farm garden
ing. Recreation is promoted and health conserved
by working hour less in the heat of a summer
afternoon. Uniformity with European countries that
