Keep the Step for Passenger Cars
A Semi Weekly Journal subscriber
writes an appealing letter, from
south Georgia town, asking that the
step shall be retained on all pas
senger trains, by which women may
be able to get up and get down with
safety.
She saw a neighbor woman hurt,
when she had no choice but TO Jump
down from train, a distance OF
three feet and complained herselI
of a difficult entrance to the train
with a very lame back. She peg
ged the conductor to get a step lOI
her and he said he had been ordered
to discontinue the use OF this con-
venience.
have many times had to request
q conductor to help me TO rise from
the ground to the passenger tram
because there was no step in sight.
A moments reflection will prove
to anybody that there is communal
danger to womenkind in being forced
to such a strain. There are conul-
tons where permanent and serious
injury can occur in such attempts,
to get up or to get down.
MY correspondent reminds me that
women will attend to such matters

is to plead with men to see that

the stem on railroad trains is timely.

BUSINESS IS FACING
REIMBURSEMENT CALMLY

The business world is facing the
problems of readjustment in a calm
manner, according to a report on gen.
eral commercial conditions made pub
lie last night by the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
The report says there is a wide
spread feeling that there must be such
readjustments of prices as will bring
them to a lower level, assuring sta
bilization of prices and purchasing,
and adds:
1.-THE general desire is not for radi-
cal reductions, but rather for such
gradual declines as conditions may
warrant. Commingled with this is the
knowledge that wages and salaries
have much to do with the cost of
commodities today, and nothing is
further from the general thought
than that there should be substantial
reductions in the income and purchas-
ing power of the many, but rather
that realignment of this nature
should assume the form of readjust-
ment in the line of such wages and
salaries as are not warranted under
the changed situation"

Polish Official Report.

WARSAW, Saturday. December 70
(by the Associated Press).-A Polish
official report concerning the riot IN
Posen on the arrival Of Ignace Jan
Paderewski. who is on his way here.
says the trouble began when allied
and American flags were hoisted over
the city hall
The Germans demanded that the
flags be hauled down. The Poles re-
fused to acquiesce. whereupon the
Germans brought up machine guns
and began firing in the streets, drlv-
ing back the crowds and dispensing
the Polish troops.
Finally the German officials took
down the flags. Meanwhile the Poles
reassemb1ed and began to return the
German fire. The fighting continued
from o'clock in the afternoon TO
z o'clock.
The Germans provoked another In
cident by trying to prevent Pader-
ewski from going about the streets
They called on the British Col. Wade
and told him that If Pederewski was
permitted to go about it would be the
cause of trouble between the Polish
and German populations Col. Wade
made no answer. He merely turned
his back on the Germans and got
into a motor car with Paderewsiki.
The arrival of Paderewskf and
British and American officers has Gre
ated much enthusiasm here. The hope
is expressed that their arrival will
stamp out bolshevism and prevent an
ticipated trouble in Warsaw.

COBLENZ, Saturday. December 2s.-
The steadily increasing number Of I'M
employed men in Coblenz and other
towns in the occupied area Is causing
American officers considerable anxiety.
Many of the idle men are discharged
German soldiers. An official count made
today by the burgomaster shows 500
laborers idle and $50 skilled workmen
also without employment.
Those who cannot obtain work are
entitled to a day bounty Of marks SO
pfennig from the city. Unemployed
laborers have been offered work by the
city at 4 marks per day. but only few
have accepted, as the ordinary wage is
marks a day. Efforts are being made
pre-war occupations, replacing, if neces-
sary, women now holding the positions.
Reluctant to Leave Cities.
Reports from the country indicate
there is plenty of work there, but Off
Gals have found difficulty in inducing
laborers to leave the cities, particularly
in time Of social unrest like the pres
ent.
More than 100000 yards of gray Ger
hands of the Americans from the ware
houses at Coblenz and the Americans
may use it. 1t may be practicable to
dye it and release it for use. In a ware
house in Coblenz-Lutzel, across the
Moselle river from this city. Americans
have found $4,000 pounds of shoe leather
and machinery for repairing shoes. A
plan is under consideration to use this
repair factory for remaking, shoes for
the army of occupation. The machinery
can be operated by the Americans and
the leather is of good quality, showing
that the Germans had everything neces-
sary in the line of footwear.
Footwear in the Shops.
In shop windows in Coblenz, however,
can be seen shoes the soles of which are
made of from fifteen to twenty small
pieces of leather. 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to buy a pair of shoes that is soled
properly.
Material abandoned by the Germans
includes harness made Of paper and steel
breastplates worn by shippers. At Null
helm the Germans left SO many shells
that the work of counting them is barely
begun, although American soldiers have
been busy at the task for more than
week.
