Address Protest to State

MINEOLA, Long Island, Aug. "a
Charges and counter charges against
those responsible for the distribution
of coal on Long Island were made to-
day at meeting of the Long Island
Coal Dealers Association in the court
house here. 1t is asserted that Nassau
County is getting shabby treatment,
and resolution protesting against the
unfair and unjust practices which ap-
parently are receiving the support of
the Fuel Administrator of Nassau
County" was adopted. The resolution
calls upon Fuel Administrator D. w
Cook of New York State to make an in
vestigation Of conditions and take steps
to grant relief.
1t is asserted that the Long Island
Coal Company has been granted an I'M

gets all and more than its needs.

had been delivered to the Long Island
Coal Company at Oyster Bay in April
while his own firm had been unable to

Socialists Want City
To Run I Transit Lines
Aldermen to Introduce Ordi-
nance for Municipal Owner
ship and Operation

Algernon Lee, Socialist alderman.
said yesterday that he and his asso-
ciates probably would introduce an
ordinance next week to provide for
municipal ownership and operation of
New York's transit system.
an view Of the declaration of Man
aCer Frank Hedley of the INTERIOR
ough," he said, chat conditions or the
transit systems could not be remedied
without an increase in the carfares, we
must either increase the fares or re-
duce the profits. The whole matter
lies with the public. Messrs. Hedley
and Shonts naturally do not believe in
reduction of profits.
"If the city would run the transit
lines itself and abolish profits we would
find that the employees could get higher
wages without increasing the fares
and men would be attracted to the
transit work instead of there being a
scarcity of labor. Instead Of paying
100000 to the transit managers per
year the city could pay salary of
$4,000 to the transit managers"
