A plan has been announced for
saving coal. The scheme purposed
to bring reduction in consumption
to possibly fifty million tons. Fac
tories not engaged in warGwork will
cut their fuel consumption which
will cut the output of the factories.
One Brewing industry volunteered
to cut their supply by 100000 tons
annually. Others will follow such
as paint, varnish, wall paper, con-
dictionary, artificial ice box and
board and glass.

The new ruling on export raw
1918 will be 100000 tons. The
greatest obstacle in the way of ra-
pid construction is the housing ia
cilities at the ship yards.

The war economy campaign had
the effect of making people buy
useful gifts for Christmas instead
of luxurious ones. The luxuries
were far below normal in their sale.
The laborers having more money
spent it more freely and quite a
number of retail businesses attri-
butte their maintenance to this class.
The new rulnig on export raw
cotton for the United Kingdom,
France, Italy or Japan is that no
individual license is required after

MEASURING THE MAN FOR THE

Mr.. Geo. G. Ross,
Editor. Denver Star.

Editor. Denver Star.
Dear Sir:
1t certainly must be gratifying to
all Negroes of Colorado having the
highest interests of their race at heart
10 note the splendid support your pa
per is according Hon. Lawrence C.
Phipps in his candidacy for the nom-
ination of L. S. Senator. 1t is indeed
high time that the Negro should know
his friends and knowing them should
accord the most united support, not
only in their off icial aspirations, but in
any other of their ambitions. So far
as we as a race are concerned, too
much importance cannot be attached
to the calibre of the men who shall
he our representatives in Congress
during the years to come. Never in
the history of our government has
such large problems loomed before the
people as now. The years immediate
Is following the final victory of our
arms over Prussian criminalty will be
momentous.
The Negro and his fearless devotion
TO his countrys cause, his bravery,
sacrifices and 100 per cent. American
ism must be considered in every an
gle of the reconstruction legislation.
Mr.. Phipps stands out as a man, a
friend in fact, whom we can believe in
and trust. He is man of large and
generous benefactions. In this he has
never known the color line. For years
he has been liberal supporter of the
colored branch of the Y. NJ. c. A. in
its great up-lift work. Last spring
when our noble women were struggl-
Ing TO make the National Convention
III Coiored Women's $ Clubs the greatest
meeting in it's history, Mr.. Phipps was

tion for the Advancement of Colored
People and makes yearly contrfbu-
tion to its support, thus assisting this
great organization in its unceasing la
bors to make the United States a safe
and fit place in which the Negroes
may live.
The unbroken silence of the present
incumbent whenever our rights and in
terests hung in the balance. at the
time OF the unjust discrimination
against worthy members of the race
who attended the Moorfield Story ar
gument the Louisville segregation
case, the Memphis and Waco horrors,
and the terrible East ST. Louis TRACE

Saves New York Speedway
for Use of Horses Only

Justice Cohalan, in supreme court
of New York has upheld the stat
ute restricting the use of the Harlem
River Speedway to equestrian and
light carriage traffic, in denying the
application of Walter D. Strauss. as
a taxpayer, for an injunction against
the authorities charged with the en-
forcement of the law, says the New
York Herald.
Mr.. Strauss sought to have the
ban on automobiles using the Speed
way lifted, but Justice Cohalan as
serted it was intended to exclude
vehicles of that kind from the
driveway.
He rules the act was constitution
al, and said if the public is incon-
venient seriously by the continuance
of the use of the driveway for its
present purpose, relief can be OBJ
tanned by the legislature repeating
the statute.
