COAL PRICES TO ADVANCE REPORT TO FUEL BOARD Advices From Hartford Pre-, dict Raise of 30 to 50
 Gents a Ton. LOCAL BOARD IS
 STILL IN DARK Increased Freight Rate: Given As Cause for Rais- ing Price to Consumer.

According to advices from Hartford the prices on anthracite coal have been increased from 30 to 50 cents a ton on all sizes larger than pea. This announcement is supposedly issued from the office of State Fuel Admin istrator Thomas Russell. Inquiry at the office of the local Fuel Board failed to elicit any confirmation of this fact as both T. J. Pardy, chair man of the board, and William P. Kirk are both out of town.
 The reason. given for this increase is to meet the increase of 40 cents per ton for freight rates that has been allowed by the government. This is the price applicable to Hartford and this rate will no doubt beg raded for other cities and towns in the state ac- cording to freight mileage from dis tribution centers. The towing com panies bringing coal to this city asked for an increase of 25 cents per ton attributing this raise to the fact that they had to increase the wages of the barge men.
 The State Fuel administration has issued an important bulletin upon the delivery of coal to consumers. The bulletin makes it unnecessary to se- cure the federal fuel administrators permission for the delivery of an tracite larger than the buckwteat size to domestic consumers hospitals apartment houses, or county, state

HORSE GETS BEST
 OF A MOTORCYCLE IN A COLLISION
Peculiar Mixup in Which Machine and Wagon Are
 Wrecked by Animal.

A motorcycle and side car owned by Frederick Pellegrino, 26, of 122 Caroline street, and a rag wagon, owned and driven by Sam Wachow- sky, of 51 Federal street were de- molished last night by being kicked to pieces by the horse which was at tached to the wagon. Both drivers barely escaped serious injury as the enraged animal bombarded both ve- hicles with his iron shod heels.
 According to witnesses of the drama, which some entitled The Horses Revenge" it appears that Pel- legrino collided with the rag picker's wagon, but only to the extent of jolt ing it slightly. It was however suf- ficient to get "Howitzer," the horse, wildly excited and he started in "a Ia Maude Mule" to wreak vengeance up- on both the wagon and the motor cycle.
 The driver of the motor cycle got off his machine and fled in terror while the rag picker drived to safety from the seat of his wagon which was soon reduced to matchwood by the infuriated equine. When the Uo- lice arrived tfe street was filtered with rags and junk, mostly composed of scraps of motorcycle and wagon, while 'Howitzer" stood in the center of the roadway with distended nostrils and bioodshot eyes snorting, defiance and trying to kick the remaining fragments of harness off.

Every day numbers of men and women of all ages arrive in this city from every point of the compass and medical authorities are beginning to be worried as many of the strangers who come seeking work in the muni- tion plants are suffering from tuber- culoss.
 Naturally those people find it inn possible to take up the heavy duties which. go into a days. work at any of the big factories and it is only matter of few days before they are applying at the Department of Pub lie Charities for relief. The officials of this department have the most diff ficult task in getting the applicants to tell how long they have been in Bridgeport and from whence they came.
 As a rule they have been in the city but few days and hail from Boston, Philadelphia and New York city, although many have come from the extreme west and south. In all cases their home town is communi- cated with and in every case they 6Ap6nSG of their native city, which is also charged for the treatment they re. ceive while in Bridgeport
 The greatest danger however. ex- ists in the victims of the white plague getting employment in the factories and it has been announced that foremen. inliectors and em- ployment agencies are all on the lookout for applicants who happen to be afflicted with any disease. When they apply for work they are instantly sent to the medical authorities for treatment. but they use many suber- fuges to get past the close scrutiny and both factory heads and city of ficials are trying to arrive at some measure whereby the inux of the un- fit from other cities may be check. ed
 It is not alone the medical side of the case which is causing all the worry to officials in Bridgeport, for the moral and criminal question crops

A few weeks ago Governor Holcomb outlined a plan which was expected to relieve the situation. and asked local judges to tender the names of men, through the Council of Defense, who would act as a commission to ad- just the differences between landlords and tenants, and also to investigate cases in which excessive rentals were being demanded.
 E. H. Greene, manager of the Unit ed States Room Registration Bureau, has been swamped with complaints from tenants who have been the vic tins of heretofore unheand of prof iteering by interruptions landowners, who have not only raised rents from 50 to 100 per cent, but have evicted tenants with children to accommodate families without children. The rec concentrations to MT. Greene from the Bureau of Housing and Transporta- ton in Washington, in part read as follows:
 "The local city government can be induced to pass an ordinance in structing the assessors to consult the records of the Home Registration Service and to increase the valuation
 
 raised This has been done in Water vliet, N Y, at the instigation of the Home registry of the Vatervliet Ar senal.
 'In all cities suffering from rent prof1teering 1t is very important to apply the New London idea devised by a representative of the labor pol icies board early in June. A commit tee on rent profteering Is established under the local Council of Defense; it consists of public spirited representa- tives of labor, of real estate interests manufacturers and general public. There should be one or more lawyers on this committee. This committee establishes sub-committees of three rent adjustment committees of whom one member represents labor and is selected from a list submitted by tn central labor union, one represents the local real estate exchange or the man. ufacturers; the third may be ap pointed by these two or by the cen ltral committee A subcommittee o1 this character sits one day each week By having several such rent adjust ment committees no one individual 1: overburdened.
