MORE COAL ORDERED THAN AL
1ATMENT -@@-"|+

The coal dealers of the city met re-
Gently to discuss the hard coal problem
in this city so as to make their allos'
,ments in anthracite coal go the rounds
with their customers. 1t was found that
the dealers had more orders for hard
coal than they had coal to fill them
This is probably due to the fact that
some people have put in orders with
two or more dealers. An act of this
kind is punishable by $4,000 fine.
People are urged to use soft coal in
place Of hard coal where they can and
people who operate hard coal stoves are
urged not to start their fires until the
first of December.

NOTHING BUT A SMOKE BARRAGE

TNHAT resolution adopted by tho Repub-
lican City Committee, directing it's
counsel TO draft an act (which will render
it impossible for any member of the Phila-
delphia Cpolice) force to participate either
directly or indirectly in any political ac.
tvities whatsoever" is nothing hut smoke
barrage behind which the men who have
been using the police for political ends are
trying to hide themselves.
We have a pretty good law now which
forbids. not only policemen, but all other
city employees to participate in politics di-
rectly or indirectly. II is chapter 20 of the
laws of 1906. The Mayor and the heads
OF the departments are ordered categori-
cally to dismiss from Office any one who
violates the law.
The city committee by adopting its res.
olution admits that the police are in poll
tics Why does it not demand that the
Director Of Public Safety dismiss tho guilty
instead Of wasting its time passing a
camouhaging resolution?
Captain Mills is legally impotent to
punish policemen guilty OF political ac-
tivity, for that power rests under the
charter I'm the hands of the Director of
Public Safety. Director Wilson has not
exercised that power in the past and there
is no reason to believe he will exercise il
in the future. II we mistake not, one of
the reasons for keeping him in office is to

MORE HOG ISLAND HOGGING

TNHoSE in West Philadelphia who are 10
i be evicted from their homes to make
way for Hog Island shipyard workers can
not be consoled by a sense of cooperation
with the Federal Government. The Fed-
eral Government never did and never VIII
attempt such an amazing violation oil
moral and civil rights. The seventy or
more householders who have been given
"thirty days to get out" are the victims
of spectacular official blundering in the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Admiral Bowles should revoke that order
OF eviction. He should revoke it today.
The possible reactions of such a procedure
upon public sentiment in all parts of the
country are unthinkabe. Men will not
object to leaving their homes to help the
Government. Millions of them are doing
ii. But a semioficial organization which
drives men with families into the streets
is un.American in spirit and un-Amercan
in it's shameful inefficiency.
Hog Island was planned a year ago.
Since then the Emergency Fleet Corpora.
tion has had limitless resources at it's
disposal. 1t has permitted itself to he
dazed and bamboozled by a frowsy clique
OF petty prohteers and so confused that it
now must force a hundred citizens out of
their homes in order to carry out its con-
struction program. The plan, says Admiral
Bowles, may be expanded" The housing
plan, so far as it involves forced evictions,
should be abandoned at once. Otherwise
a nationwide tempest of criticism is Ger.
