 WELL SUPPLIED
 WITH SOFT COAL
Local Firms Have Sufficient To Last Some
 Time

While the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company is reported to have confiscated forty carloads of coal near Hartford this morning Bridgeport as whole seems to be pretty well supplied with coal. There should be no shortage of either gas or electricity as the re- suit on the impending shortage as the United illuminating company an nounced today that they had over six weeks supply on hand.
 The Bridgeport Gas Light company could not state just how much they had on hand but intimated that their yards were well filled and the sup ply was sufficient to ;ast through the strike.
 The factories also seem to be well taken care of and the Manufactur- CTS Association cannot see any need for alarm in this city at this time.

This statement was made at the company offices despite the fact that it is admitted there are more or less seri- ous delays in the traffic schedule, the worst of which seems to be on the suburban lines.
 MT. Goodwin denied that there was anything like confusion resulting from the installation of the new system. No report on traffic yesterday was re- ceived this morning but indications were that it took a slight slump. MT. Goodwin attributes this to the cold weather and not to the zone sys- tenn.

Replying for the President, Attor- ney General Palmer said:
 Your telegram to the President protesting against the action of the government on the ground that it Is taken against your just demands for living wage is basel on a raisconcep- ton of the facts. The government has not taken sides either for or against the mine owners or the mine workers or their demands in the wage controversy. The law provides that no two persons to the proclamation of peace shall agree or arrange with each other to restrict the output or supply of coal. The government is insisting that this law should be obeyed by both the mine owners and

the mine workers. The wage contro- versy can be settled without concert of action to stop the output of the mines, and the government stands ready now, as it has steadily in the past, to do everything in its power to facilitate an inquiry into the mer- it's of the controversy, but in the meantime the law must be enforced and commissions to stop production cannot be tolerated"

takes in computing fares under the system. They expect this will be eradicated within few days.
 The fact that the lines are delayed by the system cannot be denied, how ever. The writer had occasion to use the trolleys yesterday. It took over twenty minutes to travel from Park avenue to Brewster street and then the conductor made a mistake announcing the fare. It is also a fact that serious delays are being re- ported on the Beardsley park system One man stated this morning that it took him an hour and ten minutes to get from East Main street to Boards ley park and nearly as long to get back again.
 Traffic policemen in the city report that travel on the jitney lines is muc- heavier than usual.

$50 BONUS To DISCHARGED MEN
OF ARMY AND NAVY.
(From The Official Bulletin).


The War Department authorizes
The following statement from the Di-
rector of Finance:
Section LOG OF the revenue act
approved February "a, 1919, nuthoriz
es the payment of bonus of $50 to
officers, soldiers, field clerks and the
nurses Of the Army upon honorable
separation from the active service
by discharge, designations, or other
wise. This bonus is not payable to
the heirs or representatives of any
deceased soldier.
Those who are discharged hcrcaf-
ter will receive this bonus OH the
same roll or voucher upon which they
arc paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $50 bonus should write a
letter to the Zone Finance Officer,
l.umon building. Washington, y. c.,
stating their service since April 4,
1917, tho date of last discharge and
their present address to which they
desire their bonus checks to be sent
and inclosing with this letter their
discharge certificate or military order
for discharge or both, if both were
issued.
Upon the receipt by the zone f.
nance officer, Washington, ID. c., of

charge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mailed
to tn claimants in the order in which

manifestly take considerable time to
