INTERESTING LETTER
Former Alma Man Comments on
Conditions.

T. A. Ely is in receipt of an inter-
esting letter from his son, Ralph Ely,
of Sante Fe, who discusses in a force
full way the present social upheaval
which is creating disturbance in all
economic affairs.
We quote the following excerpts
which will be of interest to his many
friends in Alma:
"The social upheaval which | have
feared for So long seems to be at
hand. The street-car men here are on
strike for trivial cause, the police
men are said to be organized as "A
Onion and the switchman of all the
railroads are out in sympathy with
the street railway men. Profiteerng
and arrogance on one hand are
matched by the same spirit in the
men. Maybe in the movement of the
human race toward better conditions,
we may have to pass through suffer
ing, but il all seems so needless We
all want to see the realization of the
maximum Of human happiness, but
it seems TO me that the demands
which are made upon industry are
unfair and unreasonable Greed by
Wall Street has robbed us for years.
1t will be no better to be stripped by
Labor. But it is the same desire to
get, with no desire to give. With it
all is the tremendous influence of the
President in whom many believe,
whom others thoroughly disbelieve,
and many merely doubt. 1t all APP
pears very uncertain to me. The
scheme of Soviet control of the rail
roads is not in itself worse than pri-
vate ownership as we have had il;
but fear that it is quite as danger
Gus. In either the people pro-
vide the money and pay the bills
Bankers have heretofore reaped the
reward Labor will under the new
scheme get the profit, while the peo-
pie pay. 100000 organized workers
back that demand, while 11O,O00,0O
disorganized people must either be
on-lookers or themselves work out
the problem,-and they can't. There
seems to be no real leader in Con-
gress to match the President. who
seems to be entirely with labor's plan.
We must be prepared for change. Is
the President right? Is that why no
great leader is developed?
"On the whole ! feel that my own
future is more secure than that of
the country. 1t may be little slow
but it is coming. | shall play on the
/ square and it will win"

1t is probable that Mexico and Fin

to the international labor conference,
which held its second meeting at the
Pan-American Building yesterday
afternoon and evening. These two ma

Frenchman Objects.
Discussion of the German and Austrian
delegate question lasted more than an
hour yesterday, and came to close
with a sharp dramatic touch When the
ones sided vote was announced Louis
Guerin, who cast the negative ballot,
rose and shouted, 'It is splendid to be

He is citizen of Lille and a leading

the German horde swept down upon the
city all he had in the world except the
members of his family went to the in

sion came along and began to feed and
clothe the Inhabitants of the section.
Mr.. Guerin was put in direct charge of
provisioning the occupied areas, and he
was required by the Germans to go to
Berlin on five occasions to explain his
labors and clear himself of enemy sus-
picions.
And so. in a long speech yesterday,
the citizen of Lille declared he could

PUBLIC UTILITIES
| HERE HAVE GOOD
SUPPLY Of COAL
D. c. Might Be Minus Electric
Light and Car Service if
Strike Lasts Month.

hit by the coming coal strike If the
strike lasts a month. In the latter
event there is high probability that

Has 10000 Tons on Hand.
Officials of the Potomac Electric
Power Company stated today that the
company has on hand 10000 tons Of
coal enough for about fifteen days
supply. This is the largest stock the
company has ever had on hand. Dur
ing the war the power company had
as much as 5000 tons on hand at yari-
Gus times.
Every precaution has been taken to
augment the supply, with the result
that the utilities company has enough
soft coal to run it's engines for half a
month, as stated. After this, officials
stated, the company would be up
against it" with every other similar
company in the country.
On account of it's serving the gov

Washington Gas Light Company, de-
clared today that his company antici-
pates no real trouble. having enough
coal on hand to carry it through"
The Washington Gas Light Company
is on the first priority list.
1t is believed that there is a plenti-
full supply of bituminous coal in
private plants for perhaps fifteen
days, but that after that the city
would face a real soft coal famine.
Accurate figures as to city-wide hold
ings of coal were hard to obtain,
estimates varying so much as to be
practically valueless.
There seems little doubt that all
concerns that could do so have laid
in supplies and are facing the situa-
ton with hope. Officials look for re-
lief from the drastic measures to be
enforced by the government.

In case the strike should drag on
for month the National Capital un-
doubtedly would face a serious situa-
ton. it is believed. Not only might
the electric light and street car facil-
tiles of the city be affected, but in the
extremity government departments
and public schools might have to be
closed.

situation in Washington. Steam
comes easier in weather like this than
it does when the cold winds blow.
