Attorney General Palmer has called conference
to be held in New York next week at which there
will be discussion Of the possibility Of reducing the
high price now being charged for coal. President
Wentz of the National Coal association 10 among
those mentioned as expected to attend, but for the
rest it looks like hand picked bunch, and there is
no telling what the result will be. If the governs
ment Of the United States was efficiently organized
and there was the same effort to assist the indus
tries as there Is In England and France there would
be just one poin! where coal would touch the gov
eminent As it coal operators or their representa-
tives are one day doing business with the Depart
meat Of Labor, the next with the Department Of
Commerce or the Department Of Justice and all the
time they are in contact with the Interstate Com
nerce commission and various bureaus Of the De-
parment Of the Interior It is no wonder it is i'm
possible under such system for the coal men Of
the country to maintain uniform policy.

The government has long memory as well as
long arm. Last spring railroad men Indifferent to
the effect it might have upon the business Of the
country broke the contracts their brotherhocds had
with the railroads and went on strike. 1t was fool
hardy proceeding, conceived In spirit Of spite
rather than in the hope that any good would come
Of It. It caused millions Of dollars worth Of loss
and demoralized general business, but BY this time
many Of those who took part in it have almost for
gotten all about it. But yesterday the federal
courts in Chicago began issuing warrants and sub
poeneas and the whole matter will come before the
next federal grand jury in that district Before this
phase of the matter is over some Of the men In
volved are apt TO have more respect for q wage

Black and White

Black and white seems to be quite the
vogue in Eastern fashion centers and. surely,
there is much to recommed things fashioned
Of those two colOrs.
There's no denying the smartness Of black
and white outfits And further point In favor
Of black and white is that very nearly every
woman can wear 1t and look well doing so.
Blouses Of white With black embroidery
are very attractive; black aud white skirts,
black and white hose. and, finally black and
white hats are considered ultra-tashionable.

NEW WORLDS RECORD IN
TRANSCONTINENTAL TRIP
Goodyear's Packard Motor Truck
Comes From Los Angeles to New
York in 13 Days and S Hours.

A new worlds record for 13 days and
) hours for the 3,5O0-mile transcon-
tinental trip from Los Angeles to New
York has been made by pneumati-
cally equipped motor truck of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
The previous record of II days and
3 hours was established in 1913.
When the three-ton Packard that
had hung up the new coast-to- coast
record rolled into New York city it
had travelled from the Atlantic to the
Pacific four times since 1918 and
rolled a total of 100000 miles.
Driven by Howard Sholder and
Herbert Temple. the big freighter
travelled 1000 miles over the Santa
Fe route to Kansas City in days
and 13 hours, despite 80 hours lost be-
ause of bad roads and detours in
New Mexico.
Just IL days after leaving Los An
geles the big truck rolled into the
factories at Akron-a distance OF
900 miles. The drivers relieved each
other every six hours, one sleeping
drivers seat while the other main
tained the schedule.
The truck made its first transcon.
tinental run from Boston to San Fran
cisco in September, 191S-3,700 miles
in twenty-one days. The same truck
travelled with an Army transport
train over the Lincoln highway il
l1919 and since then has been giving
demonstrations along the Pacifl,
coast.
Company officials believe that thu
new record with fts average dail.
run of $50 miles, will stand for som'
time.

IN PASSING RULE
IS URGED FOR WASHINGTON
Operation of Traffic Regulation in New
York and Philadelphia Reported to
Have Proven Practical.

one in the middle of the street. but
each one about fifteen feet from the
curb In the line Of traffic. Each Off
Ger has a semaphore with two arms.
In this way dividing north and south
traffic into two lines, and east and
west traffic in two lines.
One arm controls traffic near the
curb. which proceeds straight ahead.
and the other controls traffic turning
into Walnut street. If the motorist is
| in the line nearest the curb. he must
proceed straight up the street. and II
he is in the other line, on the outside,
he must make the turn
Custom Easier: Time Saver.
So it works out that even when cars
are allowed to pass on either side.
the fundamental rule of making a
turn is adhered to, which seems to be
the principal objection to such a sys-
tenn here.
great majority of District motor
lists have probably never studied the
problem. even when they see it work
ed in another city. AS, for instance,
one motorist returned from Philadel-
pha recently, after stay there of a
week, and reported that the police
force there was very lax as he saw
cars passing each other on the wrong
side time and time again, but never
saw an arrest made. He said that he
even got 10 lHc HdDlI OIL uOlnB IL
himself, it was SO much easier, and
saved time.
When informed that this was per-
missible in Philadelphia. he was much
surprised. but expressed great enthu-
siasm over the idea and declared that
Washington should Immediately fol-
| low in the steps of the leaders in the
solution of traffic problems.
For Universal Regulations.
And last but not least, the adoption
| of the two-way passing in Washing
| ton would be one more step toward
universal traffic regulations, which
every motorist SO heartily desires.
When driving in New York the mo-
torist should be able to follow the
same traffic rules as he does when
driving in this city. And the same
! should apply to the New Yorker wher
| driving in Washington. If he passes
on the right side of vehicle here he
will he arrested, although he does il
day in and day out in his own home
| city.
| Universal regulations will relieve
| the touring problem to great ex-
tent and two-way passing in Wash
ington, a step toward the universal
will do much to relieve traffic conges
ton on the busy thoroughfares of the
city.
