COAL LACK TO
BE INVESTIGATED
Continued from Page one)

lCOnt1HHeQ from rags olSl
Alien f. Vincent, of the Vincent
Brothers coal company, said this
morning. that his concern has not re-
ceiyed any anthracite coal for some
time and that orders now on file call
for four tines as much coal as there
sss on hand in the yards. Small det1F-
cries are being made every day, but
these are only in the most needy
bases How long the supply Will last
depends on the number of deliveries.
In regard to a rumor which Is IN
circulation, that the big coal COM
panies are themselves responsible for
the anthracite strike, Mr.. Vincent re-
marked;
cit does not seem possible that this
can be true in view of the present
circumstances. The coal supply is
low and prices are high, and it does
not seem probable that the operators
would get their own men to go out
on strike under these conditions
Before the war, the old companies
used to mine large quantities of coal
In the summer, and place it in stock
biles. During the war this supply
was entirely consumed, and coal is
aow being sold by the companies as
rapidly as it can be produced at the
mines"
In speaking of The bituminous coal
situation, Mr.. Vincent said that soft
seai is rapidly returning to a nor
nal condition, both in price and
production.
: One local dealer who takes a rather
optimistic view Of the situation is

Howes company.

FORMAN GIVES
HIS REASONS

CONTINUED from Page One)
''The business Of living today means
the business of civilized living. And
the single great act that overshadows
all other acts thus far accomplished
by civilization was the drafting of "a
League of Nations of the World.
Every human being who votes this
year for Cox, and therefore for the
league, is privileged beyond the mis-
givings of few centuries Or even a
few decades ago. He is voting not
only for the peace and dignity and
happiness of his own country, but for
those of the world and the countless
generations to come.
'"This may sound rhetorical" added
Mr.. Forman, "but stop for a moment
and analyze it: Isn't it absolutely
true? If only people do stop to anal
we it and forget the c1amor of the
grouchy, jealous Senatorial clique that
thrust forward Harding like a mock
ing tongue at the face of the country
they cannot choose but vote for Cox
and the league.
And my feeling is strong that the
: merican people Gre not fools. They
think; and thinking. they will vote for
Cox.
Look at Europe: Why is America,
hated in Europe todayH Rabid Re
pubIicans will tell you it's because Of
Wilson. But ]. in common with
thousands of others, who were in
Europe curing the war, KNOW IHdI the
love for Wilson among the masses of
Europe fall little short of worship. 1t
is when the Borahs and the Johnsons
and the Lodges made an assault upon
the work that Wilson accomplished,
upon the national faith and the ma
tional mind, which he, as chief execu-
tive, had the right and power to
pledge, that Europe saw US breaking
faith, scramb1ing out of promises in
sickening revolving way. Then
Europe began to hate US. Governor
Cox is no Mr. Facing like
his opponent. He stands four-square
for national prosperity and the ma
tons honor"

The pioneer firm at present is that

GOODYEAR TIRE
co. SEND 50 BOYS
ON AUTO TRIP
Will Make Pilgrimage to
Grave of Theodore ROOse-
welt at Oyster Bay

Fifty Of Akron's Boy Scouts will
make an automobile pilgrimage to
the grave Of Theodore Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay, l.. l., on July /, to pay
homage to "Thc Greatest American"
and all that his ideals, courage and
spirit Of adventure stood for in the
minds of youth of America.
At the shrine of the lion-hearted
American, the memory Of whom will
never dim, the scouts will hold Il
short service and pay silent tribute
to the great leader of men whose life
was an inspiration to the youth Of
the land.
The third annual trip to be given
by Boy Scouts by The Goodyear Tire
G. Rubber Company, will begin on
June 26, and end on July 10. Selcc-
ton of the so boys will be made
within the next two months at a
field day when various scout troops
in Akron will designate their best
scouts to take a competitive test of the
scout work. The so who rank high
est viii be chosen to make the pill
erimage.
Unlike last year, the trip will cover
an entirely different section of coun-
try. The big, pneumatically cushion
ed trucks from the company's Akron
Boston freight line will carry the
boys 90 miles a day, with four hours
travel in the morning and two hours
and a half in the afternoon. This
is to avoid fatigue and to allow time
for fun and relaxation each day.
From Akron the trucks will travel
to Pittsburg, Bedford, Gettysburg,
Philadelphia and New York, with
stop-over at Oyster Bay. Perhaps
the most pleasant and cargerly anti
cipatcd part Of the trip will be the
thrcc-days stop at the national Boy
Scout camp at Bear Mountain, near
West Point, n. Y. Here the boys
will minglc with scouts from other
sections of the country, compete with
them in athletics and make new ac-
quaintanccs.
On July 2, the return trip will be
started by way of Goshen, Elmira,
Avalon, Buffalo and Niagara Falls,

Guiding the Ball Park and the State
Fair Grounds for parking units that
cannot be delivered.
Only within the past three weeks
has the industry been able to sub
stantially relieve the congestion by
making their own dr%ive-aways. On
Tuesday a single convoy representing
a valuation of better than a quarter
of a million dollars left Detroit bound
for New York.
Illustrative of the enormous losses
to the railroads owing to the present
chaotic dispersion of their rolling
stock ovcr the country is the fact that
over 60 per cent of Packard deliver
les of both cars and trucks are now
being made by the overland route, in
Guiding practically all of the deliver
les that are being made within a IA

miles. Points which are especially
