COAL RETAILERS FIGHT
COMMISSION; LEADER
CONVENES OPERATORS

While retail coal dealers were being
urged to combat the special FOOD and
fuel commission by E. E. Heller, presi- |
dent Of the Indiana Coal Merchants as
scciation, in opening its fourth annual
convention at Indianapolis, yesterday
afternoon, Jesse E. Eschbach, chair
man of the commission in question,
was issuing a formal call to coal oper-
ators for meeting Sept. 20 to discuss
regulation of fuel prices.
The hearing will be public and will
be held in the statehouse for the pur-
pose Of obtaining information that
will aid in price fixing by the commits
sion. Notice was sent to approximate
iy 200 Indiana operators, as follows:
you are hereby notified that the
special coal and food commission or
Indiana will, on "Wednesday, Sept. ~.
1920, at 9 o'clock a. m, at the office or
said commission, Room 332 In the
Statehouse, in the city Of Indianapolis,
begin a hearing for the purpose OF
regulating and fixing the maximum
price at which all coal moving in intra-
state commerce in the state or Indiana
shall be sold by jobbers and whole
sale dealers.
AT such hearing full opportunity
will be given for all persons interested
to be heard, to aduce evidence and to
be represented by counsel, and the
hearing will be continued from day to
day until all are heard"
Commission Called Unconstitutional.
Mr.. Heller told the dealers that he
considered the action OF the Leglsla-
ture in creating the commission as un-
warranted interference with the retail
coal trade, permitting an "tncompetent
and uninterested commission to control
the business in an UNCONSTITUTIONAL
manner"
In denying any connection with the
case OF the operators he added:
Neither are we doing this to help
maintain the present high price or
coal, but only because we believe that
the control Of our business is being
unlawfully interfered with in way
not permitted by our constitution
Mr.. Heller also urged that retailers
get coal at the present time even at
high prices to protect their customers.
He suggested that deliveries be made
in small lots for the next GO days in
an effort to relieve the situation.
Anthracite All Going East.
Mr.. Cushing. managing director of
the American Wholesale Coal assoc1a-
ton, explained that there would be
practically no anthracite or smokeless
coal available in Indiana because of
the demand elsewhere for the available
supply.
He declared that 100000 people
have moved to the Eastern states as
the result of war industries and great
ly increased demand for anthracite
coal in New England. where no other
kind of fuel is used extensively. Near
a ~ half Of the small supply of smoke
less coal mined in West Virginia Is

MURRETTE.


Dancing can be the. surcease of
much sorrow if only people would
realize it. says Constance Binney,
Realart's fascinating debutante star.
But, unfortunately, it seems that the
great mass of people believe they must
be in the best spirits before they
dance.
Take the instance of Penelope Penn.
the heroine of "39 East" the Rachel
Crothers' play in which have appear
ed for two seasons and which has
recently been adapted for my use on
the screen. No one realized better
than she the fundamental meaning OF
the dance and the use to which it may
be put.
Penelope had left her poverty
stricken family in her small home
town to come to New York to seek
her fortune. She tried very, very
hard but couldn't find the kind of en-
ployment she wanted and faced worse
poverty than she had ever known. One
night when she was having a partlc-
ularly bad case Of inconsistencies and
the blues and she couldn't control the
choking sobs, she resolved determined
| ly to make herself cheerful.
Jumping out of bed she turned on
| the light and there on the rug Of her
humble room clad in her funny ruffled
pajamas she began dancing to the &C
compartment of her own whistling

young woman newly married to a
man who bears the reputation of be-
ing somewhat of fiirt. He walks the
straight and narrow for the first weeks
of his married life, but falls by the
wayside with such regularity there
after that the bride goes home in tears
and in haste. She tries to forget her
marital difficulties by plunging into
business as her fathers secretary.
In the meantime, Friend Husband is
very repentant and, through an un.
expected and novel turn of events, the
pair are brought together again. Miss
Gish, the ladies will agree, is very
pretty as bride and lively as ever in
her efforts to re-vamp her husband.
The latter is James Rennie, lately re-
cruited from the stage and an excel
lent teammate for the star.
Lillian Gish directed the picture-an
event in itself-and has done a very
creditable job. The release is a

did win her good spirits back.
MURRAY.
THE Whisper Market" the Vita
graph production to be shown at the
Murray theater on Thursday has pro-
vided Corinne Griffith with one Of the
finest acting opportunities of her
screen career AS Erminie North,
wife Of the American vice-consul at
Rio de Janeiro, she gives vigorous
sympathetic portrayal of real woman,
moved by womanly emotions, who
fights bravely to help her husband,
and, unwittingly, falls into the tolls Of
a band of international blackmailers.
1t is story of mystery and adven-
ture, involving the governments of two
continents, and the woman is the
center about which it revolves. Her
good intentions act as boomerangs. 1t
is when she is thus at bay, torn by
conflicting emotions, the prey of fear
and anguish, but with unquenchable
devotion, that Miss Griffith gives of
her very best-and there is no better.
1: is a gripping story, with a number
of big scenes acted with a tensenesS
and honesty which bring the whole
production to great heighth of realistic
drama.

tinually appealing for food cards
and are living at less than half

sent to Prof. Krauss of Vienna
were not sufficient to help the
rabbis and professors of the

much less to extend with that
amount any relief to other parts

THE JEWISH CONGRESS.

We still have to consider one
statement in the reply that we
received from Mr.. Schooner,
when he attacked us for oppos-
ing the Worlds Jewish Congress.
He says in the report: IF we
value life and happiness, we
must obey the demand of reason.
We must give to our Jewish Peo-
pie the form which the mind re-
quires. The Jewish People must
become something real, and cease
to be shadow. We must endow
our people with a headship-
with a Self, in the form of a
Jewish World Congress-"
1t is just because we obey the
demands of reason that we are
opposed to a World Congress.
We do not believe that Reason
demands it-and we are not will
ing to give Mr.. Schooner a mon
opoly on Reason. Our reason is
that we cannot possibly have a
Jewish World Congress, simply
because we are so unlike-when
considered from the point of
view of the differences that we
have developed as a scattered
people. We deny that we have
mo form"-we may not have
that particular form which ap-
peals to Mr.. Schooner.
We deny that we are a shad-
ow, nor has Mr.. Schooner proved
that we are. We have as much
right to deny it, as he has to

and this our correspondent
knows as well as any one else.
We need only refer to the diff
ferent countries in which the
Jew lives. Certainly no one will
maintain that the Jews of Po-
land, or England or the United
States or even Palestine, are
mere shadows.
Mr.. Schooner says that we
must endow our people with a
headship" or "Self" in the shape
of a Jewish Congress. In order
to make a Jewish Congress rep
resentative of ALI. the Jews, we
would first have to agree among
ourselves in the countries in
which we live. If that were posi-
BILE, we might then agree inter-
nationally. But there isn't a
country whose Jews form a unit.
Even in Poland, where it would
be expected that the suffering
and wretchedness of the Jewish
people would unite them, the
Morgenthau Commission was
confronted with no less than
three distinct Jewish bodies
each differing from each other
in their demands, each denying
the allegations of the other, and
each claiming a different solu-
ton of the Jewish problem. For
verification of this statement,
we refer to the recent book of
Mr.. Arthur l.. Goodhart, entitled
Poland and the Minority Ra-
ces," which contains a minute
account of the Commissions do
ings in Poland, written by one of
its members who was altogeth-
err sympathetic to the Jewish
cause. Imagine what a wonderful
thing it would be to have a unan-
unity of opinion with regard to
the solution of the Jewish prob
lem from the point of view of
American Jewry-and by the
way, who and what is American
Jewry? The men who are natives
and whose conceptions have be-
come thoroughly and nationally
American, or the masses of our
immigrant brethren, who still
look upon themselves as a min.
ority" in the sense that that
term is used in Eastern Europe?
Does the reader think 1t will ever
be possible for American Jewry
to agree on anything Jewish, ex-
cept the necessity to do charity
and at that, have we not three
National Relief Bodies instead
