AS COAL SHR|NKS
Single Weeks Supply Left.
Profiteering Middlemen
Held Accountable.

NEW YORK, June 27.-New York
city has but one weeks supply OF
coal on hand. A darkened city, with
its Incidental increase in robbery and
crimes and violence: city with all
of its industries crippled: a gasless
city. with thousa nds of its inhabitants
unable to cook their food. and an ele-
vatorless city, with most of the build
ings unable to operate their lifts. with
great loss to business. are but a few
of the dire calamities predicted today
by a prominent official of the public
service committee, unless action is
taken to alleviate the fuel scarcity.
One of the worst situations that has
ever confranted this city has resulted
from the pyramiding of the price of
coal by profiteering middlemen. The
railroads and the utilities corpora
tions are cooperating to the best of
their ability but they are never GER
tain OF having more than twenty-four
hours advance supply.
"This is one instance where the
mine workers are absolutely not to
blame" said the official. Its a hold
up without a gun on the part OF GER
tain persons, who are making eXorbi-
tant profits by selling soft coal for
$16 ton which should bring IS or SO,
or perhaps $40 at the very most.
There are on hand III. 900 tons of
bituminous coal the sort used in pub
lie utilities. when there should be
353. 900 tons. This city should be re-

UPSHAW TO WILSON
Georgia Congressman Asks for
Third Term Statement
From Wilson.

Congressman william ID. Upshaw,
Democrat. OF Georgia, yesterday sent
a letter to President Wilson seeking
to draw from him An expression re-
garding the "third-term" issue. Say
ing that the San Francisco conven-
tion Is about to meet, Upshaw adds
that he "feels constrained to accept
the general invitation given in your
first inaugural address and counsel
with you for the common good"
Upshaw's advice is that the Presi-
dent should not run for a third term
and says the Presidents declination
to run before the gavel falls at the
Democratic Convention would have
"a wholesome and composing effect"
The Georgia member adds:
Permit me to say that I am re-
enforced in this conviction by COM
ments that / have heard from your
strong supporters in every section of
the country. A third term for any Pres
ident is counted by them a dangerous
tendency In any republic. The feeling
seems regnant everywhere that
Washington was right and wise when
he refused a third term, thereby
establishing a precedent for our re-
public that has been mandatory
through all these years"
The Georgia Congressman also an
nounced that he was telegraphing
william Jennings Bryan at the con-
vention advising him as a fellow
prohibitionist that the important
thing about the Democratic platform
is mot to get dry plank in, but to
keep a wet plank out" AS an evan
gelist-member of the House and lee
turer for the Anti-Saloon League, Up
shaw thinks the drys should accept
prohibition as a matter of fact and
not be insisting upon dry" plank
now that prohibition is here.

 "Bolshevist fanatics are determined to destroy civilization, democratic .parIia . ments and the liberties of free peoples. .'' declared the minister.
