No Job Scarcity in State,
Says Employment Bureau

There are Jobs for virtually every
one in New York State who wants to
work. This assertion is made by rep
resentatives of he-Merchants' Associ-
alton. the Central Federated Union and
the State Employment Bureau, despite
the fact that manufacturing plants
here and there are closing down or
working on a part-time basis.
The oversupply OF skilled. workers
due to- the discontinuance of war pro-
duction with the signing of the armis-
tice has been absorbed by peace-t time
industries and there is shortage of
unskilled workers in many lines.
There is, however, an excess of ap-
plications from clerks and chauffeurs
and from, youths from grammar and
high schools anxious for any kind Of
job, according to Richard A. Finn,
superintendent Of the local State En-
ployment Bureau. On the other hand,
he said, hotel managers are clamoring
for cooks and kitchen assistants, while
it is impossible to supply the farmers
with more than fraction of the help
they will need in the coming harvest.
Virtually all members Of the local
unions of New York affiliated with the
Central Federated Union are employed
and no skilled worker need be with
out job, according to Ernest Bohm.
secretary Of the central body. He ex-
pressed satisfaction over employment
conditions penerally

Coal Plea Of N.
WiIls Continuance
OF Priority Orders

From TAs 1rsavns,s wosAsnosor B.recu

From Ths yrsawrs's Washington BNreox
WASHINGTON, July 10.--Priority
orders for coal movements and the In
terstate Commerce Commission order
giving preference to empty coal cars
routed toward mines will continue in
force Until there is q sufficient supply
Of coal in cities such as New York to
operate all public utilities, 1t was In
dacated to-day.
The commission was told to-day by
Morgan 4. Donnelly, Of the New York
Public Service Commission, that con-
tinuance Of the movement Of coal to
New York is required to prevent a
shut down Of numerous power plants
operating the city's utilities, He
urged that no change be made in the
commissions order affecting the ship
ment of coal.
The coal orders issued by the COM
mission are effective until July 81.
New York does not expect to have an
adequate supply of coal by that time,
and continuance of the priority order
was urged by Donnelly and other in
terasted witnesses.
Donnelly informed the commission
that the lack Of fuel for transportation
plants and for gas plants, which pro-
vide cooking accommodations in nu-
merous homes would be disastrous to
New York. He declared certain Sec
tions of Brooklyn were wholly depen-
dent upon gas, for cooking and in many
instances light. He described the abb
sence OF coal as bringing distress to
hundreds of poor families.
Donnelly pointed out that the Rich
mond Light and Railroad Company had
only days supply of fuel, and that
the New York and Richmond Gas Com
pany had even less. The B. r. T. and
the Interborough, he said, were seri-
ous!y threatened and may have to cur
tail operation unless they we're enabled
through the priority orders to stock up
with fuel. The Consolidated Gas Com
pany, Donnelly said, had only one-tenth
Of its required supply on hand.
Showing the state of the public
utilities in the greater city, Donnelly
said that on June 20 the New York
public utilities had 18S,000' tons of
soft coal, and that by July this
amount had been reduced to 137,820
tons, or falling off of 27 per cent.
He stressed the point that any reduc-
tion in the transportation facilities Of
the greater city would have serious
effect, and he urged that the priority
orders of the commission be continued
in force until New York and all other
large centers were adequately supplied
with fuel.

Grew of Liner Mutiny
When Ordered to Baths
Cleansing Process Ordered When
Cretic Reaches Boston With
No Bill of Health
Spcc;nl Disnntch 10 The Trib,,nc

SPCCidE DtSputcH 10 IHP tribune
BOSTON, Jaly 1O.-The crew of the
White Star liner Cretic mutinied to-
day when ordered to go ashore to be
scrubbed and sterilized. Some few who
already had transferred to the steamer
Natasket, preparatory to being taken
tn Gallups Island, where the scrubbing
was scheduled to take place, scrambled
back on the Cretic when the mutiny
broke out and with the others defied
the officers to get them off the ship.
Finally the ships officials and the
health officers got in touch with the
Italian Consnl and the trouble was
ironed OUT
The CrctlC was detained at quaran-
tine on its arrival from Italian ports,
because she had no bill of health from
the American surgeon at the ships
home port. All the passengers were
taken off after due inspection, those
from the steerage having to undergo
the Gallups Island cleansing process.
Inasmuch as the ship has to be fumi-
gated before it will be released, and
it cannot be fumigated while the crew
is aboard, to-day's muting delays the
getting away of the liner.
Special precautions were taken to
prevent an outbreak by the steerage
passengers when they were taken with
their baggage to Gallups Island There
was none to speak of, however, the
S00-odd passengers going through the
mill almost without murmur.

IN. Y. Central Head
Def Higher
Rail Rates Upstate
Says q -Cent-a-Mile Fare Was
Fixed in 1853 and Would
Be Discriminatory Be-
tween Communities Now

Declaring d two-cents-a-mile fare on
the 290-mile stretch Of railroad be-
tween Albany and Buffalo to be made
quate for proper maintenance and dis
criminatory in favor Of citizens living
along its route, President A. n. Smith
of the New York Central yesterday is-
sued statement discussing the action
mission before the Supreme Court at
Albany seeking to compel restoration
of that rate.
s'The two-cent fare Imitation" Mr..
Smith said, twas placed upon that
stretch Of road in 1853 sixty seven
years sgo-when conditions, Of course,
were utterly different from what they
are to-day. In 1853 two cents q mile
may have been an equitable passenger
rate, but certainly no informed, fair
minded person would contend that the
same holds true now. In, fact, two
cents lin 1853, or even in 1908, was
equal in it's purchasing power Of the
necessities of railroad service to about
standards of money of 1853 cannot be
enforced under the inexorable condi-
tions in 1920 in transportation costs
any more than in anything else"
The railroads president called atten-
tion to the fact that quite aside from
the economic necessity the two-cent
rate was palpably discriminatory in
that it would give few communities
lower rate than that enjoyed by thou
sands Of other communities Of similar
size elsewhere.
"Justice and law" he continued,
rightly forbid discrimination or IA
voritisn in rates charged by common
carrier.
"The government recognized the dis
criminatory character of this old-time
two-cent fare, as we'll as it's INSULT
cheney, Immediately upon undertaking
the operation of the railroads for war
time purposes, and it established a
three-cent fare for this Albany y-Buffalo
territory as we'll as throughout the
country.
"The transportation act of 1920 ex-
pressly compe,s the continuance of
these fares until they are changed by
authority of Jaw. The New York Cen
tran has obeyed the law and has
charged only the fare prescribed by
law. 1t will, of course, continue to obey
the law"
A prediction that return to the old
2. cent fare on the Albany-Buffalo
stretch of road would precipitate
SERIOUS and farreaching difficulties in
the present conditions of rates and
finance" is also made by the railroad
official.
Equitable settlement of the question
is matter IN the public's interest" "
the presidents statement concludes.
Passenger fares should be equal among
communities for equal service rendered
as we'll as sufficient to supply that high
class Of service which the American
people have become accustomed to and
demand"

Canadian Roads Ask
sop. C. Freight Raise
$37, 100000 Deficit Is Sho,on
as Result Of Wage Increases
Similar to McAdOOAauartIH Here

MONTREAL, JULY 10.-The Canadian
Railway Association, representing all
lines in the Dominion, to-day applied
to the Railway Commission for 80
per cent increase in freight rates.
The association announced that the
application was based entirely on pres
ent costs of railway operation, includ-
ing labor and materials. These in
cation, exceed by enormous sums in
creased revenue obtsined from the rate
advance granted in August, 1918.
AT that time wage increases were
given employees based on increases in
the United States under the so-called
McAdoo award. Although these in
creases were accompanied by rate
changes, the effect of the new rates
was to add only $48,000,000 to the gross
revenue of the railways, as against
$4,000, 600 additional wage costs. thus
creating. discrepancy Of $S7,000,000
for the first year.
This discrepancy, instead Of shrink
ing, is daily growing greater, accord
ing to officials. Prices Of coal, rails,
engines and other materials also have
risen, they asserted, more than 100
per cent since the beginning Of the
war.
"The proposed increase is a matter
Of national necessity quite as much
as of railway necessity" declared one
executive. "This is not an increase
calculated to offset any accumulated
losses on the books of any one road.
nor to affect the rate of profit on pri.
vately owned railways. The applica-
tion is intended to obtain for the rail
ways nothing more and nothing less
than compensation for the alarming
shrinkage in the purchasing power Of
the railway dollar"

outlines the future as follows:
I'm extending the 1920 invitation,

To PUT 4 STOP.
To ACC| D { N 7 s.

1t is now against the law to allow
any person under fifteen years of
age to drive or operate an automo-
bile or truck in the City of Stark
vile. It is also unlawful to turn a
car or truck in the middle of the
block on Main Street between Wash
ington and Jackson streets and on
La Fayette between Main and Lamp
kin streets. Offenders will be fined
not less than $5 and not more than
$25 for each offense.
This is the result of two ordi-
nances passed at the called meeting
of the City Fathers Monday night
and which was devoted almost en-
tirely upon the ways and means of
lessening the danger of automobile
accidents and putting stop to the
reckless and careless driving in the
city.
Both ordinances are reproduced
elsewhere in this issue of the
STARKVILLE NEWS and should
be studied carefully by every driver
of the county. Other ordinances
were considered but were tabled un-
