Welfare Workers
Protest Indiscriminate
Granting Cab Drivers Licenses

A group of women, representing, it
is understood, six welfare organiza-
tons of the city, appeared before a
joint convention of the Augusta city
fathers, Monday evening, in protest of
what they termed the indiscriminate
granting of cab licences.
A committee of three, consisting of
Miss Mabel Conner, Mrs. I. B. Peters,
and Miss Carrie Bradford, were ac-
companied by the police matron, Mrs.
Freeman, who. after brief explana-
ton by Miss Conner. stated that one
of the greatest dangers confronting
thewayward girl here in Augusta was
a certain class of cab drivers. She
said that the first girl coming under
her care was taken fCom a cab driv-
er's car and brought to City hall.
When questioned by Councilman Hus-
sey, Mrs. Freeman said that she had
received a number of unsigned letters
and some telephone complaints. One
unsigned missive was presented as
evidence, giving the name of a cab
driver and she told of an affair which
was to have taken place last Satur-
day night. After being further ques-
toned by Councilman Hussey, she re-
luctantly gave the name of cab driv-
err who had caused some complaints
to have been made. Mrs. Freeman,
however, stated that she possessed no
real, conclusive evidence of q criminal
nature against any one who was driy-
ing cab at this time.
After hearing the evidence. the list
of applications received were referred
to the special COMMITTEES on traffic
who were advised to consult with

WARNINGS!

Buy your winters supply now
Coal is plentiful nOw-but will not
be later On-cOal cannot be cheaper
with existing mining wages and
freight rates. There is no prospect
of a reduction of either. Coal can
not be stored at the mines nor can
dealers store enough to protect this
community. 1t is up to you to pro-
tect yourself. \ small production
in summer necessarily means in
creased cost and a shortage and
higher prices late. This follows
the economic law applying to labor,
wheat, potatoes or coal. We can
serve you quickly and efficiently
now, but cannot be expected to do
so later when weather conditions
ard abnormal demand handicap
us.
Coal sufficient to care for the en-
tire countrys needs throughout
the Fall and Winter months cannot
be mined or transported entirely
during those Winter months, but
must be equitably distributed over
the twelve month period.
To insure the United States
against a soft coal shortage, the
average production of all mines
should be 100000 tons per week
throughout the year. By reason OF
mild winter over the entire coun-
try production began to drop off in
November, 1920,>until at the pres
ent time so much production has
been lost on account of mo de-
mand" that if this condition con-
tinues for another ninety days, not
alone our Pendleton community
but the entire country will face as
grave a fuel shortage as has exist
ed at any time previous.
