LABOR HOOTS DOWN
LEFKOWITZ SLATE
Central Trades Council Re-
fuses to Indorse American
Party Ticket.

An attempt to have the delegates OF
the Central Trades and Labor Council
indorse the candidates named by the
American Labor party fell flat last night
and was met by laughs and jocular
shouting at the meeting held by the or
ganization at Beethoven Hall. 21C
Fifth street. The motion, made by ar
unidentified but untiring speaker, and
guided by Abraham Lefkowitz Of the
Teachers Union, was not even recog.
nixed by the chair.
The meeting, held primarily to discuss
the payment of prevailing wages tc
workers on the proposed trackless troll
ley systems in Staten Island and City
Island, was to have been addressed by
Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner oi
Plant and Structures. At the last mo.
ment letter was received from the
Commissioner saying that as the or
organization had sent out a prepared
statement regarding the meeting. which
the Commissioner characterized as an
attack upon the administration and q
rude violation Of the ethics of discus
sion" and which had political twist
he would not attend the meeting.
On Sunday last meeting in Beethoven
Hall, the American Labor party, COM
posed of delegates from the Socialist
party, Farmer Labor party and labor
unions, put up a complete ticket for Con-
gress. Legislature. Judges and vacancies
IN the Board Of Aldermen. Among those
nominated for Congress from this city
was Abraham Lefkowitz, who was most
active In every discussion last night,
and under whose whispered guidance the
effort was made to have the ticket in
dorsed.
A large man, whose speech proved his
Irish extraction. and whose flowing
artist tie indicated his political lean
ings. made the effort which was greeted
with the outlaws. Both he and Lefko-
witz participated in virtually every
question discussed and were finally
Z. The railroad strike was injected into
the meeting when David Williams, in
ternational president of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists. made
a plea for cooperation and general sup
port Of the strikers.
: I'VE arc not asking for any financial
aid now" he said, "but we may be in
six months or .so.'' The meeting also
elected James J.. Costello vas athe dele
gate to the State convention of the
American Fedetation of Labor in Au-
gust at Poughkeepsie.
1t was announced that S156,000 had
been collected among the local unions

Was a third party to submit its case
TO the commission-the great American
public. The primary object was the
prompt and just ending of a dispute.
The broader purpose was a search
ing inquiry into the coal industry to
learn all the causes of dispute and find
\ way TO avoid them in the future. 1t
may be desirable to modify the form
OF the commission as originally pro-
posed, because it was first designed to
meet most promptly the exigency then
existing. l wished a settlement at the
conference table where all could be
heard and all be represented ON the
commission.
1T has seemed to me that time to
appraise the situation. the opportunity
to measure the unquestioned fairness
of the proposal and sense the obliga-
tons involved and period in which
to resume production would either avoid
drastic steps on the one hand or clearly
Justify them on the other. The COM
mission will come in due time. There
is an authority above all workers and
operators, and that authority--the
American public--must have an agency
of effective expression.
Thank you for your renewed pledge
of coopera ton and be assured of like
cordial pledges from the executives of
most coal producing States.

CITY COAL SUPPLY
PRECLUDES FAMINE
Public Utilities Have Usual
Stock and Plentiful Supply
I in Sight.

The report that New York is faced
with a coal famine was not borne out
yesterday by a survey OF the supply on
hand. Public utuities-subways street
railways, electric light and gas COM
panies-have the usual surplus stock in
bunkers, alongside docks and in nearby
storage, with thousands of additional
tons in sight or contracted for.
Local manufacturers. according to one
Of the largest coal dealers in the city
are not suffering. There is plenty of
gas coal and no great scarcity of buck.
and the price has not been advanced,
this dealer said. The only real shortage
|is in anthracite. egg sizes. for domestic
heating. This Is virtually exhausted
but there will be no demand before Oc-
tober 10. Many landlords already have
their cellars filled, however. and 1t is
probable il any are caught short they
will use pea coal for heating until the
shortage is relieved.
Short Rations for Winter.
c. e. Lesher. editor of Coal Age, said
last night:
New York Is in no Immediate danger
OF having the subways and other utili-
ties shut down. Stocks are far from
exhausted and quantities Of English coal
are on the way"
Mr.. Lesher, however. predicted short
rations for users Of stove, egg and chest
nut sizes this winter. He continued:

The Transit Supply.
The Transit Commission issued a state
meHt to allay the fears of the timid.
Officials of tho Interborough and Brook
lyn rapid transit companies the state
ment says, report that their supplies
have increased during the last few days.
The statement continues:
"The Interborough has In bunkers,

tenn, the b.. r. T. subway in Manhattan
and the surface lines in Manhattan and
Queens, burns about 1900 tons of coal q
day, while the b. r. T. burns about 1900
tons a day. The Third Avenue Railway
system buys power from the New York
Edison Company.
~The Interborough's recent coal fg-

Thus far no has reached the con-

scientists do not agree.

Archenhold said today, the atmos-

highest mountain peaks OF this world
or at great distances from the earth.
Archenhold's experiments. show,
however, that there are deep grooves
in themoon and that perhaps down in

and plant life. In order TO deter
