Dealers Unable
 To Make Bid On City Coal Supply

Hectic conditions in the coal indus try, caused by the strike which is now in progress, have prevented four local coal dealers from submitting bids to the city on the price of coal for one year.
 Some time ago, the Board of Con trast and Supply asked local coal dealers for bids on hard and soft coal for periods of three months and one year. Much of the coal which is needed at the present time will be used at the garbage disposal plant.
 Five bids were opened yester- day. and Vincent Brothers was the only concern which would quote a price for one year. This concern quoted prices at SIS a ton for hard and $6.15 q ton for soft coal. Similar prices were named in the other four bids but none of the dealers would contract for more than three months, owing to unsettled conditions at the mines.

PALESTINE WATER
PLAN UNDER FIRE
Concession to Develop Power
of River Jordan Attacked
in London.
By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1922.
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL.


LONDON, June 5.-There Is much
agitation here against Pinthus Ru-
tbenberg. who has been granted a
concession by the Palestine govern
ment to construct irrigation and
hydro-electric works in Palestine
chiefly with American capital. using
the water of the River Jordan and of
branch named Yarmack. The chief
complaint is that he has placed large
orders with German instead of Brit
ish firms.
1t is alleged that the negotiations
nave been secret. but more than a
year ago the writer made public the
full details of the scheme after an
interview with Ruthenberg in which
be outlined substantially the terms of
the concession recently concluded. He
is Russian Zionist. and was former
Alexander kerensky A skilled en-
Gineer. he is confident that through
the use of water power he can great
ly increase the fertility of the soil in
Palestine and supply many industries,
enabling Palestine to support several
hundred thousand more Zionist
pioneers.
The government will be questioned
soon IN parliament. but meanwhile 1t
stands pat The controversy is il
Eliminating. The Times criticizes the
concession, and openly asserts that
the business of mandatory power
is TO FAVOR the interests of it's own
nationals, which, to say the least, is
not the spirit of the league of nations
mandates.

One of the most curious and at the
same time amusing things that has APP
peared in print for some time is headed
To Keep Farmerss Employed and APP
pears IN recent issue OF the Providence
Journal
According to this veracious and au
thoritative source of information, ''th,
farmer works like everything for four
months or So in the round of the year
and potters around the place eigh
mouths" The proportion seems TO BE-
that the farmer would do well to take VI
some outside activity. like job in the
mills, during the winter months and Sc
bring his output nearer to capacity pro
auctions
The Herald does not know how the
farm il" in Rhode Island, but If there i
a class of men who work more hours ir
the day, more days in the week and NOR
weeks in the year than Vermont farmers
we should certainly like to see them. Far
from being what this armchair economist
calls a long vacation, the winter months
on Vermont farms are of the sort that try
mems (and women's) souls.
To begin with. practically every farm
in Vermont is a dairy farm, not a one
crop or produce farm, which the Proyi-
dence man was probably talking about
and milking cows means getting up be
(about twenty-five wattsl, breakfast in
the cold gray dawn and milking done
about the time the early newspaper ed
tions are on the city streets.
Choring around the barn. separating or
churning, carrying the milk to market
getting up fuel breaking roads, etc. are
nerhaps a little less strenuous than high
tension haying but milking time comes
around pretty early and by the time the
evening chores are done, most people are
ready for early bed. At that. il runs into
twelve or fourteen hours work. not all of
it at high speed. of course. but oil of ii
work and good. hard work, too.
One way and another, we should say
that the Vermont farmer works more
hours per day, summer and winter seven
days in the week, than any other class

DOUBLE DECK STREETS

The only saturation point in the au-
tomobile industry says an automobile
man. lis the capacity of the highways"
In city streets and in highways near
large cities, he remarks, capacity has
heen reached already. 1t is possible,
but expensive and difficult, to broaden
or multiply thoroughfares in built-up sec
tons. What then?
"Double-deck streets is the answer"
he says
1t is not new idea. Double-deck
streets have been long foreseen as the
ultimate solution for dense traffic. But
the advent and rapid increase of the au-
tomobile has accelerated the crowding
process and FASTENED the demand for
remedy.
We shall see it. no doubt. before long

level given up mainly or wholly to We
hicle traffic and the upper level provid-

or SO people may wake up all at once
to realization that the whole face of
our cities has been changed, thanks to

FRATERNAL PUBLICITY.

Since agitation was started to compel
publicity for the membership of secret
societies, in order to drive the Ku Klux
Khan into the open. representatives of
several secret orders have announced
that their organizations would not OBJ
ject. Some of them say that they are
actively in favor Of such action. The
idea would be merely TO place the names
Of members on record and make them
accessible to the public.
The president of one society, however.
emphatically opposes public registry. If
this We're done, he says, the members
would become the prey of every fake
promotion schemer in the country and
invite twisting by irresponsible insur-
ance agencies"
Here is an angle to the proposal in
question that must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON, TO be sure 1t would be cruel
and unusual reform that would turn the
membership lists of fraternal orders into
mailing lists for the advertising matter
of any but their own brethren
