CITIZENS TO INVESTIGATE COAL

A movement has been started in New York TO combat
the high price of coal. Having failed to accomplish anything
fhrou h the government agencies except Investigation after
Investigation, the people have decided to take matters in
their own hands TO a certain extent. AT least they are going
ii organize and carry on an agitation that ought to have
some results.
u A comparison of The price being charged for anthra-
cite coal in different parts of the country shows that there is
something radically wrong and the organizers Of the citizens
mo ement in New York are going to find out what it is.
More power to them. The movement is spreading and il
enough people will show an interest it is possible that a
feeling may be aroused that will get something more in the
Way of results than mere investigations.

JTINERANT NEWS CENTER
Daily Letter by Frederic j.. Haskin

government departments. Their
number gained as the war went on.
Few of them lave disappeared. They
are in charge of former newspaper
men and turn out, daily, enough ma
terial to fill the columns of the ord:-
nary newspaper. Specializing on
features of the work coming under
the department or bureau with
which they are connected is the
duty of these agencies.
In the winter of 1918 the eyes of
the world were focused on Paris
and its peace conference. Th1ther
travelled many Washington corre-
spondents and many of them re-
NAMED until the return of President
Wilson at the conclusion of the
treaty at Versailles. Those who re-
| manned in the national capital spent
most of their time at the senate,
where every move made at Paris
had it's reflection.
With the return of President Will
son, interest remained centered on
Capitol Hill for a time; then it went
across the continent with Mr.. Will
son on his tour in advocacy of the
peace treaty. Congress held a minor
place on the stage.
Since the defeat of the treaty in
the senate there have been not more
than a dozen occasions when the
press galleries of either house were
filed to capacity. The reason is not
that the legislative halls do not pro-
vide as good ews as they once did,
but that the executive branches OF
the government usually provide
better stories.
What is more, most newspapers
devote the energies of their writer's
here, as a general rule, to the affairs
of the state and district in which
they are printed. They depend up
on the press associations for the
| stories on congress, while their
| Washington writer's concern them
| selves more with the actions of
their individual legislators. Except
when some member of congress
| hurls an ink bottle at another
member, the average correspondent
is too busily occupied with other
| matters even to pause in his work.
How Dawes Got Attention
Here is an illustration: Brigadier
General Charles G. Dawes was sum-
moned to appear before a House
subcommittee investigating some
phase of the war. II, saw the
newspaper men before he went to
1 lIlG COIlklllttSO Twin ~ ~
there would be interesting dolngs
! there. When he appeared he deliv'
cred himself of a torrent of invec'
tive against those who sought to
| detract from the efficacy of the
American war methods. 1t made
good copy and there were olumn
of it in every paper in the country
Later somebody asked him why he
had used profanity.
1T wanted to get the story and my
position on it in every newspaper
answered Dawes, $50 I swore a lit
tie and millions of people 1t
Had l not used that mild profanity
nobody would have known l was IL
| Washington"
All Of which illustrates that ever
big people at home frequently arc
not heard about on their visits here
1t is a far cry from the last few
weeks of President Cleveland's adj
ministration. when he rarely was
asked to see anybody except his
private secretary and Queen Lii, o
Hawaii, who was calling continually
for SOL. action assuring that islane
kingdom the protection of the Unit
ed States.

NO WANTED

II the legislature does not want to have a scandal Oh
lis hands when it adiourns it will clean up the mystery over
hhe hill that would Dust the present New Jersey Bridge and
funnel Commission. There was absolutely no record OF the
bill having been introduced when the legislature adjourned
last week, but two or three days later the measure was
FOUND on the speakers desk and, on the pretext that it had
heen overlooked. the speaker ordered that it be included
with the bills that had been formally presented.
The whole thing reeks of crookedness and fraud. II
The party in power has not the courage to do its legislatng
In the open it is not fit to be entrusted with the RESPONSE
hiifies OF government. Such a sneaky act as this appears
Ao be is not creditable to the Republican party. 1t would
hot help the party any to go into the fall campaign with
dirty hands. Yet that is what is going to happen if this tun-
rel custer is not cleared up TO the satisfaction of the people

That.all the members of the party
were not killed or seriously injured
seems miraculous, according to mo-
torists who witnessed the accident.
From what can be learned. the
youths were in the neighborhood Of
Oakleys. Crossing. near Scranton,
when the car, geing beyond conrol
of the driver. due to the slippery
condition OF the highway. left the
road and plunged down the en-
bankment.
Smale and Hoyt were graduated
from Central High School in
June. 1921, and were sophomores
at Cornell. 1t Is thought the other
younths were members of promi-
nent Washington families and for
mer Central High School students.
All were members of the Sena-
tors Club at Cornell.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smale left yester-
day afternoon for Scranton and
in a message received by c. NJ.
