II has been submitted TO the Presi
dent"
The position taken by the execu
tives was one they understood was
neither antagonistic to the President
proposal nor to the stand they took
week ago Tuesday, in saying they
would have to stand by their guaran
tees to their old employees who had
remained loyal and to the new mel
employed In place Of the strikers.
The terms upon which the rail ex
ecutives agreed to accept Preslden,
Harding's plan were unoffictally sa'o
to be as follows:
First, that the Presidents reques'
that the strikers be taken back Woulo

Boxers Flock to New York.
An Explanation Of Why This City
Furnishes Many Champions.

To The NEW YORK HERALD: In his
letter criticizing the New York Athletic
Commission for selecting New York box
ers for the championship contests Miles
+. Leche overlooks the fact that the
best fighters come from New York. Who
is Happy Littleton? Let him fight Dave
Rosenberg Harry Greb or Johnny VIII
son and he surely would be In for a
nice beating.
Let Mr.. Lcche name anybody from
New Orleans. for example. who would
be logical contender for Johnny Buff,
nyweight champion; Joe Lynch. bantam
champion: Benny Leonard, lightweight
champion; Harry Greb. light heavy
weight champion. or for other cham
pions Of the different divisions.
Mr.. Leche does not realize that
New York Is the boxing center Of the
United States at the present time and
Il the only city where any fighter can
make some real money and get a repu-
tation. Therefore most of the good
fighters make their residence here, and
naturally when determining who is to
be the champion "a New Yorker or some
good outsider is selected TO head the
class. ROBERT JONES.

White Coal in New York.

Hydroelectric energy, which is
called white coal for short, is saving
the people of the Empire State $62,-
500 day on their coal bills. This
Is the estimate of the New York
State Committee on Public Utility
Information.
II the committees computation of
12,500 tons as the daily saving ef-
fected by water power electricity in
the coal consumption OF the State is
correct then the figures represent
ing money saving are conservative.
The committee bases its calculations
on coal at IS a ton. which is probably
considerably less than many public
utility companies have been COM
PEELED to pay, especially since the
miners strike began.
Outside Of New York city electric
light and power companies of the
State generate 1900, 100000 kilowatt
hours of electricity yearly. or this,
water power generated electricity
produces $500 100000 kilowatt hours,
leaving only 4oO,OO0,o0o OF the units
for coal to deliver. These are ex-
clusively upstate statistics. When
1t comes to the city of New York
conditions are reversed. This city
alone produces $500, 100000 kilowatt
hours year, and Of this large total
