"Metuchen. May 8, 1922
Editor Evening News:
your editorial of this evening on
the grade crossings in your city
should stir up every person In this
section D..
"A narrow escape of a bus at
Smith street. last Friday evening
was caused by the gateman.
AT about 8 p i. NJ. the writer
boarded a Metuchen bus. at Trust
building corner. As we approached
the crossing the gates were down to
allow a passenger train to 60 south.
Immediately the gates were raised
and the bus started across the tracks.
Within a single rod came a freight
train north. and we had hardly
cleared the gate when down 1t came
and the locomotive passed north.
Surely the gateman had no business
to raise the gate with a train so
near.
do they mean to kill more peo-
pie before 1t is decided what to do?
What has the Utility Commission
got to do with a matter of this kind
anyhow? If there were not so many
COMPOUNDED commissions judges in
these pies probably something would
come to a head.
Probably ,after a few more
GEMS will wake Up and make the
railroad do something.
Very truly yous.

BETTER PRICE ASKED
BY KANAWHA MINES.

CHARLESTON, Aug. 11.vA
differential above the esta blished
$3.50 price for coal to meet the
heavy costs of operators in Kama
wha district has been asked Of
the Federal Fuel Commission, it
was stated today by a member Of
the district fair price committee.
The di:erential would be only
temporary, he declared, and the
price OF coal in the district would
return to that of other districts
as soon as production came suf-
ficiently near to normal to render
this possible.
Operators in this district, the
committee member said. had been
faithfully adhering to the 'Hoov-
era prices although with only
about. is per cent Of normal pro-
duction accompanied by undimin-
ished overhead expenses this re-
suited in selling coal at a loss. It
was to meet this loss, he declared,
that the committee had asked
that they be fixed higher than that
for companies in non-union dis
tricts where full production was
being obtained.
