SUBSTITUTE WITH
ALL COAL ORDERS
Continued from page I.

In response to the recent appeal Of
the Delaware Coal Commission 10 the
effect that there should be moro
general use OF soft coal. many dealers
throughout the city report that a large
number OF their customers were maxi
ing use OF substitutes.
The Board of Education has been
making use OF soft coal for some time
and has no complaint 10 make about
IL.
Suggests City Buy Coal.
While the suggestion OF City Coun-
Gilman McNabb. that the city pur-
chase and distribute coal 10 those
most in Rced OF 4 is considered n very
good one. 1t nevertheless seems inn
possible. in view of the fact that city
officials would be powerless To buy
coal because of the ruling made By
the Pennsylvania Fuel Commission in
September. a section OF which is as
follows:
ITO avoid boarding and TO insure
equitable and supervised distribution
anthracite operators arc prohibited
from shipping domestic sizes TO any
retail coal merchant, unless authoriz-
ed by the Pennsylvania Fuel Commits
sion"
This ruling was made by the Penn
sylvania commission for the purpose
OF protecting established dealers. As
the State of Delaware Is under the
supervision OF the Pennsylvania COM
mission IL VIII be seen that unless
the ruling is revoked. or made 10 con-
form TO certain cases. the city OF Will
mingion would be unable to buy its
own coal. Because OF this ruling
also. a local company was prevented
from getting coal a few months ago.
The order covers dealers who have
been Of record from April 1921. TO
April. 1922.
\ well-known citizen in d!scussin:
the suggestion this morning stated
that while he was in favor OF Il. Il
did not seem practicable because the
order Of the Pennsylvania Fuel Com
mission made IL impossible. Rober,
ID. Kemp. a member of the Delaware
Coal Commission. refused 10 discuss
the matter.
Various hospitals in Wilmington re.
port that they have a sufficient guam
tity Of coal 10 last them for about 8
weeks time. While the Physicians
and Surgeons Hospital has on one oi
two occasions run short and has a
times experienced some difficulty il
getting shipments. they reported yes
tcrday that they thought that they
had a sufficient quantity on hand a
the present time TO last for seyera
days.
The only real suffering that ha
been reported in the city because OF
lack Of coal was made known yester
day by 1ne Associated Charities. whicl
reported that several poor families ha'
appealed 10 them for help in gettinl
coal. Tho organization is MAXIM

BAR ASSOCIATION
WOULD CURB JUDGES

The American Bar Associations
committee to prepare a code--a set Of
working rules-for the judiciary In
cludes Chief Justice Taft Of the Unit
ed States supreme court
1t is stated that lawyers and Judge
believe certain arbitrary acts of
judges are not within the law and
have become so common as to be a
menace to the proper administration
of Justice. This. the lawyers say,
threatens to develop in the public, lack
OF respect for the courts decisions.
Instances are cited where judges
are clearly outside the legal functions
of a judge. There are numerous IN
cidents Of the kind which are not only
extra-judicial and unauthorized by law,
but dangerous because the Judge, who
is held to be at all times bound by
the law and to interpret 1t, puts him
self above the law and goes outside
of it to invent a punishment.

MEETING CALL At
CLEVELAND ISSUED
Estate Federation BuIletln.)


The National Conference for Pro
gressive Political Action, which was
organized last February, at Chicago,
has issued a call for a meeting for
December IL and IL, at Cleveland,
Ohio, in the Brotherhood of Lomotive
Engineers auditorium.
The call is issued to all national
and International labor and farm or
ganizations and to state federations
Of labor and to central labor councils; !;
also to cooperative societies and to
the Socialist party and Farmer-Labor
party, and several other liberal or
ganizations.
The results gained in the last elec-
tion are to be carefully analized and
future methods Of procedure are to be
decided upon. The principal question
that will occupy the attention of the
conference viii be whether or not
a new national Liberal party should
be formed, or whether the non-par-
tisan method, successfully pursued in
the recent elections, will be contin-
ued.
The Washington State Federation
of Labor has been invited to the con-
ference but will not be represented,
due to lack Of finances and to other
business requiring the immediate at
tention Of its officials.

SHORT
TO VISIT HARBOR

William NJ. Short, president Of the
Washington State Federation of La
Dor, who is taking a swing around
the state in the interest Of remedial
legislation at the coming meeting of
the state legislature, will be an Alb
erdeen visitor about the middle OF
this month. While here he will speak
at public gathering at a date and
place to be decided on later. probably
in the Polish hall on North Wash
ington street.
The entertainment committee OF the
Aberdeen central council has been at
work for about a week completing
arrangements. Brother Short is well
known on the Harbor and never fails
to bring out large audience. He is
a very able speaker, knows the needs
of the laboring people, and is prob
ably better posted on the labor move
ment than any other man In the state.
At least every union man and Wo-
man on Grays Harbor should come
out to hear him.

NEEDY Of ABERDEEN
GIVEN AID BY ELKS

The Aberdeen Elks have had COM
mittee out for some time combing the
city for those in financial straits.
Quite a number of cases were found
where the family was In actual want,
not so much because of unemploy-
ment as through sickness which pre-
vented the head of the families from
providing the necessary requirements
of the home. All cases of this kind
discovered by the committee were
investigated, reported at the lodge
and provided with ample provisions
and other necessities last Wednesday
evening 1t was the wish of the Elks
that every family In Aberdeen should
have a full larder on Thanksgiving
day.
The work of this committee and
the Elks' club as a whole was not
given much publicity, but as is usually
the case, every good act is soon
known. The charity work of this
great organization was no exception.
Fash basket delivered to the homes
of the needy contained a fowl, sack
OF flour. and a great many other items
for the Thanksgiving dinner. The
provisions would ordinarily retail for
about twelve dollars.

STATE FEDERATION

sy VIM. N. SHORT,
President Washington State Fedora
tlon Of Labor

SEATTLE, Nov. 28.-The election is
over now, and the victory won must
now be capitalized into results for the
workers of our state. A militant cam
paign must now be launched to Sc
cure the enactment Of much remedial
labor legislation By the next legisla-
ture.
The election OF our candidate for
United States Senator-C. C. Dill
on a pro-labor, progressive platform,
and the reputation by the workers
of our state Of Poindexter, together
with all Of the reactionary and vici-
ously antilabor policies that he stood
for and advocated constitute the
greatest victory ever won by the
workers Of our state. The success Of
the poll tax repeal measure, initiated
by the federation, together with the
defeat of the certificate Of necessity
bill and Of the two vicious election
bills opposed by US, is also an i'm
portant victory.
Had the Federation been given the
support 1t was entitled to in its ini-
tiative campaign last spring, it's new
workmen's compensation law, adding
more than million dollars annually
to the pockets of injured workmen,
and the anti-injunction bill, would
have carried. Sentiment in the state
for just compensation for injured
wofkmen is now overwhelming, while
the universal disgust of the people
over the infamous Daugherty. injunc-
tion would have enabled US to carry
our anti-injunction bill. It is a ter
rifle Indictment OF those who, within
our movement, withheld their sup
port and denied the workers Of our
state the opportunity for this addi-
tional victory.

PENSIONS
HER AGED CITIZENS
FOR MANY YEARS

The plight of millions Of wage
earners who at sixty are too old"
for employment and who have never
in their years of service been paid
enough to enable them to provide for
an unproductive old age, makes q de-
mand on the hearts and minds OF
an enlightened and humane people
that cannot longer be denied. The
question is-What can government do
to prevent undeserved sufferings and
humiliations Detailing them, that will
not at the same time pauperize them
or otherwise weaken the social fab.
ric?
France began discussing the need
Of provision for old folk who are
without savings, as long ago as the
French Revolution. Her first step
toward It was the institution in 1850
of a government insurance office.
This state project, which is still func-
tioning, had for its aim the encour-
agement of people to make provision
for their own old age, and 1t was
thought necessary in effecting this
only to give them an insuring mech
anism that would be safe, that would
be run without profit, and that
furthermore would help out the poor
mans insurance with a final gratu-
ity, or subsidy, on the date that the
annuity fell due. There was to be
no such thing as a lapsed policy. The
insured might make his payments
regularly or irregularly, as he chose.
But the earlier he began and the
more frequently he made his pay
ments, the larger would be the amount
of insurance to his credit at the age
Of sixty. when the annuity would fall
due. But the wage-earners, for
whom the institution was especially
designed, as a class have benefited
very little, If at all. For the most
part they have let it alone, and those
rare individuals among them who
have volunteered to insure, have made
their payments so irregularly that the
final result In old age is pitifully
meager return Of from ten to twenty
dollars a year.
Then, in 1910, France established a
system OF state-subsldized compulsory
old age insurance for all wage earn
ers earning less than a given sum

RAILROAD SHOPMEN
DEMAND JURY TRIAL

CHICAGO. Nov. 2s.-Railroad shop
men demand that they be accorded a
jury trial when opposing continu-
ance Of the Daugherty injunction.
The department of justice denies that
the shop men are entitled to a jury
trial on the ground that "the issues
involved are questions Of law"
The shop men are resisting the de-
partment's attempt to have the In
junction made permanent. The shop
men want the injunction dissolved,
while the department insists that con.
Aspiracy, civil war. and revolution are
abroad in the land, and that the IN
junction is necessary to save the
icountry from collapse.
These are the points that the de-
partment OF Justices refuses to sub.
init to jury.
