FIGHTING HARD
Wet and Dry Issue In England

By United NeNe
LONDON, Oct. S1.-Lady Astor.
the Virginia-born member Of the
British Parliament, is experiencing
the same kind Of political grief over
the wet and dry issue that many
congressional candidates in America
are suffering just now.
In the midst of her strenuous anti
liquor campaign for reelection by the
plymouth constituency, Lady Aston
finds her opponents are asking
whether she has suddenly reversed.
OF at least modified, her hitherto
vigorous wet attitude.
The discussion grew out of the
Cyptic utterance Of Lady Aston when
she was designated tn eofficial con-
sentative candidate.
"If mine were the casting vote to-
morrow to force prohibition on Eng
land, I wouldn't give it." she said.
This statement was never elaborated
upon and her opponents were left
guessing.
Now there are hints that the fight

declaring emphaically that -

Recalls Story About
Cost to Produce
Thousands.

Filing Of the Citizens Gas Com
pany's petition with the State public
service commission for an increase
Of the gas rate to $1.25 per thousand
cubic feet today was the signal for
a declaration of war on the company
by Mayor Shank
ASK for S1.25 for gas?" calculated
the mayor. Say, We'll do everything
we can to go right after them on
that. Why, We were going to try to
cut them down to so cents again.
Why they had a fire not long ago,
and I have been informed that they
testified to the insurance company
that it only cost them Ga cents a
thousand cubic feet to make gas.
THAT company ought to be thrown
into the hands Of a receiver. I'll
turn every bit of power we've got to
do it too If they're up to something
like this. If there's one company
that ought to be broken, this ones it.
If a fellow got by In the last three or
four years there's no reason on earth why
he can't get by now. We're not going to

Corporation Counsel Taylor e. Gronin-
ger said that he is sorry the company Is
asking lor any raise and that ne VIII
resist the petition. Il shall make a very
careful examination of their demands"
he said
The public service commission now has
an expert investigating the company's
financial status and It had been our In
tention to file a petition for decrease
In the gas rate just as soon as this ex-
pert completed his work and made avail
able information upon which we could
act.
We had hoped the company had made
enough out OF the sale OF its by-produc..
particularly coke, TO Justify decrease"
One Of the campaign pledges which Mr.
Shank made both before the primary and
fan elections was that an attempt would
be made to restore 80-cent gas.
