S|LzERURGESCOAL
REGULATION PLAN
Jersey Governor for Pennsyl-
vania-Anthracite-U. S.
I, Cooperation.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December 26.-Co-oper-
alton between the federal govern
ment, the state of Pennsylvania ana
the various anthracite consuming
states to regulate the anthracite IN
dustry, was urged by Gov. George S.
Silzer of New Jersey in an address
before the Bostary Club today.
The President" he said, sin deal
ing with the question of coal
asked for the power to act In an
emergency. We seem to be In the
midst of an emergency all the time.
whether the federal government
can exercise to the fullest degree
the power of price fixing and regula-
ton or. whether its cannot, there IS
no doubt at all that through the
powers which the interstate COM
which could be given to 1t, or q
similar commission, it would nave
undoubted authority and power TO
eliminate the fraudulent and extor-
tionate practice and the unfalr coni-
petition and control, which are the
largest factors in the curtallmene
of production the creation of short
ages and the raising OF the
price, =
Petition Suggested.
THE people of the thirty anthracite
consuming states should petition
Pennsylvania to take some action.
ss*. Pennsylvania in all fairness is
charged with the duty of seeing that
coal and not slate is sent to us for
consumption. This it can easily ac-
cumplish. We should ask the state
of Pennsylvania to repeal the coal
tax :. 1t is unfair, unjust ana
immoral,
Pennsylvania should regulate and
prevent the payment of extortionate
royalties. This it can also do.
within our respective states we
should be willing to cooperate. our
difficulty, of course, is, first, to get a
sufficient quantity of coal into the
state, and, second, to see that 1t ar
rives here at fair prices This being
accomplished, we can prevent extor-
tion and unfair practices within the
state. If the industry and govern
ernmenlal agencies who should con-
troll 1t fail in their duty to the public
then they have only themselves to
blame If the public in self-protection

D. C. RESIDENT AND WIFE
ASK COURT FOR NEW NAME

Francis Mateika, manager of a
catering establishment, today asked
the District Supreme Court to change
his name to Francis May. His wife.
Christine Cowan Mateika, joins in the
petition, requesting that she be known
as Christine Cowan May, and that
their adopted daughter, Salda, also be
permitted to change her name.
Mr.. Mateika explains to the court
that the difficulty with which ks

of customers to remember the name
interferes with his position. as the
patrons of the establishment have
difficulty in calling orders to him
over the telephone. The petitioners
are represented by Attorneys Leckie,

Now anyone will admit that a'little danger

There is justification sometimes. For i'll

fire is no respecter OF personageS and httle
time goes a long way with IT. 50 there IS
justification for FIRE engine to go to a

ure. our fire houses have been ttted WITH
bells that ring when the engines start thus
giving the pedestrian and The motorist a
CHARGE to flee to some refuge OF immunity
from the engines as they thunder on TO tul-
fill their mission. All this contributes 10 OR
safety and incidentally to our happiness Bit
The great bells in the fire house steepIeS
are not toled as the engines begin their re-

that the ire engine, should not be allowed
to return to the fire housc any faster lIi'n
an ordinary rate OF speed.
