FIGHT FOR PRESENT
COALITION WEIGHT
Mid-City Association Pro-
tests Reduction to 1000
Pounds, as Proposed.

Passage of a resolution protesting
against the proposed change In the
weight of a ton of coal from 2,240 to
1000 pounds marked the final meet
ing this season of the Mid-City Citi-
zens' Association in the Thomson
School last night. The. resolution
was drawn up and adopted following
an investigation by the executive
committee Of the association to de-
ternfine what effect the proposed
change in weight of coal would have
upon the dealers and consumers.
1t was stated in the resolution that
70 per cent of all the coal sold in the
District is disposed of in one-ton lots
and that if the change were made it
would cost the dealer as much to
handle 1000 pounds as it would to
handle 2,240. while it would cost the
consumer as much for storage as
would the present weight ton.
g. Further Reason for Protest.
The consumer, it was pointed out in
the resolution, figured the amount Of
coal he has to use through che winter
by the ton, and with a change in the
weight of ton to 1000 pounds 1t
would mean the use of a greater num-
Der of tons. with storage charges on
the small ton as they are now on the
regular long ton.
Copies of the resolution are to be
forwarded to the House and Senate
committees for the District of CO.
lumbia. the District Commissioners,
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions. the Coal Merchants Association
and the Board of Trade.
Police Commended.
A resolution commencing the efficient
work of the police department and the
street cleaning department also was
adopted. Copies will be sent to Com
missioner Oyster, to Maj F. S. Besson,
assistant engineer commissioner; to

sentatives in the view that prohibi-
tion will be to the front on Capitol
Hill. He is convinced Volstead modi-
fication is unattainable. But the
difficulties that have arisen with for
eign shipping lines" said Mr.. Darrow,
"undoubtedly will require Legislative
consideration. That will open up the
whole controversial prohibition issue.
Il am sure Congress never intended
to impose the VolStead act uponalien
governments or peoples, or their
ships. The act specifically exempted
the Panama canal. for instance, in
order that foreign shipping might not
be debarred from traversing il. The
question is, whether an undoubtedly
dry Congress. even at the suggestion
of the Supreme Court when it made
the recent three limit ruling,
will think 1t wise to make any con-
cessionS that might be interpreted
as letting down the prohibition bars"

went on and he looked with dread to
the future, for his family was just at
the age when a steady income was an
absolute necessity.
He shuddered now as he thought of
Christmas, when only a few hours
ago he had been living in happy an
ticipation of the day. He had planned
so many things; so many little sur
prises that would bring joy to his
loved ones; but now that was all over,
for bow could he enter into the spirit
of Christmas, weighed down with care
and dread of the future as he was
now?
Walter Manners had always been q
man who set a great stress upon duty,
and as he went along now the thought
came to him that a real duty to his
family lay before him. For he felt
that he would be inficting a great
wrong Upon them were he to Cos to
them now with the story of his failure
and to spoil their Christmas. What
of his own feelings-surely he could
be man enough to hide them for a few
days for the sake of those he loved!
After Christmas there would be time
enough to tell them the dread news
to let them know what a miserable
failure he was.
He decided then that he would not
go home until his usual homecoming
hour, lest it might create suspicion, so
to kill time he wandered aimlessly
around town. He stopped to gaze in
Peters window as he passed. He
admitted to himself that there was a
vast difference between the appear
ance of this store and Clarkson's.
Here everything was up-to-date and
attractive; the window arrangement
such as might make anyone pause to
look. Once he had preached this
