Berlin, Jan. %. "a. PA bill pro-
viding for local option in regard to regu-
lation of the liquor traffic can come be-
fore the Reichstaq in the form Of a
rider" to the budget of the ministry
OF The interior. II was referred to COM
mitjee for further consideration.
The bill provides that the inhabitants
Of a m may decide by referen-
dun whether and to what extent aIco-
hOlic drinks may be dispensed within the
commune.
Opponents Of the measure pointed out
that such legislation would create a great
precedent. as people soon would be de-
string referendums on other matters
such as smoking. This, it was claimed,
would mean a violation of the principle
of democracy.
DR.. Kraut, executive director of the
anti alcohol federation, admitted that
local option, once introduced, will not
be limited for long to the liquor prob
lem, but will be extended to other pha-
ses of social life. Ibid

Cincinnati with the play. Interest.
ing in connection with the local en-
gagement Is the information from
Mr.. Walkers statistical bureau that

For that matter the play is said to
have done more business than Stu

And this. to the thinking play
goes, means that with Seventh

All of which is pretty much Of a
compliment to the theatergsers Of

EARLY BUYING OF
COAL FOR FALL
URGED BY DEALER
'Demand Accelerated by
European Strike, Says
Company Head.

Buying of coal before higher prices
prevail is expected by Ray Macy,
head of the Peoples Coal and &C.
ment Company. 1109 f. Fifteenth ST.
Expectation Of coal to Europe has
brought about an accelerated de-
mand for coal. coupled with rising
market of eastern grades Of coal, he
pointed out. has resulted in pros
poets for a brisk late summer buy
ing in Indianapolis.
Prices are being maintained at
mines now for only short periods,
which reflects early advance" Macy
asserted.
THE law Of supply and demand
governs coal as we'll as other COM
modities, and with the advance OF
the season for stocking purposes
coal prices are bound to rise.
Railroad statistics show that
freight car loadings are ahead of last
year The fall crop movement will
begin to move soon now and more
cars will be needed for hauling
crops.
Europe is buying more coal as
result Of the coal miners strike,
and that has meant a more active
market. 1t has resulted IN diverting
a large per cent of the coal mined,
especially in the East, such grades
as Pocahontas and West Virginia
semi-smokeless.
Factories are also stocking more
heavily because of the approach Of
March, when mine wage contracts
are to be made for this and other
States of this territory. Prospects
for tie.up have caused many large
users of coal to stock heavily"
Macy urged domestic users to buy
coal before the fall rush. Through.
out the early summer months be ad-
vised early buying in order that a
saving in costs could be obtained.
