Merely as & mark of respect and honor and in recognition of the new order, the taking of the oath of office as a United States Senator by Mrs, W. H. Felton, the “grand old lady of Georgla” cannot be passed by without respectful comment, ¥t is pecullarly fitting that such an one as she, repre- senting the traditional honor in which woman has been held, should be the first to receive this signal tribute which introduces woman into the highest political council of the world. Buch introduction cannot fail to bhe a good omen for the participation of women in state affairs that is inevit- able. Those who believe filmly in the intelligence of women and their right to sit in the world councils may well feel; also, that their position in those councils ‘will be. allithe stronger if they maintain the nobility of women as represented by this ‘“grand old lady of Georgia,” and demand, as their right, that courtesy and respect from men which was shown always toward 'such as she, the first woman t’ sit in the greatest deliberative hody in the world. . COAL. The coal situation instead of grow- fiig clearer, becomes more complex. The one significant fact is that the dealers—all of them—do not want . the people to become excited and scared and rush to buy coal. They are hoping for warm weather as are coal consumers. When Inquiry is made of them and they find out the inquirer has anything to do with a newspaper they urge that the people be not frightened into rushing and ‘buying coal. That does not look' as though they were behind propaganda threatening a shortage in order that they may profit by the present high prices. : On the other hand the people along the street insist that thé dealers are gouging the public. They *“talk,” but will not state facts and figures upon which one who wants to find out the teuth can base an opinion. One coal dealer insists that $20 a ton has been outrageous. But even that dealer does mot talk of coal on hand - but rather what has been promised him in ten days. He is supplying his cus- tomers and has been supplying them at a reasonable figure. He appears honest in his belief. Then one turns to another dealer, who has plenty of coal, and who says he could sell any quantity of it to Hartford people at $20 a ton; that he has sold some but has put a stop to it, fearing inability to get coal later. Some of the dealers say that the reduction to $18.50 is a mistake be- cause they will not go out and buy coal at the price they have to pay for it, although they can get it at that price now, and these dealers fear that in a couple of weeks, perhaps, they will not be able to get coal even at that high price. We are informed that in Bridge- port, New Haven, New London, Mid- dletown and Hartford the freight is 76 cents a ton cheaper than it is to New Britain, because there there is a “water rate,” We are told of individual cases where persons have been utterly unable to get coal at all. In this clty the Citizens' Coal Com- pany has about 1,200 tons of coal used for domestic purposes, which will be sold for two weeks at $18.50. After that they do not know what they will do unless they can get com- pany coal. company has a good supply, but will not sell to parties in Hartford, for instance, belleving that ‘it will be difficult to get coal at any price after a couple of weeks, and they note the empty coal yards here. Shurberg has bout 1,000 tons, a two-weeks' supply to be sold at $18.560. J. P. Sulllvan has been supplying his customers at $18.00. Berson Brothers have about 700 tons, some of it pea coal, and are able to sell at $18.00 because only a portion of the coal is company coal. Btanley Svea has about 200 tons, price $18.50, and Cohn's Coal company has about 100 tons, price §18.00, Those are the figures. The dealers who have the largest supply do not know how long the reducéd price can continue or whether they will be able to have plenty of coal if the people become frightened. They seem hon- tly anxiols. If they are misrepre- tiug the facts they should go upon even The City Coal and Wood | e - NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVE!\./IBER' 23, 1922, I the stage, for certainly they are won« derful nctors: The Herald has heen criticlsed for printing news of a pos- aible shortage by people who Insish It is playing into the hands of the dealers. So The Herald, which has to buy eoal and which@ates to pay the high price for it as much as does anyone else, and which has working men who hate to pay these high prices—so this newspu- per has tried to fAind out the facts, The Hefald has heard Plenty of rumors, It is liable to mistakes, like other organizations, The = Herald would give a great deal to get hold of some facts showing how, where and when it might find a way to get enough coal at a low price to assure plenty of coal for the people of New Britain for this winter. ¥acts, facts, facts, are what The Herald wants, not complaints and rumors. Anyone knowing facts bearing upon this situa- tion will find a ready audicnce in The Herald office, for it many CUTTING OFF THE PARK, Again it is proposed, by some Indi- viduals, to cut a liberal slice off the park at the center of the city. Citi- zens of the community should pro- test forcibly against such action, it would be a desecration of public property to serve private interests to eliminate even one tree from the patch of green which sets off the sur- roundings of the business center. The traffic problem in the.center is becoming acute, there must be some steps taken to remedy matters. Mer- chants who object to one way traffic for all automobiles have chosen the cutting of the park as a remedy. In other words, in an effort to keep the maximum amount of trade going by their places of business they have asked the public to give of its prop- erty, But it {s our bellef that, in the conception that removing a portion of the park will serve the desired pur- pose, they are mistaken. West Main street ctit diagonally across the park to Church street. Imagine the large triangle of pavement cre- ated by this act. How many machines could cut across it at any angle? Suppose a driver was coming out of Chureh street to go up West Main. Could he go direct? Not at all. He would have too many machines com- ing .the opposite direction to meet. For the sake of order he would have to be routed well towards the National bank corner before turning to his left. ' How about the driver coming the other way and bound north on Main street? He would continue along with the car tracks, finally turning to the left and not using the large area at all. The part that is goined by cutting off the park might allow several cars to travel abreast toward West Main street. But what is the use of making this space to “feed” a street which will not take more than one eéar in one direction. As for cutting off the west side of the park. What is to he gained pro- viding one way traffic is not used? ‘We " should simply be creating a broader thoroughfare to feed from or into the triangle at the south of the park, which is impassable for auto- mobiles because of trolley cars and pedestrians practically all of the time that traffic is congested in other sec- tions, By doing all that has been sug- gested there is no one ‘‘danger spot"” (a point where traffic crosses at an angle) eliminated, in fact there is at least one more created. Routing of traffic in an orderly, systematic man- ner, bearing in mind that as many vcrouu‘lngu as possible must be done | away with is the answer to the traffic problem. One way on the west side of the park, one way on the east and one way side streets as feeders to the main stream is proper, 1t will adopted some day, and it would not cost the city one cent in actual cash jor in real estate to try it until it is be. The other plan, which we sub- mit will make little or no difference, will be dostly in moving water hy- drants and making repairs and we shall lose a little of the natural beauty we have at the center for good i should the experiment be imprac- tical. COURTEOUS CLEMENCEAU, Clemenceau has said that when he visited America fifty years ago he thought the beauty of American women could not be improved upon. But, he adds, he has decided that the American women of today are more beautiful, even, than they were then. The great Frenchman is staying at the home of Charles Dana Gib- son, the famous artist. Anyone who knew Irene Langhorn, who became Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, a quarter of a century ago, was inclined to see in her the personification of the beauty of American girlhood. As she | did not influence Clefenceau's judg- | ment half a century ago, it is quite possible that the traditional courtesy of the French inspired his comment today. age when he is able to see heauty even in the mature. | It is even possible that Clemenceau rather likes the flapper style—or the modified flapper style that. is more noticeable in New York today. probable, however, that when spoke of American beauty in women he did not have before his mind's eye the beauty that parades the Imagine | the modern from to 18 belleved, he judged beauty American women those it hs privilege meet soclally and who see beauty in things other than striking display, of whom I STUDYING TRAFFIO, Oceasion has been taken in these! columns to éommend members of the common council for the time they glve to working for the city, expend« ing time and sometimes money In the Interest of the people, 1t s now reported that members of the ordl. nance committee of the common council are planning to visit several cities In the state this week for the purpose of studying methods of han- dling traffic, which may be lppllcd; to local conditions, ' Very good, We are able to learn from all sources. But the visits to other cities and the study of traffic conditions there should be secondary to the study of eonditions here, One full day spent watching various con- gested points here, and watching the | effect of “unlimited” parking in varl- ous places, would bring greater res) sults than three days or R week study- ing conditions elsewhere, Traffic con- ditions present purely local problems, They vary in different cities’ and in difterent points in the sanve city. And there is this further caution Which should be borne in mind. The members of the committee having the traftic and parking ordinances in charge should disassoclate their own, personal interests from the interests of the people whom they are to con- sider—all the people, The ordinances should be such as will, benefit and accommodate the greatest number of the people in the city.

W. Christ, yes- terday voted to reduce the price of cheéatnut and stove coal from $20 to $18.60 a ton. This was done with the understanding that it was to be an experiment for two weeks, et which time another meeting will be held and further action taken then. It was stated by several, dealers that, according to government prices at the mines, local dealers will lose 17 cents on every ton they sell at this price, Although it was reported that thrée locaf dealers were selling coal at $18 a ton now, it was reported also by other dealers that these men can- not buy cheap enough to sell at that which they purchased at a price un- der the market. Shipments Coming Slowly. While it was stated that there is a slight possibility of New Britain ob- talning more coal in the near future than it has been recently, no definite hope could be held out. One local dealer reported that he buys coal from the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company and has not been able to get a carload here in 35 days. Others who buy from the Le- high Valley, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company and other com- panies atso reported shipments com- ing in more slowly. New Britain does not appear to be getting its full 60 per cent according to those at the meeting, which was attended by about all local coal deal- ers, the fuel commission and Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa. The meeting was held in the Chamber of Com- merce rooms yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It was reported that the situation, which has been represented in press dispatches as growing better, is in bad shape so far as this city is con- cerned. The question of unloading was mentioned. Mr. Christ reported that he had taken the matter wup with Etate’ Fuel Commissioner Thomas W. Russell, who gives New Britain a fairly clean slate on this question. Might Burn Furniture. Mr, Christ asked the coal dealers to drop the price of domestic sizes of anthracite to $17 a ton. He told them he felt they ought to be willing to Icse some money at this ttme. He ex- plained that Governor Lake has ad- vised. Commissioner Russell that he can-have a special session of the leg- islature within five days’ notice to pass a law fixing prices, in case it becomes . necessary, . and . reminded them that he need only report to Mr. Russell .that he refuses to approve of a price higher than $18 a ton and it would start things going. In response tc a suestion as to whether or not the legislature could force men to sell coun' at a loss, if they decided to close up their yards entirely, the commis- sioner stated that he did not think so. He said, however, he has no in- tention of trying to force the dealers to a question as to whether or not the them to shoutder a slight loss in or- der to help a very bad situation. He felt that dealers could buy cheaper at the mines and would avold a loss. This the dealers doubted. He sald the situation in coal here is 80 bad right now that if a heavy snow storm and a consequent freeze-up came in December it would make the situation so bad here that people would be “burning their furniture to keep from freezing.” Coal prices at the mines, Wwhich have been agreed upon by the oper- ators in conference with the Penn-| sylvania fuel distribution commis- sion and approved by the government run all the way from $7.50 to $12 a ton. T.ocal dealers are skeptical of these prices, contending that they have been nable to purchase for as low as $12 at the mines, but that the price has been as high as $14.76. It was stated that operators ignore let- ters or fail to ship the cars when or- dered. Onc Dealer Rebels. Figuring on a cost of $12 a ton at the mines, including the freight of $4.54 to New Britain and handling charges here, the dealers submitted figures to show that it actually costs $18.67 per ton to handle it, including an allowance for shrinkage, etc. F. H. Johnston of the City Coal and Wood Co. announced that he would start this morning selling coal at $19 a ton, but flatly stated that before hy sold it for less than it cost him he would close up his yard. Others threatened to do the same, but were prevailed upon to wait two weeks. Other dealers finally agreed to shoulder the loss of 17 cents per ton, for a period of two weeks.

While buckwheat is anthracite coal, it 15 & very fine steam size, and not very de-~ it can be used in furnaces and is pref- erable to soft coal, But people will not buy the buckwheat and there is i dead loss because of this, which boosts the price to the dealer. One dealer flatly told Mr, Christ that if people would buy 300 pounds of buckwheat mixed with 1700 pounds of nut, stove or egg he would sell it at | $17 a ton, It was announced that if customers will take one-third buck- wheat with their larger sizes their regular dealer will be permiited to supply them with any quantity up to five tons, if he has the coal.
