L L GAGER Funeral Director Unless immediate steps are taken to- wards the relief of the coal situation the supply of anthracite in this city will soon be exhausted. As it is the situation has assumed a rather serious aspect for the larger dealers have no more than between two or three weeks" supply and the other deaiers have but one or two weeks' supply while some of them have only two or three days' supply on hand. It is said that the dealers are exper- fencing trouble in getting coal from the mines to tide water points in Penn- sylvania and New Jersey where it is taken in barges and transported to_the various distributing points. The New Haven road has accepted all the barge coal at Allyn's Point that has been of- fered and have handled it promptly, but there seems to be great difficuity in getting carloads of coal from the mines to the barge ports. As the New Haven Yoad has placed an embargo on coal, all rail, the deal- ers can neither get tide water coal nor coal, all rail. Other cities throughout the state re- port similar conditions in regard to the coal supply and in response to ap- peals from various chambers of com- merce in the state, Edward P. Jones, acting president of the Connecticut State Chamber of Commerce, in the absence of President Charles A. Pease, has issued a call for a mecting of the state directors to be held at New Ha- ven today for the purpose of taking such action as seems best in the mat- ter. William A.

The call that has been sent out by Acting President Jones is as follows: To the Officers and Directors of the Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce: It is reported that the fi in many of the towns and cities of the state is so limited that only small quantities are being delivered at a time and that the supply on hand wiil onjy last a few days. In other places thé supply is exhausted and the in- habitants are suffering. As you know there is an embargo on all kinds of coal and none is being accepted for shipment. The Meriden Chamber of Commerce has appealed to the state chamber to act in the matter and ar- range if possible with the railroad company for the shipment of enough hard coal te relieve the distress which is_imminent. In the absence of President Pease and acting under his orders if such an emergency should arise, T hereby call a_special meeting of the direc- tors of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce to be held at Hotel Garde, New Haven, Friday, March 24, 1916, at 2 o'clock, for the purpose ‘of taking such action as seems best in the mat- ter. I would suggest that each direc- tor ascertain just how much coal is available in his town or city for im- mediate use and what the prospect is for future deliveries. It is probable that no coal will be shipped for some time after April 1. It is therefore essary for us to give this immediate attention and ta such action seems wise. EDWARD P.

That the last edition of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce year book is ex- citing much interest throughout the country seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

Central Labor Union Says It's an In- justice to the Working Class. At the meeting of the Norwich Cen- tral Labor union held Tuesday even- ing the members made a vigorous pro- test against the readjustment of rates which went into effect on the Shore Line system as an injustice to the working class, on whom_the burden will fall the heaviest, as they travel to and from their daily toil. It was point- ed out that a person who works In Taftville and who gets on at the fare terminal and rides to fare terminal in Baltic will have to pay 13 cents, or 24 cents a day, which is 14 cents a day more than the old rate. This is only [{ one of many instances which could be cited. —_— e e {__CAN'T FIND DANDRUFF | Every bt of dandruff disappears after one or two applications of Dan- derine rubbed well into the scalp with the finger tips.
