“Produstion is notithe paramount dif- Production ficulty in the coal situation today, it is the difficulty of tramsportation that we smust consider,” said William A. Clark, for the past ten years president of the New England Coal Dealers Association in a talk before the Norwich Rotary club at their weekly luncheon Wednes- day noon at the Wauregan house. Mr, Clark, who was introduced by Luectus Briggs, said in part: The United States in one year pro- duces or mines about 700 millions tons of coal of which 600 millions is bituminous and 80 millions tons hard, or coal for domestic use. Of this 80 millions tons New England receives about 12 million and practically consumes it in one year. The greater part of the anthracite coal comes from Pennsylvania and is mined in an area of about 450 square miles. Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatis Mr. James H.'Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times’ this terrible disease left him helpless and inable to work. He finally decided, after years of easeless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac- cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints. and~ muscles.:and expelled rom the body. With this idea in mind, he consulted physicians, made experiments and final- compounded a prescription that quickly. and completely banished every £n and symptom of rheumatism from system. He freely mave his discovery to others who took It, with what might called marvelous success. After ears of urging, he decided to let suf- “erers everywhere know about his di very through the newspapérs.

Transportation is the big question that confronts us. Many people are under the impression that eoal comes by boat almost difeet' from ' the 'mines.” This is not so for all cdal that ‘comes by boat to New England is brought to New York to the loading pier and from there shipped by tidewater. Sirikes now in effect are holding up the transportation.. At the Maybridge gateway from 1,500 to 1,600 cars are sent through daily. Now, ow- ing to the switchmen's strike, the num- ber is only 400 to 500 per day. At Har- lem the same is true; where in normal times 400 to 500 cars are handled, now only 50 to 70 cars come through. Then the marine engineers' strike. in New York is holding up the transportation by tidewater for only one towboat company is operating at the present time.. All these things -hinder New England from getting its usual supply of coal. The stranger passing through the coal fields of Pennsylvania will tell you that he saw millions of tons ,0f coal in piles there. You have heard them tell you this‘and say that the coal men are stor- ing it. This is mot so for there is no coal stored at the mines and at the pres- ent time very little in other places. This coal that they see in the fields is waste coal and not saleable. If all the -storage places for coal were filled to capacity the total would, not last six weeks. The storage method is .expensive and since the increase in cost of labor the coal companies have decided not to store coal but to educate the people to use the coal :® it comes and keep up, Wwith the production. ‘The only coal in storage at the present time is the small size and out of every hundred tons 40 are below the pea-size coal. The other coal costs the wholesaler about $10.50 to $10.75 per ton and the pea coal must necessar- ily be'sold at a loss or at about $4 to $6 per ton. The big concerns are trying to dictate to the consumer by telling the wholesaler that if he buys a certain amount of coal he must also take a certain amount of the small buckwheat coal. Also there have been many experiments - with heaters to use this buckwheat coal but the conditions in many of the localities! are such that they are not practical. There is also on the market a little|be outlaw or scalper coal but very little gets to the east. The miner at the mines does not know what his pay is as the agree- ment which has been eutered into says that the wage raise shall be retroactive to April 1st and his increase in pay will probably mean at least an increase of §1 on the ton, which will naturally effect the consumer. _The government has a lot of gum- shoe men- at work under the Lever bill and there have been several indiciments. People think that the coal dealer is prof- iteering. This is because When a man receives a bill for his coal he gets it in a lump and not strung out oOver many months. Coal has increased in cost only about 50 per cent. to 75 per cent. during the past eight years, while other com- modities have increased even more. The coal man says the grocer profiteers and the grocer says the drygoods man profit- eers and so on. It is an endless chain. But we must consider the cost and the profit. A dealer may make $5 per ton on one car of coal and on fifteen cars he may have to sell at only $1 profit. It costs money to carry on business, at least 25 to 35 per cent, and everything in the coal business must be cash. Then people say there is no shrinkage to coal. There is, it amounts to about 40 cents per ton and when we estimate the loss on 12 million tons it is quite a little bit of money. The coal dealer is in the same boat as the rest of the business men and it is up to people to adopt the Rotary spirit and pull together. New Members Introduced. Present at the meeting were about 32, including seven guests. TWo new mem- bers, J. Henry Shannon and Dr. Hugh B. Campbell, were introduced to the club and the hand of fellowship was extended to them by President Joseph Christopher Worth. President Worth read a commu- nication from Charles W. Lovett, of Bos- ton, governor of the second district, urg- ing all Rotary clubs to send delegates to the national convention at Atlantic City. After the reading of the commu- nication the chair appointed Joseph N. Weymouth as delegate from the Norwich club. Upon a motion by James L. Crawford it was voted to contribute $25 to the Sal- vation Army drive for funds. The same amount was voted for the Armenian re- lief fund. In a short talk on The Revision of the Tax List Charles R. Butts spoke in fa- vor of this revaluation of property in the town and city and said that he thought Linoleums and kindred floor coverings have a place in the domestic economy which can- not be taken by anything elss.

Blackmar and Adelard Morin. The duet was so pleasing'and well rendered that it was unanimously voted that they be instructed to sing at every luncheon. The baseball committee reported pro- gress and the entertaioment committee was instructed to make arrangements for the entertainment of the New Lon- don club at the Golf club. The meeting closed with the singing of The Star Spangled Banner. , . As local people are taking considerable interest in the Rotary club which has been organized in our city, the following article gives the history and principles of Rotary: The True Origin of Rotary. Rotary came into being with a group of four men seated around an office table. As it happened, each one of the four rep- resented a different calling—one a coal dealer, one a mining operator, one a merchant tailor, and the.fourth an attor- ney. The attorney, Paul P. Harris, wasl the one who first advanced the idea of forming a club different from any other! club then known, and to him belongs the credit for. starting the great Rotary movement. The meeting of the four at which it was decided to organize a club, that now historic meeting of the four original Ro- tarians, was held Feb. 23, 1805, in the Unity building on Dearborn street, in Chicago. It was decided to invite to mem- bership just one man from each different business or professional calling. A printer, a real estate man, an insurance man and a banker were the next four admitted. “Rotary” was chosen as the name of the new club because the members were in the habit of entertaining the meetings in “rotation” at their places of business. As “Rotation club” was somewhat inapt, they decided to adopt the shorter form and call it the “Rotary club.” How Unique Plan of Membership Orig- inated. As the little circle steadily grew in members the principle was still adhered to of having only one representative from each business or profession. This would | be a unique plan and would distinguish the club from other organizations. Then | also such a plan would serve to sustain| interest in the club, promote attendance, and make a member place a high valua- tion upon his membership. Time has proved it to be a plan adaptable to the smaller cities as well as to the larger ones. Later vears proved that there were many other advantages to such a plan. A membership made up of one represent- ative from each business or profession is representative of the community. Such a group becomes an ideal forum for the discussion of public questions and the Hand Saolio-The Sapolio Cailet:Soap for Toilet and Bat Reg. U, S. Pat. Of. e - Hosiery of .8 .

United action by the club is much easier than with a large and cumbersome, membership of several hun- dred or several thousand and it is imipos- sible for those of any one occupation or allied occupations to become numerically strong enough to dominate the policy of the club. The busifiess man himself is benefited, for such association tends to lift him out of the rut of his own business routine, giving him a broader and more sympathetic understanding of other busi- nesses and professions. But, most important of all, it has been the means of increasing the efficiency of the club itself. Every member knows he must be an active member. If he be- comes a laggard, then he is in danger of losing his membership to someone else in his same line of business. That this rule is rigidly observed is one of the reasons why membership in Rotary is considered at so high a premium. Rotary Has Had Marvelous Growth. The Chicago club continued to increase in membe: p. In 1908—three yeéars after the first meetinz—the second Ro- tary club wwas organized in San Fran- cisc Other clubs followed on the Pacific coast, and then the movement soread to the east and then to the south until 16 clubs had been organized by the end of 1910. It was in 1910 that the first convention was held in Chicago and the national as- sociation formed. At this convention Chesiey R. Perry was elected secretary. and he continues to hold this office at the present time. Rotary emerged from a national organization to an internation- al organization two years later at the Duluth convention. A short time previ- ous to this convention a club had been organized at Winnipeg, Canada, and during the convention a cablegram was | i It A d“ i satisfactorily.
