There is plenty of coal to be had. If, under present prices, the coal concerns holding contracts with the Interborough are not making the big profits they had hoped to make, that is no reason why the Interborough should let these coal companies dribble along deliveries at the risk of causing at any moment acute inconvenience to the) public. | tie-up occurred at a “week-end” hour when all re- ials were out of reach, the Public Service Commission offices empty and the people of New York at the mercy of a situation resulting from inexcusable neglect and lack of foresight.

Let them take care, for our authority is supported by the boundless confidence of the people and by millions of sol- diers who are defending us against the German invasion.” Rarely tn the history of nations has a statesman uttered words which civilization so earnestly desired to accept at their full value.
