CITY OF NEW YORK. OFFICE OF THE MAYOR. Oct. 8, 1918. Richard B. Enright, Baq., Police Com- missioner, Oity of Now York. Dear Commiasioner: Many hun- dreds of complaints have been re colved in this office from all over the city from families who cannot procure any coal, although they com- the requirements of the Fuel Administrator and placed their orders as early as last April From time to time we read in the newspapers of the great quantities of coal that have come into this city, and it seems as though there must have been unfair discrimination or that the scheme of distribution was badly regulated. What we are on- titled to know 1s who were the for- tunate ones that got coal and®who are the unfortunates who are not go- ing to get any, and why? As e00n as the Liberty Loan drive 1s over I would like to have you make a survey of the coal situation in this city, making a record of the names and addresses of those who have been fortunate enough to secure practi- | cally all the coal they need for the wintor. It might happen that the Fuel Administrators may not be able To Free Your Skin of Hair or Fuzz (Boudoir Secrets) No toilet table is complete without it hair or fuss can be quickly banished from the skin.

Last winter the police and the May- ors Coal Committee of the Mayor's | Committee of Women on National, Defense saved thousands of families | from suffering during the severe cold | weather by the kindly and generous acts of those who were fortunate to eecure an early supply of coal. The different attitude of the coal trust and their agents prompts me to take preparatory action at this time so that insofar as possible the people can be relieved from the distressing winter weather. A very strange thing that to my mind has some definite connection with the sad condition that must be faced by the people of New York this winter, is the fact that the stock securities of the coal distribution company that practically controls the distribution of coal in this city in the last few months has increased several million dollars in value, according to the Stock Exchange quotations, while af the same time we are asked to be- leve that the local coal industry ts almost @ wreck by reason of the coal | shortage, | I know that from an examination of a balance sheet of this thriving 1 coal trust the biggest item in its assets is listed as “Good Will, &c.” | |‘Good will,” according to coal trust definition, evidently means increased | profits In proportion as there is an increase in suffering and distress of | the inhabitants of the city of New York. We may not be able to change these rotten conditions during our | official ifetime, but we can at least make a try at tt, with the help of an aroused and enlightened public opin- jon. | 1 will appreciate action’ in this mat- ter as soon as the Liberty Loan drive ts ended.

READING RAILWAY COAL TARIFFS ALWAYS TOO HIGH. That the rates on coal charged by the Reading Railway Company have long been excessive has been gen- erally known.

According to the Commission “Re ing this whole se of transactions, they seem merely parts >t a plan to publish in tariff’ form rates which were excessive and yvhich presented a barrier against the suc- cessful shipping by the small shipper, the independent operator, and then, es United States Judge Atkinson Strongly Endorses Nuxated Iron Obtained Taking It Have Been Has Never Had Recourse To A So Satisfactory.
