WASHINGTON, June 24. In or
dinary times cities do not think much
uhout how citizens are to get their
winter supply of coal. It Is only when
tho community is up against a real
famine that the subject is given any
consideration. Then the charitable
organizations get busy.
llut there are lots of hard-working
self-respecting people who do not
want charity coal doled out to them.
They want to pay for their coal and
thoy are very glad when tho munici
pally makes Homo provision so that
they can buy their com us thoy need
It.
Indiana last winter was a fertile
field for municipal experiments. At
ICvuusvllle a municipal coal yard low
ered and kept down the price of coal.
.Mayor Henjamlu Hosso ran the
yard out of his personal funds, lie
sold coal at H cents a bushel while
oilier dealers wore asking 1(1 cents.
Yot ho municipal yard made a profit.
In Terro Haulo thore was much
dissatisfaction with tho mounting
cost of coal and Mayor James Gossom
established a municipal coal mine.
Tho tcity leased a small mine and
operated this for lift days, selling coal
for $.1.50 a ton.
The mine was not adequate to meet
fhe demands and it became apparent
at the end of two months that other
arrangements would liavo to ibo made
If the project -was to bo carried 'on.
Tho vlty administration found coal
laud in tho city. This was secured
uud tho new mine opened.
'Prlvajo backers withdrew their
support and the scheme collapsed.
llut in the meantime it had served
its purpose of keeping coal prices
down.
Winter before last Dr. Rollin
Hunch, mayor of Muncie, started a
municipal coal pile. The mayor and
a number of business men promoted
tho project and sold about 1U0 cars
of coal at cost. During last winter
1(11 rars were Bold and as many as
Kill teamsters were hired for hauling
purposes. Tho pricos cliurged, plus
freight and 75 cenls for hauling,
ranged from 2.10 to $2.73 per ton. I
Clubs were formed whereby two to
three poor families could obtain coal
by uniting to purchase a cart load.
Care was exercised to supply only the
needy and such families as were most
affected by the severe winter weath
er. . i , i ,i i .i m
Dr. Bunch says the municipal coal
pile is now a regular Institution of
Muncie. They have at present 2000
tons of coal stored.

RUSSIANS APPEAL TO
PRESIDENT FOR AID
LONDON, June 24.. An earnest
plea for Intervention In Hussia, either
economic Or armed, has been sent to
President Wilson by a large group of
Russians here. The plea Is set forth
in a long cablegram delivered to the
American embassy for transmission
to Washington. It Is signed by ap
proximately 1 00 persons, some prom
inent in the Kerensky government. A
similar appeal will be made Iby the
Russian ambassador at Washington.
The appeal says that with the nat
rual weulth of Russlu In Its hands,
Germany can wage war for a long
period doslpto the blockade, and it is
added that to set up a serious bar
rier to further penerutions by the
Germans is possble only by force of
arms.
An alternative to an armed Inter
vention Is recognized, however, In an
economic intervention. To prevent
Russia from fulling Into the hands of
tho Germans, whether willing or un
willing, prompt action by the allies
looking toward rehabiltatlon Is neces
sary, it Is urged.
"If neither military or economic
aid Is given, Russia may -be drawn
before long Into the sphere of Ger
man influence," the plea declares.
"Delay is dangerous. Tho allies must
find In themselves sufficient political
foresight und energy to give effect
to this work."
