INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

TRACY SAYS U. S. WILL AID CITIES fAfter attending a government research conference at Cleveland, R. R. Tracy, director of the bureau of municipal research of the Indianapolis Chamber of [Commerce, has returned to his desk here. At the conference a plan was formed whereby the large cities of the country can call upon trained consultants on civic matters and use those experts in working out various city problems.

One of the striking responses came from Mrs. C. R. Oliver, a resident of the state soldiers’ home at Lafayette, who inclosed $3 with the following: “In answer to that appeal from Armenia, 1 inclose my mite. I pray as it speeds on its mission of mercy that, like the oil In the widow’s cruet, it will multiply from the love of others for suffering humanity until it reaches many thousands.”

When we were after the A. A. C. of W. convention at New Orleans last October we heard more about the way Indianapolis handled the Shriners than anything else about the city. “We are going to make every effort to handle the advertising convention in the same efficient way. This convention, of course, will be different from the Shriners’. It is a strictly business affair. Manufacturers, merchants, sales managers and advertising men come from over the entire world to spend three days in serious business discussion. We intend to see that they are treated with the utmost courtesy while in Indianapolis.” WILL CALL ON 500 MEN TO HELP.

KEEP COAL COST DOWN, PLEA OF UTILITIES MEN Price Raise Means Higher Rates Must Be Asked, Says Letter to President. PROBE BODY TOO SMALL If the price of coal increases, public utility companies of Indiana must have greater revenue, they say. This is the basis of a campaign launched today by representatives of traction, electric light and power, gas, telephone and water services of Indiana to keep down the p/lce of coal and protect their own financial position. The first st.p in the joint campaign of utility representatives was the addressing of a letter to President Wilson, in which dissatisfaction Is expressed with the constitution of the eoai commission. The letter and an accompanying statement emphasize these things. 1. Operators will Increase the price of coal 25 cents a ton because of the 14 per cent Increase; utility companies must have higher rates to cover this or give poorer service. 2. If the president’s coal commission allows an Increased price for coal, the public must pay higher utility rates again or suffer deteriorated service. 3. The financial condition of utility companies generally is precarious. 4. With one miner, one operator and one representative of the public on the coal commission, utility representatives feel that the public has not sufficient -epresentntlon. LIVING COSTS MI ST BE CCT. “Believing that the time has come when ' every effort must be made to reduce the I already excessive cost of living, we most earnestly petition that your coal commission be requested to give diligent consideration to every possible method of adjustment that will prevent the price of coal from mounting,” says the letter. The coal price Increase made as a re- ! suit of the 14 per cent wage increase to miners will add $1,750,000 annually to the i coal bill of Indiana utilities, President Wilson Is told. Few companies can carry | the Increase unless it is passed to the 1 public in some way, it Is claimed. ''lf other advanced costs should result from the action of your commission and such advances might even be retroactive under the so-called Palmer settlement, this new burden, also, it would be necessary for the public to assume,” the letter continues. ''You must be Informed of the current reports that the so-called Palmer settlement included private assurance to the miners anil of the statement iltht although the operators have not rejected the Palmer settlement, neither have they • accepted U. POINT Ol'T POPI LAK APPREHKXSION. "We mention these things only to point out that, true or untrue, they' have given basis to popular apprehension that the price of coal probably will be still further increased. Our iitilitles companies appreciated the delicacy of your position and the difficulty of the task confronting the coal commission, but we make these representatives as being vital to our existence and important to the public welfare.’’ The utility representatives tell President Wilson the public would have more confidence in the commission were it larger. The letter, copies of which were sent to Senntor Frelinghuysen of New .Jersey, Senators Watson and New. the Indiana public service commission and Gov. Goodrich, was prepared at a conference of utility representatives in Indianapolis. Arthur W. Brady, president of the Union Traction Company of Indiana, presided at the conference. The letter sent out by Mr. Brady was signed by him In behalf of the traction services ; by Charles C. Perry, president of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company, for the elee-
