Mr TO PREVENT
COAL PRICE RISE
Attorneys Prepare Contest
on Hearing Rumors of
50-Cent Advance
WARNING TO OPERATORS
The fight to prevent coal operators from
boosting their prices Is on. It will be
carried to tho Federal Trade Commission,
the State Legislature and the lnterstato
Commerce Commission. If necessary, accord
ing to announcement by Ward W. Plcrson
and Harold S. Shertz. Philadelphia attor
neys, who recently won their light to force
a reduction In tho coal frelgh't rates to this
city.
Besides announcing that the battle Is on,
and that every effort will bo made to pre
vent tho boosting of the price of coal while
the country Is at war, the attorneys Issued
a snarp. warning to the operators.
ANSWER TO HUMOUS
The statement was Issued on the strength
of rumors to tho effect that tho operators
were planning a nfty-cents n ton Increase
to make up for any ndvnnco In wages
granted the miners. Any such move, Pier
ron and Shertz said, will result In almost Im
mediate investigation by both Federal and
State authorities.
The Federal Trade Couunls-don already
has been appealed to In an effort to have
tho coal situation investigated, the lawyers
said.
"At this time, when the nation Is nr.
paring itself for the greatest co-operative
effort In Its history in the name of democ
racy, no group of Individuals or corpora
tions so lacking In patriotism that they
would take advantage of their control of
a necessity of life for their own profit
should go unchecked.
"Tim Legislature of Pennsylvania, now
In session, may be able to provide reme
dial measuies If Immediate nctlon Is
taken to contest the right of operators to
make any Increases wlthuiit full explana
tion to tho public "
The statement says;
"Our attention has been called to alle
gations from i ('sponsible and autboiita
tlvo souices which stiongly Indicate a
breach of faith on the part of the an
thracite coal operators of Pennsylvania.
It has been charged publicly and pri
vately by some of tho largest retail
dealers of Philadelphia that In many
specific Instances the spring reduction of
fifty cents a ton announced by the Phila
delphia and Heading Coal and Iron Com
pany was made Invalid by tho falluro or
refusal of tills company and other oper
ators to fill orders sulllclent to meet even
normal requirement.
CHAUC-K PLAN TO BOOST
"It Is also declared that retail dealers
have been given plainly to understand
that tho operators, having announced the
reduction on April 1 under pressure of
public opinion, are now planning to utilize

with the wage Increases demanded by
the miners, as a pretext not only to with
draw the reduction, but also still further
to Increase the price or anthracite coat
at the mines.
"If these charges can be substantiated,
we believe It Is our duty and that of all
distributors of anthracite coal to the con
sumer to lay the facts before the Federal
Trade Commission. To this end we hereby
Invite retail dealers to provide us Imme
diately with records of coal shipments
received by them the first of April, to
gether with shipments received In March,
nnd, If possible, the receipts for April of
191C, together with other Information that
might bo of value as tending to cor
roborate the assertions that tho operators
have withheld shipments from this mar
ket, In the meantime diverting their out
put to markets where they could demand
a higher price." x
SHOIVT SUPPLY COMPLAINT
Complaints that the operators have
evaded giving to the retail dealers nny
thing like the normal amount of coal during
this month, while the spring reduction of
fifty cents a ton has been In operation,
have been mado by tho dealers, and on last
Saturday the dealers withdrew their re
duced prices to tho consumers, although
their agreement with tho operators had
eight days to run.
It Is said tho operators were sending
coal preferably to New York and Boston,
where they could demand fancy prices,
From William M. Lloyd & Co.. one of ih
largo retail dealers, It was learned that this
company's coal receipts from the operators
havo virtually ceased altogether.

It lias been definitely established
that the recently announced "prodiutn
process rubber" develops tremendous
tensile strength hitherto unheard of in
tire rubber.
Repeated tests have shown that a
strip of it one-and-a-half inches square
will suspend a dead weight of more
titan tiircc tons.
The effect of the process is to pro
duce a compound for tire fs rails that is
tough and springy, besides possessing
great strength.
It k almost impossible for a strong
man to break a thin strip of this rub
ber. Incorporated in an automobile tire,
it gives a surface that is remarkably
responsive and which docs no' become
brittle.

New Super-Six Speedster Now Here
Latest, fastest Hudson model just arrived. A smart
car with new lines. Seats four. $1750 at Detroit
. The newest Hudson Super-Six model has just arrived.
It is the smartest Speedster you have ever seen. In the grace of its
lines, the dashing beauty of its finish and its wonderful performance
it expresses the "spirit of youth."
Our allotment of these cars is not large. Even before we were told
anything of its details, even without advertising or announcement of
any 'kutd either by the factory or ourselves, customers placed orders
with us to assure early delivery. Our only word from the factory was
that a Speedster model would be ready sometime this spring.
To get an idea of the probable demand for such a car we asked some
of our Super-Six owners about it. The result is shown in the orders
they gave us. We couldn't give them any description of the Speed
ster, not even an idea of what it would look like, nor even assure defi
nite delivery dates. Still the orders continued to increase, and seeing a
repetition of last year's condition when buyers grew disappointed at
not getting delivery of their Super-Six when wanted, we stopped ac
cepting orders.
And why shouldn't there be such a demand for a Hudson Super-Six
Speedster? Everyone knows of the official reco.rd of a stock Super
Six chassis in traveling a measured mile at the rate of 102J2 miles an
hour. And all motorists are familiar with other wonderful perform
ances of the Hudson Super-Six. The Super-Six has proved it has just
the qualities you would require in a Speedster.
There, could be no concern about the beauty or grace" or finish of
the body. The artists responsible for such lines as are revealed in tho
Super-Six Phaeton, the grace of the Hudson Super-Six Limousine, and
the daintiness of the Town Car, could be relied upon-to design thfl
smartest Speedster.
' Such a car is here now for you to see. You must acknowledge its
low sweeping lines, its rich cobalt blue body with Vermillion wheels,
the smartest Speedster you have ever seen.
Don't forget that our allotment is small, that the factory, is nolj
building many cars of its type, and that only a few cars are availabla
to any one dealer. Some will probably not be able, to getanykatall
