It h Probable that Mayor Moore will pass the report on to ( oiiu cil next Thursday. It is likely to be come one of the biggest Issues of the dtr Administration. Tie gos commission, headed by Milo H Mnltbic, was nnmed to devise n olin for -the operation of the city owned gas works, which were leased to the United Gas Improvement Co. for a thirty-year period ending December 31, 1027. Swamped With Complaints At public henrings, the commission wis almost swiimpod with complaints retarding tho quality of the British thermal unit gas now being supplied. The British thermal unit gns wan sub stituted last year for the twenty-two-candlcpower gas heretofore supplied. ,!Hba temporary change in standards wis authorised by Council, which re cently renowed permission for the use ot the British thermal unit gas. ?A membor of the commission was liked today if. the forthcoming reiwrt "would favor the people or tne com piny." "Thnt Is a peculiar way to nsk the Question." In replied. "It will be n just report." The United Oas Improvement Co. has represented to tho city thnt the company is deriving no profit from gas because of tic high costs of manufacture. Un der the terms of tho lease the city re ceives twenty-ftvo cento for every 1000 cubic feet of gas sold here. I'lnanco Job for Council Snould tho commission urgo diminu tion of these payments Council would haie to weigh the effects of such nction oa the municipal finances. With several million dollars cut off from the city's Income, in tho event !h gas payments were stopped, that amount would have to bo rniscd by other means.

Murdock in New York NATIONAL COUNCIL MEETS The National Council of the Ameri can Legion will meet todoji in New York to take action on the question of tho publication of the "slncker lists." A strong protest ngalnst the publica tion of tho lists, which nlroady have been shown to bo honeycombed with errors in the sections published in New York, Delaware nnn Illinois, will be presented bv tho Council by Maior W. O. Murdock. State ndjatnnt of tho Le gion in Pennsylvania, who during the war was chief draft cxecutivo for Penn sylvania. It was Major Murdock's outspoken objection to tho tlsta ns thpy stand to day, as first presented by Colonel Ocorgo Nox McCain in tho EvnsiNO Pum.io LEPnEn last week, that brought tho plan for official action by tho Legion. Colonel Frederick W. Onlbraltli, Jr., national commander of the Ltgion, in vited Major Murdock to nttend the meeting nnd present his views on the slncker lists. . "I hotd no brief for slackers, snld "Major Murdock todn "and I am perfectly sntistied that nny one who evnded service should have his name published. Hut it is certainly not right, fair nor just that men wtio volunteered, fought, bled nnd In some cases died should hnvc their names published ns drnft evaders or deserters. "The real slackers in tho present ln stnnco nro the Government officlnls who nro trying to make n desk job out of tho compilation of tho slacker lists. They should get out In tho field and Investi gate tho cases, nnd then tho lists would hn nhnnf nn near authentic ns possible. Tho present method is wrong nnd is nn outrnge nnd dlsgrnco to the meu who served In the war." Major Murdock explained thnt many names or men who rcauy saw service nnil which nimonrcd on tho lists nub' Hshed in New York, Delaware und Illinois were those of men ho oliin- tccred early in tho war nnd were either not accepted or had joined tlie t anadlnn or other Uritish forces or enlisted in cities other than their homo towns. Many of those men, he said, were the real heroes of the war and several gave their lics for the cause. Investigation would hnve cleared up their records so far as the lists are con cerned, the Mnjor said, nnd would hnve given the Uovcrnment ouicinis nn op portunity to escape tho multitude of mistakes that followed the compilation of tho lists thnt were sent to newspapers. It would, too, ho bald, have .shown up tho real slurkcrs who used every method they knew to escape sen lee for their country. U. S.
