URGENT APPEAL FROM
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
fore the Cabinet of
dent Wilson.
Presi-
terday.
- Report at Luncheon Tomor
row Will Settle Question.
. What Will The Citizens
of Concord Do-About It?
Mr. C. 8. Smart, who Is chairman of
the campaign committee of the local
Young Men's Christian Association,
has returned to this city, and taken up
the work of putting the $10,000 Home
Hervlce Campaign across ni Concord.
. While yesterday's report ' showed
that we are still much short of the
goal set there Is every Indication of
, genuine determination npou the part
of the workers to put the campaign
across liefore stopping.
The following telegram received by
Mr. G. C. Huntington, State Secre
tary, gives evidence of the high es-
teem in which the Yonug Men's Chris
tian Association is held by Hon. Jo
sephus Daniels. Secrelury of tlie Navy:
"I do not know of any orgaulxa
tion that Is working for the Itfneflt or
. uplift of the phyalcul and mora wel
fare of young men Unit Is dolrtg as im
portant a work as the Y. M. C. A. I
have seen this work In civil life, in
the navy and with the forces in the
occupied portion of Germany. I found
it everywhere across the sens reach
ing young men and helping them. The
service if rendered the men in nrms
is of everlasting mine. It will render
like service to men in peace."
?'he splendid Interest and self-sncrt-ug
co-operation that the ladles of
the cljy nre giving in the campaign
together with the enthusiasm of the
voting people of this city gives abund
ant evidence of the foot that the
Young Men's Christian Association has
already demonstrated its value in the
community In spite of limited equip
ment and other handicaps In which Its
... km hM carried Jia. ui to the
present time.. With. the addition or
the new swimming pool, the lifting of
the debt and the possibilities of more
effective leadership there is every rea
son to lielieve that the future of the
association will lie marked by con
tinued growth and (hat- it will prove
a very positive factor in co-operating
with the churches and the schools in
the development of Chrjstlan manhood
ami womanhood in this city.
Appeal From Esecutive Committee
. There Is plenty of evidence that
notwithstanding many handicap the
,-Yonng Men's Christian AsstsMatlon of
our cltv lias demonstrated, its value as
an auxiliary to the churches and
schools in the development of the physical-and
moral welfare of our young
peopled These young people show it
In their hearty appreciation of Its
privileges. The offleers and teachers,,
of the schools spek highly of .its in- j
flnence, and the ladies of the city are
giving enthusiastic co-operation. !
The $8712.00 subscribed during
this campaign give further evidence of
approval, but a crisis has been reach
es These siilsdrlptions are condi
tional upon raising sixteen thousand
dollars, this amount being necessary
to build the swimming pool, pay the.
remaining debt on the line property
and meet the obligations of the Coming
year, , , , ,.
. If this amount cannot be raised it
will be necessary to close up the build
ing, sacrifice the property, and rob the
young people of the city of the bene
fits of the association for years to
come surely Concord will not allow
this to happen. , -.'.''
; The campaign will be continued un
til tomorrow noon, and In the mean
time every man should seriously con
alder Ma obligation and make as ge
' erous a subscription as possible or in
crease the one already made.
The luncheon report tomorrow will
nettle the question. We are confident
that our citutens are too loyal to Con
cord and too thoroughly Interested In
our people to allow this effort to fall.

Washington. Oct.. .10. Revival of
the fuel administrator to deal with
conditions growing out of the coal
strike is not necessary Ir. H. A. Uar
lichl ailvlscd tlie President's cabinet
today, holding tliat the wartime pow
ers of that body now are vested In
the railroad administration, which
will have full authority to distribute
coal to essentials.
Members of tlie cabinet slild if Dr.
Garfield suggestions were adopted it
would obviate the necessity of ask
ing Congress for money to reorgunlne
the fuel administration, and that the
railroad administrator could allocate
coal In accordonce witli the preferen
tial list in effect during the coal
shortage two years ago.
While the revival of the fuel admin
istration had been urged by govern
ment officials to prevent hoarding and
proflteriug, the department of Justice
announce! it had power to handle
situation under food control act.
Executive order restoring maximum
prices for coal will lie Issrfed by Presi
dent Wilson, pmhohly todny. Officials
would not say what maximum had been
determined upon.
Secretary Lane announced when the
("nbinet met that the government
would not lies! lute to curtail the con
sumption of coal in Industries 50 per
cent, in order that the coal on hand
and that available from unaffected
union mines might be equally dlstrlb
uted to essential industries.
The curtailment list used by the
War Industries Board during the war
tries to lie supplied. -Mr. Lane said,
Hud plants engaged In the manufac
ture of munitions might lie cut off al
together. The current supply of coal from the
non-union mines is sufficient to meet
the demiinds of domestic needs and
supply -the railroads and public utili
ties, Mr. Laue said. New England has
stored away a two months' supply.
lr. Garfield was at the white house
liefore the cabinet met- In special ses
sion to put final approval on plans to
protect the public when the strike
goes Into effect. Director General
HI lies also was summoned to give a
detailed report of conditions confront
ing the railroad administration. Mem
liers of the cabinet were particularly
anxious to know how long the railroad
stock of fuel would lust and how rap
idly coal was being moved from the
mines.
