ELECTRICITY Wonderful Organisation to Promote Economic Use Represents New Thoughts. Electrical Science through the sren lous of Its great inventors, Edison, Westinghouse. Thomson, Brush, Bell, Stelnmetz, Marconi and manv other has contributed to the progress and happiness of mankind to a degree difficult to comprehend. Great as this may seem to be. it Is but the beginning of the vastly greater conquests of electricity the Art Universal.

Em erson said, "Hitch your wagon to a Star," and his prophetic vision le being realized in this marvelous force. It has been In part harnessed to human service through the discovery of the governing laws by keen minded inventors, and Its technical nature has attracted and made necessary the supervision of engineers to such a de gree that its benefits to mankind have not been as actively made known as in older and simpler businesses. For this reason commercial men In the electrical business fired with en thusiasm for the extension of its bene fits have formed the Society for Elec trical Development, which held its first Important meeting in. New Tork March 4th and Eth. This Society, with members from all branches of the Industry, gives ex nression for the first time In the hia tory of business to the thought of ac tive organized co operative development by the trade as a whole.

This advanced step In business organization in the electrical Industry means that the great benefits of the improvements and discoveries of in ventors will be quickly and widely made known for the benefit of the DeoDie. It Is not generally known in these days of high living costs that electricity Is the. only commodity ehow lng a constant and steady decrease in mice. Ten cents today buys as much electric light as a dollar did ten years ago. Electrical household devices and appliances also decrease in cost as their efficiency la Increased.

Electric service In the home, office, store and factory Is remarkable for its economy, efficiency and convenience. The people are being taught to know this. The JSoclety for Electrical Development offers a prize of 3200 3100 for a slogan and 3100 for a trade mark designed to give terse and graphical expression of the Society's aims, for use in Its great advertising campaign. This prise Is open to every one engaged in any branch of the electrical business or who uses electricity. and suggestions are to be sent any time until May 6, 1913.

April 17. The 'hard coal trust" situation, it was learned last night. Is being studied by the department of Justice to determine the nature and extent of further possible steps by the federal government in attempts to sever the alleged connections, direct and indirect of coal carrying railroads with coal mining companies. Attorney General McReynolds, who was the government's counsel in the original hard coal suit decided by the. Supreme court in De cember and familiar with the corral ttorm In the anthracite fields.

Is ez pected to take up the situation person' ally as soon as he clears away other Questions pressing upon his attention. It is understood that the department will consider the situation from the view point of both the Sherman antitrust lew and the commodities clause of the Interstate commerce act. The suit against the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company and the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western Coal company flled at Trenton two months, aso was brought under both statutes. Several so called minor combinations were left by the Supreme court In its December decision for further consideration.

It will be unnecessary for the government to conduct any Investigation of anthracite conditions it is said, because the facts are known as a result of Attorney General McReynolds sweeping inquiry in connection wltb the original suit.
