Many to Begin With Assembling Of

AS January comes in, state legislatures

the prearranged program.

In Colorado, Senator Teller is having a

GOV. ODELL INAUGURATED.
Makes Plea for Harmony Between
Capital and Labor.

ALBANY, N. Y, January 1-Governor B.
B. Odell, jr., was today inaugurated for
his second term as the chief executive Of
this state. The occasion was an unusually
brilliant one, marked by the presence of
many distinguished visitors and the partic-
ipation Of large representation of the Ma
tional Guard, as well as of crowds of peo-
pie from all parts Of the state.
In his address Governor Odell said that
capital and labor should be in thorough ac-
cord, and that there should be no legisla-
ton which seeks to advance the interests
of one at the expense of the other, because
such discrimination would inevitably lead
to results and conditions which would be
a menance to the welfare of the state.

Receipts Of Coal in Washing
ton for December.
INTERESTING FIGURES
LITTLE REASON FOR PRESENT
ExORBITANT PRICES.
B. and o. Shipments 100 Per Cent
Greater Than Year Ago-Penn-
sylvania 70 Per Cent.

The shipments of anthracite and btu
minous coal to Washington over the Penn
sylvania railroad, including Chesapeake
and Ohio shipments, during December,
1892, were 10 per cent higher than during
December, 1901.
The shipments to Washington over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad during De-
cember, 1902, were 100 per cent higher
than during December 1901.
The combined amount Of coal received
in Washington by the railroads during De-
cember was larger than ever known during
any single previous month.
These figures will prove interesting to
the people Of Washington. many of whom
have paid and are paying $12, $14 and even
a higher figure ton for hard coal, and a
minimum price of IS ton for the soft
product
No Excuse for Such High Prices.
The above statements are not idle hear
say. They are approximate compilations of
figures in possession of the terminal Off
cials of the. Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio railroads.
They show from the point Of view of the
railroads. that Washngton has not been
Disseminated against and that a goodly
supply of coal is being received constant
ly. They also suggest that there is no
reasonable excuse for the retail price of
ccal-both hard and soft-beins so high as
maintained by nearfy alt the local coal
merchants.
Receivingour Full Share.
According to the--ranroad officials Wash
ington is receiving IT'S full share of coal that
is mined. If there is no cessation in the
work at the mines, and the present amount
of coal continues to come there need be-
they maintained. no serious apprehension
on the part of the people Of The national
capital other than the extremely poor. This
class must be looked out for.
The output Of coal--soft and hard-de-
pends upon the ability of the railroads to
transport it. The mines are able to produce
all the coal that the railroads. can handle
The railroads are dependent largely on their
own ability to provide cars.
Inadequate Lotive Pswer.
Every railroad in the, country is today
crippled more or less because Of insufficient
motive power. This is due to the enormous
| increase Of freight traffic Of all kinds. The
railroads of the country need more loco
motives and more cars. Many of the rail-
road managements are taxing every effort
to meet the demand by an increase Of mo-
tive power
The supply of cars depends largely-amost
entirely-on the promptness with which they
are unloaded at their places of destination.
Railroad officials charge that cars Of coal
have not been unloaded as promptly In
Washington as in other places.
These delays i'll unloading have attra acted

railroads having TERMINALS in Washing on.

ing at daybreak this morning on the great
plain outside the city. There they waited
patiently for the supreme announcement
of the durbar that hing Edward was en-
peror of India. Soon the great plain was
filled with crowding masses of people, and
the brightly colored clothing of the vast
throng covered the space with gorgeous
hues. The crowd on the plain was COM
posed largely of the common people, but
among it could be seen the retainers of the

function.
The attention of all was fixed upon the
white amphitheater, in the center of the

made. The amphitheater was adorned with

teries, sQuadrons and battalions of the In

elephants, camels and horses SO vast was

Where the Blame Lies.

promptly.
Where the Blame Lies.
And right here comes the question as to
where the blame lies for cars not being un-
loaded promptly. 1t would seem that there
is a conflict of opinion all round.
The retail dealers are constantly COM
planning that they have trouble in getting
lccess to cars that are consigned to them.
che railroad officials, If called on to ex-
plain, are inclined to charge the delay to
the local merchants, declaring that the lat
ter are trying to haul an increased amount
of coal to consumers with the same carriage
equipment that was adequate in normal
times.
The local dealers retaliate by saying that
the facilities afforded by the railroad COM
panies are inadequate for unloading cars as
promptly as they should be.
They point to the fact that the modern
dump cars, those that transport as many as
fifty tons to a load, were intended to be
unloaded from trestles, and that without
tresteS 1t is a necessarily slow and labori-
GUS task.
Means Delay All Round.
Sure it is when car remains on siding
for a longer period than is absolutely neces-
sary for prompt unloading the unloading
Of other that are waiting for place on
the siding is delayed 1t means a delay of
the empty car getting back to the mines.
1t means a delay everywhere in the process
of bringing an adequate supply of coal to
the city.
No matter where the blame lies there
should be a studied effort on the part of
the railroads and dealers alike to reduce the
unloading Of coal cars to the minimum
limit of time.
The exigences of the fuel famine make 1t
incumbent on the part Of the railroads to
see that every possible facility is afforded
for prompt unloading of cars, and 1t Is of
equal Importance that the retail dealers pro-
vide necessary vehicles for the prompt de-
livery of the coal to the consumers.
Should Be Prompt Delivery.
The excuse that available teams are
scarce and hard to hire would not seem to
be borne out by investigation. Washington
is surrounded by farming country
This is the time of year when farmers
have little to do 1t ought to be possible
to get any number of teams. The price that
consumers are compelled to pay for coal
ought to insure the prompt delivery of it
to them.
There will be a shortage of coal in
Washington, as compared with normal
times, throughout the winter, and it be-
hooves every one to be economical as
possible in the use of fuel of all kinds.
