People Can't Get Coal.

The interstate commerce commission
has sent an urgent request to manag-
ers of railroads in the northwest to get
coal TO suffering patrons along their
lines. People are in cold storage in the
Dakotas and in northern Wisconsin be-
cause they are out of coal and the
railroads do not deliver any more In
some cities light plants have had to
shut down because a supply of coal
could not be had. This latter might
not be considered an unmiXed catas-
trophe by the administration in Rock
Island. but the people in cities in
the northwest feel differently about the
matter, for they have the price
Among the railroads that have re-
ceived this urgent request from the
interstate commission several are not
ed that are under the control of James
]. Hill, the worlds greatest railroad
genius We are panied to learn that
Mr.. Hill should be caught in such COM
pany as this, he at least was thought
to be one man who could do better
than that.
The answer is that the railroads
have not the cars to handle the coal.
1t is an entirely insufficient answer.
They should have the cars Either
get cars and tracks to do the business,
or turn it over to some one who can
and will Mr.. Hill knows better
You can depend on it there is an
other chapter in this matter and that
it Will develop in a mighty short time
AT what price does this coal sell after
it gets to a town where ii is badly
needed? 1t may be worth while to
consider that when Jim Hill Seemingly
goes mad we are justified in suspect
ing there is method in his work.
