coal CARS PLENTY.
Four Thousand Empty on Side Tracks
in Kansas City.

New York. Dec. IA special to the
World from Kansas City says:
With coal selling in Tonopah at $50
a ton and the northwest unable to get
fuel at any price because the rail-
roads say there is a shortage of cars,
there are more than 1000 empty cars
standing on sidetracks in Kansas City
alone. Reports from Missouri and
Kansas indicate that cars are plenti-
full throughout both States.
In every freight yard here there
exists "A state of congestion unprece-
dented At Topeka the empty cars
number 200. at Wichita $50, at Spring
field $40, at Sedalla 261, at Hutchinson
so. Small stations in the two States
report that nearly every sidetrack is
holding empty cars.
Not a scarcity OF cars, but a lack of
motive power is at the bottom of the
trouble.
