TO AVERT COAL FAMINE.
strenuous Measures Taken by Govern
ment and Railroads to Do So.

Washington June 20. = Strenuous
measures have been adopted both by
the government and by the railroads to
avert a fuel famine in the west and
northwest which is thought to be i'm
pending next winter. Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific, re-
Gently wrote to Commissioner Lane of
the interstate commerce commission
suggesting the probability of a fuel
famine IN the west and northwest next
winter that might exceed IN it's serious
possibilities the famine of last winter.
He advised that every effort be made
by the commission to induce consumers,
including the government to lay in
supplies of coal during the summer
months, pending the movement Of the
crops in the carly autumn. Commits
sioner Lane Immediately took up the
matter with Secretaries Garfield and
Taft urging that coal supplies at all
depots of the government be put in at
an early date as possible. The subject
was consid cred at the last cabinet meet
ing held before President Roc sevelt eft
Washington and it was decided the
suggestion should be adopted.
Secretary Garfield wrote to Commits
which the commissioner had written
him on the subject, his letter containing
this para graph:
Il beg to acknowledge your letter of
June Z, with tie enclosure from the
president of the Northern Pacific. His
suggestion regarding fuel is an adj
mirabIe one, ard viii! be acted upon by
the departments.
Commissioner Lane has received from
B T StaurtO chairman of the rail-
read commission of Montana, a circu-
lar which the commission had issued re-
specting an investigation into the sub
ject of the coal supply now in sight
and to be available for the use of citi-
zens of Montana during the winter
months of 1907 and 1908. The inquiry
shows that a coal shortage exceeding
that of the past winter is not only pos
sible but probable unless steps ere ia
ken TO avert it, and the commission adj
vises the people to put in their sup
plies of Ial at the earliest possible
date.
Commissioner Lane has been advised
that the city OF Los Angeles, Cal, has
made arrangements to put in a full
supply of coal during the early summer
months, and he has learned that the
railroads of the west and northwest are
placing at their various supply depots
all the coal they can store convenient

STEAMSHIP TRUST NOW.
Commerce Commission Dips Into In
ternatiOnal Rate Question.

Washington, June 2O.-The inter
state commerce commission today de-
cided to institute a proceeding of in
Quiry and investigation into the affairs
of the Hamburg-American Packet
company. which is charged by Peter
Wright & Sons. general agents at
Philadelphia of the Cosmopolitan
Shipping company and the COSmopot-
tan lines, with pooling and maintaining
monopolies in restraint of trade. The
inquiry is expected to be one of the
most StupendouS ever undertaken and
of a character different from any that
ever before has engaged the attention
of the commission.
The inquiry will have to deal with
an alleged combination between rail-
roads in the United States and the
German shipping concern and there
fore interests every American pro-
Queer. manufacturer or shipper aspir-
ing to introduce his goods to foreign
consumers.
According to the complaint on
which action was taken by the COM
mission, the Hamburg American
Packet company has built up a com
plete monopoly of the eastbound traf-
fic originating in Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, Du-
luth, Cleveland and other manufactur-
ing centers of the United States intend
ed for interior ports or places on the
continent of Europe. The complaint
reviews what 1t claims to be unfair
methods in sitting competition.
The Cosmopolitan Shipping COM
pany of Philadelphia. which figures as
the complainant. operates lines to Rot
terdarn, Leith and Copenhagen The
charges allege that an ironclad trust in
transatlantic freight carrying exists
between the Ham burg-Amerfcan
Packet company. the North German
Lloyd Scandinavian-Ameri line
and the Wilson (Hul) line, and that
the pool apportions the volume of traf-
fic each of its members shall carry.
and from what port or ports each line
shall make its sailings, thus involving
the apportionment of traffic original
ing in western cities-both as to char
acter and amount-between the cities
of the north Atlantic seaboard.
In charging the American HAN burg
Packet company in its almost abso-
lutte control of eastbound and west
bound traffic between interior points
of the United States and Hamburg Is
a monopoly in restraint of trade. the
complaining company raises an inter-
national question. The allegation is
made that a foreign corporation back
ed by the German government dictates
terms routes and rates to shippers all
over the United States who forward
goods to Baltic ports, diverts to and
from American ports at its own viii,
without regard to the natural flow OF
trade and uses coercive and unlawful
methods tc crush competition.
