j. C. Stubs, traffic director OF

The government attorney sought
to show by Stubs that Hartman

thought to know more about adj

officials OF transportation compan-
les are now back to the old claim
that they have cars but cannot get
coal enough to operate their own

$4,000 tons of coal and will handle
still greater traffic both in coal

can be put into commission.

that 1t has been compelled to can
Gel freight trains for lack of fuel,
but admits that the road is hard
pushed. The Northern Pacific Is
In the same fix, and the o. r. &

of cars that could be used to carry
coal right in this city, as a visit
TO the yards at Yardley, four miles
from town, still show.
Here several hundred empty cars
are standing on the tracks. Most
OF them are stock cars. but the
decks could easily be pulled out
and bins put in so coal could be
hauled. The tracks are lined for
about a mile with cars which have
evidently been standing there all
