FEDERAL AUTHORITIES DE-
TERMlNE TO RELIEVE sITuA.
TIoN IF POSSIBLE AND INTER
STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
INVESTIGATING DEMuRRAGE.

Washington, Jan. %. The coal
famine situation in North Dakota has
become so serious that Senator Hans
brough will confer with President
Roosevelt tonight to see if federal
means cannot be found to relieve the
situation. Before taking this course
however, the senator sent telegram
to Governor Burke asking whether the
state authorities will be able to find a
way to clear the blockade and let into
the state the coal supply That the
governor will be able to meet the situa-
tion without assistance is regarded as
unlikely. kilograms appealing for re-
lief were laid before the interstate
commerce commission by Senator
Hansbrough; some of these dispatches
declare that the statement issued by
the Great Northern railroad that the
blockade had been lifted on that line
is not true. 1t is said, also. that a
large supply of coal destined for North
Dakota is being held at junction points
in Minnesota, pending settlement of
demurrage charges on cars. This
charge is being investigated by the in
terstate commerce commission.
