Valry with the coast cities in an ef-

Continuing his testimony, Mr.. McCOr-

Answering a suggestion by Mr. Sims

sion Commands Rail-
roads to Do.

According to n recent ruling of the
Interstate commerce commission, all
Lof the railroads, beginning with their
4 report for July, will be required to
more fully detail their earnings and
actual expenditures month by month.
Notice of this ruling has Just been
received by railroad officials. The
form and the commission will be able
to keep more fully in touch with the
systems throughout the country. I'M
der general headings the expenses
and receipts are now given and this
new move is taken so that the COM
mission may know just what depart
ments are making money and what
branches are losing. Some of the
roads own and operate ferries, it Is
pointed out by the commission; 9TH
ers own and run hotels, and others
have interests in both. It Is the de-
sire of the commission to segregate
the actual railroad earnings from any
such class of earnings. with the idea
that the present stockholders, or pro-
spective shareholders. may know ex-
actly where the roads lose or earn
money. The roads have been re-
quired to greatly increase their traffic
forces during the last year on ac-
count of the numerous changes in the
methods of making reports. 1t has
been necessary in some cases to ere
ate new departments. while a greater
amount of the work falls on the
freight department. Officials of the
roads are preparing themselves to
comply with the commissions new

COAL FAMINE
is Again Reported as Imminent
in the Great North
West.

An immense amount Of coal from
West Virginia and the Eastern Ohio
field tied up at the northern lake
posts, pOrtends the possibility OF a
coal famine in the west this fall.
Conditions are far from being as
bright as they might be. There Is
NOW large amount OF coal loaded
for the vessels at the lake ports. but
IT is not being moved very rapidly.
In fact, 1t Is predicted that some of
the coal loaded will not be taken to
Its destination for some time to come.
However, many of the operators hold
out more hopeful feeling for the
remainder of the summer and fall.
The lake season was about six
weeks late In opening this year, and
immense cargoes of coal have pass
ed from the Clarksburg and Fair
mont regions over the Baltimore 4
Ohio railroad through Benwood
Junction for the lakes, besides the
vast amount Of coal shipped from
Eastern Ohio. II Is expected that
during August and September there
will be further increase In shipmnts.
At that time the docks must begin to
be clearedAif the west Is to have any
fuel at all.
There was more coal left on the
docks over from last year than ever
before, and much of 1t is SILL there
because there Is no demand. A halt
must come WIN the capacity OF the
docks has been reached and that Is
not far in the future. I
There is a general feeling of OPP
timism, however, that the activity in
the coal industry Is largely hampered
by low prices. There is very little
coal from this district on the domes-
tic market, and some of the operators
find that 1t is barely paying prop
osltion to mine coal at this time
when prices are so discouragingly
low.
