st. Paul, Dec. 11-Strike OF the
switchmen was enlivened today BY ru-
mors Of = Minneapolis coal famine
and = report here that a score OF the
Brotherhood OF Trainmen who had
been among the striking switchmen.
would return to work Monday.
A coal famine In Minneapolis Is not
. matter to be feared, according to
railroad oficials and oficials OF some
OF the largest coal companies.
Managers of railroads quote fig
ures to show how many cars of coal
are being delivered.
1T Is probably true that the rail-
roads are bringing coal into the
yards" was remarked by the coal
company managers, but the trouble
Is to find them and have them switch
ed into our yards"
General Sales Agent Smith Of the
Northwestern Fuel company. which
has the largest number OF yards in
the Twin Cities, said there is posi-
lively no danger of q coal famine
either In st. Paul or Minneapolis,
and added:
Conditions are nearly normal with
US, and there Is not the least danger
Of anybody suffering from lack Of
coal In either city. There Is some
difficulty in switching cars into the
coal yards, but they are coming ev-
cry day"
Agents OF the state railroad COM
mission, who investigated the freight
situation in the Twin City yards, re-
ported today:
The companies are making every
effort to keep less than carload mer-
chandise shipments moving with fair
" good results, but the amount OF
carload freight handled is very much
curtailed. Receivers are experiencing
F.. dificulty in having carload freight
properly placed for unloading. but
conditions are improving gradually
in that respect"
