Carrying out the Taft plan for an

SUFFERING IN THE WEST.
The Supply of Coal Runs Short as
the Cold Increases.

The cold weather has caused fac
tories in many cities in the West to
shut down for want of coal and hun
dreds of persons have been forced into
idleness while there are orders on
hand to keep them at work if coal
could be had. Hardly any of the fac
tories in Indianapolis are running full
time, and even those are outstanding
it, as there is no certainty when an
other supply can be got
The railroads cannot haul the coal,
though there is plenty at the mines.
President Kolsom, of the Indiana OPP
orators Association, says that aside
from the heavy general business of
the road in the last six weeks there
has been considerable cold weather,
which diminishes the motive power
one-half that two engines are reQuir-
ed to haul what is a load for one in
ordinary weather, and besides the two
engines burn more coal than they or
dinarily do. The result of this is that
roads are furnishing empty cars to the
mines on the stipulation that the coal
is to be for the railroad company's
own use
In number of cities prices of coal
have increased greatly IN two weeks
and there is suffering among the poor
which charity organizations cannot re
HeVe because the coal cannot be got
Some railroad companies have been
compelled to cOnfiscate coal on the
side tracks in order to move trains.
The situation is reported to be even
worse in Iowa and the State Board of
Railway Commissioners has appealed
to the railroads to abandon passenger
trains so far as possible and devote
their facilities to hauling coal. Fac
tories in many cities in the State have
closed for lack Of fuel and hundreds
of men are out of employment. Pres
ent conditions are without a parallel in
the history of Iowa.
