Car Situation Grave.

The empty car situation on the Nor
folk and Western is giving the coal
shippers on the Clinch much concern.
For some time past a number of the
operations in the Elkhorn and Tug River
fields have not been running, for one
reason or another, full time, while the
Cinch operations, all on full operating
basis, had nc trouble in getting all the
cars needed.
With the beginning of the month of
October, however, practically ali the
mines on the west side of the Flat Top
will begin working at capacity. and
this will naturally have a tendency to
restrict the supply of empties on the
Clinch.
The outlook for October is very good,
SO far IS orders are concerned. and if
the railroad can only supply the cars
there Is no question bnt that the Nor
folk and Western will see a two million
month within . short time.
