RAILROADS FEEL
EFFECT OF STRIKE
Miner Declares Southwestern Opera
tors Can't Make Any Money
Under Present Conditions.

] MeAlester Okla, April EFFECTS of
kthe coal strike in the southwest are
fspreading 70 the railroads and many
imen are being thrown out Of eEaoloy-
Ament. Seven freight train crews on
gthe Frisco out OF Fort Smith have been
laid off, five engines have been taken
ITO shop and thirty-fye men are idle.
Practically all coal orders received
tby the railroads within the last few
weeks have been delivered and with
fhe mines idle there is no necessity
tfor nearly so many trains. Relative
10 the situation, superintendent Brown
Tof the Frisco at Fort Smith says:
with the closing down of the mines
salong our road business naturally de-
creases. Engines are not required to
"a solid coal trains and extra coal
train crews are not needed in the serv-
ice. The men laid off worked south
Of the city and were engaged In hand
ling coal trains to Hugo and other
htowns on the southern part of the Cen
/ trail division. We have practically de,
livered all our large coal orders and
the remaining cars so be handled will
be pulled in regular freight trains"
Pumps are being taken from mum
Der OF mines in the Oklahoma and Ar
kansas fields, and few operators de-
clare that some of their mines will not
areopen on account of the competition
the operators have had with oil and
gas producers.
There has not been an operator
who has made any money in two years
because of the fierce competition OF
gas and OIL" says Robert McFarlanC
OF the Greenwood Lumber and Mining
company and the Fidelity Mining com
pany of Oklahoma and Arkansas
Fort Smith was at one time a fine
coal market, consuming 5000 tons oi
coal a season. Now the amount con
sumed here hardly figures in the out
put Of the mines The adoption of OF
as a fuel has reduced the amount o
coal furnished railroads to a minimum
There is not a Kansas City Southern
train going north or south that does
Aot use oil, and many of the Frisco
Grains are thus supplied
In the Glenn Pool in Oklahoma
there are $4,000. 600 barrels of oil stor
G.br enough TO meet the demand for Of
rs fuel for a period OF ten years Oi
Is being piped into Louisiana, and w
are cut off there, and preparations arr
being made to pipe gas from Cadd'
fields into Little Rock
Neither gas nor oil pays eithe
freight or wages. Were II not for thu
fierce competition produced by the us,
OF oil and gas. we would be able 20 pa.
this increase, for then the increas,
could be added to the price of coal an,
the consumer would have to foot th
bill. but under present conditions. I
we raise the price of coal, the oil burn
er is put into commission and we ar
left sitting on the raw edge"
