COAL SHORTAGE

Interstate Commerce Board Pro-
poses Drastic Recommen-
dati0ns to Relieve it

WASHINGTON. Nov 4-Shortage
OF freight cars. the menace OF coal
famine and industrial paralysis is
some parts OF the country has be-
come so serious that the Interstate
Commerce commission has proposed
70 shippers and railroads drastic rec
concentrations for its relief, with an
inumation that should they fail TO
remedy the situation, the commission
itself would find way to do so.
The condition is acute" declared
Commissioner Franklin X. Lane, who
for several weeks has been conduct
ing an inquiry Great institutions or

gan ut Ann Arbor, for instance-are
practically out of fuel and cannot get

edy is not found. people In parts OF
this country will be freezing to death
because OF their inability to get coal.
The car shortage Is said To nave
been found 10 be due In part TO de-
lay In unloading cars, the slow move
ment OF freight cars and failure OF
railroads TO return cars TO the lines
owning them In the latter case IL
Is said railroads hold cars, paying a
nominal charge for their use. This
the commission denounces as moth
ing less than theft rhe inyestiga-
ton OF slow movement OF freights de-
veloped that freight car averaged
about 20 miles n day and that whlle
one was moving Is were standing stili.
The commission makes several sug-
gestions for the Improvement or the
efficiency OF freight equipment, ana
the relief OF the car shortage
That higher per diem rate shall
be made TO apply for the use OF cars
as between the carriers.
THAT an inspection service be az
once instituted which shall report 10

existing which are intended to insure

THAT operating officials be instruct

and cars by increasing the speed OF

OF less than % miles per car per day
is not adequate to the need OF times
such as this. An increased speed OF

Some complaint has come regard ing the giving of half the road in case of an automobile coming up behind a team. The parties claim that when they come up behind fellow with a team he stubbornly refuses to give any of the road. no matter If there is plenty of room to turn out. Now the law recognizes the rights of both the man with the team and the man with auto, and these rights should be re- spected. There are plenty of men who are running autos who should be driving OK teams and vice versa, but all men should not be treated that way. The law says that when a man is overtaken by faster vehicle, the man driving the slower vehicle shall turn out and give half of the beaten path.
