A DANGEROUS uEclsioN.

tFrom Engineering Record Of Oct. =. }
A decision that should be vigoro-
usly combated was handed down
Sept. % by the Frederick (Md.)
County Court. Under a law passe I
by the last Legislature, making it a
misdemeanor for traction engines
with exposed cleais To use the State
highways, the State Roads Commits
sion sought an injunction again 1
infraction by machines in that coun-
~, Engines owners objected on
the score of added expense and also
claimed that it was not possible to
operate tractors on steeD grades with
sheathed cleats. Officials of the
State Commission then offered to fit
any traction engine with guard
blocks and drive il over every State
road in the country, drawing a
threshing machine. This offer was
refused, and the prayer for iniunc-
ton was dismissed by the court.
The astonishing reason given for
the decision was that the highways
should have been designed to with
stand the assaults of the tractors,
which were prior users of the roaca.
\ parallel existed, it was said, X.
the adoption Of bituminous treat
ment because of the demand of auto
mobile traffic.
This false logic appears i,lusible
enough, so that what is at present
an unjust decision may become a
dangerous precedent. Motor traffic
in Maryland, as in other States, is
subject to~laws regarding weight
and speed and the payment of license
fees. These are equitable require
ments. What the Frederick County
Coart has done is to set aside a
tractor-regulation law as logical as
those restricting general motor traf-
fic. Bituminous surfaces in Mary
land seem to be meeting Legitimate
strains efficiently. To expect them
TO carry heavy engines with unpro-
tected wheels is an absurdity which
should be evident TO every Intelli-
gent Marylander. The Road Com
mission should appeal from this de-
cision and should be upheld by all
interested in the upLuilding of the
States highway system.

fields. called Sept. Is and put into
effect Sept. 23. the production fer tho
remainder Of the year was from 50 to
so per cent Of the normal and the ul-
innate effect upon the industry Of tho
state was q reduction in the annual
total Of approximately 100000 tonAr
compared with 1912, when 10,977,S2A
short tons were mined.
In New Mexico the production was
slightly in excess of the 3,536.s24 tons
produced in 1912, and It would have
been considerably greater but for the
disastrous explosion in October which
wrecked one Of the Stag Canon Fuel
Company's mines at Dawson and re-
suited in the loss Of 263 lives and in
decreased output.
The reports from Wyoming indicate
satisfactory and harmonious labor con-
ditions and slightly increased demands
for coal for railroad. manufacturing.
and domestic use. The trade was
alfc stimulated by the labor troubles
In Colorado. Car supply was better
than in 1912, owing to some extent to
drought in Nebraska and Kansas,
which created less demand for cars
for crop moving and put them at the
service Of the Wyoming coal mines.
Only for short period in October was
there any car shortage.
