The only solution was a different and
more efficient equipment. 1t was not a
labor-saving equipment that was designed.
1t was the ingenious scheme of man to
make electricity help the hundreds of

more labor because there was more work

1t seems almost incredible. but today

back still farther in the operation, it can
be transferred from the mines to the hold
of a ship AS miles away in a little less
than twelve hours. 1t is not necessarily
in small amounts, either. Recently, owing
to the strides in railroad pulling power. a
train of 12D fifty ton ears was hauled
from the West Virginia mines to tide

When one compares the present-daE
methods of handling coal at these great
coal piers with those of the earlier days.
the ma snitude of the present seems the
more remarkable. There are engineering
feats today that would have been laughed
at in those days. One of the larger coal
piers of today has working capacity OF
1S,GO0.GOO tons year; twenty-five years
ago it would have taken eighteen years
to handle the same amount of coal in the
same space and with the same number or
men.
When they first began loading coal on
ships. men passed it by shovels from the
cars to the chutes to be transferred 10
the vessels. There were hundreds ol
men doing that work alone. Then some
enterprising engineer built an elevated
track and devised the car that dumped
its contents out through its floor into the
chutes. 1t worked we'll for time. but
as the demands rapidly increased the
number of men and the number of cars
had to be increased. In many cases there
was not space to increase the piers. ana

them SO quickly as to take the wind
out of their sails. SO to speak.
Consequently. Uncle Sam can smile
in qualification at the results. So can
his sons. Since time is one of the
great factors in modern commercial
ism. it means that ships move faster.
and If ships move faster it means
greater profits to the merchants. In
creased profits to his sons places Uncle
Sam in enviable position in the
worlds trade. and naturally he has
has done everything to favor those
profits.
Just about one-half a century ago
the demand for coal was less than one
Previous to that most OF the marine
boilers in this country were fed by
wood. 1t was not until 1910 that coal
was introduced as a fuel.
Il
1t was called black stone in those
days. II began to be brought to the
seaboard in small quantities early
as 1926 but because it was too large
in size it was not used as fuel until
after many experiments had been made.
This work covered several years. One
of Fulton's New York and Albany steam
boats made the first trip with coal as an
experiment in 1921. James p, -Allaire.

was engaged to make such alterations in
the boilers as were necessary to change
from wood to coal burning and to per-
sonally conduct the trial.
There were objections on the part of the
fremen crew to taking part in handling
the coal during the experiment. probably
because they were afraid OF a mineral
which produced gas and a consequent ex-
ploSion, and ii became necessary for AL
laire to call some OF the employees in
his engine works TO perform such duty.
The trial was but a partial success
The run heretofore made was usually in
twenty hours: the coal-burning trip
it was barely an hour less. 1t could
not have given much encouragement. for
1t was not until twenty years later. after
many other experiments had been made
that marine engineers generally accepted
coal as better fuel than wood.
1t was in the development Of apparatus
for burning coal that DR.. Eliphalet Mott
then president of Union College. tried an
experiment which. had it been successful
would have retarded the great black
streams of mineral that now flows from
Uncle Sans coal lands. In his steamboat
Novelty" he built furnace which was
designed to store heat.
On the crate bars he placed a layer of
wood. then layer of coal. next a layer
OF blocks of stone about twelve inches
square. then another layer OF wood, and
on top of this another layer of stones
similar to the first. When this was COM
pleted the fire was started. In time the
stones became highly heated. but one
element of nature refused to deprive the
other OF its glory-the stones would not
absorb and radiate enough heat to main
tain a steam pressure, so the attempt to
save superfuous heat was abandoned.
The rapid increase of the use of coal in
land Industries has had its effect, but the
advent OF steam for marine propulsion in
moving the worlds commerce has been
the most potent factor in building this
trade UP SO miracuousiy. And because

Gulf of Mexico up the Atlantic coast to
the nearest coaling port where they re-
ceive enough fuel to carry them to their
destinations across the ocean.
But this demand means only that neces-
sary to move marine commerce Count
ing coal used for shipping and the coal
transported to other sections of the world
to be used for various means, it is esti-
mated that there are upward of 10000
OeO tons of the mineral shipped through
these marine coal piers each year. 1t
has been predicted that nature. so far as
Uncle Sans territory is concerned. is
being severely taxed, and that if the
great strain increases as it has within the
past few years. nature will refuse to
meet the demands and in the course of
time fail to produce any coal supply at
all.
Just at present, however. appearances
indicate that she is standing up nobly
to her work. There are lines of cars
coming from the coal fields to tidewater
that never seem to end. In fact, it is

Uncle Sam is in an ideal location to be
an important factor in this trade he has
devoted SO much of his energy in its up
building
What is meant in modern times by
coal port, which one often sees in the
marine news of newspapers in relation to
ships. is not only a place where coal is
transferred from cars to vessels but also
point that is especially equipped for
handling it. 1t means that there must
be deep water clear in to the docks. huge
piers elevated to 50 or 100 feet in height
and SO built as to Withstand tons of
strain. 1t means further that there must
be especially designed tracks. especially
designed pier cars. a big yard to receive
the trains, and a powerful electric plant
to operate and light the whole equipment
The workers know no difference between
night and day on those piers
At present Uncle Sam boasts of three
great coal piers along his coasts. one at
Philadelphia. one at Baltimore apd
another at Norfolk. Sixty years ago the
only one in existence was at Norfolk, but
in those times the ships that needed coal
were less than a quarter of those de-
manding it today. At present there is an
almost endless stream Of them plying in,

can railroadng. This meant that 600
tons of coal could have been placed in the
snip. If necessary, in little more than
fifteen hours.
a tifty-ton steel car is the moder, ye
hicle which is used to carry coal on the
American railroad of today and a!thou yj,
some of the trains are longer most of
them arc whisked across the mountains
to tidewater in from twenty to thirty
car groups. Herein. also. the ordinary
dumping car has become a thing of the
past. So there comes the question: How
can they be unloaded so swiftly? Modern
engineering answers it by saying: We
turn them upside down. 1t seems queS
tionable. but it is fact.
A marine coal yard presents n very
busy scene. There is always something
moving. Just as soon as train arrives
at the tidewa.er yards the cars are
selected and placed in classes ac. oriing
to the grade Of coal they carry. When a
ship arrives and calls for a particular
grade of coal that class of cars gets
busy.
In one section of the grounds is what
is called the gravity yard. to which this
class is moved Car No l then takes
glide down the gravity tracks. and from
that time until its contents are in the
hold of the vessel the car is handled by
electricity.
Down at the foot of the grade an cleo
trc mule awaits it. An electric mule is
a huge piece of iron that looks like
steel car bumper operated by electricity.
AS soon as the car passes over it it
starts in behind and pushes the huge
weight up another incline to the bumper
platform.
Here is where the spectator opens his
eyes in wonder as the halts the
platform 1t isn't there more than a few
seconds before four huge clampinS irons
descend on its top and hold il literally in
d grip of steel and no sooner are those
same arms down than one side of the
platform begins to rise. The car turns
half circle until it is upside down and its
load has been spilled: in other words.
1SJ, 900 pounds have been jussled as easily
as one could carry bucket of coal from
the cellar. Then. Just as quickly. the car
is back again and in less than minute
it is whisked away to the track for the
empties
There is only one result-the coal drops
out in less time than you can think
about it. drops into a car waiting on
track beside it at a lower elevation. They
call this the conveyor car On each tier
there are usually ten OF them ready for
use up-to-date electric motor cars equip
