LOADED AND UNL0ADED CARS
ARE ORDERED HOME

Washington, November 2S-The new
ly-organized conference committee on
car efficiency of the American Rail-
way Association began its campaign
to relieve the coal-car shortage today
by instructing all railways to return
coal cars, loaded or empty, to their
owners Immediately.
Members of the committee said to-
night this action probably would re-
suit in dispatch of enough cars to in
terror coal fields and congested sea-
port sections within two weeks to
have a marked effect on the threat
ened coal famine in the various sec
tons. Similar action may be taken
later in regard to the other classes of
cars, but the most pressing demand
just now is for coal carriers.

The Boston Red Sox and Brooklyn

and National Leagues, will meet this
afternoon in the opening game of the
worlds series as a climax to the
greatest baseball season in the history
OF the game
The finely drawn finish of the races
has aroused unprecedented interst in
the approaching games. Not until the
last weeks of the campaign in each
league did the winners of the pen
nants feel sure they would 60 into
the title clashes.
The Red Sox have had an easier
windup than their rivals, for their
season, ended first and their pennant
was cinched sooner. Consequently the
American leaguers who will bear the
strain of the all important games have
lad better chance to rest from their
grinding drive. Recruits have worked
i'll most Of their recent games, leaving
the regulars to look on and regain
some Of the energy and strength ex-
pended in the neck and neck dash down
the stretch and under the wire.

Several days ago, the national COM

chance at the pennant to have tickets
printed and to make arrangemnts for
their distribution. The local club

their customers might make their ap-

TON, PRICE
WAR ON
Texas Interests Enter Field and
Boost Price $6-Local Concerns
Meet C0mpetitiOn-COst of Gin
ming is Also Increased, it is Re-
ported.

Forty dollars ton for cotton seed is
the result of little war started yes
terday when representatives of large
central Texas ginners and cattle feed
srs, arrived in the city from the Lone
Star state and offered the growers of
the valley the above price for their
seed
AS soon as the news reached the To-
cal concerns conference was held and
tie quotation of $40 met. However,
the ginning price was also raised to
SO bale. According to the local Of
flee of the Imperial Valley Oil &, Cot
ton company, the price paid here for
seed has been $50 and charge of $3.50
for ginning. At the local gin Of the
above company, this price will still pre-
vail unless the grower holds for the
higher quotation of his seed, then the
ginning price will go up. 1t is under
stood that $40 per ton for seed and 50
for ginning will prevail all over the
valley.
The price of cotton has enjoyed a
steady raise for the past two years.
At the first of last season $12.50 was
offered but competition soon brought
this price up to SIS and before the
end of e season was in sihgt $40 was
offered. Early in this year it was be-
leved that the growers would receive
q still better price than at the close
OF the 1915-16 season and this belief
was realized when $25, then $50 and,
in some localities $34 was offerd.
