BLAMES ROADS FOR
SHORTAGE IN coal

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 1.-THE
shortage of coal and the consequent
high prices are the result Of mis-
management and incompetence on the
part of the railroads, J. w. Dawson,
president of the Kanawha Coal as
ISOLATION, Charleston, w. Va, declared
in an interview here.
Dawson has just returned from an
investigation of the coal shortage and
the abnormal prices being extorted
for it. He said the present practice
of the railroads in charging the ship
per 81 a day for each day car
stands unloaded on sidetrack. and
for the road owning the car to pay IS
cents day, places a. premium on the
misuse of cars by every railroad in
the country.

Govt IN SHAPE
To MAKE:PAPER
Forestry Official Outlines Plan
To Meet High Cost Of
Paper.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-If the
United States utilized the national
forests, owned by the people of this
country, it would find that there was
enough timber to operate fifty paper
mills which could turn out print
paper and thus bring down the ex-
cessive price now asked for that COM
modify, experts here point out.
Altogether, the extent of these for
ests is 1852, 773,2S0 acres, and from
these forests was sold in 1915 some
thing over 1,000,0OO,000 board feet of
timber.
That at least II different kinds OF
wood can be used to manufa cture
wood pulp'has been shown by demon
STATIONS conducted by the United
States Forest Service. All of these
woods grow in the national forests.
Not only is this immense quantity
of public timber available, but the
national forests contain between g.
497,600 horsepower minimum, and
16,784,500 horsepower maximum, OF
water power-approximat 80 per
United States-all public ownership.
Testifying before the joint commit.
tee on printing of the last session OF
Congress, w. B. Greeley, associate
forester of the United States Forest
Service, told the committee this:
THE commercial feasibility of the
establishment of a pulp plant hinges
partly on the supply of timber and
partly on the water power available
The national forests often combine
these two factors admirably. The
Western country abounds in undevel.
oped water power. To utilize these
streams in conjunction with a pull
plant is perfectly feasible in severa
locations of which examinations al
ready have been made"
Here, then, is the situation:
The United States Federal Trade
Commission finds that the cost o.
! making news print paper was $1.6i
per 100 pounds during the first hal
the 1916. It finds that these same
! manufa cturers charged publisher:
anywhere from SO up to 81, So ant
even higher per 100 pounds for thei
paper.
The people Of the United States, o
course, pay this enormous graft int
| the hands of the men who own tn
| mills and the spruce forests, and
through their ownership of this re
source and this machinery, own il
! turn the workers who are exploited
| in the mills and the consumers, VIII
| must pay the price demanded by thu
| trust for it's product.
j On the other hand, the forest serv
! ice reports that it has enormous re
sources of valuable timber which i
! splendidly adapted to making Woo
! pulp and news print paper, and enor
! nous amounts of undeveloped waite
power available to use in the manu-
| facture.
When the people of the United
States become sufficiently intelligen
to put two and two together ant
| make four they will see what tn
answer is to the above problem.
