In PROBE OF
CAR SH0RTARE
Showing That State Coal Oper.
atOrs Are Losers in Manipu-
Iation Of Railroad Cars.

HUNTINGTON, Nov. 15.-The inyes-
tigatfon OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission into inability Of the rail-
roads to move the freight OF the coun-
try has taken a much wider scope Of
inquiry than was at first contemplated
The inquiry is being held before Com
missioner Charles G. McCord, at Louis
vile.
The complaint and inquiry We're in
6tttuted by coal shippers and coal
users, butthe inquiry is now of more
general nature and covers the matter
OF freight movement generally, the
practices OF the railroads with refer
.ence to the handling OF car equipment
and the ownership of the same.
The railroads are undertaking to
show that they are sufficiently equip
ped with cars, but that the difficulty
comes from the detention OF their cars
on other lines.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railway
appears to own $4,000 coal cars Their
capacity 10 load is about 2, 500 to g 900
cars a. day This rate of loading would
require that with their present equip
ment the cars would have to be re-
turned to the mines for loading every
ten days. As matter OF fact, cars
destined 10 Michigan and northern
Ohio are not returned for reloading
under about thirty days
Under traffic agreements existing be-
tween railroads empties are presumed
to be headed Immediately homeward.
either as empties or loaded with freight
destined to the vicinity of the line
owning the car. If this rule were
strictly followed. the situation would
be greatly relieved, though not fully
corrected.

away from the mines for weeks and
months. and even indefinitely.
"a Louisville and Nashville witness
made this statements:
4 II we could in some mysterious way
obtain five or six thousand cars and
put them in service today. they would
Ibe out of our possession. OFF OF our
line, in, may conservatively say, two
weeks. II we could in some manner. at
the expiration of that two weeks, find
five thousand more. they would un-
doubtcdly meet the same fate. IN
other words. each car that We would
obtain would enable u.s. to have one
load; it would then get away from us.
Some few would, perhaps. come back
in thirty days. a few more in sixty
days, some In ninety days Many Of
them would not come back until we
have no use for them. = 5t

ton of helplessness II not OF in

many OF them. hold that the matter of
railways IN the manipulation of their
equipment, is not subject in which

agreements and legal obligations to

AGAIN ASSAlLS G0MPERS

Sherman Also Directs Barbs of
Criticism at Postmaster
General Burleson.

Senator Sherman again attacked
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor in the
Senate yesterday. declaring the labor
leader and Postmaster General Burle-
son were the two most prominent fig
ures on the democratic side of the
presidential campaign. Mr.. Gompers,
he said. was to deliver the 100000
labor vote to the democrats, while Mr..
Burleson used the postmasters of the
country "to fry fat" for 1T.
Senator Sherman quoted from Texas
newspaper of 1909 to show that Mr..
Burleson then was part owner of a
ranch where hundreds of convict labor
ers were employed In 1911, he said,
the foreman of the ranch was tried for
causing the death of negro convict
who had been whipped, but was acquit-
ted, and in 1913 was appointed postmas-

Fifty Years of Negotiations.

Negotiations for the purchase of the
islands. a little group east of Porto
Rico. have been In progress intermit-
tently for half a century. Because of
their strategic value. particularly since
the construction of the Panama canal,
the American government has been
anxious to acquire them to pre-
vent the islands from falling into the
hands of any foreign power. German
interference was credited with block
ing negotiations on the subject in 1902,
after the United States Senate had rati-
fed a treaty.
Practically nothing was known about
the recent conferences between Secre-
tary Lansing and Minister Brun, and
there was no announcement of the fact
that the negotiations had been re-
newed until shortly before the pact
was signed. Even the terms of the
purchase were kept secret until one
of the confidential copies of the treaty
sent to the Senate had disappeared and
it's substance published.
In Denmark the treaty has developed
a political crisis that may result in a
new general election of members of
parliament and reorganization of the
cabinet. The folkething, the lower
house. ratified 1t August IA by vote Of
sixty-two to forty-four. but much more
serious opposition developed in the
landsthing After a bitter fight the
upper house adopted a resolution noti-
flying the cabinet that 1t was willing
parliament should be dissolved and a
general election held unless sale Of the
islands could be postponed until after
the European war. The vote on this
resolution was thirty-nine to seven:
Since then there have been indica-
tions that the cabinet had won over
some leaders Of the upper house, and
suggestions that the controversy might
be settled without holding elections
for parliament and by submitting the
question of the sale itself to popular
vote. So far as known here, however.
no such plan has been finally decided
upon.
