GOVERNMENT MAY
BE COMPELLED TO
POOL U. S. COAL
Fuel Director Sees Little Re-
lief Until Railroad Opera
ton Is Centralized

Washington, Dec. 26.-Fuel ad-
ministrator Garfield told the Senate
investigating committee to-day that
if the war continued very long the
government would be compelled to
pool coal and sell it at reasonable
prices.
Some coal operators, he said, were
making the greatest profits in their
history, but he considered high
prices a stimulus to the local pro-
duction the war demands.
The fuel administration said he
saw little relief in prospect for the
railroads until their operation was
centralized.
War demands for bituminous coal
have been greater than mines could
meet, although the increase of pro-
duction this year has been normal,
Fuel Administrator Garfield testified
to-day at the Senate coal investiga-
ton. In an effort to alleviate con-
ditions, he said, the fuel admins
tration was laying emphasis on slim
ulating production rather than regu-
lating price.
when the operators complain
that prices fixed by the President are
too low, we are inclined to give them
the benefit of the doubt" DR.. Gar
field said.
Private consumers have felt the
shortage because the government
has come first in its demands but
that rule has been changed in the
last few days, DIR. Garfield said.
DR.. Garfield said he did not want
to place blame for lack of transpor-
tation on any one nor did he want
to try to shift blame that might be
attached to his administration. He
added that it was impossible for the
railroads to cope with the situation.
Goal is responsible for one-half
the congested traffic and thousands
of cars are being backed up at
bottle-neck points through which
the railroads have endeavored to
move large amounts" said he. THE
only thing to do is just what we
have done-asked Judge Lovett for
a priority order for coal and to ap-
coal they can to points where most
needed. That has helped in some
respects"
Cincinnati, and Toledo as examples
of "bottle-neck" points.
Questioned by Senator Kenyon,
DR.. Garfield said his organization is
composed of about 200 persons,
chief of whom are engineering ex-
perts, lawyers, coal producers and
John p. White, president of the
United States Mine Worke"s of
America. He proceeded to give at
length details of how complaints
against the prices are handled.
Forty such complaints of operators
had been Investigated, he said, and
each one had required services of
engineers, expert accountants and
lawyers. Dn Garfield said his chief
advisers were volunteers and
worked without salaries or expense
accounts.

RAILROADS CUT
OUT MORE TRAINS
Reading Annuls Part of Phil
adelphia New York Sche-
dule; Further Curtailment
BY associated Press

Philadelphia, Dec. 26.-To re-
lease motive power, conserve fuel
and reduce railroad congestion, the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
day withdrew from it's New York
service eight passenger trains, four
in each direction between here and
New York. Several local trains were
also annulled and it was announced
that a further curtailment in local
service would become effective on
January 6.
A reduction in the number of par
lor cars attached to trains operating
between New York and Washington
equal to eight trains has been put
into effect by the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
The restricted passenger service,
it is estimated by traffic experts,
will enable the two railroads to in
crease their movement of freight by
about 10000 tons daily.
Official Explains
1T was due to the heavy freight
movement and to conserve our man
power and fuel that we decided to
make some curtailments in our pas
senger service" declared Charles Fl.
Ewing, vice-president of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railway. last
night.
The matter of man power is be-
coming a serious factor in the rail-
way situation at the present time.
We thought that it was our duty to
conserve wherever possible.
Besides the four trains in each
direction between here and New
York which will be eliminated to-
morrow and those trains on the Nor
ristown and Frankford branches we
are planning the elimination of sew
eral other trains in our suburban
service. effective January g.
