"PENNSY" ORDERS
SHIPPING CHANGES
TO REDUCE COSTS

A complete change in the methods
of receiving. loading. and forwarding
less than carload freight shipments
on all lines of the Pennsylvania rail-
road east Of Pittsburgh is about 20
be inaugurated in order that this
company may meet the demands made
upon it by the shippers and to assist
in lowering the expense Of shipping.
Some days ago the Council Of Ma
tioual Defense sent out suggestions
to the various railroad lines as to
means Of cutting down expenses.
Careful attention was paid the
method of freight shipments, and the
Pennsylvania's action Is in conform
ity with the suggestions.
II has been the custom Of all rail-
roads to receive less than carload
freight shipments at all stations at
any time OF the day, for all destina-
tions. Hereafter the Pennsylvania
will concentrate less than carload lots
into full loads at the point OF ship
ment, and by this method will save
an immense amount Of cars to be used
in other clAssifications in car lols.
shipping Days Limited.
Among the most important features
Of the new plan are the inauguration
Of shipping days on which cars will
depart from various points to specifed
destinations, the acceptance OF freight
on the proper shipping days only, and
the designation OF particular stations
at which freight will be exclusively
received for specified destinations.
The main features which these new
rules will develop are the conserva-
tion Of car supply, the reduction OF
train movements, the elimination OF
delay to less than carload shipments,
and the general Improvement OF
freight service.
It is estimated that 1000 cars per
day will be saved for other purposes
by the adoption Of the above plans.
The Philadelphia district will be
the first to receive the new order, and
later 1t will be applied to New York,
Baltimore, Pittsburgh. and Buffalo.

COAL PRICE ROW
MAY FIND UMPIRE
IN THE PRESIDENT

President Wilson may be called
upon to sct a. umpire to settle the
serious disagresmsnt among members
OF his Cabinet over the question Of

partments conducting the war, repu.
dating the agreement fixing a price
Of 50 q ton for bituminous, coal

Lane and the coal committee OF the

As the issue stands at present two
of the six Cabinet officers, comprising
the Council Of National Defense, Sec
retaries Baker and Daniels. op-
pose the coal price agreement. One
member, Secretary Lane indorses II
and helped frame II. The attitude Of
Secretaries Houston, Redfield, and
Wilson IL not known definitely. but
Secretary Wilson is understood to
stand with Secretary Lane in favoring
the price-fixing agreement, as It
guarantees satisfactory wages for
mine labor.
The statements by Secretaries
Baker and Daniels were made after
Secretary Lane had formally in
dorssd the price-fixing agreement As
. patriotic act on the part OF the
operators, for which they had earned
the nations gratitude.
The price OF So suggested. on
agreed on, as a maximum, is an exor-
bitant. unjust, and oppressive price,"
Secretary Baker asserted.
Baker Challenges Power.
"Ths navy will not pay SO a ton for
coal at the mine or anything like It,"
Secretary Daniels said. THE navy
will not be bound by any agreement
which forces II to pay more than the
cost Of production, with fair pront
added. and this cost must be officially
determined"
Secretary Baker went further, and
questioned the right Of the coal COM
mittee of the Council Of National De-
Tense to be a party to any such agree
ment Mr.. Baker went on record in
a letter to w. S. Clifford, director Of
the council.

The incident led to strongly repres-
sive measures today to put down
crime. All court procedure was prac-
tlcally made to conform to martial
law. Under the Law plan a Jury may
consist OF three soldiers, and even
the prosecutor may be a member OF
the army. although preference is
made for q civilian.
German Prisoners Demand Raise.
1t was thought likely today that
the government would be forced to
intervene in the controversy between
the Subjenskie coal operators and
their men over wages The en-
ployers are determinedly resisting
the demands OF the miners-of whom
75 per cent are German prisoners
for a wage Of eight roubIes-about

The German prisoner workmen agree
to give a NTH Of their new wages to
Russian prisoners in Germany and
three-tenths to the orphans of Rus
sian soldiers.
The operators insist the Germans
have all saved up several hundred
roubIes each, and are the best dressed
workmen in the mines.
Join Legion of Death.
Forty-four Russian soldiers, en-
ployes OF the American ambulance
corps at the front, today voted to en-
ter the Legion OF Death-an organiza-
