WOOD FROM CITY
PARK TO co AS
FUELFOR POOR

To distribute 80 cords Of wood to the
poor this winter from the willow trees
now being felled In East Potomac Park
Is the plan on which the Citizens Re-
lief Association began work today.

ISOLATION, was given entire charge Of
this work at the annual meeting Of the
board OF managers last night at va H

and charity worker, while riding In
East Potomac Park, saw the great
waste that would result II the chopped
and fallen trees were burned
Mrs. Warren communicated her
ideas to The Times. and publication

the face of great difficulties in get
ting trucks to haul this wood to
distributing point, the Associated
Charities has finally been able to sal
wage the greater part OF It.
This activity of the association 10
rendered more timely by the acute
coal situation. Experiments will be
made by Mr.. Ufford to determine how

GARFIELD APPROVES
new COAL EXCHANGE

Federal Fuel Administrator Gar
deld has approved the newly formed
Tidewater Coal Exchange and issued
orders to all trade shippers Of coal
At New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Hampton Roads, and tributary tide
water points to make all shipments
through the exchange. DR.. GARFIELD
estimates that the handling Of all coal
through the Tidewater Exchange pool
ing system will increase coal produc-
tion by 10000, 900 tons annually. He
bases this estimate on the decreased
detention of cars. The coal output
depends in a very large measure on
the supply OF cars at the mines.

COAL SITUATIONS
DUE TO SHORTAGE
OF CARS, IS CLAIM

Labor is now HdoIng its bit," In
Ehs coal mines and blame can't just
" be placed upon the miners for the
coal shortage felt in all parts OF
ths. country. Full responsibility for
the. coal crisis rests squarely upon
those having charge OF railroad car
distribution. This is the attitude Of
the leading coal operators OF the
country as outlined today to Fuel
Administrator Garfield by w. X.
Field, of Pittsburgh, president OF the
National Coal Association
Only a radical change in present
methods OF distributing car equip
ment, and the elimination OF non
essential industries. that now help to
monopolize the use of cars, can rem
ody the coal situation, in the opin-
lon OF the coal operators,
Operators Support Plan.
Mr.. Field, as spokesman for the
nations chief coal producers, was not
prepared say what industries should
be classed as non-essential, but he
Informed Administrator Garfield
that the operators were q unit in
supporting him in any drastic plan
thaG he may formulate in that direc-
tion. The operators, he said, fully
realised that many plants must be
cutoff in order to conserve coal for
thsisuccessful prosecution of the war.
The. pressing NEED for more cars
st the mines was emphasized by
President Field in his conference with
the fuel administrator. The labor sit
uatEon, he said, does not present DIFF
eiculties that are likely to hamper
eosa production.
"What we want to boost output of
the mines is cars and still more cars"
Mr.. Field said "The operators are
eager to show a maximum output and
Will do their utmost to keep the mines
running at full speed. But right now
ct some OF the largest producing cen
ters mines are idle or working on
half time because cars are not avail
able.
Mines Are Idle.
Several important mines within q
radtuA of forty miles from Pittsburgh
were idle today because OF the coal
car shortage. These mines usually
turn out about 10000 tons a day. Ex-
eept for a few minor differences on
scattered points no further labor dis
turbances OF a serious nature are ex-
pected to interfere with production.
The operators have been willing TO
meet the men more than half way,
and feel that the miners generally ap-
preeiate the treatment given them
We. are hopeful that solution of the
car distribution problem will enable
us to shove the mines far ahead Of
their normal production"
