Coal Famine Threatens p. M. r. r.


Frank H. Alfred, president OF the
Pere Marquette system, declared, be-
fore the state railroad commission.
that unless some action is taken by
the government, Michigan will suffer
a coal famine the coming winter, and
that the Pere Marquette will not be
able to operate.
This statement came during hear
ing given shippers, who we're claiming
that the road had taken several trains
off regular schedules.
President Alfred told the commits.
sion of efforts MAJ by his road to
have the situation relieved by frequent
trips to Washington and when asked
by Commissioner Glasgow why he
did not unite with the other roads in
a general protest, stated that all the
larger roads are securing coal, but
that the Pere Marquette is being dis
eliminated against.
He stated that the Grand Trunk
and Michigan Central we're storing
large quantities of coal for winter and
that the roads affiliated with coal
mines and interests could secure a
supply, but that the Pere Marquette
was not so fortunate.
I'VE have no contracts for coal for
next year and It is not possible to
make contracts" said Mr.. Alfred. I'VE
DO not know where or how II will be
possible to get coal and at what price.
Coal conHscated and bought on the
outside by the Pere Marquette since
January has cost In excess Of normal
price over 100000"
The Michigan railroad commission
will investigate the reported condition
- regards the Pere Marquette, SO
Tar as their powers will allow, and viii
try to secure some redress for tAs
road and Michigan coal users.

has assured an oversubscription of
81 1000 100000 to the $2,000,0O0,00O Lib
erty Loan. The total subscription may
reach $3,5OO,OOO,OOO.
Had the time for applications been
extended "a hours, 1t is morally certain
that Secretary McAdoo could have sold
$3,5OO,OOO,OOO.
The Liberty Loan has been oversub-
scribed," said Secretary McAdoo. 1T
Is impossible to state the amount of
oversubscription at the moment but
the exact figures will be given out as
rapidly as the returns are received at
the treasury department.
THE success of this loan Is a genu-
Inc triumph for democracy. 1t Is the
unmistakable expression of America
determination to carry this war for the
protection Of American rights and the
establishment of peace and liberty
throughout the world to a swift and
successful conclusion.
II am deeply grateful to the bankers,
the business men, the women of Amer
lea, the patriotic organizations and the
people generally, without whose cor
dial cooperation and enthusiastic sup
port success could not have been won"
Denominations of $50 and 500

that the hopes of treasury officials for
wide popular participation would be
realized. 1t was estimated the number
of subscribers would be nearly three
