ministration, in cooperation with TIE
department of agriculture, has inaugu-
rated an intensive campaign for the
substitution of wood for coal
Zone cord of hard wood is equal to
a ton of coal, said an announcement
by the fuel administration. lone ton
of coal is released for use in war work
for every cord of wood substituted
Statistics show that there is vast
amount of dead wood in many sections
of the country and that the supply of
wood in many communities is sufficient
for domestic purposes in those parts. :
Much of the wood in communities is
destroyed as waste, il was pointed out,
and its conservation not only would con-
serve coal, but would prove a measure
of economy to the users. New England
and the South, the statement said, have
an abundance of wood and in the latter
section activities already are under way
| looking 10 an intensive campaign for
! the substitution Of wood. In this CON
| nection it was announced that the de.
| partment of agriculture would provide
the services of expert foresters with
out charge to suervise the cutting OF
wood so that no damage would be done
to growing timber and that the largest
use might be obtained of the wood sup

enlarge sufficiently the capacity of the
Eastern railroads. If the word pool
is applicable, what we have partially
pooled are the physical facilities.
1.-The condition we are dealing with
is analogous to that brought about at
times by accidents or by floods, such
as that at DAYTON, Ohio, a few years
ago The flood at Dayton made it I'M
possible for certain railways to handle
all the traffic which normally came to
them. Therefore, they diverted large
amounts of traffic to railways which
were still open. Similarly, at the pres
ent time, certain railways lines have
become so congested that they cannot
handle all Of the business which is
coming to them, and we are adopting
measures to bring about greater utiliz-
alton of other railway lines to relieve
the situation.
There is no similarity between
these measures and the agreements for
the pooling Of traffic and earnings,
which are forbidden by the interstate
commerce act.
