%gOAL operators OF the Pittsburgh district have made
an appeal to Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the spe-
cial railway committee of the Council of National
Defense demanding relief from the car shortage which is
parayng the mining industry and threatening the nation
with coal famine of the most dangerous dimensions
In their letter they point out that contrary to popular
belief the shortage of cars at the mines continues to exist
and they make the flat footed charge that the roads
usng the coal cars to haul other commodities that pay
higher freight revenues They want the committee Of rail-
way presidents to take immediate action to relieve the
situation.
The Pittsburgh protest received considerable notice in
the newspapers but the conditions is based are no
worse than the coal car situation in the Famont district
which, in spite of repeated efforts upon the part of the
Central West Virginia Coal Operators association, through
President C. H. jenkins and Secretary D. r. Lawson, has
been growing steadily worse.
Statements which were furnished to George B. Nc
GE secretary of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
at his request by Secretary Lawson show that for the first
FIVE months of this year total Of 81 1856 ffyton
were received by the mines in this district as against 85592
for the same period of 1916. This shows that 28,205
fewer cars came into this district this year than here
last year But this large total deficit does not show
the seriousness of the situation clearly does COM
parison of the percentages In 1916 $3.50 per cent of
the cars the district was entitled to actually supplied
while this year the cars received were but 460l per cent
Of the number the mines should have had. And that in
the face of the fact that the adjusted rating for this year
is l4,633,less for the period than it was last year.
According to the adjusted rating this district should have
had 5.375 ffy-ton cars during the week Of May 81.
The number Of cars actually furnished was 1889. This
moving Of 1896 cars less than the mines Of the district
re entitled to sufficient explanation, even to man not
acquainted with the details of the coal business. for the
Intermittent character Of the work at the mines hereabOuts
In the FIVE months of this year that have passed there
pne week when the percentage of cars furnished fell as low
IS 81 per cent In OnIyseven of the nineteen weeks has
the percentage gone above 50.
What this is doing to the coal industry the people who
i've right here in the Famont district do not need to be
told What it will do to the nation when cold weather
returns can only be imagined Because of the shortage
