FUEL CONTROL

of disruption Of barge transportation
and high rates from Newport News
northward.
Government control has been forced
upon both the allies and Germany in
| varying forms and this nation, the
commission says, can learn a lesson
from their experience.
The commission in it's report point
! ed to the fact that the country is fac.
! ing a nation wide coal famine i'll
recomm ending that the government
take over all coal transportation facil-
| tiles, land and water, and operate
them on government account.
The commission suggested that
coal producers be paid their full cost
of production, plus uniform profit
per ton and that transportation
agencies be pooled and operated un-
der direction of the president, all such
means being operated as unit, the
government to pay a fair compensa-
ton based on normal profits and cost
of upkeep.
Among the serious aspects Of the
situation the commission points to
these important facts:
The enormous stacks of fuel which
should be built up during the sum
mer months, particularly in the
northwest, are not being built up,
with the result that next winter will
see coal famine in that region.
That the barge service which car
ries fuel for New England has been
diverted and no longer is carrying
coal with threatened coal shortage
for New England factories.
That water carriers on the great
lakes which should be carrying coal
west, are returning empty because OF
the failure of rail transportation.
That mine labor is disorganized,
owing to irregularity OF employment,
due to irregular car supply.
That spectators are getting undue
prices for coal and finally, that the
situation Is not being remedied by
the volunteer arrangement undertake
en- by the council Of national defense,
nor is the situation likely to be rem.
edied by any plan adopted voluntarily
by the railways.
The commission points to the ex-
perience of all the nations engaged
in war and recommends the addition
of the remedies they have had TO
adopt.

IN ME MORAN.

In loving memory of F W. femme
Jr., who died one year ago TO-DAY
June 10, 1916.
Re bade no one a last farewell
He said goodbye to none;
His loving heart had ceased to heat
Before we knew he was gone.
The earth seems quite another place
Without the cheer of brothers face;
He suffered much with pains untold
Till God above, with tender love
Did take his pains away.
Sleep on, dear brother, and take
your rest,
God called you home when n
thought best
Our loss means pain, but ycu",
meant gain,
In heaven we hope to meet again.

Chairman Lever of the agriculture
committee expected to be able to get
the bill opened for actual considera-
ton late today or at the beginning of
tomorrow session. The house is ex-
pected to pass the bill by Saturday
night. Little formidable opposition
has shown itself SO far. Pressure by
the house leaders, as we'll as by the
president, apparently has done much
to reconcile recalcitrant house mem
bers to the provision of the measure.
President Wilson is expected to sign,
today, Or tomorrow, the measure for
board of export control. This board
will have arbitrary powers over ship
ments of foodstuffs to neutrals, being
designed mainly to prevent neutrals
from getting an overabundance for
themselves or a portion for secret ex-
port to Germany through neutral
countries contiguous to Germany.
This measure probably checking such
export quite effectively, is powerless,
however, to prevent spectators friend
ly to Germany from buying up vast
quantities Of grains for storage or for
extortionate prices later.
