STEPS TO RELIEVE
COAL CAR SHORTAGE
TO BE TAKEN AT ONCE
BY THE GOVERNMENT
Assurance Given Coal Opera,
T. tors By District Attorney
From Conferences

CHARLESTON, ". Va, Jan. L.
That immediate steps will be taken
by the federal authorities to relieve
the coal car shortage situation was
the assurance given coal operators to-
day by: w. G. Barnhart. United States
district attorney. upon bis return
from New York, where he held a. con-
ference with number Of district at
torneys Of eastern states, together
with several attorneys-general.
1T developed in this conference"
declared Mr.. Barnhart. that while
coal Is being mined in West Virginia
and sold on old contracts for S1.50 a
ton to IS ton on new contracts, that
it is retailing in the new England
states at from $12 to $13 ton.
Part Of the car shortage IS due, so
is was said in conference, to practices
OF some Of the consignees who. after
receiving the cars, hold them instead
OF letting them return to the mines !;
another cause is the abnormal conges-
tion Of traffic in practically all Of the
big city yards.
The federal attorneys decided to
require the railroads to keep the gov
ernment officials in touch with the To-
cation Of cars. When this is done irS-
mediate action can be taken by the
federal authorities if the cars be held
longer than reasonable
''1f it be found that the dealers are
combining to advance prices the gov
ernmeht will take action" concluded
Mr.. BaTnhart.

on the western front by the British
and French soldiers as a beginning
of the end of the great war. There
may be varying views and theories as
10 how the end Is 10 be brought about,
but there is no question that through

riction that the next twelve months
will bring & victorious peace to the
ALLIES. Opinion among the British
and French fighters as 10 how lhe war
will end Is divided into two schools.
The one believes that Germany will be
willing to grant extreme concessions
and the other that only military pres
sure will bring about the fruits Of vic
tory. Both schools are, however,
agreed that this is the decisive year.
