CAR SHORTAGE THE CAUSE.
National Coal Association Issues
Statement on Situation.

Statement on Situation.
Car shortage and congestion. aug
mented by urfarorable weather con
ditions, caused loss Of approximate
lv 100000 tons in the production %
bituminous coal during the week just
ended, according TO . statement pf
the National Coal Association issued
last night. Telegraphic reports &c
the association show that the mines
were hit harder by the failure of the
railroads to deliver enough cars for
loading than in any other week o.
which the association has record.
This heavy loss of production fol-
lows a loss Of 100000 tons in pro-
duction during November, solely 20
cause of the car shortage and slow
car movement. The total loss in pro-
du.tion of bitininous coal from Nov-
cnber /, because of inadequate car
supplv, is not less than 100000
tons.
Mines in Ohio, where the shortage
of coal has caused acute distress dur
in@ the past week. were heavily
handicapped by failure Of the rail
roads to supply them with cars
enough to permit them to run full
time. The loss of production in one
district alone approSinatcd 100000
! tons.

TUNNEL DRIVE IS
BARRED TO MOTORISTS

II will be of interest to- the public
to know that the Tunnel drive lHading
into the Royal Gorge has been closed
for military reasons to both vehicles
and pedestrians. All walking up the
railroad track into the Royal Gorge
has long been prohibited but not until
recently did it apply to the Tunnel
road. "A good many motorists have
lately driven their cars up to the end
OF the Tunnel road. parked them there
and then walked UP into the gorge to-
wards the Hanging bridge until turn
ed back by the soldiers. Guards are
maintained at each portal of the
gorge. but none along the roadway
above the railroad tracks. The troops
in closing the Tunnel drive to travel
are acting under instructions from the
military authorities in Denver To
make the trip over the Tunnel road
until the embargo is raised can only
be accomplished by securing an order
from the sherin's Office.
