State War Secretary Back
From Coal Fields-Says
There Will Be Suffering if

Shortage of Rolling Stock
Holding Back Black Dia-
mond Shipments - More
Coal in State Now Than
Ever Before.

Only the conservation Of fuel-coal
and wood-will prevent actual suffer-
ing in the state of Idaho this winter.
Joseph Hansen, state secretary Of
war, the man who Is in as close touch
with the fuel situation as onyone in
the state, issues this warning follow
the coal fields.
His Investigations disclose, however,
that there is more coal in this state
now than there has ever been at this
time of the year.
Much of this coal has been placed
in storage by the buyers. The dealers
have little If any of it on hand. The
shipments were received, however, and
the coal was purchased and delivered.
SHORTAGE OF ROLLING STOCK.
Due to the fact that but so per cent
of the time Is devoted to the mining
of coal at the Utah and Wyoming
mines, the output has greatly slack
ened. The mine owners claim that the
time has been cut in two by the fall
ure of the carriers to supply them
with cars. The rolling stock Is In
ADEQUATE to meet the mine outputs.
Heavy traffic of all kinds Is bringing
into use on the part Of the carriers all
of the rolling stock that can be posi-
bly, operated.
Secretary Hansen believes that the
right of-way over the railroads should
be given exclusively until the conges-
ton is relieved, to perishable goods,
army co Mp ant and coal.
Figures introduced at the freight
rate hearing now in progress before
an interstate commerce commission
examiner at Salt Lake show the coal
tonnage shipped from the mines on
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad dur
ing the calendar year of 1915 and the
first six months of 1917 follow
