COAL COMPANIES
ASK S425,O00,0O0
Complaint Against Railroads
for Failure to Furnish Cars
Opens Up Vast Pos.
sibilities.

Washington, May 1S.--In one Of
the most far-reaching complaints filed
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, four Utah coal companies to-
day seek to recover approximately
$425,000,000 from seven railroad as
damages alleged to have been sus-
tanned through the failure of the roads
to supply them with an adequate
number Of coal cars for their opera
tons.
The case sets a precedent. If de-
cided in favor Of the compliments it
would open the way for the filing of
innumerable similar complaints, not
only by coal and other mining COM
panies, but by manufacturers and
shippers Of virtually all commodities
carried in interstate commerce for al
legged losses, running into many mil
lions.
The complainants are the Cameron,
Spring Valley and Standard Coal
companies and the Independent Coal
and Coke company of Salt Lake City.
The Southern Pacific, Union Pacific,
Los Angeles & Salt Lake, the Oregon
Short Line, the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Western Pacific Rail-
road companies and. the Oregon
Washington railroad and navigation
companies are defendants.
Compliments also ask the commits
sion to compel the railroads to iii
crease their equipment to keep pace
with industrial demands.

The various campaigns for funds that have
been undertaken have been not only successful
but deserving of success

every call for money for war purposes. Many

plus for grafters.

Warnings Against Organizing
Any New Regiments Not in
Accord With Army Plans

MAJORS AND CAPTAINS
Number of Staff officers Will Ac-
company Pershing to France
to Study War

Washington, May 21.-Warnings
against attempts in any shape to Or
ganize new units OF the national
guard which do not accord with the
organization plans for the guard ap-
proved by President Wilson were CIV
en- today by the war department.
As 1T stands, the guard is deficient
in artillery, signal, engineer, and 9th
er special troops, in addition to the
number Of infantry regiments. The
department requests that persons in
terested in raising new national guard
units should confer with the adjutant
general of their state.
Removes Restriction.
A board of general officers of the
army headed by Brigadier General
Herman, acting assistant chief of staff,
was in session today, selecting so ma
jors and captains of the line to be
designated for duty on the general
staff. The army bill signed by the
president last week removes the re-
striction on the number OF staff ottl-
GERS who may be kept In Washington
and the full strength of three general
officers and IS others will be main
tanned hereafter. Additional staff Of
ficers are necessary in connection
with the organization Of the canton
ment camps to begin in July, when
the national guard Is assembled in di.
visional units. ~ There will be 80
camps altogether and an officer Of
the general staff will be assigned to
each. It is regarded also that a num-
ber of staff officers will be sent to the
front in France, probably. with Gen.
eral Pershing's forces. and return in
a few weeks and aid in the compila-
tiOn of instruction manuals for troops
which will Incorporate modern devel-
opments of warfare.
