ried out when applied to both anthra-
cite and bituminous coal.
In the midst of winter on q
stormy day, even under present
conditions, 1t is very difficult for the
dealers in Fargo to get all their
orders filled and prevent suffering,
but we dislike to think of what
would be the inevitable result IL this
suggested order were enforced"
Aimed TO Halt Scramble.
According TO Fuel Administrator
Blakemore the government is simply
trying to stop the scramble Of each
man for himself. The commissioners
referred to conditions in the rural
districts, where, when car Is spot
ted, farmers come in and get several
tons, while others go without. Par
ceiling a carload shipment out in
half-ton lots, he said, would mean
an equitable distribution and there
would be no suffering.
But Fargo coal dealers say that
the farmer is justified in taking home
two or three tons at a time because
in the dead Of winter, the roads are
such that he Is unable TO make mar
ket for days and in some instances,
such as conditions were last winter,
for month. II was pointed out
that IL some Of the farmers on the
branch lines had not been supplied
during the holidays last year, the
suffering would have been intense.

tRy Associated Press.l

Washington, sNov. 20. - Heads Of
the four railroad brotherhoods came
here today at President Wilson's re-
quest to discuss with him their pro-
posed new demands for higher
wages. The President was prepared
to take up the problem with a free
hand, so far as the railroads are
concerned, having been formally
notified that the roads will abide by
any steps he sees At to take.
An entirely new proposal which II
make, Is that rail transportation
tions of the carriers and employees
be dealt with by the formation of q
new federal commission TO have
complete jurisdiction and power over
the companies and workmen. They
plan, 1t Is stated, to ask the Presi-
dent<fo appoint such commission.
with plenary powers, headed by some
prominent official thoroughly
conversant with the transportation
situation.
The brotherhood heads to meet the
President are: w. G. Lee, of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen;
Warren s. Stone, OF the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers: A. r.
Garretson, OF the Order OF Railway
Conductors, and w. s. Carter, OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen

ANY announcement regarding the
conference, Mr.. Lee said before going
to the White House, must come from

under similar conditions. If this

In view of these conditions it is q

in this respect of delivering one ton
