WORK NULLIFIED
BY RAILROADS
Garfield Places Blame For Fall
uTe TO Distribute Coal.
APPEARS BEFORE COMMITTEE

Little General Relief Expected, He
Says, Until the Railroads Are Put
Under One Management - Adds
That Recent Trouble In ohio over
Coal Shortage Was Largely Psy
ehoIogeal."
Washington, Dec. 27.-Much Of the
effect of the fuel Administrations
work has been nullifed, Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield told the senate com
mittee investigating coal conditions.
by the transportation situation
Mr.. Garfield said little general re-
lief could be expected until the rail
roads were put under one manage
ment and that if the war continued
long time 1t would be necessary for
the government to take over the coal
supply and parcel It out equitably.
DR.. Garfield said the recent trouble
in Ohio over the coal shortage was
largely psychological" BY priority
order, coal was shipped through the
state to the lakes at a time when need
ed in some Ohio sections he said, and
the people became aroused when they
saw 1t moving through, and in some
instances appropriated It.
The administration efforts have
been directed to a great extent to the
c+i,,,,lo4ian 90 nrOdunfton No r,oaat da.
mands Of the war, but, DR.. Garfield
said. because Of the traffic congestion
the more we produced the more
trouble we added to the railroads.
The normal 10 per cent increase over
the production of last year has been
maintained, he added, though the war
has brought a demand for an add
tional 10 per cent over the 1916 out
put, which has not been met.
In the past few days the private
consumer has been given more con.
sideration than heretofore, DR.. Gar
field explained. At first the main
idea was to supply the government
and the railroads, but with the suf.
fering due to the shortage in many
places, he said, the administration
recently had devoted most Of its time
to attempting to get coal to places
where 1t was most needed. Condi
tions already are better, he stated,
though the situation was not well In
hand and would not be until trans
portation facilities were greatly i'm
proved.
DR.. Garfield said he was not familiar
with dividends many Of the coal com
panies were paying, but that he be.
lieved many operators we're making
more money than ever before. Good
prices he regarded as necessary 20
large production Senator Vardaman,
a member OF the committee, insisted
that the operators were "plundering
and robbing" the people and the
whole power Of the fuel administra-
tiOn should be employed to stop it.

ANOTHER IDOL WAR
IS DEMOLISHING

We feel like getting up and shouting
from the housetop. The President to-
day takes over the railroads. May they
never go back into private hands, but be
operated henceforth, whether owned or
not, by the government and made a
servant of the public instead of a pri-
vate snap. This step should have been
taken when war was declared, and the
mines along with them. The war has
learned us some things we are not likely
to forget after the horrors of war, rapine
and murder have passed-that private
ownership and control of the railroads
of the United States is indefensible.
If there was anything needed to show
the senselessness of the private owner
ship and operation of the great transpor-
tation system of the country it is only
necessary to point to the foolishness of
four railroad stations in Celina, four sets
of everything, and an abominable SER
vice as a consequence. Celina is only one
of thousands of such monuments to rail-
road ! = T'ication and inefficiency. Just
as much reason for four post-ofices and
four postmasters and four everything.
