servation propaganda.
The necessity of making a national
campaign for saving coal has arisen
from the war shortage OF transporta-
ton. The pattern for this new govern
mental activity is the elaborate food
conservation propaganda. But, to the
economic student. the save coaP' ap-
peal is the inevitable accompaniment OF
price-fxing.
DR.. II. A. Garfield, fuel administrator,
and 2. B. Noyes, fuel conseryStor, are
Just about TO utter in full strength their
broadsides for coal saving. attacking
the public with arguments and appeals,
pictorial, vocal, printed, photographic
and. where force is demanded, with the
arm of the law, and making a nation
wide fight against the habitual Ameri-
can coal wasters.
The whole problem can be stated 10
a man driven into a corner in this par
agraph:
Coal is power. This is a coal war.
The war and the domestic demands
for the year are for 750,OOO,OOO tons
of coal, large increase over last
year. Stimulated to the utmost, the
limit of this years production will be
$50. 100000 tons. There will be
shortage of 1OO,OO00O0 tons. This
must be in some degree made up BY
saving on the part of the 25O,OOO in
dustrial and locomotive firemen and
by the 15,OOO,O 900 household firemen
Of the nation. II it is not made up
voluntarily by conservation, then 1t
must be made up involuntarily by
Federal limitation of supplies to nom
essential industries. Therefore, save
coal. a shovelful a day.
The Investigator likes 10 go deeper
into the matter. Why this limit on
production? Why this increase of pro-
duction? Why this pressure for con-
servation?

Administration S Power
Is Used Sparingly.

The Fuel Administration is at pains
70 stimulate production by allaylng
labor troubles, by speeding up trans
portation and by appealing 70 the pa
triotism of the operators, which is not
negligible by any means. The Fuel Ad-
ministration is at pains TO limit con
sumption by conservation and BY liml-
tation.
Limitation is an instrument when
Administrator Garfield uses sparlngly,
although intimations have been made
that non-essential industries-that is,
non-war industries-will not only be
served last. but that 80 per cent re-
duction of their coal supply may be
made obligatory at any time. The de-
termination is to supply the war in
dustries first, and the public utility
and household needs next, and then TO
make a fair distribution of what re-
mains. all with the least possible dis
turbance to non-war industries.
This comes under the head OF prior
ity in delivery, question involved
with the food priority and with the
task of the Shipping Priority Board.
II is here that the authority Of Messrs.
Garfield and Hoover seem TO conflict,
the one urging priority IoE Iuel anu
the other priority for food. The dif-
ference will be amicably adjusted. al
though the need for a general priority
authority over the various admins
trations is being insisted upon by the
Washington critics.

Government Catches
Runaway Market

The outstanding fact Ok the new gov
erning function in this war-adapted So
cial organism is that the government
has fixed the price Of coal at the mines
and. in effect, at the point Of consump-
ton.
The obsolete "laissez faire" method
was to permit a runaway market, an
extortionate price. a panic cost of coal
= the consumer, and 50 10 discourage
consumption as automatically to insure
conservation.
But too often one locality was con-
serving coal in panic while another
was wasting coal in Il low market. W
coal was boarded at one season ana
wasted at another.
The Fuel Administration has at
tempted 70 stabilize the coal market.
Community shortages and eXtortion
are alike wasteful. But the in
surance of reasonable supply OF
coal and the insurance OF coal At
reasonable price do not automatically
make for conservation in case of short
age. Hence the necessity of accom-
panying price fixing with conservation
propaganda, and even of supplementing
price fixing with involuntary Limitation,
The latter to be a reluctantly used last
resource.
Price-fxing may be accompanied
nv. first. lack of conservation on the
uart of the confident and protected con-
sumer. and secondly, lack of production
on the part of the inadequately reward
ed mine operator and inadequately paid
miner. The latter can be in part rene
died by raising the price, and so can
the former. for that matter, provided
the fixed price is not already too high.
The government rebukes its critics by
the announcement that production is
being increased by 50,000,O00 tons.

transportation Is the
Real Problem

The transportation OF coal energy from
the mine 70 the power boiler is the task.
This country is short on transportation
facilities, therefore il is short on coal
Transportation has become the prob
lem on land as well as the problem at
sea.
One begins TO comprehend the
nature of the problem when confront
ed with this fact-the transportation
Of the 30,000,000 carloads of coal
mined last year filled more than half
Of ali the freight cars carried by the
railroads.
But when TO this eloquent factor is
added the explanation that the rail
roads themselves in their locomotives
used last year between 125,000,000 and
$4,000 900 tons of coal, and that they
will this year require for their use
l75,000,000 tons. it is seen that the
hauling Of coal is burdensome prop
osition.
The greatest handicap 20 increas-
ing coal production during the last
year has been the lack of railroad
coal cars aggravated by the lack of
engines and other transportation IA
cilities.
Coal cars are not simply trans
portation" in the coal industry; they
are as much a part of the mine as the
mine cars. No coal can be mined
under the modern system of mining
without a coal car under the tipple
into which the coal can be dumped.
Coal tonnage takes up 80 per cent of
the entire railroad equipment OF the
United States-cars, locomotives, sid
ings and terminals. Coal shipments
clutter uo and overtaX the roads. And,
like an evil that grows upon itself. the
hauling of this great quantity of coal
.alls for an increased use of coal in the
locomotives. Twenty-Five per cent of
the motive power Of the roads is used
up in the act of hauling coal. and when
more coal is shipped more coal is
needed in the engine tender TO supply
the power to haul the coal.
Coal is. therefore, not only a prob
lem, but it creates problems. 1t may
all be summed up in transportation.
As Fuel Conservator Noyes would
put il. the waster with the shovel,
therefore. is a man who stands in
very serious position. With every
shovelful Of coal he wastes he lowers
the efficiency Of the man on the firing
line. he lowers the temperature of the
cantonments. he reduces the speed Of
the submarine destroyer. he diminishes
the force of the projectile. he slackens
the speed of the munitions plant; in
brief, he compels the unfortunate use
of cars to carry him another shovelful
of coal.
The function of the fuel administra-
tion outlined itself in this general man
ner:
