TRANSPORTATION BLAMED
FOR SHORTAGE OF COAL
Chairman A. w. Thompson Of ope-
rating Committee Says Rerout-
ing Will Help.

After a. conference with Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield today, Chairman
A. w. Thompson of the operating COM
mittee of the eastern railroads de-
clared the coal famine was due more
to a shortage of transportation facili-
ties than shortage of coal. The oper-
ating committee. he said, is trying to
overcome this by rerouting coal ship
ments.
Chairman Thompson and Admins
traitor Garfield went over the whole
transportation question as 1t affects
coal very exhaustively, with the result
that with the Encouragement of ship
ments on railroads, eliminating long
hauIs where shorter ones will reach
the territory, and also eliminating the
so-called cross" haul some immediate
Improvement in the situation is hoped
for
The result of the plan would be to
supply coal to localities from the near
est producing or st'-ping center in
stead of over the iines of ordinary trade.
At the Department of Labor today it
was declared that the labor situation
now is particularly favorable and can
in no way be charged with RESPONSE
bility for the coal famine.

JONES SANK QUICKLY
AFTER TORPEDO HIT

Washington, Dec. ID = The
first survivors, story of the
sinking of the American de-
stroyer Jacob Jones, as told by
Lieut.. J. K. Richards, was
made public today by the Navy
Department. 1t shows that
only two small boats and three
lifeboats floated clear of the
wreck. The men on these
were picked up after seventeen
hours of exposure.
An official summary of the
lieutenant's account follows !:
Lieut.. Richards said the de-
stroyer was proceeding TO-
wards port, after holding tar
get practice, when at 4:20 p.
m. a torpedo was sighted by
the lookout. The command :
ing officer, atationed on the
bridge, ordered the rudder
hard right and engine full
steam ahead. The torpedo
struck the ship on the star
board side, ARREST of torpedo
tube No. 8. This tube with
torpedoes was blown 200 feet
| in the air. The radio was
wrecked and the main mast
brought down.
"Guns were manned immedi-
ately but no submarine was
sighted and the vessel began to
settle by the stern. The cap
tain gave the order to abandon
the ship. Whaleboats which
were got out capsized. The
motor sailor could not be got
ten out. A wherry and mo-
tor dory managed to escape
safely. Three lifeboats
floated clear.
"The vessel sank at 1929 p.
m Depth charges aboard ex-
ploded, apparently blowing off
the stern of the ship.
ono survivors, except those
on the boats and life boats were
found after a thorough search
Lieut.. Richards said. After
seventeen hours in the water
the men on the RATS were pick
ed up by a British ship.
"The submarine, which was
sen after the Jacob Jones sank
