Preference to Be Given in Movement
Over Other Freight, Railroad
Board Orders.

Coal and iron ore hereafter will be
given preference in movement over
other freight, under orders just re-
ceived by railroads from the council of
national defense's general railroad
board, as a means of assuring adequate
supply of the two materials on which
Industrial war preparations most de-
pend. Railroad presidents were charged
individually with the responsibility of
carrying out the orders. under threat
Of disciplinary measures in case of
failure.
This is the first important step taken
by the board since its organization two
weeks ago with Fairfax Harrison, presi-
dent Of the Southern, at it's head. and
including five other railroad presidents.
It's aim is to coordinate the work Of all
railroads In virtually a single continent
tai system for war needs.

service commission of the America
Railway Association also issued orders
requiring Immediate movement Of coal
