Short-Line Railroads
Reject u. S. Contract

Washington, Sept. 25. - Proposals
of short-line railroads for nodifi-
cation Of the form of contract with
the railroad administration, under
which short-lines would again return
to government control, were rejected
yesterday by the railroad admins
tration, and counterproposals of the
administration were refused by the
shortline representatives.
Negotiations which have been un-
der way for several days were sus-
pended indefinitely, and several hun
dred short lines, which assert they
are operating at a severe disadvant-
age in competition with government
managed roads, will continue to oper-
ate privately.
Railroad administration officials
characterized the short lines demands
as eNorbitant. The American Short
Line Railroad Association gave out n
statement describing the terms pro-
posed by the railroad administration
as impossible and unlivable."

Members of the Cumberland County
Fuel Committee, it was learned to-
day have made vigorous representa-
tions to state Administrator Potter in
regards to the coal situation in Le-

the lower end OF Cumberland county,
which is said to be alarming.
This territory is served by four
dealers Wierman * Wierman, u. w.

the shipments to these dealers the enr
tire community must depend for the

Attention of the fuel committee has
also been called to the practice of the
Paxton Flour and Feed Company in
hauling large part of it's allotment
across the river to supply it's custom

practice that most OF the criticism is
At recent meeting of the county
committee the entire situation was
laid before that body by Robert l.,
of the county on the committee.
Mr.. Myers presented communica-
tions from various consumers who
complained about tho situation. One
consumer who placed his order on
April l, the first day permitted by the
fuel regulations, contended that he
was entirely without fuel at that time.
Another pointed out that many

serious shortage ct last winter which
resulted in much Illness and suffer
