Talking Stock OF Coal

T is difficult not to feel apprehensive over
the next winters coal supply when the
fuel administration itself admits that the
tonnage now in sight will not be enough to
go around; when the operators confess their
inability to increase materially their output:
when drastic conservation measures have
been found so necessary that many i'm portant
though nonwar. industries are being put on
reduced fuel basis. and when even the ia H.
road administration is unable to offer any
definite relief in the matter of car service.
All this seems TO spell helplessness. how
ever, rather than rcsourcefulness. 1t sounds
as if the government. which is in supreme
control not only of tho nations coal supply
from the mine to the bin itself but in con-
troll of all the facilities needed to produce
and distribute it, is pleading inability to
meet crisis, and that is not the kind OF at
titudc which the people expect the govern
ment 10 assume in season of war.
1t would be vastly more becoming to the
government If. instead OF warning OF Il pos
sible coal shortage and throwing up it's
hands in the face Of a difficult problem, it
would put its shoulder 10 the wheel and de-
mand that the coal be mined, that it be
hauled to the market and the domestic con-
sumer as we'll as the war industry be safe
guarded against possible famine. 1t would
be more creditable to the fuel administration
necessary tonnage to meet legitimate de-
mands would be produced, instead of pass
ing the responsibility on to some other
agency. Likewise, it would be more credi-
table TO the railroad administration il it an
nounccd that the cars would be made avail
able instead OF finding fault with somebody
else.
Coal is too vital a thing in the present
situation to be booted about in official con-
troversies. This product simply must be
produced and in sufficient quantities to keep
the wheels OF war machinery going and the
efficiency of the nation up to its highest mark
There may be a labor shortage in the mines
as has been alleged, and tho draft may have
made too heavy inroads upon mine opera
tives. If so. there is very definite remedy
to be applied. There may have been car
shortage, and no doubt has been, but the
director OF railroads has ample au-
thority to build 100000 100000 more
cars if he finds they needed.
The time for passing the buck" in the
matter Of an adequate coal supply has
passed. The fuel and the railroad admin
istration officials owe it to the country to get
together around a table and to determine
exactly what is needed, then do the needful
thing. They do not lack for power, and GER
tainy do not lack incentive.

\ WhiskyIcss America

IF the war continues for another year, as it
L promises TO do, there is every reason to
believe that the available stocks OF whisky
now in bonded warehouses will have been
withdrawn, and will be either in private
hands in the storerooms Of retailers, and
it is not far cry from that point to state
Of abstinence. certain amount of illicit
whisky will be made, OF course, but the
volume of this will be relatively small.
When President Wilson September s
OF last year issued his proclamation under
the food control act requiring all dstilleries
to close while the lasts, there were
about 5000 900 gallons of whisky in the
bonded warehouses. Just prior to that time,
tho official records show, 40 100000 gallons
were withdrawn in anticipation Of the pass
age Of the war tax BILL which increased the
tax upon alcoholic spirits from S1.10 to S320
4 gallon. AS result OF these Withdrawals,
most wholesale and retail dealers were
stocked up for several months.
Notwithstanding these stocks the record
further shows that approximately $4,000 900
gallons have been withdrawn since Septem-
Der, leaving only 135, 200, 900 in bond, and
showing that about $4,000 900 gallons have
been consumed in ten months. This is at
the rate of something like 1OO,0OO,O00 gal
Ions a year. Tho excessive price of whisky
over the bar or in bottle. however has
slowed down consumption somewhat during
recent months, as the internal revenue
records indicate that the warehouse supply
is being drawn upon now al the rate Of only
about 5000, 900 gallons month.
There is fair chance that the new war
tax bill will further increase the tax upon
whisky, on tho ground that it is obvious
luxury, and if this is indicated in legislation
that is now being drawn. it may be expected
that withdra walls will be greatly stimulated
by spectators and others unless in the
meantime the bone dry prohibition bill for
the period Of the war becomes a matter Of
certainty This measure will provide, ac-
| cordng TO its supporters, for the commanders
ing OF all spirituous liquors for muntion pur-
poses.
In any event it Is evident that within an
other wear there will be little or no whisky
on sale in this country The drinkcr of
strong alcoholic beverages will either have
/ TO turn to milder stimuants or else accustom
himself to no stimulants at all. At the
/ same time, the business OF the blockade
runner will become more hazardous for the
/ reason that the very possession OF whisky
| will arouse natural suspicion, and may be
made prma facc evidence Of the laws vio-
atiOn.
