"COAL SHORTAGE DUE TO SCAR.
CITY D FEARS"

Washington, April 16-The short
age of coal production was due to the
lack of proper car service, Dr. H. A,
Garfield charged in statement issued
from the headquarters of the uFel
administration. He said the inability
to obtain cars at the mines was the
main cause of the decrease in output
of 100000 tons of bituminous coal
during the first week of the coal year.
starting April 1. He declared the sit
uatiOn was grave and feared that
miners would be lured from the fields
during the period of inactivity. A
statement issued by the railroad adj
ministration, without knowledge OF
the statement by DR.. Garfield, de-
clared that the railroads are buying
all the coal they can and are deliv-
ering low per cent car service. This
action is defended on the ground that
If the railroads do not get a good
price for their coal, freight rates will
go higher, with the result that the
consumer will suffer.

GOOD ADVICE
Given to Business Executives Sectic'
Of the Chicago Association Of Com
merce by Edward A. Filene
a Merchant Of Boston.

Edward A. Filene merchant OF
Boston gave advice to the business
executives section of the Chicago AS
ISOLATION of Commerce at luncheon
in the Morrison Hotel during the re-
cent convention of the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States OF
America. He made plea for organ
isation of business men ard he warn
ed the men who do not give them
selves Fundamentally to backing the
war that they will be left behind in
the race when the war is done. His
topic was "How to be wealthy after
the war"
"a really successful man," he said
"is he who not only knows his own
business but knows about everything
else so he can get his business into
right relation with the world. II
knowing one thing thoroughly was
the real way to success the professor
of finance in your colleges would be
the greatest banker in the world. He
should dominate finance, he doesn't
because he doesn't know lot of 9th
er things.
1.-THE man who narrOws himself so
that he can only see his own bust
ness finds later the virtues of his be-
ginning become the vices Of great sue
cess. After you have learned to con-
centrate you must learn to get away
from concentration and broaden your
vision. After the war the man on
horseback-the soldier-will be the
one who will get attention and the
business man who wants to be weatl-
thy will have to show that he has done
lot He won't have a chance in bust
ness at all unless he can show that
he toed the mark. We Judge people
by what they do"
He closed his address by an exhorta-
ton to do and to give. For myself"
he cried, Il am afraid I'll come out
of this war with more money than
ought to have. AS ! see myself at
the end Of the war, older with visions
Of opportunities lost, I think Of my
self as really geographically poor"
