Five barges, built at Elizabeth City.
n. c., by order of the inland water

Two barges have been turned over

bound for Cumberland. The others,
lying in the canal, above S1st street,
will leave for the western terminus
of the waterway in a few days.
More Expected Soon.
Another feet of five barges built at
Elizabeth City is expected to arrive
next week or the week following. The
government will have ten boats on
the canal before the season ends and
may considerably augment this num-
Der next year. The Canal Towsge
Company, which is operating the gov
ernment-owned tonnage, has about
eighty boats of it's own in the regular
coal service between Cumberland and
Washington.
Government control of the canal as
a means of increasing coal shipments
to Washington and to that extent re-
lieving congestion on the railroads
was first advocated by The Star last
spring. Several citizens bodies in
dorsed the suggestion and Secretary
McAdoo instructed the inlands water
ways commission to make survey of
the proposition. Col. John Stewart of

Results in Cooperation.

The Army officers report resulted
in the committee cooperating with
the operating company. the Canal
Towage Company. to increase the de-
livery of coal to- the boats and facili-
tate the unloading in Washington and
at government stations on the Po-
tomac river.
Later, the government entered into
contract with the company guar
anteeing it. against loss in operation
Its next step was to place an order
for ten boats of it's own.
Coal movements via the canal during
the early part of the season were held
up by labor troubles. Increased wages
were given boatmen and 1ocktenders.
Recently the labor situation has become
acute again through the operation OF
the draft. 1t is understood that defer
red classifications will be asked for men
employed on the canal.

Plan Exchange of Cargoes.

Boats now return from Washington
to Cumberland empty, and. in the opin-
ion of business men Of the two cities.
this is an economic waste which should
be corrected. Representative Frederick
". Zihlfnan of Maryland, who has been
most active in bringing to the attention
of the government the economic. posi-
bilities of the canal, brought about the
formation of a joint committee of the
Washington and Cumberland chambers
of commerce for the purpose of devising
plans for return cargoes.
This committee Is expected to revive
| it's activities, now that government
boats actually are in operation on the
waterway Cumberland is developing
into an important manufacturing center,
and it is believed that much raw mate
rial can be satisfactorily shipped there
on the canal boats.
