WILSON WILL FIX
RAIL COAL PRICE

PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES HE WILL
TAKE OVER SITUATION AFTER
m'Apoo AND GARFIELD FAIL TO
AGREE ON PRICE.

Washington, April IS President
Wilson has set himself the task OF
deciding on the price railroads are
to pay for coal.
His decision came after a quarrel
between Dr. Fl A. Garfield and John
Shelton Williams, in which they came
nearly 10 blows. Williams is Secre'
tary McAdoos chief assistant.
I Belief here is that the President
will side with Dr Garfield and insist
that the railroads pay the same price
Tor coal as the government
Fuel Production tiampered
Difficulties existing between the
Garfield and McAdoo administrations
have exposed conditions showing dis.
organization OF fuel production and
Q threatened coal shortage again
next winter in this country.
Director Generl McAdoo plans pur.
chase Of lj0000,0C1 tons of coal for
the railways on the contract basis
of cost plus 10 cents ton.
Garfield for High Price.
The government pays a higher price
for the navy and war industries. and
the Garfield administration demands
this price, which was fixed by the
President, be paid
McAdoo is said to have force the
price OF coal for railroads below that
paid by the government and was
seeking to have the differences with
Garfield adjusted when he left on his
tour in the interest of liberty bond
sales.
GARFIELD and Williams then took up
the negotiations When they met to-
day Williams practically made
charge of collision between Garfield
and the coal operators to force up the
price to railroads

They met recently at the White
House and then Williams made his
charges The two came nearly to
blows in presence of the President
Dr. Garfield. with Bernard Baruch
of the war industries board, visited
Mr. Williams today in an attempt to
end differences.
Mr. Baruch told Williams the rail
roads should pay as much as the gov
eminent for coal. Williams became
violent in his opposition and after
refusing to accept the proposal LETT
the room.
Williams contended cost OF coal to
the railroads viii be S40,000,000 more
than ever before and that in addition
to saving this sum for the govern
ment, labor troubles would be ended
Under his plan.

MAKING THE DRAFT FAIR

Congress has removed the chief in.
justice connected with the military
draft. Instead of the quota of any
community being apportioned TO the
entire population, it is now appor.
toned to the actual part OF the pop
ulation subject to selective service.
The old plan bore heavily on com.
munitles with large alien popula.
ton. Because the aliens were count.
ed in figuring quotas, though not
compelled to serve, the proportion Of
American citizens required for the
army was in many cases two or three
times as great as in other places
where residents were almost wholly
native The situation caused much
discomfort, not because the Ameri
cans objected to fighting for their
country, but because ii appeared as
II they were being drawn upon to
fight for aliens who stayed comfort

There are certain other matters in

FREIGHT BY TROLLEY

The proposal before the federal
government to use the in erurban
trolleys of the country for developing
a great short-haul freight system
seems TO have every argument in its
favor and few against The one big
hindrance previously operative was
the competition of the steam lines. In
spite of this opposition, many of the
interurban lines succeeded in carry
ing a considerable amount OF freight.
But wherever steam line fed the
same territory, the freight situation
was crippled by futile fighting.
With the railroads under temporary
government control, the supposed nee.
essity of maintaining highly paid Of
flcials for the purpose of Gripping
their natural helpers and feeders has
been seen to be what it is-an illu-
sion, and wasteful and harmful one.
The steam roads are the natural
carriers OF big loads of long.distance
freight The trolleys are the natural
carriers of small loads OF short-dis.
lance freight. They can relieve the
steam roads OF small and fussy jobs
They can assemble for the steam
roads these small and fussy lots into
great loads to be carried BY them
without delay
The interurban trolley lines are
capable OF great development along
this line because their trackage il
used by passengers chiefly by day.
The night travel by them is almost
ineonsiderable. In the same way, The

the cars pass are used lnfIequently

cars tear up the city trackage very
rapidly, This is matter which can
be remedied either BY providing one
