Coal Supply Nolu Is Up
To Operators, Hurley
Tells Bifur,2ir1ous Men

PHILADELPHIA, May 28.-Bitumi-
nous coal men from all parts of the
country attending the first annual con-
vention of the National Coal Associa-
tion here, were told to-day that the
government will spend $1,000,000,000 to
expand railroad facilities, and that
sooner or later the producing of suffi-
cient fuel will be squarely up to the
operators. This declaration was made
to the convention by E. N. Hurley,
chairman of the United States Shipping
Board.
Mr.. Hurley said there must be more
efficiency in and about the mines to
increase production, and that there
must be new business methods, new CO.
operation between employer and en-
ploye, and the creation of schools for
training new superintendent, foremen
and workers to meet military drafts on
labor.
j. O.>A. Morrow, general director of
distribution of the Federal fuel admin
istration, said the coal production for
the coal year starting April 1 must
reach 735, 100000 tons in order to meet
the country's war needs, and that under
the present rate of consumption and
output the production of btuminous
will fall short 100000 tons.
I'm the year just passed." said Mr..
Morrow, "the total amount of anthra-
cite coal taken from the mines was
S9,O0O,OOO gross tons. do not believe
that it will be possible to increase
those figures, which means the entire
burden of increased production must
tall on the bituminous coal miners"

quaintance with every employe of his
company.

ing Of time and transfer.
"The street equipment of between

Of New Freight and
Passenger Rates
Many Persons Suggest
Changes and Flood Ex-
pected Later
Plans for Commuters
Arrangements Made to Re
deem Parts of Unused
Tickets at Cost Price

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Sugges-
tions for notifications of the new scale
of freight and passenger rates began
to reach the railroad administration
to-day and were filed for later nspec-
tion by administration rate experts
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Officials explained that many
changes would be made, and that let
ters explaining apparent injustlces
would be welcomed.
Most shippers organizations and
traffic experts Of industrial concerns
had not completed careful examination
of the new schedules, however, and
serious proposals for readjustments
are not expected in any great quantity
for week or more. These may be
filed either with Director General Nc
Adoo or with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which has authority to
review and make final decision on any
rates.
Regional directors to-day made ar
rangements for the issuance of new
communication and other tickets June TO-
when the higher passenger fares go
into effect. Portions of old mileage
and communication books and unused
tickets will be redeemed at the rate
paid for them. Arrangements for this
redemption are to be made by passen-
ger traffic managers of the regional
directors at New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Atlanta and Roanoke, Va. Re-
establishment of new excursion fares
will be announced soon.
Railroad administration headquarters

concerning the probable fate of certain
railroad presidents in connection with
the appointment of Federal managers
for each road. 1t was explained that

Shop Employees, Dissatisfied
With Increase, Threaten
to Go on Strike
Revision Upward
Considered Likely
Administration Suggests
Formal Complaints Be
Filed With McAdoo

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Scores OF
protests reached the railroad admins.
tration headquarters to-day against
small wage increases granted by Direc.
tor General McAdoo's recent order
Word came from Alexandria, Va, that
between 800 and 400 shop employees of
the Southern Railway had quit work
for the day to emphasize their dissatis-
faction over the new scale,
Notice of the demonstration at Alex
andria was greeted at the railroad ad-
ministration with the comment that all
protests and suggestions for modifca-
ton of the wage order should be pre-
sented formally to the Director Gen
eral for consideration by the Board of
Railroad Wages and Working Condi-
tions, which will meet here within q
week to take up just such questions.
Officials said strikes will avail nothing
at this time, except to hinder railroads
and cause public ill-feeling toward tthe
strikers.
Change in New Scale Likely
Reports came that other union or
carnations, particularly machinists.
were planning walkouts, but these were
not credited by labor directors Of the
railroad administration.
1t has been conceded by some off,
cials that higher wages than those al
lowed by the Director Generals order
might have to be paid shopmen. in
cluding machinists, sheet metal work
ers, blacksmiths, electricians, boiler
makers and car men, owing to the high
scale of wages in shipyards and other
industries employing large numbers of
these workmen.
The new wage order established a
minimum of 55 cents an hour for ina
chinists blacksmiths, boilermakers and
receiving the same hourly rate"
Confusion has been created over the
Interpretation of this provision, since
the hourly rate varies greatly in diff
ferent shops and parts of the country.
Track Laborers Disgruntled
Another class of employees who may
haze to be paid more are the main
tenancc of way laborers, who are being
lured with higher pay to other work.
For several weeks reports have been
reaching Washington that track labor
ers were planning to remain with the
railroads only until given their back
pay under the retroactive increases.
and then to go to other employment.
Some of these reports proved un-
founded on investigation, but officials
are not overlooking the danger of
losing employees to other war indus
tries.
For this reason the new board of
railway wages will be instructed to
make all possible haste to consider
wage adjustments called to it's atten-
tion by the Director General on COM
plant from employees, and to recon
mend notifications from time to time
1t is probable the board will take up
the grievances of machinists and other
shopmen first. Many of these have
complained that they get not cent in
crease under the new order.
Several thousand complaints and sug-
gestions were received by the Director
General after the reports of the Rail-
