Pooling Plan Adopted
To Speed Deliveries
Of Coal to New York

Pooling Of all anthracite coal at Jer-
scy terminals was agreed upon yester.
day as final drastic step toward
clearing up the railroad congestion now
gripping the avenues of travel into New
York and providing enough fuel to pre-
vent more Of the city's industries from
closing.
This action was taken at a meeting
of railroad executives and fuel heads
as the danger OF more Wholesale shut
downs in the factory districts in
creased. 1t was held at the office of w
H. Truesdale, president of the Lacka.
wanna Railroad. The decision wa.
reached wtNDut the sanction of the
Washington fuel administration, and a.
consequence is subject to review by
DR.. Garfield. =
But it was presumed that the chief
administrator, who so far has not
granted the numerous pleas for aid
made to him by the New York admins
| traitors. would be unlikely to rescind
this action. Unless he does, it will 20
into immediate effect.
Under the new plan all coal reach
ing New York tidewater, no matter tc
whom ii is consigned, will be placed ir
common hoard, to be drawn upon by
all those who can prove that fuel act
ually has been consigned to them. Thus
the normal difficulties Of sorting
out thousands of cars in order to find
the particular ones consigned to GER
tain purchasers will be removed. A
nj 1Qc u 70 ,I,rr, TO,
signed will receive ten cars nearest the
end of the yards, and no switching will
be required.
Demurrage Evils Overcome
Another important item that was
pointed out by those who agreed upon
this plan is that the evils Of the dras.
tic demurrage order issued by Secre.
tary McAdoo, Director General Of Rail.
roads, will be overcome, since this az.
rangement will lead to immediate un-
loading Of cars. Local fuel wholesalers
who said that they would fear to pur-
chase coal with the prospect OF paying
high demurrage charges because of the
shortage Of labor, agreed that the new
plan would remove the hardships that
otherwise might be imposed upon them
Necessity for such drastic action be-
came apparent when news from nearly
every point of the metropolitan district
indicating that big factoriea would be
compelled to shut down within twenty
four hours unless fuel immediately was
Forthcoming reached the offices Of the
local administrators.
Practically so per cent of the $50
factories in Queens will be compelled
to close their doors indefinitely to-
night unless large quantities Of coal
are diverted to that borough immedi-
ately. said George Ryan, fuel admin
istrator for Queens. The official spent
twelve feverish hours yesterday in an
effort to discover enough coal for one
days supply for the borough.
But the search was fruitlcss. Only
eight cars Of coal reached his juris-
dicton during the day. whereas more
than twelve times that amount of coal
is the normal daily consumption OF the
borough. Every ounce of surplus has
been consumed. and with very few eX-
ccptions the bins in the big factories
there are reported to contain but a
few hours supply of coal.

drastic measures were resortcd to
by the local fuel administrators YES.
terday in an effort to break the grir
OF the coal famine that threatens to
shut down many industries that have
found it impossible to obtain coal since
the end of the Garhelfseon scrvation
period.
Chief among these was an agree
ment of administrators, railroad ex.
ecutives and coal wholesalers, to poo
all anthracite coal received at New
York tidewater, thus eliminating all
delay in unloading and moving cars
This step was taken without the sane.
tion Of DR.. Garfield.
At the same time Washington
dispatches announced that DR.. Garfield
had refused to comply with the insist
ent demands that New York be relieved
by working the New Jersey terminals
at full capacity twenty -four hours each
day. He said the plan had been Sc.
cretly tried and had proved imprac-
ticablc.
10 Ships C0aled
Only nineteen ships were coaled in
the harbor yesterday, gain Of two
over the preceding day. At this rate
the local adniini stration fear that many
weeks Will be consumed in clearing the
harbor Of shipping, meanwhile, leaving
the city in its present state Of indus
trial emi-paralysis. Between 10000
and $4,000 tons OF coal reached the
city yesterday.
DR.. Garfeld's chief move toward
clearing up freight congestion took the
form Of appointing j. y. A. Morrow, a
coal man of many years. experience, as
head Of q new division Of the fuel ad-
ministration, the duty OF which will be
to get fuel from the producer to the
consumer. Just how this would be done
was not explained in detail.

GERMAN LEADER WARNS
AGAINST SOCIALIST FLOOD

Berlin, Sunday, Dec % The Bour-
geoise parties in Germany are striving to
erect d solid front against the majority
Socialists IN the coming elections 10 the
national assembly The elections are
only four weeks away and the former
Right end Center parties are still much
disorganzed
The Socialists have an intact party
organization and have a strategic ad-
vantage because they are Do1v ln virtual
control Of thc government. An added
factor is that the Ebert-Haaae govern
ment has been strengthened in It's position
bv the action Of the recent revolutionary
Congress. which not only widnned the
ia lsdlction Of the Congress but placed
IT ITS disposal Il servIceabie central COM
mittee Of Soldiers and " orkmen 5 Councils
This has been interpreted rs marking the
defeat of the ultra-FadIcal tendencies,
championed by the proletarian extremists.
The provisional government viii use the
tune before the elections in restoring order
and allevlating economic conditions.
The majority socialists are virtually in
command Of the central government
and dominate the local governments
throughout Germany They probably will
enter the election fight as a solid majority
irrespective of the future action OF the in
dependent socialists. or theSpartacus group.
Friedrich Naunann, progressive
leader. writing in the Tageblstt, recalls
that the position Of the majority Socialists
is SIMILAR to that OF the national liberals
At Me time the German empire was
founded He estimates that the Radicals,
who polied thirty-five per cent of all the
votes in 1912, may be able to increase that
to fifty per cent III view OF the current
political transition TO the left.
Herr Naumann says that the problem
Is most serlsus and can be solved only if
the German democracy takes united
action in the behalf OF advanced liberalism.
lie adds
The socialist flood continues to rise,
but with it rises our fear of the devastation
of German economic and political life.
\ sound Republican democracy is our only
salvation.
The national assembly will be called TO
sorder ten days after the elections which
will be held january 49, This period
will be used in collating the vote and
arranging technical details The session
will continue eight weeks. Cities which
are urging that the national assembly
meet there are Frankfort, Cassel, Erfurt,
Bayreuth, Weimar and Nuremburg Ber-
lin is likely TO be overlooked, as the prog
ress of the congress held last week con
