g It's simple enough to get people to visit
your store and make purchase-once. But
to make them permanent customers and en-

duction of food, its most important in
dustry. What wheat and meat ere TO
the daily life of the people coal is to
the industrial life. 1t was almost
wholly the possession of its vast stores
OF coal that made the United States the
greatest commercial nation in the
world. just as it was practically the
sole determining cause of the CONNER
clal greatness of England and likewise
OF Germany's later rise to industrial
ascendancy in Europe.
The distribution of this tremendous
coal supply involves nearly 40 per cent
of the traffic of the greatest transport
tation system on earth. that system
beng itself wholly dependent upon this
coal for motive power and using more
than quarter of the total coal produc-
ton Of the country for this purpose.
Only very small percentage of this
huge supply goes for export-css than
8 per cent-and only little more for
the coaling of foreign ships arriving in
our ports. More than 80 per cent is
used IN the homes and factories of our

price of S. suggested or agreed on as a
maximum is an eTorbitdnt, MUST and op-
presStrc price
Il am sure none of my associates in the
council will dissent from the view | have
herein expressed both the limitations
Of the powers Of the council and the
effect of the action alleged to have been
taken"
One of the six members of the Coun-
ell Of National Defence for whom Sec
rotary Baker pretended to speak was
Secretary Lane, who had himself made
the agreement. No disclaimer of this
extraordinary action on the part of
Secretary Baker came from the Presi-
dent, either formally or informally.
and the inference was, therefore, that
President Wilson approved Of Score
tary Bakers Reputation Of the agree
ment and of his attack upon Secretary
Lane and the coal committee.
This might be termed chapter one
of the controversy.
Thereupon ensued a period of great
confusion in the coal industry, with
tlilS 1SSQlL. ne PUBIC WAS CuCOuI-
aged in the belief that coal prices
would be cheaper and that coal could
be had in plenty at these lower prices,
and the whole summer, that might have
been spent in intensive production and
boarding up coal against the winters
needs, was in serious part wasted.
The years of effort which the coal
operators and the railroads had spent
in endeavoring to educate the public
up to summer buying and summer stor-
ing was thrown away. Only the far
sighted and those who knew how Sc
rious was the actual situation would
go ahead and contract for coal with
the prospect that the price would
shortly be heavily reduced by govern
mental order. Coal production, which
has been rising steadily for more than
twelve months and was we'll on the
way to provide the nation with album
dant fuel, fell sharply.
Then came the order appointing as
Fuel Administrator, with the most au-
tocratic powers, DR.. Harry Garfield,
President Wilson's successor in the
chair of political science at Princeton
and later made president of Williams
College, and the fixing of the base
price for coal at 81 ton.
Consider the situation: There are in
the United States over $4,000 coal OPP
orators or companies, with over hun
dred thousand mines distributed all
over the country. They formed one of
the major industries of the United
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-20

times, under the stress Of competition,
is between and % per cent. and fur
naces and blasts are constructed to
handle coal of this grade Of impurity.
Nowadays, Of course, the stress q com
petition is eliminated: an operator ca.
sell almost anything that il black and
will burn. The percentage Of ash, it is
estimated, has fully doubled, and in
some cases 1t has been found to have
risen to as high as 20 and even 80 per
cent
The effect Of this is not to compel
the use Of 10 or Is per cent more coal,
but of from 50 10 100 per cent, for the
simple reason that such mixture of
rock and coal siags up the fr>,aces
and ovens, and in order to get the same
amount Of heat much greater guam
tity OF coal must be shovelled through
the door
See what this means 1t means that
perhaps all of the nominal increase in
the coal product this last year has been
annulled by the quantity of dirt, and
instead of hauling an increased guam
tity Of real ccal. the cars have hauled
10 per cent more dirt, and the actual
work done by the coal produced has
been less than last year.
Some experts even go so far as to

Only DR.. Garfield Could
Not Forcsec Famine

Even the most casual observer could
have predicted the result, and many
casual observers, including the writer,
made that definite prediction, namely,
mat coal famine WAS inevitable. Or.
Garfield alone could not see. Then
priority orders issued by the Govern
ment as to the transr ortation Of
freight began to reach their natural
consequences in the disruption of the
railroad business, and the distribution
or coal was one of the first lines to
be lnterfered with To make a bad
situation worse, Dr.. Garfield and his
aids took a hand in tho issue of prior
lty orders themselves.
Some of these orders are almost be-
yond belief. Out of countless instances
or which YOU may hear | select two.
There IS coal mine somewhere below
Washington, with a normal OUTPUT of.
say, 1900 tons per week. All of this
was under regular contract, and divid
ed among dozen or more takers. Ar
time when the gates of New England
were virtually closed from the West

congestion at Albany and other Dojnts

order came from Washington thar this

paling waste of transportation in the
United States. Railway transport has
become so cheap that it counts for nl-
most nothing in the selling price Of "a
great many commodities. The result
is an utter disregard Of the distance
travelled by Foods.
President Delnno, formerly of the
Wabash, now Of the Federal Reserve
Board. tells the case OF an army camp
once located near Des Moines which
got it's hay from Virginia, its oats from
Colorado and other supplies in a kin
dred way All this in the heart Of the
richest agricultural state in the Union.
It is much the same way with coal.
Enormous quantities Of coal literally
roll past each other, bound in opposite
directions. If 4 in the present crisis
the ears had to travel minimum dis
lance it is the belief of highly COM
petent transportation exp-rts that the
present situation could be rightcd in
thirty days.
This plan of the Railway War Board
was presented to DR.. Garfield last De-
comber. and so far az any one can find
out still reposes in his desk.
Another little appreciated factor is
the amount of rock and dirt This per
centage in ordinary coal in normal

More cars and more locomotives. there
fore, would have only solved DR.. Gar
fields difficulties for very short time.
IF the whole nation had been warned
and rewarncd at the beginning Of last
summer Of the situation last winter,
and told to lay in every available ton
of coal then before the crops began to
move, there would have been no famine
this winter.
SO much for what has happened.
What very briefly. could now be done
that does not involve abjcct stoppnge ?
Last September the Railway War
Board, in cooperation with the coal
committee at Washington, worked out
mn elaborate system for zone dis
tribution Of the coal that is estimated
might save Mt least 20 per cent Of the
present coal haulage, and therefore add
at least l5 or 20 per cent to the maxi
mum supply.
The idea is a perfectly obvious one.
1t is simply a plan to supply the coun-
try from the nearest coal field, in so
far as that field will meet all demands
as to the kind and quality of coal de-
sired.
