TO TAKE OVER ERIE CANAL

SyStens.

Washington.-Director General Nc
Adoo ordered that the Erie and New
York State barge canal system be
taken over by the Railroad Administra-
ton and that a feet of barges be con-
structed Immediately and operated
there under the direction Of G. A. Tom
linson, of Duluth, Mimi, to relieve
freight traffic. This is the first inland
waterway whose operation under the
Railroad Administration has been def
nitely decided upon as a result of the
extensive investigation made by the
Committee on Inland Waterways of
the Railroad Administration. Within
a few weeks, however, the Director
General is expected to order several
other canal systems and naVigable
rivers, including the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, the Black Warrior River
in Alabama and several Atlantic coast
waterways used actively by the Rail-
road Administration to relieve traffic
on the rail lines. Construction of
barges within two or three months and
their intensive use in the late sum-
mer and fall is planned. Investigation
now is being made of the practicability
of concrete barges, which, 1t is said,
can be built quickly and cheaply.

ROADS PAY THE FULL PRICE
Will Not Be Given Advantage in
the Price Reduction
For Coal.

Washington. - Railroads hereafter
will purchase their coal at the full
market price and cars will be evenly
distributed at all mines, under an ar
rangement reached by the Railroad
and Fuel Administrations. The plan
was accepted after President Wilson
interviewed to Tttle differences be-
tween Fuel Administrator Garfield and
John Shelton Williams, Director Of
Purchases for the Railroad Admins
tration. The Fuel Administration OBJ.
jected to sales Of coal to railroads at
prices less than those charged other
consumers and to the system whereby
railroads gave 100 per cent car sup
ply to mines supplying coal for rail-
road use while other mines suffered
from car shortage. One effect of the
arrangement, it was pointed out, will
be that all consumers will share alike
in coal distribution.
