CLAIM BUSINESS
IS THREATENED
Report That Coal Cars From
Midwest States Will
Return Empty.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, March 21.-The
transportation system and CONNER
cial life of the northwest is threat
ened by the reported plan Of the
railroad and fuel administration TO
send coal from Illinois, Indiana and
Arkansas to this territory in open
cars and then have the cars re-
turned empty, according to a tele-
gram sent Sec'y McAdoo and Gar
field today by the presidents Of
four railroads here. The telegram
says that bringing coal from those
states is q transportation waste in
any kind Of car, because the raj
haul is 500 miles, while the average
haul from Michigan and Superior
docks is only $50 miles
The presidents explain that the
present rail transportation scheme
Is IDEAL because coal moves west
from lake docks in box cars which
are sent back loaded with farm pro-
duce. and declares that farmers
cannot supply the east and the
allies with grain if the box cars are
taken from them. II is pointed out
that the problem is one Of trans
pOrtation rather than fuel.
The telegram was signed by
Priests William p. Kenney, Great
Northern; J. II. Hannaford. North
ern Pacific; Edmund Pennington,

Marie. and James T. Clark. Chicago.

Grafton at this time for the follow

means a yearly loss Of $4,000; third,
the repair item exceeded the bud

they arc mistaken for there is no sign

From the time they started to pack

this present date there has been con

our boys; and | have not tho slightest
doubt that this joy and plcnsantncss
will follow us through out this great
struggle until we reach the soil OF the
dear old u. S. A. again.

that we would never have an oppor--

OF Acmrica to win this great struggle
for Democracy which they are now
; fighting so bravely for; but as time
. is the only true fortune teller: 1t has
proven their words and thoughts TO be
wrong. Because VIC arc actually scrv
, ing our, country now
Each day the boys go about their
daily duties not only willingly but
!, chocrfnlly singing and histling their
old American melodies. (Old Kcntuc
ky Iiome) seems TO relieve the boys
from Kentucky OF the idea that they
, are away from home. while the song
OF (Homc Again in Indiana) lifts us
all from our feet. (Take Me Back to
Old ViIginia) is stimulant to all
our Va. boys; If there is any thing
: that makes us blue it Is the song Of
dear Old Girl;) which makes us
think OF friends and sweethearts which
We left behind. It is useless for ME
to mention the popular song of (Old
Black Joe;) because 1t is known as
one OF our favorite songs.
The boys receive so much pleasure
out OF their daily work until they seem
to forget all about the surrounding
excitement. I must not forget to men
ton the attitude OF the French people
to all American soldiers; they do all
in their power to make 1t pleasant
for us; and 1t is highly appreciated
by all ot the soldiers.
There is one thing which I wish to
