THE COAL SHORTAGE

Now that the government has gotten the labor question
pretty we'll in hand and has virtually assumed control OF
railroad activities, it is to be hoped that the coal shortage
can soon be remedicd.
That was ii master stroke of policy in the settlement
wherein the miners were required to put IN MINIMUM OF
time each week. the penalty for failure to do so beng he
in proportion to tn derelictiOn. a
This provision strikes at the keynote OF the trouble
The why the country has suffered coal shortage IS
simply that the coal has not been mined Many causes nave
worked TO produce this result Part of these lay with the
operators and part with the In some mines labor
disputes interrupted operations in other there seemed TO De
no ambition show large output but rather the reverse
The truth of the coal situation, taking the country as
whole is that there is plenty of coal in the mines and
plenty of get out the two properly connected
M there no valid reason why the country Should suffer
from lack of fuel If operators will bend their energies
TO their output rather controlling the markets.
the situation will take turn for the better Let us
hone the recent settlement will have this effect

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Rumors Of q re-

of the submarine war, are in circula-

Express from Amsterdam. 1t is re-

men melted sailors about to leave on
submarine cruises to attack their officers
and surrender their ships or seek an
opportunity to sink them and get them
selves interned in neutral harbors. More
than fifty submarines are said to have
disappeared.
Twenty-three of the ring-leaders of
the revolt are reported to have been ar

others have been arrested at Kiel and
elsewhere. il is added.
The correspondent who sends the re-
ports admits that the stories are con-

The men behind the movement, the
accounts state, are revolutinary sailors

Quoting propaganda with the object of
stopping the submarine war because of
the increased dangers.

Hoke Smith Working to
Prevent Discriminatory
Rates on Cotton I'm Less
Than Carload Lots
THE Perfect Laxatfve

The following letter is self-explana-
tory:
August 2, 1918.
Messrs. Charles A. Prouty, Edward
Chambers and r. c. Wright, and
Railroad Traffic Department, United
States Railroad Administration, Wash
ington, d. c.
Gentlemen:
For two weeks past 1 have been con-
fined to my bed with malarial fever, but
was able to reach my offices for a short
time yesterday. There l learned that
you were considering placing a 80 per
cent rate upon cotton received in less
than carload lots, in excess of the car
load lot rate.
1 write to urge that no such action
take place, and that the fullest hearing
be given to those interested.
l am hardly in condition to discuss
the subject at this time, but even partly
sick, and without consideration, l be-
lieve 1 might suggest reasons at least
sumcient for delay.
First-The fact that for many years
the railroads of the cotton states have
moved cotton in carload lots and without
as to price when received
in less than carload lots, must OF itself
suggest to you that such a course would
not nave Deen puTSuSu uhASSS dlAPAJ
reasons existed for it.
Second-My own observation has been
that cotton really moves in carload
lots. even though received at station
in less than carload quantities. con-
centration point may be twenty-five or
even fifty miles from the small town. The
farmers bring their cotton to the town
in quantities perhaps from one to twenty
bales. They deliver it at the station for
shipment to the concentration point,
where the large cotton buyers reside.
The cotton is held for few days at
the depot, without expense to the rail-
road. it being a commodity which can
be piled upon the platform or even
placed outside the platform under a
shed. A number of different farmers
bring in their cotton, and every few
days a car is loaded with cotton to
one of the buyers at the concentration
point 1t costs the railroad no more to
receive the carload from several differ
ent farmers than if it all was delivered
by a single farmer, or by a local cotton
buyer in the small town So that. in
reality, the shipments arc in c"r.cad
lots. while the deliveries may , = = :
than carload lots.
