COAL ASSOCIATION CALLS UPON
GOVERNMENT TO READJUST
TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.
MINES CAN NOT OPERATE
UNLESS SHIPMENTS ARE OPEN
National Association Says Trouble is
Solely With Railroads and That Cars
Are Only Solution-Prediets Greater
Shortage Next Winter Than Last
Unless Relief ls Obtained.

Washington. April 19--unless suf-
ncient supply of cars can be speedily
furnished nothing can avert a disas-
ferrous coal famine next winter and
serious interference with the war pro-
gram, in the opinion OF the National
Coal Association representing the
operators of the country.
The association calls upon the war
industries board, "or whoever is run
ming the war" to readjust railroad
traffic so that coal can be mined, trans
ported, and stored for future use.
Another Shortage in Sight.
Another coal shortage, more serious
than that of last winter and almost
certain interference with the war pro-
gram, are inevitable throughout the
east" says the association, unless
there is a readjustment soon of traffic
over eastern railroads. The enormous
demands of other war industries are
crowding coal off the rails, and TINS
resultant continued shortage of cars
at the mines has cut production to the
danger point.
This is the season OF the year Wien
the mines should be working at top
speed to produce stock for shortage
against the needs of next fall and win
ter. The mines, however are not work
ing at top speed. nor at rate even
approaching top speed.
Lack Of Cars.
1.-THE mines have been so hindered
by insufficient car supply that they
have made little If any Roadway over
last years record-a record which fell
$4,000, 900 tons short Of meeting the ma
tons demands.
1T is understood that the railroads
are hauling far more traffic as q whole
than they ever hauled before II is
evident therefore. that freight Of other
classes than coal is responsible for all
or practically all Of the increase. 1t
would seem that the time has come
