COAL FAMINE FEARED
FOR COMING WINTER
Shortage Will Be Greater Tn.
less Car Supply
Improves
OPERATORS GIVE VIEWS
Traffic Conditions Must Be Re.
adjusted to Prevent
Famine
Washington, April -

The coal shortage this winter will he
worse than that OF last year unless the
car shortage is alleviated, according to
the statements given TO the National
Coal Association by operators In the
eastern producing fields, where more
than 90 per cent Of the nations coal
supply is obtained.
In the opinop Of the operators it is
time for the war industries board to
take some action 10 readjust the traffic
situation in the East 50 coal may be
moved in sufficient proportion in the
summer to prevent a famine next
winter
Figures taken from the Geological
Survey for the wce, of April 3 show
that In fifteen producing Centers that
have a normal output of l1,SlO,o00 tons
there was a shortage due to insufficient
car supply of 1895, 900 tons. The fig
ures for the week Of April 20, which
are not included in the coal association
statement show gain in production
over the week of April 3 of 566,O0O tons.
The enormous demands Of other war
industries are Crowding coal off the
rails, and the resultant continued short
age of cars at the mines has cut pro-
duction to the danger point the coal
associations statement says.
This is the season Of the year when
the mines should be working at top
speed to produce stocks for storage
against the needs of next fall and
winter The mines, however, are not
working Il top speed, nor at rate even
approaching top speed. In the face Of
the heaviest demand for coal in the
country's history the mines have been
so hindered by insufficient car supply
that they have made little, II any, head
way over last years record, a record
which fell $4,000, 900 tons short of meet
ing the nations demands.
"Opinlon of operators in the great
producing area east of the Mississippi
which furnishes more than 80 per cent
of the Country's bituminous coal re-
quested by the National Coal Associa
tion, is almost unanimously to the ef
feet the coal shortage next winter viii
be worse than that of last winter unless
the mines are furnished sufficient cars
TO enable them to increase materially
their present rate of production.

WAR LEGISLATION Will,
BE PUSHED THIS WEEK
Passage of Ovcrman Bill Ey.
pccled TO Clear Way for
Many Bills

Washington, April 29-rassagc of ts.
Ovorman bill in the Senate. giving N.
President authority 10 rcorganizc CIV.
ernmcnt departments, is expected tbi,
week. This promises to open the way
for enactment Of a miscellaneous lot a,
war legislation.
ON the program for completion during
the week arc the bill. TO extend the GO.
lcCtivC draft law TO youths now twenty.
one years old and establish draft quotas
on the basis Of the number Of men in
class !, tne Sedition bin. the housing
bill and other measures.
New legislation, including proposals
for expansion of the army and emer.
Gency appropriations. is expected to as.
sumo definite form with a view TO ad-
jourrment July !.
Following last weeks ectbacks for
Senate opponents Of the Ovcrman meas.
use. tho Senate today enters the fifth
week Of tho bills consideration, e1.
peCtinC its disposal not later than
Tuesday. Rejection by votes Of forty
one to thirty-seven and forty-two to
thirty-fVe. respectively. of amendments
70 except the Federal Reserve Board and
Interstate Commerce Commission from
the Presidents reorganization authority
was regarded as assuring final Ad-
ministration victory. Those fighting
specifically to limit the Presidents power
to war agencies will continue their eff
forts, although passage or the bill gen.
orally is conceded as certain.
In the Senate the bill appropriating
$50, 900, 600 for housing workmeu at war
Centcrs is to bc pressed Immediately
after the Overman measure. OPPOSE
ton apparently has been increasing and
another effort for limitation Of com
mandccring and other powers is planned
The mineral-ContrOl bill. apparently
encountering rising opposition is await
ing disposal in the House, but it is to
give way, according to present plans,
for disposal of conference reports on the
draft legislation. Tho House is to be
asked to reconsider its amendment al
/ lowing credit on quotas for volunteers
and many predict il will rccedc. In dis
posing Of the other draft bill, for regis
/ tration of youths reaching their ma
| iority, the Senate must consider the
amendment Of Representative Hill, Of
| Iowa, which would place the new men
at the bottom of the eligible list.
