Miners Declare

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 17.-Dele-

vention here read with great interest
today the announcement from Wash
ington shutting down industries for
five days because of the coal short
age. International President F. j.
Hayes, commenting on dispatches
from the east suggesting an increase
in production, said the men have done
all that is possible to increase the
output under present railroad condi-
tons.
Give us the cars and we will give
you the COAL" Mr.. Hayes said. THE
present number of mine workers In
the country, working eight hours
every day can increase the production
900 900 900 tons year If given the
facilities. We have complaints from
miners who say they are not working
full time" =.
THE trouble is with the railroads,
said John P White, former president
of the miners union, who Is now asso-
ciated with National Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield as labor adviser. Mr..
White, who is attending the conven-
ton as a delegate, said:
ut is not a question OF production.
There is plenty Of production. but the
railroads cannot move the coal that is
mined. There are Miners walking the
streets in mining towns right now, I'M
EMPLOYED. because the railroads do not
furnish cars.
There are miles and miles OF
loaded coal cars on railroad tracks
that are not moving. The trouble is
the country has outgrown the, rail-
roads. The railroads have not kept
the pace"

Washington, Jan. IA series of

the fuel administration is expected to
make the situation more clear. Tn
der a provision 1t was decided this
morning to insert in the order the
government will become the purchaser
OF virtually all coal produced in the
five-day closing period. Mines pro-
ducing coal under contract to indus
tries which will be closed down will
be directed to turn their output over
to- state fuel administrators. The
treasury department will set aside
$25. 100000 for the purchase OF this
coal.
Coal in transit to industries which
will be closed will merely be diverted
by state fuel administrators and
turned over to consumers on the
prefential list. The coal will be paid
for by the ultimate consignee. who
will remit directly to the mines In
which the coal originates.
