RELIEF FOR COAL
GAR SHORTAGE
OFFICIAL or RAILROAD ADMINS
TRATloN HAS CONFERENCE
WITH A COMMITTEE.
AGREE ON A DEFINITE PLAN
louisville and Nashville Railroad VIII
Receive $50 Cars Daily From
Other Roads to Relieve
Present Shortage.

Westinghouse the result of the
conference participated in by A. G.
Guthheim, head of the car service sec
tion of the railroad administration, a
committee of nine representing the
coal operators Of Tennessee and Ken.
lucky and senators form six southern
states, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida and North and South Carolina,
and by Mr. Gutheim and w. l.. Ma
pother Of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad, the railroad administration Of
fetal assured the senators and the rep
resentatives of the coal operators that
he and Mr.. Mapother had arrived at a
plan, which, they believe, promises i'm
mediate and substantial relief from the
acute shortage of cars on the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad, which has
threatened to result in a coal famine
throughout the coming south during
the coming winter. The orders to
carry out this plan were put into ef-
feet by the railroad administration.
The plan agreed upon for relieving
the coal car shortage in Kentucky and
Tennessee provides that $50 cars from
roads in the eastern region and 270
cars form other roads in the southern
region shall be turned over to the
Louisville & Nashville railroad by the
administration daily during ten days,
this not to include cars returned to
the L. & N for other cars taken from
1t. This will bring $500 additional coal
cars to the L. & N. road and Mr.. Guth-
helm assured the senators and coal OPP.
orators that the railroad administra-
tion will do everything possible to
eQualize the distribution Of the coal
car supply from now on.
The coal operators decided to ac-
cept for trial the arrangements made
by Mr.. Guthheim and Mr.. Mapother,
but insisted that beside the remedy of
the alleged discrimination against
them, they should receive the differ
ence between the percentage of cars
which the Kentucky and Tennessee
fields have received during the last
esveral months and the much higher
percentage of cars received in the
other coal fields during that period.
This, however, was termed "unreas-
enable under the present circum-
stances" by Mr.. Gutheim, and he re-
fused to concede to it, saying that it
was beyond his authority to go so far
as to grant such demand.

ITALIANS ARE MUCH WORRIED
Situation At Fiume Perplexing To Ital
ian Government, Which Fears
Use of Force.

Rome. Cabinet ministers do not
conceal the enormous gravity Of the
situation and the serious difficulty,
not to say the impossibility, of finding
satisfactory solution to the Fiume
problem. They do not want to use
force against Capt. DAnnunzio, wish
ing to avoid fratricidal conflict, and it
IS said this hesitation may be partly
due to the fact that troops ordered
against the poets forces might refuse
to obey orders.

Peace conaresses compared.

Reno, Nev.-Contrasting the peace
conference at Versailles with the con-
gress of Vienna, President Wilson de-
clared in an address here the Vienna
peace effort had failed because all the
governments represented there were
in the hands of "a small coterie of au.
tocrats." At Versailles, said the presi-
dent, the league of nations covenant
was drawn up by great democracies
so that autocracies never again could
enslave the peoples of the world.
