CAN HANDLE
COAL SHIPMENTS

There is nothing in the transpOr-
tation situation with reference to
coal that will justify using it as a
reason for increasing the price Of
this commodity this winter During
the first six months of this year the
market for coal was less than nor
NAL and probably will result in a
larger demand than usual from now
on But the railroads at all times
were able to haul all coal offered
and are confident that they will con
tinue to furnish adequate service.
This is the view of Walker D,
Hines. director general of the
United States Railroad administra-
tion as given before a sub-commit'
tee of the senate interstate com
merce commission. investigating the
coal situation.
My judgment is that we will over
come transportation difficulties to
the extent OF transporting the coal
which the country needs, but these
difficulties will be manifesting them
selves all during the year" he says.
There will be a most favorable op-
portunity for stressing those trans
portation difficulties. creating the i'm
preston there is going to be a
serious shortage of coal and there
fore, that coal had better be bought
at a higher price rather than take
a chance of waiting think, there
