NO COAL SHORTAGE,
PREDICTS PEABODY.
Hines Says Operators viii
Try to Blame Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-SSharp differ
ences of opinion on the probable coal
situation this winter were expressed by
Director-General Of Railroads Hines and
f. s. Peabody, formerly of the Fuel Ad-
ministration. to-day before the Senate
vestigating increases in the price OF
coal.
Director General Hines declared the
coal operators would lay stress on trans
portation difficulties to explain the in
creased coal prices. although in his opin-
ion the railroads would be able to move
all the coal necessary. Mr. Peabody
denied that unduly high prices were
being charged for coal and said legisla-
ton Calculated to alter Sthe laws OF sup
ply and demand would not remedy the
coal problem He added there was no
probability of a coal shortage this WIN
ter unless deliveries were held up by a
shortage of cars or by labor troubles.
The mines of America can supply 40
per cent more coal than the possible
demands of the country, Mr.. Peabody
asserted, and the labor supply is ade-
quate. He declared the cutting down
of the railroad storage to 100000 tons
was reducing the roads TO a sixteen
day fuel supply. which might result In
coniiecation of coal supplies by the rail-
roads.
The Director-G General suggested that
tne Government retain enough of its
"war power" to enable II to control coal
prices until normal conditions were re-
stored completely. The transportation
difficulties will be kept before the pub
lie, exploited and perhaps expanded
Mr. Hines said ain an effort To iustifv
rising prices to as high a point as the
public will stand and for which it should
not stand"
John H. Sherburne of Massachusetts,
told the committee that In New Eng
land there now was a shortage of APP
proximately 80 per cent. in bituminous
coal.
