Eastern Roads
Cut 400 Trains
To Save Coal
Continued from paEe /

will Inconvenience passengers seri-
cusly. The removal Of two trains
between Long Island City and Man
haitian Beach will scarcely be felt, it
is said. The most important removal
is that of the two trains from New
York and Brooklyn to Grecnport, which
is at the other end Of Long Island,
a distance Of about 100 miles. An
eastward train, leaving this city at
1853 p. M, and westbound one, 'eav-
ing Greenport at 1924, will be dropped.
Two trains between BROOKLYN and
Babylon will be dropped, including one
leaving Babylon at 1928 u. m. and used
by commuters in the summer. The
service to and from Patchogue will be
cut by two trains. Two Wading River
branch trains will be eliminated, one
leaving the Pennsylvania Station at
500 p. M, bound for Port Jefferson,
one of the northernmost points of the
island. The Long Beach division suf-
fers the loss of two trains.
Advices from Washington that the
coal strike might be settled soon were
commented on by officials of the Re-
gional Directors Office here with state
even the prompt settlement Of the
strike would not change the plans of
the railroads. The curtailed schedules
will be effective q month or more un-
der any conditions, it was intimated,
with the possibility Of the next step
being toward smaller rather than great
er train service.
Stephen C. Mason, president of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
30 Church Street, appealed in letter
to members yesterday to settle all coal
bills promptly in order to enable the
few operators now mining coal to con-
tinue business.
The reconsignment of coal by re-
gional directors Of railroads, he pointed
OUT, has delayed the payment to op-
orators, with the result that some are
sorely pressed. He added that if man.
ufacturers were compelled to close
down their plants they should impress
upon their workers the fact that the
organized miners have brought about
the lockout.
The employers and employees of the
United States," Mr.. Mason concluded,
"are the joint victims of labor union
leaders who are determined that no
man shall work unless they are per-
mitted to dominate and control the
Amedee J. Casey, editor of "The
American Coal Journal" charged yes
terday that the inactivity of the fuel
administration and railroad admins
tration officials was responsible for
the necessity of curtaling railway
schedules and adopting other radical
conservation measures. He said that
just prior to the strike there were
22,00000O tons of bituminous coal
available, but it was left cluttering
traffic in various points, and little eff
fort was made to distribute it before
the strike. This coal, properly dis
tributed, could have supplied the ma
tion until the labor difficulties were
settled, he said.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Dec. 8.--A scaf-
fold in the Bay Way plant of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
collapsed to-day. injuring twenty work
men, of whom three died later in St.
ENzabcth's Hospital here. Prosecutor

ton. The men were just going to work
when it collapsed. Some Of them had
already climbed upon the structure
and fell twenty-five feet to the ground.

Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
BUTTE, Mont Dec. 8.--This city is
in the most desperate plight of it's his
tory, due to cold wave, which has
sent the temperature to 23 degrees be-
low zero, and a combination of circum-
stances which is causing Butte to
suffer more severely from the coal
strike than any other city in the ma
tion.
In all solemnity tonight Fuel Ad-
ministrator John H. Mcintosh declared
soup kitchens must be established to
keep the poor from starving. The City
Council will vote $4,000 tomorrow for
initial relief. Private concerns are
spending money lavishly to protect
citizens from cold and hunger. Great
piles of wood are being placed daily in
the school yards for free distribution
and the end Of each day finds the piles
gone. In suburban towns the situation
is reported still worse.
The situation is intensified by the
action Of the miners at Diamondville,
Wyo., who left their work a few days
ago, after supplying their personal
needs. Governor Stewart has called for
volunteer miners.
