mine at Meeting

General curtailment of passenger
trains running out of and from prin-
cipal cities of the country will be left
entirely to the discretion of the re-
gional directors of the railroad ad-
ministration, it was announced today
following meeting of administrative
officials yesterday, called to consider
curtailment of passenger trains. No
curtailment of freight trains will be
considered, 1t was explained. but in
case cuts in schedules are made they
will be made in passenger trains.
There will be no actual hardship
worked on the passenger traffic Of
the country, it was explained, but it
was made clear that there must be
some train curtailment in order to
reduce soft coal consumption by the
railroads. In no case will travellers
have difficulty in travelling, but efforts
will be made to eliminate some trains
which overlap others and those which,
in pinch, might be claSsed as not
primarily essential.
Each regional director, under the
decision made yesterday that there
must be some train curtailment, will
have absolute power in the region
under his control to eliminate certain
trains. He will be guided, of course,
by the daily coal production and allo-
cation reports turned in to the fuel
administrator and the railroad ad-
ministration. No hint was forthcom-
tion whether trains running into the
Union station were to be curtailed.
The order for such curtailment, as has
been explained previously, would
come from L. W. Baldwin. regional
director. at Philadelphia, but would

issued by Mr. Baldwin.

GRAVE COAL SITUATION
IN CANADA REPORTED
Fuel Commissioner to Make State
ment After Conferring With
Washington officials.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ont. December 5.-The
coal situation in Canada is graver than
it has ever been before. 1t is under
stood Fuel Commissioner McGrath is
in communication with Washington
and that an official announcement is
likely soon. Shipments from the states
continue worse. and there are fears of
industrial plants being crippled. 1t is
stated that unless the shipments of coal
from south of the line to Canada start
soon the Canadian government will find
IT necessary to go over the head of
Director General Hines of the United
States railway administration to obtain
speedy action.
Premier Borden Watchful.
Premier Borden and his cabinet are
closely watching this matter. In
Hamilton, Toronto. and western cities
the situation is acute. In Ottawa
conditions so far are fair. 1t is prob
able that Canadian cities will soon
appoint their own fuel commissioners,
who will communicate with the gov
ernment. all of which there is au-
thority to do under the war measures
act.
There is much criticism at govern
mental procraStination of the past,
it being pointed out that while in
Alberta and western provinces Can
the world. with unlimited resources,
Canadians. with an unusually severe
winter climate, are dependent on an
other country for coal.
The present situation. indirectly. is
also hurrying along the day when
veloping the ST. Lawrence waters, so
that electrical power can take the
place of much coal now used, will be
undertaken.
