Pennsylvania Railroads eastern lines,
according to the statement Of Mr..
Thayef, who also says that the demand
for open top cars is constantly increas-
ing. He points out that it is essential
that every car be as efficiently used as
possible.
Three suggestions have been offered to
shippers and receivers of coal to provide
more cars, in order to assure greater
distribution of coal.
The first is that all open top cars
loaded with coal or coke or any other

commodity be unloaded upon delivery
the second, that mechanical devices be
installed to facilitate unloading Of coal
wherever possible, and the third, that
every effort be made to accumulate a
stock OF coal for future requirements.
The railroad administration also
points out that a shortage in box cars
is at hand now, and that unless every
effort is made to load and unload box
cars promptly there will be serious in
reference with commerce throughout
the country.

Richmond, November 15.-Governof
Davis has offered the seat of the late
United States Senator Thomas Martin
TO Carter Glass of Lynchburg, Secretary
of tho Treasury.
The govarnor declined to make any
statement today and Secretary Glass
said over the telephone any announce
,nent might moro properly come from
the governor.
1t is understood Secretary Glass will
accept the appointment, which would
give him the seat until the next cleo
ton il it is convenient for him to leave
the cabinet at this time.
Senator Martin had just been re-
elected and his term does not expire
until 1925. Tho election of senators
by popular vote, however, leaves the
,governor power to fill the vacancy until
the electorate can do so.
Mr.. Glass lives in Lynchburg. in the
western part of the state, not far from
Mr. Martins home In Charlottesville. He
was a member of Congress before TAX
ing the treasury portfolio and as chair
man of the House banking committee
took q leading part in framing and
passing the federal reserve law. His
business is that of newspaper pub
