EXPECTS NO SHORTAGE
IN CARS TO HAUL COAL
Director General Hines Tells SEN
ate Abnormal Conditions Are
Not Likely.

Replying to Senate resolution, Di-
rector General Of Railroads Hines in
formed the Senate yesterday that
while there had been some car short
age in the bituminous coal districts,
he did not anticipate any shortages
in transportation which will be in any
sense exceptional or abnormal or
which will justify oppressive prices
for coal"
1.-THE great danger that confronts the
public in this matter" the director
general asserted. "is that any short
age either in production by the mines
or in transportation may be exagger-
ated so as to serve as a pretext for
heavy increases in the coal prices,
which in my opinion are already high.
generally speaking. 1t is worthy of
serious consideration whether con-
gressional action can be taken to pro-
tect the public under these circum-
stances from excessive coal prices"

with the laird Of Skibo Castle. AS
was his custom, Mr.. Carnegie had
gone to Scotland for his annual rest
and had left Schwab in charge of
one OF the important branches Of the
plant, in which there were eleven
furnaces. ..-,=i.-s{
He had just been appointed to the
position Of authority, and. like all
young men, who wished to impress
their employers with their ability, he
decided upon a record-breaking period
of production. The result was far
beyond his hopes and he rushed to
the telegraph office and cabled Mr..
Carnegie as follows:
NO. b furnace broke all; records
today" adding the figures.
Schwab was not kept waiting long
for the reply. 1t came the following
morning and the words it contained
have remained fixed in the brain
of the recipient, for the cablegram
read:
What were the other ten furnaces
doing? ANDREW CARNEGIE"
This incident undoubtedly had its
effect upon Schwab when he was d.
rector general Of the E. F. c., for it
was noticeable that he was never an
enthusiastic proponent Of rivet-break-
ing contests. though an earnest advo-
cate of steady, thoroughly finished
work.
Valet Decided to Quit.
During his recent visit to Walter
Reed Hospital, where he addressed
the wounded boys. Schwab told the
following story of Mr.. Carnegie and
himself to illustrate that the richest
men can yet be very poor.
"Mr. Carnegie and myself were
travelling together on a train to dedf-
cate two buildings that we had do
mated to one Of the Pennsylvania COL
leges." said Mr.. Schwab. About an
hour before we got to the station we
started to dress. I had a valet in
those days. 1 don't know what 1 had
him for, but did. When we went to
put on our shirts I found him on his
stomach searching under the berths.
What are you doing there?' 1
asked.
Mr.. Schwab.' he replied, 4 am not
going to work for you any more
why? I asked him.

Would Rule Hungary.

The Rumanians caused the over
throw of the Peidll government. and
they now, with an excess of insolence,
propose that Hungary be included
under the Rumanian dynasty. some
thing most hateful to the Hungarians.
Archduke Joseph is trembling under
the threats of a Rumanian ultimatum
which was presented at short notice
and in doubtful manner by more than
doubtful persons and then officially
denied.
Obviously the Rumanians have only
one wish, namely, to gain time to
overcome the railroad breakdown and
finish the transportation of every
thing of value to Rumania. The city
is full of Rumanian spies, who are
causing wholesale arrests. This sit
uation cannot last. The starving peo-
pie will kill one another. will riot and
pillage and turn upon their jailers.
/ imagine that they may even be ca
pable of chasing out the Rumanians.
Now is the time for flrmness and de-
cision or else this corner of Europe
will become the starting point once
more of endless trouble.
