he said
Moore attributed the idleness in
Ohio mines to suspension of many
business activities through the end
ing of the war; the attitude OF the
federal administration in not buy
ing Ohio coal, and loss of indiana,
Illinois and Michigan markets
through the federal fuel admins
traitors orders establishing coal
market zones. Diversion of the total
Ohio production exclusively to the
northwest through the lake ports,
Moore declared, caused Michigan,
Indiana and Illinois industries that
formerly used Ohio coal to obtain
supplies from those states and con
tracts for one year were forced
upon them by the operators. He
SAYS there will be no relief in Ohio
before the opening of the lake
traffic.
One year ago coal production
was at its highest stages in history.
Every mine was working and labor
was not sufficient to supply the de-
mand, Moore said.

You railroad most OF the time
over there in the states while over
here we have a time to get the
trains over the road In the first
place the French give the Ameri-
can engine crews the worst kind
of coal that they have and so very
often a drag pulls up to the station
and stops for an hour or so while
the fireman catches up on the fir
ing. The coal the Americans get is
a very poor grade of slack and it
must be bad to work, for every
time l run shy on the briquette
coal and try to burn the slack in

The French engine crews get the

the size of stone paving block.

To begin with l am IN a shack back
of the stone French station and
have to listen for the trains all the
time or one will slip by me. The
trucks work here day and night
and make so much racket that it is
often difficult to hear the trains
come in Most of them take water
here and SO this is one Of the infor-
nation places along the line. Often
I have to get lineups of the trains
because they come through from
quite a distance and the dispatcher
doesn't know much about them I'M
til they hit me when they are west
bound. Dispatcher is a poor name
for him here, because he doesn't
do any dispatching- All he does is
keep what records he can. 1 am
almost to the east end of the divi-
sion and west of me there are
about six or seven offices and then
the dispatcher at St Pierre des
Corps. The Red Cross run a nice
canteen here and the minute a
train pulls in the crew beat it for
the canteen, so if want to get any
Information about the train l hike
over there and never fail to find

a sandwich. Sometimes the poor
devils are tied up here for six and
eight hours Often when they

will put them in the hole until

MORE PROSPERITY
NOTED IN DUBLIN
AS BANKS REPORT

Dublin - Increasing prosperity
during the past half year is shown
by Irish bank reports. The divi-
dends paid to the shareholders
vary from eighteen per cent t o
seven per cent Since the war be-
gan the deposits in the Irish banks
have increased from 100000 to
EGO, zoo, 900, Notwithstanding the
fact that the interest payable on de-
posts is much smaller than that
obtainable from war loans. A great
deal of Irish money went into the
war loans. The increase in the
money available in spite of greatly
increased taxation is a measure of
the effect of the war on Irish pros
perity.
