DIRECTOR HINES AND ASSIST
ANTS DECIDE THERE Is COAL
ENOUGH FOR RAILROADS.

Chicago. There will be no dras-
tic general curtailment OF train ser
vice in the United States at the pres
ent time, despite the seriousness OF
the coal problem. This announcement
was made at the conclusion of .
meeting attended by Director Gener-
al Of Railroads Walker d. Hines and

from the regional directors, express
ed the opinion there was sufficient
coal to run the railroads on a practi-
cally normal basis for 25 or 80 days
and that production Of bituminous
coal was being increased daily. A
freight embargo would be the last
thcught-of measure to conserve coal.
That the coal situation was serious
was admitted by those in attendance.
Further consideration of the subject
will be given during the present week
ny Mr.. Hines and II any curtailment
cf train service is decided upon, am
pie notice will be given the public
Coal now in the hands Of the rail
roads under the order of the Fuel Ad
ministration will continue to be dis
tributed to public utilities and other
