Removal of Freight Jam Not Sufficient to Relieve the

l.4ssoeietcd Pr,ss Les,ed WireJ

WASHINGTON, June 15.-An em- bargo on coal exports as a means Of relieving serious fuel shortage in var ious sections Of the country, notably in New England, was taken up for con sideration today by several depart ments of the government. Reports from New England received in the past few days by the interstate com merce commission have told of coal shortage so serious than in some cities only two days supply is on hand. Gov ernor Coolidge of Massachusetts has made requests for relief. Other sec tions of the country are said to be facing similar problems. The railroad congestion from which the country has not fully recovered and the strike of marine workers in a number of ports are held to be the principal contribut- ing factors.
 Eradication or the harmful influence of these two factors was the subject of a conference today between Attorney General Palmer and members of the
  Means of dealing with rail congestion and marine labor troubles were under stood to have been agreed upon, al though no statement was issued after the conference.
 Restoration Of normal transporta- tion conditions by rail and by water, however, officials conversant with the situation said. would not bring com plete relief from the coal shortage.
 During the war, the fuel administra- tisn was possessed of power to declare an export embargo on coal, but some legal experts hold that no official now has power to declare an embargo and cite as support of their contentious the effort made in the closing days of the last session of congress to pass a bill providing for such an embargo.
 Members of the interstate commerce commission are said to hold that the commission could not put an embargo on export coal except indirectly by means of car assignment orders, which would eliminate the supply of cars for the transportation of such coal to the ports.

UNIT RAIL CONTROL.
Trade Commissioner Colver Says il viii
Answer Problem.

Washington, June 30.-Operation
OF the railroads of the country as a unit"
as a means of relieving the present trans
portation difficulties was suggested today
by William B. Colver, of the Federal Trade
Commission, in an address before the
Washington Ad Club
Mr.. Colver predicted that a continua-
tion Of the present situation would mean
untold suffering and industrial shut
downs next winter" Only one-tenth of
the needed coal for next winters supply
has been moved to the head of the lakes,
he said, while industries in New Eng
land were actually shutting down for
lack of coal. Farmers were unable TO
obtain cars TO move the residue of last
years wheat crop at time when the
new crop was coming TO harvest. Al
ready there were predictions of SIS -four
and % cent bread.
When ope4 ated separately Mr.. Colver
maintained, even the largest railroad
could not operate proftably and at rea-
sonable rates if it had to supply motive
power and equipment capable of taking
care of the peak load which came each
year but at varying seasons for the in
dividual road.

Mr. Thorne recommended that the

now base their request for advanced

be made in passenger rates, with the
balance OF freight tariffs to care for the

"An increase of n per cent per passeng-
