According to all the laws OF happy

der to meet this alleged shortage the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
which is now exclusively directing the
distribution of railroad freight cars,
has restricted the use of coal cars to
the movement of coal, and has issued
instructions to the lines serving the
Pacific northwest to turn over all
available coal cars to their eastern
connections, and has also advised the
iron and steel districts that coal must
not be loaded for Pacific coast points
or beyond the reach OF the coal mines.
As consequence che Pacific north
west is being drained of all coal cars,
although at the present time there is
an ample supply here to move all OF
the coal that can be produced by our
mines.
1t is quite apparent, however. that
this will not continue II coal cars
which originally reach this territory
loaded with iron and steel articles,
and other open top car commodities,
are prevented from moving to us. At
the present time mines west of the
Cascade mountains are running not to
exceed four and one-half days a week,
or approximately 70 per cent time. 1t
would be greatly to the advantage of
the coal operators and miners if this
time could be increased to full time.
The movement in this state to
change oil burning equipment to coal
burning is rapidly progressing, and it
is estimated that in from three to ten
months a very large percentage Of
the present fuel oil burning industries
such as lighting plants, etc., will be
converted into coal burners and this
will greatly increase the demand for
coal. 1t is, therefore, quite apparent
that while at present we have 100 per
cent, cars and 81 per cent, coal pro-
duction, that unless we take advant-
age Of the situation and store coal for
the winter months, severe shortage
may be anticipated, because it is quite
a different matter to have 100 per
cent. production and rs per cent. cars.
With the shortage existing in the
east it will be impossible for us IL
secure any consideration from the
Interstate Commerce Commission be-
cause the cars will be supplied to the
territory furnishing the coal for what
might be considered the more essen
tial industries.
In other words, unless much of the

borne in mind that at this time streets
and highways are In excellent condi-
ton for local deliveries which couiu

NV idea is that the fuel producers
and dealers should institute an imme-
date campaign of aggressive news

sonal solicitation Of consumers ahd
prospective consumers. l feel conli-
dent that the newspapers will gladly

columns to encourage early purchases

operators and miners will do all in
their power to have ample fuel avail

ing the fuel dealers that in view OF the
fact that consumers usually do not

the time of payment so as to place the

ton.
