GOVERNOR DEMANDS
COAL FOR KENTUCKY
Legal Action to Force l. C. c. to Mod
ify Priority Rule Is Threatened
By Governor.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. "a. Unless
the Interstate Commerce Comission
orders are modified, so that coal can
be supplied by Kentucky mines for
Kentucky household use. Governor
Morrow, after conference with At
torney- General Charles l. Dawson, to-
day wired the Commission that he pro-
poses ito resist with every legal means
a continuance of this intolerable con-
dition."
The message referred specifically to
the Cumberland Valley Division of the
Louisville & Nashville, taking in the
Harlan-Bell coal fields. Coal yards in
Kentucky practically are empty with
winter approaching, according to in
formation given Governor Morrow, and
priority orders of the Commission in
favor of public utilities outside the
state of Kentucky are using all avail
able coal cars, so that none can be
shipped to Kentucky local dealers.
In fact, the priority orders exceed
the car supply and the Louisville &
Nashville few days ago was $50 cars
behind their demand, it is said. The
consequence is felt in the coal field as
well as among domestic consumers;
for the mines having priority orders
can run only enough to fill the cars
assigned them and then must shut
down, while mines, to which no such
cars have been assigned, cannot oper-
ate at all. ~
