them TO obtain necessary rolling stock.

And yet If the railroads increase their
rates there is howl from the very

as ehe coal operators may deem desir-
aoie, with the osteusible view of in
e1easing the movement of shipments.
Object to Giving Cars for Coal
~ ~ understood that leaders of other
industries object strenuously to turn
ing over special cars to the coal trade
on the ground that this nterferes se-
s.oosiy wisa business in genersl and
causes heavy difficulties to many un-
terprises. 1t is this point which the
senate committee is trying to clear up.
1roverman told Senator Calder that
the average daily coal receipts bv the
dcck companies in the Northwest up TO
June 20 was only l4,l93 tons. gThe nor
NAL daily receipt of coal, he said, is
5S,905 tons.
he said that the whole crux of the
coal situation is in the car shortage
and charged that while the railroads
arc now running in the coal trade SO
per, cent OF the cars they ran at their
peak period the standard mines of the
country arc getting only 35 per cent of
'neir normal car facilities. He OK
planned this by saying that the coal
emergency has brought into operation
many mines which had been abandoned
Virtually because of the high expense
OF operation. These mines he said.
are worked with the aid OF primitive
teams and wheelbarrow, and by offer
ing fancy prices for cars they have
been able to obtain the greater part
OF those available. They take three
days in loading a ear. whereas a stand
ard mine will accomplish the same
thing In three hours. Groverman said
He demanded that the railroads be
compelled to divert their available car
supply to the standard mines.
Countrys Shortage
We are now short 25,0oo,OoO tons
of COAL said Groverman. This short
age is growing at the rate of 100000
tons month. What is going to hap
pen in December, when production
slows down? | tell you we arc facing
a crisis and we will have to meet it as
such. This is not subject for n six
months conference. If the Germans
were going to land in New York YOU
would not sit in Chicago and won
der how to get our men over to New

there. We must do the same thing in
this coal crisis.
Let us not discuss side issues. but

Groverman opposed a fat embargo
on coal. saying that there was enough
coal IN the country to supply the needs
Of both the domestic and export trade
II the cars could be obtained. He said
this despite the fact brought out at the
hearing that half of the shipments
which recently have reached the North
west, amounting to 100000 tons of
coal, have been reconsigned to Canada,
from where most of it has been cx-
ported to Europe.
Groverman refused to see any con-
tradiction between his statements that
there was enough coal in the country
to I'LL the needs of both America and
Europe and that the mines of this
country are now worked on the aver
age not more than two days a week
because of car shortage.
McGee also told the committee that
the problem is one of car shortage. He
attributes the car shortage to inef-
ticiency on the part of the railroads.
Ihc railroad men will not admit they
are not 100 per cent efficient" said
McGee, and asserted that virtually the
FiSoVNe Sdi SHVItdSt W3S existent IN
1916, before the United States entered
the war or had taken over the railroads.
Plenty of Coal Here
"All the coal we need is in the
earth said MCGEE, "and we have the
necessary force and facilities to mine
it. The whole trouble is in the inabil-
lty of the railroads to supply the nee
essary cars. This lack of cars fnsor-
ganizes production by putting thou
sands of miners out of work At pres
ent there is no shortage of btuminous
coal at the mines. AS far as the dock
ing and boat facilities on the Great
Lakes are concerned, they are more
than ample to handle the necessary
supply. The railroads in the North
west badly lack coal. They depend en-
tirely upon the docks for their fuel,
ana The docks are practically empty"
McGee approved the car assignment
order and said that similar order is
now being prepared with regard to
New England He urged a stringent
embargo on coal exports. 1--WE ought
to look after the United States first"
he said The coal operators, he de-
olared, are anxious to fill all contracts
and are doing so to the entire extent
of their car facilities.
II believe the coal assignment order
will be great relief he continued.
"and will be executed in all GOOD faith
by the coal operators The order
should have been issued long ago"

Apparel

Manufacturers and jobbers of wo-
mems apparel, who were anticipating
a post-Eastcr rush of business last
week, were disappointed. Activity in
spring garments in wholesale circles
is still at a low ebb and promises to
continue SO until the season is finished
in another month or SO, according to
conservative manufacturers. Some of
the smaller manufacturers have cut
their prices to stimulate business and
the retailers have taken advantage of
this to pick up odd lots of merchandise
for reduction" sales.
Retail business in women's apparel
for spring is coming slowly, largely
because of the unreasonable weather,
it is believed. At the same time re-
tailers insist that resistance to high
prices is strong. Where reduction
sales are held, the response is good,
retailers assert, thus proving the con-
tention that women are waiting for
lower prices.
Early reports from mems clothing
statesmen now on the. road with fall
samples are optimistic. They are
sending in fair orders, at prices higher
than those quoted last season. Quanti-
ties, however, are smaller, according
to reports. Apparently the retailers
are willing to take chance on getting
all the merchadise they will require
later on, rather than place. large orders
for a full seasons quota of apparel
row.

Due to Low Paw
Governments Policy To-

Quit a Month; Breakdown
of Mail Service Predicted

An average of 100 designations a
month since January has taken place
among local civil service employees
of the Postoffice Department because
OF low pay and the governments hiring
of temporary help at rate of COM
pensation higher than that received by
the regular workers, it was learned
yesterday.
Officials of the Postal Clerks Union
of New York City predicted complete
breakdown of the mail service unless
drastic remedies are applied, both az
regards pay and the Postmaster Gen.
erals methods Of counteracting the
wholesale resignation Of qualified
workers in the service.
There are approximately 10000
clerks, carriers and other mail workers
in the local postoffice. The minimum
pay is $1,000 and the maximum $1,650
for those in regular service. About
half of this number are Temporary"
workers, and the rate of pay for them
averages go cents an hour, against 81
cents for the experienced regular en-
ployee. These Temporary" workers, it
was declared, are selected without pre-
vious determination of individual fit
ness and frequently placed in positions
ranking higher than those held by
civil service employees having several
years service to their credit.
The Postmaster General is assailed
for what officials of the local union call
IAN inexcusable policy in failing to
recommend salary increases for the
"regulars" and to set a higher stand
ard in the hiring Of temporary help.

Manufacturing jewellers report, Cor
the first time in consirdeable period,
that they are receiving sufficient sup
plies of platinum to meet the greater
part of their needs. Large amounts
were purchased throughout the week

however, are still small and jewelers.
are having considerable difficulty in
receiving stocks of this precious metal
from the rcfiners. Even the largest
dealers say that they have none for
sale and refuse to quote a. price.
Cabled inquiries to Europe revealed
the same conditions there. What little
ididium there is in this country is be-
ing used by refiners for hardening
platinum, so there is little hope of the
jewelry trarde getting supplies for
some months unless something unfore-
seen happens.
Watch manufacturers report more
favorable labor outlook in their fac
tories. Workmen are returning to the
fold in large numbers and as a re-
suit production is better than for
some time past. Several of the large
American watch manufacturing con-
Germs are receiving inquiries from for
eign buyers in regard to export trade,
but these companies are dubious about
filling. these orders for some time, as
their factories have enough domestic
business on hand to keep them going

Works Association
Aims to Reorganize
AuU. S. Machinery
Investigation of Government
Methods Planned in Eff
fort to Eliminate Waste
in Every Department

Adolph Lewisohn, chairman of the
New York committee of the National
Public Works Department Associa-
tion, announced last night that the
organization, which initiated the move
to transform the Department of the In
terror, now aims to reorganize. sweep
ingly the entire executive machinery
OF the United States.
Among those who have recently
Joined. the New York committee are
T. Coleman du Pont, A. Barton Hep
burn, H. Hobart Porter, Alfred E.
Marlng, Henry R: Towne, John J.
Pulleyn, Edwin p. Maynard and George
Gordon Battle.
The committee issued the following
statement last night:
1.-THE proposal to create a national
department of public works embodies
a principle which should be applied to
the whole administrative machinery of
the government. 1t is no longer the
purpose of those who. are in charge of
this movement to confine their aims
to the Department of the Interior. al
though this still is the immediate OBJ
Jectlve, but to bring about such an in
vestigatlon of government methods
as will result in the elimination of
waste in every department at Washing
ton.
"Thc resolutions introduced in the
United States Senate by Mr.. Smoot and
his comment thereon reflect the
broad purpose of the National Public
Works Department Association.
"ln seeking to coordinate the public
works functions of the government by
making over the Interior Department
this association has in mind the crea
tion of at least one department that
will be operated along business lines.
The whole structure of modern industry
IS based on functionalized departments.
The Federal departments are not func-
tionalized.
'Jn the interest of lower taxes and
national economy in general a reorgani-
zatlon of the business methods of the
Federal government is necessity. The
work of the National Public Works De-
pFartment Association, shaped along
lines marked out by Franklin X. Lanes
farewell message to President Wilson
IS the first step in that reorganization" !"
