NEW ENGLAND COAL

How serious the coal situation
throughout New England is at pre-
sent and how serious Governor
Coolidge thinks it will be this com
ing win er may be seen from the
calling, by the Massachusetts execu
tive, of meeting of all the
governors of New England to confer
with the interstate Commerce Com
mission in Washington, to discuss
the best means of combating the
situation which menaces New Eng
land homes and industries, particu

The chief cause at present for the
lack Of coal is the 81 .uation resulting
/ from the freight tie-ups and congestion
which followed the recent unauthori
lied strike of the 'insurgent" rail
road men. The department of justice,
working in conjunction with The inter
state commerce is now undertaking to
clear the tracks and distribute the
freight cars as much as possible to
hose sections of the country where
! the cars are most needed This will
take time, OF course but It is step
in the right direction and ought to

freight problem which now confronts
The country and which is holding up
much Of the needed coal in New Eng
land.
This will undoubtedly take up much
of the conferences time and another
matter which Will be discussed will be

until the country's own needs have
been attended TO- 1t is hoped that it
may be decided to take just such ac-
