Coolidge Pleads
tor Adequate Supply
Soft Coal for n. F..

Boston. Sept. "A telegram asking
that the necessities of New F,ro-
iahd IN the matter of coal supply"
be put above those of foreign coun-
tres was sent by Gov. Coolidge tn
the Interstate Commerce Commission
late today. The telegram saws that
the commission suspended its order
giving priority 10 New England in
coal shipments without any apportun-
ity for the New England Coal Conn
mlttee to be heard, as the commits
sion's telegram did not reach the COM
mfttee members until the time set for
a hearing.
THE soft coal situation in New
England" the telegram continues. lis
still very serious, shipments being
much below the average of previous
years. On Monday the Boston and
Maine railroad was compelled to en-
barge coal again. We can find no
accumulation of coal at the New Eng
land shipping points. with the possible
exception of Hampton Roads, and at
Philadelphia and at Baltimore there
was an excess of beats.
The first three weeks in August
overseas exports ran at the rate of
100000 tons per month, a new high
record. This pressure for export will
probably increase. We again ask that
the necessities of New England be put
above those of foreign countries. For
this purpose l know of no remedy OK
