Give Mines Preference, Is Orders
From Commerce Commission
To Midwest Railroads.
EXTEND FORMER ORDER
Orders All Outstanding Permits Fof
Use Of Coal Cars For Other Freight
Canceled-Domestic Needs Be-
Iieved Met by Arrangement.

Neutrality-suspicious. to satisfy de.
mands for domestic coal in various
states was taken by the Interstate
Commerce comission in an order re-
curing railroads east Of Montana,
Wyoming. Colorado and New Mexico.
to furnish coal cars to mines in pre-.
ference to any other use.
The present order, the commits.
sion said, would run until further nc
tice, but be relaxed as the situation
warranted.
The commission, also, ordered all
outstanding permits for use of coal
cars for other freight cancelled, but
announced that arrangements to con.
tinue the movement of certain essen.
tials, such as sugar beets to factory,
would be made.
Domestic Needs Satisfied.
Working in conjunction with coal
operators and railroads. a program has
been formulated, the committee said,
which is expected substantially to
meet all domestic coal needs.
1t is planned to transport approx
mately 2,100 cars daily for this pur-
pose in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, East
ern Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee,
Western Pennsylvania and West Vir-
giania.
Attention is also being given to
needs of domestic consumers in other
states, the commission added.
Despite an increase in coal produc.
tion which up TO September 25 exceed
ed that of last year by 51,000,0 900 tons,
the commission said there has not
been a sufficient production of the
sizes of coal for domestic purposes to
satisfy all present demands"
Complaints have been received
from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and
other Western states" the commission
said, and added:
More Cars Needed.
1.-THE increased production has been
consumed in a large part by industries,
by railroads and other public utilities,
by the Northwest and by New England
and by expectation. 1t is imperative
that the production of coal be even
further increased. To accomplish this,
it will be necessary to increase the car
supply for coal.
The existing order for preferential
movement Of 1000 cars of coal daily
for the Northwest was not changed.
viii Benefit Northwest.
The order of the Interstate Com
merce Commission directing that rail-
roads West as well as East of the Mis-
sissippi river may use coal cars only
for shipment of coal will facilitate fuel
movement in the Northwest to meet
emergencies and will release a certain
proportion of cars now being used for
other purposes, railroad officials and
coal dealers of st. Paul said. The
Commission order was taken by sew
eral to be a part of the action prom
Used from the White House when an
appeal for relief from the Northwest
directly to the executive department
was dismissed with the explanation
that the commission would deal with
the situation.

Population of the United States
Within Continental Limits
Is Toe, 683, 108.
GAIN OF 1913 Per CENT
Outlying Possessions To Increase To-
tai by ACKNOWLEDGMENT Po-
puiation Is Placed at 2,3s6,371,
a Gain of is Per Cent.

Washington-The 1920 population OF
continental United States was an
nounced by the census bureau as 1885,
$50, los. This was an increase Of 49,
710,842, or 14.9 per cent since 1910.
This total does not include the popu-
lations Of outlying possessions, which
will be announced as soon as the figures
for Alaska and the military and naval
services abroad are tabulated. 1t is
estimated, however, that those posses
sions have IL, ESQ, 900 inhabitants, so
the total number of people living I'M
der the American flag is, in rough num-
bers, lis, 900, 900.
The figures for continental United
States compare with 91,972,2 66 ten
years ago and 7~5,994,575 twenty years
ago. The increase for the last decade,
however. fell 1926, $40, or 6.1 per
cent, below that of the preceding dec
ade.
Director Rogers of the census bu-
reau, in a formal statement, attributed
this reduction to the almost complete
stoppage of immigration during the
world war, an increase in emigration
during the same period, deaths in the
influenza epidemic of 1917-1S and war
casualties.
Trend to Cities Noted.
The statement noted that the trend
of population from the country to the
city had been greatly accumulated
since 1910. For the first time in the
country's history, it said, more than
half the entire population was now
living in urban territory.
Preliminary tabulations, MI. Rogers
said, showed that 54,S16, 209, or SIS
per cent of the people, were living in
Incorporated places of $500 inhabi-
tants or more, and 50,S66, S99, or 4S.1
per cent. in rural territory.
This situation was clearly reflected
in the figures as to farms in the coun-
try, which also were made public.
These placed the total of farms at
SASS, 1898, an increase of only SO, 496,
or 1.5 per cent, in ten years, as against
an increase of 624,13O, or 10.9 per
cent, during the decade ended in 1910.
Minnesota Gains IS Per Cent.
Minnesota, with a population of
2,3S6,371, which is a gain of Is per
cent in the past ten years, now is the
seventeenth state in the Union, jump
ing from the nineteenth place. Ala
bama and Tennessee were the two
states passed. Minnesota is next to
Iowa with less than 10000 separating
the two.
Mr.. Rogers stated that while these
figures ON the country's population
were preliminary and subject to revi-
sion, the final official population as
transmitted to Congress in December
for apportionment purposes was not
likely to be greatly different, although
II might be slightly larger through the
addition Of population for small Sec
lions claimed not to have been proper
ly canvassed by census enumerators.
Revised figures for a number of
cities and counties are yet to be an
nounced. but the main work of the
1920 census is completed after nine
months of labor.
