COAL QUESTION
, COMES UP AGAIN
Definite Steps to Be Taken for
Relief Tomorrow.

Superintendents of coal-carrying rail-
roads of Indiana and representatives of
several GOAL trades associations will meet
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock with the
public service commission for a second
conference regarding the coal and coal
car shortage in Indiana.
A similar confereSSe was held Monday,
May 81, in the roomsApf the public serv-
ice commission, attended, by about TWEEN
tyfve, representing the state coal opera
tors and railroads.
At this time the advisability of the
purchase of coal cars and mine by
the state. to enable the purchasing COM
mittee to furnish coal to the various
state institutions without further trou-
BILE was discussed, and deemed inadvis-
able.
Further discussion of this question will
come up at tomorrow's meeting. and it
is hoped by the members of the com
mission that a definite policy will be
outlined, since it is understood that pri-
critics and car purchasing will avail
nothing that will tend to relieve the coal
situation in this state.
Commissioner John W. McCardle, who
has been making an exhaustive study of
the states coal situation, stated this
morning that no relief mas as yet been
noted in the coal car shortage.
THE order to move cars east from the
territory west of the Mississippi river,
apparently has had little effect on the coal
situation in Indiana said Mr.. McCardle
Word reaching the commission re-
Gently is to the effect there has been no
appreciable relief in the car shortage, and
our daily reports from the mining terri
tory indicate that many mines are idle"
According to a report to the commits
sion. relative to the number of Indiana
mines idle on May 20, there were forty
eight mines without production at that
time in the Clinton Terre Haute-Brazil,
Sullivan Linton and the Knox county
districts.
Members of the commission are op.i-
mistjc as to the results Of the second con-
ference to be held between the operators
and the heads of the coal carrying rail-
reasmsnd feel that relief is in sight.
