SHORTAGE OF CARS.
The part played by. the small. spec

open-top equipment which is badly
needed to overcome the shortage in
cars in the great bituminous produc-
ing fields. is pointed out by Jonas
Waffle, secretary of the Indiana Coal
Trade Association. An effort to bring
about drastic regulation by the In
terstate Commerce Commission OF the
distribution of equipment to these
wildcat" mines has been launched by
operators in the National Coal Asso-
citation, who say that they have tied
I'D hundreds of cars needed to relieve
the actue coal shortages in the North
west. New England, and other points.
Ordinarily, as Mr.. Waffle points
out, the wagon" mine, located at a
considerable distance from "A railroad
track, sells coal only in the immediate
vicinity of the mine. During coal
emergencies such as the one through
which the country has passed in the
last four months, hundreds of other
wagon" mines, owned by spectators,
spring into existence, not only taking
an apprecisble supply OF cars. which
are held for days at their mines. but
