COAL COUCINC
COST MILLIONS
Political and Financial Evils of
Country Blamed on Lax
ity at Washington.
(ey Associates Press.)

New York, Oct. 14.-Coal proflteering
participated in by operators and rail-
roads cost the people of the country
at least S350,000000 during the last
year, United States Senator VIM NJ.
Calder, chairman Of the senate hous-
ing committee. declared here today at
@ luncheon of the Arkwright club.
Many of the political and financial
evils which now confront the coun-
try, he added, are due to laxity on the
part Of the national administration.
The present housing shortage
throughout the country. he said was
reflected in the ''woeful mismanage-
ment' on the part Of someone in au-
thority in Washington In handling Of
the railroad situation. The national
administration in this respect. he said,
had failed lamentably."
Decreased transportation OF build
ing materials. together with increased
cost of transportation under govern
ment management of the railroads,
was a large factor in causing the acute
housing situation throughout the coun-
try, he declared
Only one tenth the number Of homes
were built in 1919, and only one -twen-
tieth the number during this year as
compared with 1916, he added. The
rigid rent laws recently enacted by
the New York legislature also dis
couraged home building in this state.
he said.
Senator Calder criticised the United
States shipping board for construct
ing so many wooden ships against the
protest of shipping experts and charg-
ad that +ba hoard had tseaterpdff tn The
lumber interests Of the south and
west. He asserted many of the ships
which We're built at a cost of 100000
recently were sold for as little as
s25. 900.

Return of Railroads FOrerunner
of Federal Control of
Steel and Coal.
WANT SHIPS RELEASED
Believe Government Operation
Has Worked Against Re-
turn Carg0eS.
fRy AsaocIated Press.l

New York, Oct. 14.-Return of the
railroads to government operation
would be but the forerunner of federal
control of fundamental sources of pro-
ducsion, such as steel, coal and copper,
declared Alba B. Johnson, of Philadel-
phia, president of the Railroad Busi-
ness association, in an address here to-
night at a banquet of the American
Manufacturers Export association.
"The national welfare requires us
to stabilize the railroad situation said
Mr.. johnson, because we are in a
conflict to preserve the principle of
individual ownership of property and
of individual oportunity The railways
are the first trench
The speaker said his address could
be summed up in golden text, as fol-
lows:
Transportation is a business. 1t is
the business of business men to put
the transportation business on a busi-
ness basis. Let us get business with a
business program for transportation"
British monopoly contracts with
Alexandria cotton uferchants were
submitted and signed five months ear
lier this year than last, because of the
imminence OF Egyptian cotton carrying
competition from America" w. A.
Hartman, president of the American
Ship Commerce Corporation, declared
in an address to the convention.
I'VE have been operating the ser-
vice to Alexandria for is months. 1t
has been impossible for US to obtain
single pound OF Egyptian cotton 70
our bottoms, although the United
States consumes about a third of the
Egyptian crop" Mr.. Hartman said.
Advantages which American
shipping must overcome include:
shortage of competent personel to
man ships and handle shipping busi-
ness: ownership of a large proportion
of American tonnage by the United
states Shipping Board; excessive cost
of operation OF vessels under the
American flag, and a lack of defi-
mite cooperation between American
importers and exporters and American
shipping interests.
The shipment of the entire crop, Mr..
Hartman explained, is controlled by
British conference in which a number
of British ship owners participated.
The conference makes the yearly con-
tract with the Alexandria merchants
he said, by which they agree TO sell
cotton only, c. l. f., the principal mar
kets being Liverpool and Boston. The
merchants, Mr.. Hartman asserted,
agree to route all shipments over the
conference lines and the rate is fixed
for the season.
I'VE would have been willing and
glad" he added, ITO carry this cotton
at below the conference rate, but to-
day our hands are tied and the Ameri-
can consumer is paying toll to the
British ship owners"
1t is the intention, he said, to OBJ
tain. IL possible. direct service to the
American consumer.

Washington. Oct. 14-Agricultural
interests carried their fight for anne
horation of credit conditions today to
Secretary Houston, of the treasury de-
partment. They asked for rehabili
tation of the war finance corporation
to foster exports to Europe and were
told by the secretary that it was not
in line with good business for the
government to extend further credits
to Europe which would be the result
if the request was granted.

as alarming" and insisted that one
of the main proposals of the federal
reserve law was to furnish elasticity

Smith, who was again the spokes-
man said in summing up the case for.
the producers. Give the agricul-
tllral interests lower rate of dis
count in this distressing time than
you do anybody else"
There was a distinct feeling of op-
timism among the delegates when
they left the conference with the
board, although no action was taken
by it.
The delegates emphasized their
feeling at both conferences that il
they could secure some agency for
financing the credits of Europe and
increase the sale of exports. their
plight would be largely relieved

cultural conference, concluded today
