ASK LONGER HOURS
TO UNLOAD FREIGHT
Merchants Seek Permission to
Work on Cars From 7
A. N. to 6 P. N.

washington merchants have noti-
ned the Board OF Trade that II the
railroads would help out in the mat
ter of car congestion. the situation
would be relieved. Many OF them
have said that the railroads only
allow the unloading OF cars between
the hours of s o'clock In the morning
and o'clock in the evening. They
want the hours changed to. from 7
o'clock to six in the evening. This
would give them two hours more In
which to unload freight and they say
1t would speedily reduce the conges-
tion.
Another Washington merchant In
formed the Board OF Trade that one
OF the things leading to the conges-
ton was the fact that the freight
cars were tied up enroute to Wash
ington and that in many cases where
they expected two cars at intervals
OF a week apart, both cars have come
in the same day. and that they were
not prepared to unload twice the num-
Der Of cars they had planned for

board several days ago that three
cars were lying in the yards with
freight consigned to the District gov
ernment. When informed by Secre-
tary Connor, OF the Board of Trade.

the District officials said that they
did not know Of any freight coming

Secretary Connor said today that

al look for a sharp decline In coal
prices about November 1, because OF
the early buying OF coal by both
householders and manufacturing
plants throughout the country this
year" George Cushing, general man
ager OF the American Wholesale Coal
Dealers Association, said today.
''The wholesale coal dealers have
been expecting a marked decline for
several months. 1t has been held on
because OF the book orders on the
lists of operators and the sharp com
petition for coal. Cancellation OF
orders by dealers who have over
ordered and who have not fully OBJ
served the early purchasing OF coal,
will AFFECT the market about Novem-
ber l." Cushing declared.
Cushing said the wholesalers have
not been boosting prices except to NIL
urgent orders when they were forced
to raise their bids at the mines to
get immediate delivery of coal. In
some isolated cases, he said, individual
dealers might have increased prices
as have some operators, but in gen
eral the high prices have prevailed
because Of the market aspect.
The coal price decline may be as
much as So ger ton. Gushing declared.
"It would be hard to estimate how
much the price will drop, but the
operators are making large profits.
Mines are being operated which could
not be operated under normal condi-
tions," Cushing declared. ''There is

AMBER FORMED BENEATH SEA
Natural Resin of Pines Turned Into

The worlds supply of amber. that

Of famous mine run out under the
Baltic and the m,ners are actually
working under water. Ages ago the
country was land of pine forests
which the ocean overwhelmed, the
pine trees vanished beneath the sur
face of the sea, and then, century by
century. the wood became fOssillzcd
and the natural resin ct the pines was
turned into amber. Millions Of years
we're needed TO transform the resin
into amber, and the search for amber
has developed romantic ami picturesque
episodes like those that have become
part and parcel Of the story of gold
and diamonds. An amber mine. how
ever, Is not necessarily Under water.
and there Is an open-air mine at Palm
