LAYING in Conl Early

ONE of the most difficult Of fuel problems
~ in this country has been 10 induce the
larger coal consumers to buy their years
supply in a season when mining was simple
and delivery was easy. Coal associations.
the government and other interests have
pleaded with the users Of coal for years 10
buy early, to I'LL their bins during the spring
and summer and leave the winter supply
free to those consumers who. for physical
reasons. could not store more than IL mod
crate amount of fuel.
Senator 'relinghuysen, chairman OF tho
Senate committee on coal, has studied this
problem from all its angles. He has carried
on extensive inquiries into the business and
has come to the conclusion that consumers
must be induced to lay in the coal stocks
when deliveries can be most expeditiously
effected; otherwise the country will 70
through each succeeding winter with coal
shortages and industrial interests will sns-
tain The most serious losses in production.
In an EFFORT to persuade the country that
spring and summer is the time OF the year
to buy coal. Senator Frelinghuysen has in
troduced a bill in the Senate establishing a
preferential railroad rate on coal shipped
during the summer months. My BILL the
Senator says. will provide that the rail-
roads shall publish their coal tariffs with
the Interstate Commerce Commission as at
present, but during the summer months the
rates shall be Is per cent lower than the
tariffs and in the winter months it shall be
10 per cent higher. In other words, the
man who lays in his coal during the summer
will get 80 per cent cheaper transportation
rates than the man who waits until wintar
TO buy his fuel. The difference should re-
suit i'll n heavy demand during the summer
season, spreading distribution over the en-
tire year. instead OF producing an excessive
demand in the winter. My bill would also
prohibit railroads from communicating coal
shipped over their lines, destined to private
consumers"
This bill will find a favorable response
from tho country generally. The railroads
VIII oppose il: first, because some Of them
will feel that their revenue will be cut by
the preferential rate. and, second, because
they will be deprived OF the commander
ing privilege, but railroad interests have no
right 10 stand in the path Of a piece OF
legislation designed to benefit the country as
q whole.
