WASHINGTON. July s.-Widely
divergent opinions as to the nations

terstate Commerce commission Fri
day at its heariig on the advisability
OF modifying its order requiring
preference to be given coal mines
east of the Mississippi in the assign
ment Of open top cars. Some wit
nesses said the country was expert
encing the worst coal shortage in its
history, while others declared with
equal finality that there was nc
shortage.
The commission was asked both
to modify its order. originally issued
for a 80 day period ending July q,

nopoly on cars 10 the coal mines,

Agents OF public utilities scattered
throughout the eastern half Of the
country also asked that preferential
treatment be given their companies

that coal shortage existed was the
