\. C. C. PROMISES COAL
AID FOR NEW YORK CITY
Request for Priority Order
Held Under Advisen,enf.

Edward p. Doyle. representing the
New York Realty Board and several
other New York city organizations. got
assurances to-day that the Interstate
Commerce Commission will give any
necessary assistance to keep New York
supplied with coal.
Mr.. Doyle appeared as chairman OF a
joint committee investigating the New
York coal supply for the advisory coun-
ell OF realty owners. the Building Man.
ayers Association. the Department Of
Health and the Realty Investors of New
York city. He was not prepared to say
that the shortage Of either anthracite
or pituminous coal was the result OF
car shortage or lack Of transportation,
however. and he was told the commits
sion could do nothing except on such
showing.
Representatives Of the Bureau Of Ser
vice Of the commission told Mr.. Doyle
that commission reports showed the
coal situation better and car supply
easier.
Mr. Doyle filed a request for priority
of coal shipment to New York city and
it was taken under advisement to await
a detailed report. Mr.. Doyle said he
was pursuing an investigation into
causes of q shortage that was acute
and serious. He outlined the landlord
law Of New York, which fixes a PEN
atty upon building owners and opera
tors for failing to keep offices and
homes at proper temperature and with
"A sufficient unDlV of hot wafer
Members OF the commission suggested
to Mr.. Doyle that he confer with the
Bureau in Philadelphia and
suggest the assignment of sufficient
tonnage by the operators to meet the
need for hard coal. The commission.
1t was stated, would be able to assure
the movement of all consignments.

Special Despatch to THE New yonx HrxAIp
New York Herald Bureau
Washington, ID. c.. Nov. 4.
sweeping Investigation into the alle-
cations that graft has been paid to rail-
road employees by shippers for preferred
treatment In the summer and fall in the
distribution Of box and open top freight
cars and for the preferred movement OF
freight In transit was launched here to-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission II the evidence is deemed suf-
fictent the matter will be turned over 20
the Department Of Justice.
Charges recently made by Gibbs l..
Baker. attorney for the Wholesale Coal
Dealers In New York city, concerning
graft paid to the employees of the rail-
roads and the preferred movement Of
cars in transit were primarily respon-
sible for the Commission taking its ac-
ton.
The inquiry is aimed also at the re-
ports that forged permits have been
used for the priority movement of coal
in transit and that the figures of the
permits have been raised by adding
ciphers and changing numerals to a
higher figure, which resulted in the
movement of a large number Of cars
under the permits than was contem-
plated when they were issued by the Of
ficials Of .ae railroads.
The Department OF Justice has large
amount of evidence which tends TO show
corruption of employees Of the railroads,
bumpers at the leading piers and ware
houses at tidewater. and inspectors and
clerks charged with supervising permits
after their issue.
This information points to the pos
sible existence of a gigantic system of
graft perneating some of the largest
railroad systems in the Eastern States
and involving several hundreds Of rail-
road workers. In the list, II Is said, are
yardmasters. terminal superintendents.
freight train conductors. freight agents
and shipping clerks. 1t was asserted.
however that II has not been found
that any of the officials OF the railroads
are involved.
The Investigation has brought to light
information that leads to the belief that
been in vogue since the early stages
Of the war.
Benefits derived by coal spectators
and brokers this year from the graft
scheme have resulted IN the reaping OF
millions Of dollars OF profit in the sale
of coal at points where shortages ex-
listed. The scheme has also been used
to create areificial shortages OF fuel in
several Eastern cities. II Is intirnated,
among them New York city.
Officials of the railroads, together with
shippers. may be called before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. In some
instances shippers have Informed the
commission that they wecc approached
by railroad employees and asked to
make purchases OF preferred dlstribu-
ton of cars and priority movement" for
their shipments. tt
A typical instance relates to a large
Eastern manufacturer, For moro than
