While there is said to be plenty of
coal at the mines, Washington dealers
are insistent in their declarations that
they are unable to procure this coal
The Interstate Commerce Commission
will investigate all phases of the Sit

and who is to blame.
The committee. not content with
submitting its data to the Interstate

from all parts of the country reports
on the conditions in other cities. II
will be determined from these reports
whether Washington's case is isolated

DELAYS EXPLAINED
IN UNLOADING CARS

Complaints are still being received
oy the Washington Board Of Trade in
regard to the inaccuracy of the Off
dealing with merchants in this city
who. it is alleged. have not unloaded
their freight cars promptly.
Letters have been received by the
board stating that merchants either
have not been notified that their cars
were placed or that the cars alleged
to be standing loaded had in reality
been unloaded. In one case a local
man was notified that his car was
placed He is manufacturer of bread.
Cannot Use Iron for Flour.
On arriving at the yards to unload
his carload of -four he found that, IN
stead he had a carload of pig iron,
which. he stated. was not of any great
value in the making of bread.
In another case. where cement was
the cargo. the cement had to be
bageed before it could be unloaded.
This operation took about three days
per car, and the consignee could not
POSSIBLY accomplish this operation in
the required forty eight hours.
Another point that the merchants
of Washington complain of is that the
Yards are open only from o'clock in
The morning until 5 in the afternoon.
II has been found that in most in
Stances work could be started earlier
than s and continued until after
o'clock. Efforts are now being made
to have the time extended. especially
to take care of the emergency.
Say Yards Close Too Early.
1t is also pointed out that at )
O'Clock each car. whether it has been
entirely unloaded or not. is sealed
and no more work can be done on it,
Demurrage charges for full car are
then paid on il for another day. If
the hours were extended. merchants
claim, they could not only save the
but release the car sooner.
The Board of Trade committee
which was appointed by Charles w.
Darr. chairman of the public utilities
in the meantime is work
ing to get the proper cooperation be-
tween the merchants and the rail-
roads. The work is progressing sat
isfactorily, it is stated.

Harding Calls Railway
Act Greatest Forward
Step in Transportation

GALLON, Ohio. August 21.-Unqual-
fled appreciation of the Cummins-
Esch railway reorganization act was
voiced by Senator Harding today in d
speech here to d group of railway en-
ploycs.
Saying he was aware that some of

the greatest forward step in all the
history of railway legislation"

was in the railway bill as id passed
the Senate, but he asserted that he
stood for policy that would make
continuity of service government
guarantee. and said he also wanted to
see railwaymen given the best of
treatment by the government and by
the American people
