Reading Gives It's Side
The Reading Railway issued state
ment early this afternoon over the
signature of Charles II. Ewing, vice
president ip charge of operations. 1t
follows in full:
"The outlaw strike, which has again
manifested itself has been confined
largely to the switching service in Phila
delphia territory. 1t has not extended
beyond Philadelphia except at two or
three points in close proximity of Phila-
delphia. Our information Is that Phila-
delphia conditions are due entirely to
radcalism ~and misrepresentation. A
meeting Of the men Of all the railroads
In Philadelphia yesterday was addressed
by representatives from Chicago and
Jersey City, their object being to enlist
forcing the adjustment Of grievances
affecting Chicago and Jersey City, which
grievances are peculiar to those terri
tories and do not in any way affect Phil
adclphia.
"Another contributing cause is the fact
that organizers of the Chicago Yard
mems Association have been active In
this territory during the last two weeks
in attempting to organize an association
TO be known as the Chicago Tardmen's
Association. The immediate cause given
by our men for leaving the service In
Philadelphia is the failure of the United

on increases in pay at the time the
men expected decision would be
handed down. '...

sr;b,ets OF loans for food purchase are
s,,ile and that only credits sufficiently
,arre to enable business to get on its
feet by the purchase of coal and raw
materials will postpone the complete
breakdown OF Austria.
one of the basic causes of the coun-'
trv's paralysis is lack of coal due to the
failure Of the coal supplying countries
"a live I'D to their agreements. For
This reason Industries lie idle.
Austrla's natural and logical coal
sunply lies in Bohemia and Prussia, or
Unper SiIesia. Under present arrange
rents coal is secured, what there is of
n under agreements between state
Governments and upon arrival here is
distributed by government officials.
The supply is SO small that virtually
all of It is needed for limited railway
oneration, the gas and electric plants
and limited private domestic use.
None remains for industries and no
factories except those producing the
necessities Of life are in constant oper-
alton. For instance, the great FlorLs-
do-f locomotive works, with a capacity
of 100 locomotives a year have been
idle for four weeks while all Europe
is crying for railway motive power. The
demand for freight cars is insistent and
vet the Graz car factory with a poten-
tial capacity of 800 cars a month pro-
duces less than fifty because coal is
not to be had and consequently they
cannot secure wheels. axles and struc-
tural iron for bodies.
Vienna Is surrounded with a for
est Of factory stacks but smoke issues
from few OF them. ThiS has been true
ever since q revolution fifteen months
ago. Manufacturers say that IL coal can
be assured in sufficient quantities they
VIII manage to find raw materials
enough to tart with and slowly build
up credits for more.
Commission after commission has
vainly tried to obtain delivery Of the
coal for which contracts were made
with Czecho-Slovakia. The reason for
this failure is unknown here. One ex-
pert says that unless Austria is allowed
to get coal from the upper Sllesian
fields, whence has always come the
bulk of Austria's supply her population
musS be deported or the country Will
perish under starvation and anarchy.
The solution. he says lies in the hands
OF the powers.
