For handling merchandise, coal and
ashes, electric elevators lift the sub
way cars from the tunnel level to
stores and Office buildings. where they
are emptied and refilled, and then
lowered again to the tracks below.
The subway tracks underlay every
street in the loop district, covering a

Four main receiving stations outside

Every railroad station but one has

COAL, ASHES, FREIGHT
IS SUPPLIED CHICAGO
BY SUBWAY SYSTEM
tRy Associated Press,

CHICAGO. Dec. 13.-Forty feet
undergroupd Chicago has one OF the
most unique subway systems in the
world. Devoted entlrely to the haul
ing OF freight, it keeps the longest
ed loop district comparatively free of
heavy traffic vehicles. Ofacials of the
tunnel company estimate more than
5000 trucks would have to pass
through loop streets dialy to duplicate
the work done by the subway.
Over So miles Of narrow gauge
track, 1872 electric locomotives and
1000 freight cars hauled 100000
tons OF merchandise and 100000 tons
OF coal last year.
Scores OF downtown Office build
ings and stores receive their freight
from the railroad depots via the SUBJ
way. Their coal comes by the same
route, and at night the ashes are
hauled away through the underground
tunnels, to be dumped on the lake
front, where acres of land are reclaim
ed yearly. The ground on which the
great new Field Museum, at the south
end Of Grant Park, is built, was a
few years ago part of the lake. The
tunnel company filled it in with
ashes.

Two Women, Man and
Drugs Seized in Raid
Detectives Batter Down Door to
Apartment With AK When
Denied Admission


Detectives Of Inspector McDonald's
staff early yesterday morning raped
gently on the door Of an ap54tment on
the sixth floor Of house in Division
Street.
Who's there7" some ono from the
inside asked.
1.-THE police" answered one Of the
detectives.
"Ws1l, you can't come in without a
search warrant"
But instead Of going after a search
warrant the officers went after an ak,
with which they proceeded to batter
down the door. They left the apart
ment few minutes later and took
with them three persons, who said they
were Fannie Collins, twenty-seven;
Rose Martin, twenty-seven; John Lento,
twenty-four, and morphine, opium and
other drugs valued at about $4,000.
Arraigned yesterday before Magis-
trate Silberman in Essex Market court,
the defendants were charged with hav-
ing narcotics in their possession. Rose
Martin, an alleged second offender, was
held in $4,000 bail. The bond of the
others was fixed at $500 each.
The detectives said when they
in which the man and two women were
found they saw one of the women using
hypodermic needle; the other snuffing
white powder and the man smoking a
pipe resembling the kind used in smok-
ing opium.
The women were clad in expensive
silks. Rose Martin, according to the
police, was arrested in an opium raid
in Allen Street last week.

Mine Operators
Oppose Increase
And Closed Shop
Commission Denies Work
ers Right of Presenting
Exhibits Tending to Prove
Charges of Exploitation

SCRANTON, Pa. July 13.--Admitting
the public interest in the question Of
monopolistic control and profiteering
and their vital Importance to public
welfare, the Anthracite Mine Commits
sion ruled to-day that nevertheless it
was without jurisdiction to admit ex-
nlbits offered by the mine workers
tending to prove charges that the an
tnracite industry was being exploited
at the expense of the employees and
the public. The decision says:
The commission is of the opinion
that the seven exhibits offer no con-
tribution to the solution of the issues
pending and will not be admitted as
part of the evidence in the case.'
After the decision, district presi-
dents John T. Dempsey and Thomas
Kennedy of the Miners Union, pre-
sented additional evidence relative to
wage raises of mine, workers and in
creased cost of living in the anthracite
field.
Then came the answer of the opera
tors, in which they declared their OPP
position to practically every demand
OF the mine workers, including those
for increased wages and the closed
shop.
Adherence to the fundamental prin-
clples of collective bargaining as laid
down by President Roosevelt's anthra-
cite strike commission of 1902. and re-
affirmation of every mans right to work
without reference to membership or
non-membership in labor organiza-
ton, were insisted upon by the opera
tors.
Figures were presented to show that,
under the present wage scale, the an
nual earnings of anthracite mine work
ers have more than kept pace with the
increase in the cost of living
Payroll figures covering 1882 en-
ployees of mine companies producing
about rs per cent of the total anthra-

Days Coal Receipts Here
Break 4 Mouths Record
Arrirals Total 745 Cars, as
Against Average Of 500 Fol-
iOsCing EMBARGO. on Exports

Coal receipts in New York yesterday
were tae highest of any day in the last
four months. 1t was announced at the
office of the Tidewater Coal Exchange
that more than $4,000 tons reached
New York within twenty-four hours
The coal arrived in 745 cars, 456 Of
which were unlcaded Immediately.
The normal shipments reaching New
York in the four months have been in
the neighborhood of 500 cars day
The striking increase yesterday was
explained by officials at the Coal Ex-
change as being the nrsJ tangible eff
feet Of the Federal embargo on ex-
ports.
The officials declared that there Yves
shipments may be expected to increase
from now on.
The coal that came yesterday was
distributed among public utilities, hos
pitfalls and other institutions having
priority claims. Some went to private
dealers.
That President Wilson himself is
taking direct interest in the serious
coal shortage problem affecting New
York and many other Atlantic coast in
dustrial cities was revealed yesterday
in telegram sent to Governor Hol-
comb of Connecticut by Secretary Tum-
ulty, in which Mr.. Tumulty said that
"the coal situation is having earnest
attention" Mr.. Tumulty added: eve
hope satisfactory situation will soon
be reached"
The Wholesale Coal Trade Associa-
ton of New York, in statement issued
yesterday from its Office, at 80 West
Street, charged that one of the worst
evils in the present crisis is the abuse
of the so-called assigned car order by
the railroads. The association charged
that the roads are using the assigned
car order as a club to force the mine
operators to furnish them with coal at
prices which in some cases are below
the actual cost Of production.
Denial of the associations charge
was made by officials of various coal
carrying railroads last night.
A. j. Miller, chairman of the Car Ser
vice Board, said he knew nothing of
the alleged abuse.
"The railroads are in desperate
shape for engine fuel" said Mr.. Miller,
and are doing all they can to build up
their supply When they don't have
sufficient fuel to operate they can go
so far as to confiscate the coal in tran
sit on their lines. So far as abusing
the car order is concerned, l don't be-
lievea it's true. l had not heard any
such complaint before

copy of the complaint at so Broad
Street yesterday in suit for $4,000
brought by his former wife, Mrs. H. P.
Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson alleges that for nine
months her husband had failed to pay
her $1,000 monthly under the provi-
sions of the agreement entered into
between them while they were living
apart and before she obtained q
divorce. Last year Mrs. Wilson sued
Mr. Wilson for more than $4,000, but
the defendant won on trial before a
jury. The case was settled out of
court before the Appellate Court finally
passed upon it.

listing shortage of coal in the United
States is due entirely to failure on
the part of the railroads to provide
cars for it's movement.
"The operators committee is piv;no
also attention to the emergency re-.
qulrements of New York, PHILADELPHIA
and other large Eastern cities. whose
fuel supply for public utilities is re-
ported to be critical.
Plan of Relief Formulated
"As result of conferences with oper-
ators who have contracts for the SUP
ply of bituminous coal to those parts
OF the country which are most seri-
ously affected by the present shortage
the committee will be in a position to
present to the railroad executives at
the Joint meeting car supply which
Will give prompt and permanent re-
lief"
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission issued an order extend
ing the life of the order Civ
ing priority to the movement of cars
to the mines to sixty days. The orig
inal order was to be in effect thirty
days. The order also gives railroads
the privilege of embargoing persons
who receive coal and who fail to I'M
load it within twenty-four hours.
Public utilities, including electric
railways, power and light plants, gas
plants, ice plants, hospitals, schools and
other public institutions, were given
special attention in an order which di-
rected railroads to assign cars to the
mines for transporting coal for their
use. The order specifies assigned cars
are to be used to supply current needs
only and that assignment will not be
made until the utility has filed writ
ten request, in which the carrying rail-
road has concurred.

actual earnings, which, the operators
statement said, have increased from
luS to lib per cent since 1914, This
was supplemented by table showing
mat savings banks IN the anthracite
region show an increase of 4S per cent
1920. - - ~ -
The operators maintain that, owing
20 unlike conditions, increases given
control adjustments in the anthracite
held; that anthracite mines are on a
basis OF full time operation and that,
based on comparison Of rates paid
IN other industries in the same terri
tory for like skill and effort, no in
crease is warranted; that the records
show the increase in annual earnings
has FULLY met the increase in the cost
OF living; and that any adjustment
should be on percentage basis so as
to preserve the differentials between
the different classes of labor, and
should not be a fiat increase of the
same amount to all classes of day
labor.
With regard to the extension of the
elght-hour day to watchmen, pump
men, fan engineers, stablemen, power
house engineers and some hosting
engineers, the operators pointed out
that these duties are not arduous, but
that, at the suggestion of the secre-
tary of labor, they had agreed to put
pumpmen and inside and outside hoist
ing engineers on an eight-hour system,
which was to be worked out by the
board of Cancellation.
The necessity for such an adjust
ment does not exist, the reply says,
but the operators agreed to the
suggestion in spirit of compromise.
The demand for time and half time
for overtime and double time for Sun
days and holidays is fatty opposed.
The real issue in this is more pay,
the operators say, and not the elimi-
nation of overtime.
