total production of coal has been so
heavy that If there had not been a
constant reiteration of the danger of
an impending famine there never
would have been a thought of the in
sufficiency of the coal supply.
Many New Mines Developed.
In the first place, the high prices
have brought many new mines into
existence. The railroads had to sup
ply them with cars. The distribution
of a fixed number of cars among a
greater number of mines naturally
resulted in a reduced percentage of
cars at each mine. Thus we got
enough coal in the aggregate. al
though each mine produced less.
The railroads at the outset of the
coal year changed from one form of
control TO another and from one or
ganization to--another: This slowed
them down, naturally.
They found cars in bad order and
had to retire many of them for re-
pairs. They had to carry the enor-
nous production of our factories and
had dumped upon them also the con-
tents of about all the warehouses
About the same time they began to
try to move enough road building
material to make up for three years
of neglect of our highways.
But, regardless of all these handi-
caps-now out of the way-the railroads
actually carried the same percentage of
year that they carried in the cerre+
spending three months of 1913"
The ends of those who want the rail.
roads under federal ownership and coal
under federal control are best served by
the cry of an impending coal famine
Mr.. Gushing asserts II they can sue
coed In showing that the railroads can
not carry the coal and that the Goa
men will not make an equitable distri-
button of what is produced. he says,
he l.,- tod he
which will warrant the legislators in
passing the desired laws next December.
NO coal men want government own
ership of the railroads. No coal men
want to put coal under federal con-
troll. therefore the coal men have not
been the authors of this cry of ceal
famine.
Making National Policy.
LAS you see. we are not deciding
merely a dispute to whether present
figures spell famine or whether they
do not We are. in fact, making a ma
tionai policy as to the railroads. Hav-
ing decided that. we will have decided
the question whether business shall be
free or regulated
I'VE cannot exist as a nation with
half our industries under rigid reg
ulation and half of them free to dc
as they like. We must have all one
thing or all the other. If We COM
press the railroads anu the pupiiC
utilities into artificial limits we must
compress the coal business to these
same limits. And. having compressed
the railroads. the public utilities and
the coal business to these same linn
it's. we must also compress all other
business to the same limits, to the
end that the same relationship shall
exist under regulations as existed un-
der competition.
This means nationwide pro-
gram of paternalism. equaled no.
