CAR RESTRICTION ORDER
SOLVING COAL SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON. d. C., July IL
According to the operating executives
70 some of the principal coal carry
ing roads of the country, the order
of the interstates commerce commits
sion, which restricts the use of open
top ears 10 the transportation Of coal,
is proving effective as means to
end the coal shortage now facing the
United States. The order has now
been in effect three weeks and has
but ten days more TO run and the con-
sensus of opinion among the coal
operators seems TO be that the order
should be continued in force for AT
least another thirty days, from July
2lst, next.
Some of the officials, however,
point ont that, in their opinion, some
thing should be done to make possible
some relief TO other industries which
are suffering aeutely as result OF
the order restricting open ears 10 the
use of the coal trade The steel in
dustry is perhaps the greatest suffer
err as a result of the enforcement of
the order, and many of the principal
steel mills may have 10 close down,
unless some arrangement is made ia
give that industry sufficient ears Ia
move at least portion of the raw
materials needed at the mills.

OIL COSTS RAILROAD
MORE THAN DOES COAL

In the 1919 report of the Western
Pacific, filed last Monday with the
state public utilities commission, an
idea Is given of the extent oil is being
used as fuel for the locomotives. The
period which the report covers is
twelve months of the time during
which the railroad was operated I'M
der federal administration,
The figures on fuel reduce the oil
used To terms equaling coal tons. In
other words four barrels of forty-two
gallons each are fixed as Of equal
heating power TO one ton of coal. The
cost of coal 10 the railroad was S4.l3
a ton, and the cost of oil was S6.40
per fuel ton. These figures are aver
age and include the transportation
charges paid TO other roads.
The grand total of 260,5S5 fuel tons
were used, of which 6s,623 were of
bituminous coal. The tonnage in
eludes 32,26s,l79 gallons Of fuel oil
In fuel tons the freight service con

ADEQUATE COAL SUPPLY;
LITTLE CAUSE TO WORRY

WASHINGTON, d. G., July TO-
Assurance Of an adequate supply Of
coal to meet all domestic require
ments during the coming months is
given by George II. Cushing, manag-
ing director Of the American Whole
sale Coal association, who declared
today in a statement that reports of
an impending coal shortage were un-
founded. The public, he said, is pauic-
stricken without reason or any excuse.
"There is no shortage of coal, 4"
Gushing stated There is no danger
of any shortage. Therefore there is
a reason. but no excuse, for the cur
rent high prices in the open market.
The reason is that we have had too
much governmental agitation of the
danger Of famine"
Gushing declared that for the past
eight months "there has not been
day or even an hour when some gov
crnmental agency was not ugitating
about coal and predicting a coal fam
inc Prices. he said, have reached
the highest pcacetime level in history
because those who need coal are
"fruntically bidding against each
other in every market Declaring
that he had investigated nearly every
alarmist report, Cushing asserted
that mot one of them will stand
scrutiny or analysis' lie predicted
that the consumption of bituminous
coal during the coal year, beginning
last April first. would not exceed
$4,000 tons-or iJ,2s3.00) IONS q
week.
'The present assumption, Cush-
ing continued. els that unless We
reach this average weekly consump-
tion in the early weeks of the coal
year We are rushing headlong into q
shortage of coal. That has not been
true in twenty-five years II Is not
true this year The records of the
coal trade are that with the cxccp
tion of 1917 aud l0ls-war years
we never reached in production a fig
ure equal to the required weekly aver
age production until the middle Of
August. This year we touched Il in
the second week Of June. Thus our
production is eight weeks ahead Of
schedule. That does not look like on
impending famine"
The statement also declared as un.
founded alarnist reports that New
England, New York City and Chi
cago had in storage only n two day.
supply Of coal. An investigation made
by the presidents coal commission
according 20 Gushing, showed that
the total storage for New England
exclusive of the railroads, was suf
ficient for thirty-eight days and thai

York and Chicago was "merely N,
