Fearful of Crisis Here.
Directs Purchases To Be
Made i'll Open Market
Promise No Improvement
Public Utility Corporations
Have Only Few Hours
Fuel Supply on Hand

Federal railroad officials yesterday
recognized the seriousness of the
threatened coal famine in New York
and the East by issuing peremptory
orders to prevent further commandeer-
ing of fuel in transit
New York dealers were informed
early in the day that Chairman Spen-
Ger, of the Central Coal Committee Of
the Railroad Administration, Sad in
structed his subordinates to purchase
coal whenever necessary at whatever
price they could. instead of continuing
the practice under which fuel was
taken by carloads and paid for when
ever the owner could learn its where
abouts.
But the car shortage. which is held
responsible for the present situation.
was practically unchanged during the
day. Nobody representing the Rail
road Administration was able to offer
hope that conditions would improve in
the near future.
Fear Administrations Power
Because of the power the National
Railroad Administration still holds
over practically every big industry,
however, heads of corporations that
were in danger of complete shutdown
for lack of fuel refused to permit their
names to be used in connection with
pleas for more cars. They frankly ad-
mitted tina. they feared the possible
consequences of alternating government
officials.
One of the citys biggest public
utility corporations was declared to
have but a three hour coal supply last
night. Other such corporations were
within twelve to twenty-four hours OF

going along now with the hope that

alton and make it possible to pick up
more fuel or find the lost cars that are
said to wandering in the West and
South
AS an example of the situation con
fronting practically all mines in the
Pennsylvania coal field was found yes
terday in the car records Of one of the
mines near the center of the state.
The tables for .he month of January
showed that where the months output
should have been 1890 tons loaded
but 10,1A4 actually found their way
stock.

most of the Mines said repres sdnta
tive of the company operating this
mine. ut must be remembered, 700,
that our business has been crippled or
seriously hampered because nobody
knew when a car of Coz, was consigned
to a consumer whether it ever would
reach there. If it failed to show up at
the proper time we would begin tracing
probably finding that it had been d.
verted' to some other consumer. whose
needs might have been considered more
urgent than those of the rightful
owner"
Typical Daily Rating
The accompanying table shows the
daily rating of the mine, in tons, as
recognized by the railroad administra-
tion. 1t is presumed that under nor
NAL conditions the cars to handle this
quantity of coal would be supplied.

The American Railway EXPRESS Com

operation under the United States Rail
road Administration, will continue un-
der private operation after the relin-
punishment of government control of the
railroads on March |. according to an
announcement made yesterday by
George c. Taylor, the president of the
corporation.
1t is probable that the American Rail-
way Express Company viii continue to
exist indefinitely. said Mr.. Taylor, as it
offers opportunity for more efficient and
economical operation of the various
units comprising it than would be given
by return to pre-war conditions. He
added that the continuance would rep
resent in the handling of express mat
ter what the United States Postotfice
Department does with mail, facilitating
Interchange of traffic among railway
companies and having the advantage CT
general use OF all equipment and juno

There has been no definite action

said Mr. Taylor, but it is expected that

as it exists to-day until the pending
Legislation in conjunction with the re-
turn of the railroads to their owners
is settled definitely. AS soon as Con-
gress acts, he said, an application to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Ior an increase in express rates will be
considered, but it is not known, accord
ing to Mr.. TAYLOR, whether the increase
sought will be large or small.
The companies which make up the
American Railway Express Company
are the Adams. American. Southern,
Wells Fargo, Great Northern, Northern

under government control at any time.
