MANY CARSARE
NEEDED DECLARE
COAL DOCK MEN
q Railroad MentA j.
attempting to Cover
~ 4. Up Situation.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan: 24.-The fol-
lowing statement was issued here to-
day by coal dock operators at the
American head of the lakes, regarding
the alleged shortage Of coal or other
cars In the trade in the territory sup
piled from local docks.
Coal dock men have been facing
q serious shortage of equipment for
carrying their commodity to consum-
ers for, the past three weeks. In the
face OF this shortage. which is fast
becoming critical. railroad men have
been. standing behind old records of
l1St, tall, and making claims that there
are no demands being made on them
by GOAL consumers. r.
trying to cover up and justify an ap-
parent present impossible situation.
"A comparison of the number Of
cars shipped last January or even last
fall Is not justified in the face of the
present severe winter weather, and
lack of stocks in the country. Coal
docks have on file today innumer erabie
unified orders with only a 80 per
cent supply Of cars available. Even
this supply is composed Of 70 to 80
per cent ore cars with only one-half
the carrying capacity Of ordinary oal
cara, which have been used hereto
fore. The preference list for railway
fuel and public utilities makes such a
demand on the meager supply of cars
available that there is practically
nothing left with which to furnish
coal to the domestic trade throughout
the northwest, steam plants and vari-
ous mining companies" ls
The Chicago Office Of the railway
administration have drained the
northwest Of q very large supply of
coal car equipment, leaving apparently
nothing but small ore cars in their
place. They have been making prom
ises to replenish the car supply. but
apparently nothing has been done to
accomplish this to date. The fact
that small dealers and consumers are
willing to go to the expense Of un-
loading ore cars Is sufncient evidence
that stocks are low and the commod-
ity badly needed at numerous points
| at the present time.
The coal dock men are not demand
inGk equipment to the exclusion of
other business, but do think the rail-
roads should be able to furnish this
industry with suncient equipment to
| take care of consumers demands dur
ing the time when 1t is Of utmost im-
portance that their commodity be
distributed to points where 1t lis need
ed to keep people from free1ing and
industries from pulling their hres and
shutting down. - II y

Hopes For Placing Former
Emperor On Trial Are
Fading. ....

Paris, Jan. 24.-Conferences be-

France and Italy will be held before
the next move in the proceedings to
extradite former Emperor William
from Holland Is decided upon, accord
Ing to Information given the Associ-

flee. Whether the next demand for

Hague or Berlin will be the main sub
5ect to be determined. i@ :.
The next meeting probably will Nbe
held in London. but as no date has
been fixed and the matter cannot be
left pending a long time, the foreign
office expressed the opinion that the
question might be settled through
diplomatic channels between Rome,
Paris and London. It Is understood
that at least one premier il not averse
to asking Berlin to call for the return
Of Count Hohenzollern to Germany
and then demanding that Germany
deliver him over to the Allies in &C
cordance with the provisions of article
228 Of the treaty of Versailles.
Sentiment in official circles here Il
against such procedure, as there IL nc
desire that the former emperor re-
turn to Germany. It is doubtful
whether Germany would acqutesce
and make representations to Holland
and it is also problematic whether
she would deliver up the erstwhile
sovereign in the event she should OBJ
tain possession Of him. It Is also
feared the presence Of Count Hohen-
zollern in Germany would solidtfy the
monarchist party which is reported tc
be gaining strength daily.
