 Were Being Used

Now that the government. mine opera tors, miners and railroads are once more pulling together, the problem of coal transportation is again holding the att tention of transportation and business men.
 In an investigation recently conducted by the Federal Motor Truck company of Detroit some Interesting facts concern ing the transfer of coal from the wagon mines-mines without railroad switch fa- cilities-to railroad sidings was brought to light. |
 The new government rule specifying that wagon mines must receive tneif share of coal cars, but requiring the mines to load them within "A hours, has compelled wagon mine operators to adopt more efficient methods of loading and delivering their coal. and most of these mines are now operating trucks instead of their old horse equipment.
 While the saving in time that the trucks effected is interesting and important, the investigations produced some interesting comparison of costs between the new and old methods. These costs. of course vary in different localities. but a fair average of the cost of the horse and wagon equip- ment showed that it cost approximately sl.50 per ton to haul the coal to rail- road sidfngs. The use of trucks lowered this cost to approximately 90 cents per ton and made saving in the total cost Of mining coal of from $3.55 per ton to
