there has been a severe decline I'D

WASHINGTON. April Ito OBJ
tain even distribution OF output the
year around is the outstanding prob
lem Of the bituminous coal Indus
try, says the National Coal Associa-
tion in an analysis, just issued in
pamphlet form, of conditions affect
ing the nations soft coal supply.
1T is all matter Of transporta-
tion," the association says.
IF the mines have the cars as
they are needed, the public will have
its coal. And when there is an unin-
terrupted flow Of coal, prices always
will regulate themselves and always
to the advantage Of the consumer.
How to keep the bituminous coal
moving, so that the railroads do not
become clogged when there is alb
normal demand, is the problem that
confronts the industry no less than
the railroads. In the working out of
this problem the public plays an es-
sential part. Foresighted co-opera-
ton is needed on the part of the
consumer-the large industrial user
as well as the householder-in ar
ranging for his supply Of soft coal in
the off-season, the early spring and
summer months"
The Association points out that
what makes the situation a difficult
one from the viewpoint Of the rail-
roads Is the stolid fact that there is
a material deficiency OF cars in which
10 haul CON" Quoting calculations
made last fall by Daniel willard,
chairman Of the Railway Executives
Association, the pamphlet says that
this deficiency runs to some 10000
open-top coal cars, with an aggre-
gate carrying capacity Of 100000
tons on each haul.
"On account Of the car deficiency
says the association. the carriers
must spread the haulage Of coal
over the entire year or, failing that,
attempt to handle the major output
of the mines in the period of great
est demand-the fall and winter.
The association refers to the find
ing of the Bituminous Coal Com
mission, appointed by President
Wilson, that the solution of the
(coaD problem is to bring about
ovenness of production and distri-
button" and that lit is evidently the
public's duty to aid in the stabiliza-
ton of the coal market by purchas-
ing and arranging to store as much
coal as possible during the spring
and summer"
Admittedly. it may not be easy
for the average consumer, once out
of the winter. to think Of his coal
supply for the winter. period to

citation. But it is not easy. on the
other hand, for the carriers to find

JAILED FOR ISSUING BAD CHECKS--HE MAY
 BE VICTIM OF ERROR

Carrollton, January 31.-(Specialr)- L. J Epperson has been locked up in the county jail, charged with passing worthless checks on the First National bank of Reform, a charge having been docketed against him in the mayors court.
 The circumstances surrounding this case are peculiar in that Epperson claims to have been representing company in Birmingham. dealing in dogwood timber, and that the firm is supposed to deposit money for ex- penses and he to check on the account as needed. On this particular occa- sion, however, no funds had been placed to his credit, it is alleged, and the two checks amounting to $60 were turned down.
 Epperson was still in Reform when the checks were returned and it is be- lieved by those familiar with the case that an error has occurred, as he could have easily gotten away long before a report was made on the checks.
