the reports of all these touring chron-

Few Trains and Slow,
When l first went into Vienna in
the early spring of 1919 rode in on
a freight train from Trieste. The
train was carrying food and was
guarded by American sailors. 1t was
the only kind of train running from
that direction The only other train
from any direction was military
train from Paris through Vienna to
Warsaw three times week, which
was inaccessible to any but officials
and persons willing to pay exorbitant
brides. Trains in every direction were
practically non-eXistent Railroad sta

When a train ran Semi-occasionally

able.
There was no railroad train to
Czecho-SlOvakia for a long time and
no communication by boat along the
Danube. When traffic did begin spas
medically, savage customs officials met
travellers at the frontiers and treated
them to bodily search for money and
valuahles, herding them like cattle
and hurting their luggage violently
about.
In Germany railroad traffic was bet
ter, but there were few trains and nO9
through service. Such trains as did
run were shamefully crowded. They
were unheateG and sometimes even
unlighted. 1t was only about year
ago that one of the infrequent trains
which left Vienna in the direction of
Switzerland had accommodations for
3l0, but 800 or more crowded into it.
People were damned into it like cattle
being shipped to the packing house. In
fact, everywhere throughout Central
Europe travelling, when possible at all,
meant delay, discomfort and peril.
Improvement Is Marked.
Such was the situation in 1919. but
ncw the Improvement, which has been
gradual and impereeptible perhaps TO
persons Of single experience. is
marked Clean, comfortable trains with
dining car service run between Buda-
pest and Vienna in about five hours;
there is a through train to Berlin by
way of Prague in fifteen and a half
hours and other through trains with
sleeping cars TO Rome, Trieste and

"Coal conditions are intolerable",
says the Dover Index. "NIost of the
consumers could stand the high prices
when every thing else was high, but
now that the slump in prices has come
and business is fiat the householder
and the manufacturer are wondering
why coal mounts in price instead of
falling with other things. To the

looking forward to next winter even
on the hottest day is calculated to
bring visions of suffering unless he
robs himself of other comforts and
badly needed things to yield to the
cry of the coal dealer to lay in a sup
ply of coal at present awful prices. 1t
is reported that the public is not buy
ing coal and that the mines are slow
ing down and many thousands of men
are out of employment. We are not
strong for government ownership or
control but coal is one of the prime
necessities of life. People will not
freeze and if coal prices keep up
something must be done to get coal
for the people before next winter at a
cost that they can stand. 1t is re-
ported that Congress is preparing to
investigate the whole matter but when
and with what delays? The people
are already worried and impatient.
By the end of summer they will be
wild for action. We recall that years
ago with less provocation the most
conservative leaders begin to talk of
government ownership of mines. The
world has moved some since then and
it would require less agitation under
the present provoking conditions tt
start a movement that would end the
rule of coal barons, and the whole rot
ten orgy of price boosting that goes OF
from mine to consumer"
