PLAN slO,OOO,OOO DAM
NEAR BRANSON

Joplin, July 21.-C.. L. Proctor, vice
president and general manager Of the
Empire District Electric Company,
yesterday confirmed press dispatches
from Washington to the effect that
the Empire company has filed an APP
pfication before the federal power
commission for permission to build
dam across James and White rivers,
above Branson, at a cost estimated at
$10,000,000.
Permission also is sought Of the
commission to construct power plant
at the dam and transmission line to
Joplin.
Should the application be approved,
the dam would require two years for
completion. Specifications call for a
dam $500 feet long and It's feet high.
If built, the dam would be more than
three times the size of the Powersite
dam. The construction of the enor-
nous project would require more than
500 men, according to Proctor.
Although definite date for the
starting of the project has not been
set, the application is being made in
order that the company should be
ready to start work at its earliest con
venience. The power capacity of the
proposed dam is estimated at 10000
klowatts or approximately 10000
horse power.
That power could be generated
much cheaper by water than by steam
was the principal object the engineers
who drew the plans and specifications
had in mind. Mr.. Proctor said the
Riverton plant would be operated in
event of low water or break in the
transmission lines.

COAL SHORTAGE
SITUATION SERIOUS
Supply Will Be Rationed to Districts.
Fuel Prices are Increasing.

Washington; July 20. - Develop
ment Of plans for stretching out the
nations coal supply, now dwindling
under continued impact of the mine
and railroad strikers, was the i'm
mediate concern today of federal Of
ficials, acting in the industrial stu
alton. Secretary Hoover announced
that within day or two the interstate
commerce commission and the COM
merce department would put into
operation a schedule of divertlng into
essential lines the coal coming from
nonunion mines and those that may
be opened up.
Next in order for coal supply from
a diminished output, it was indicated,
would be the northern Great Lakes
ports, and should it be found impos-
sinble to avert a shortage the coal
distribution plan might be expanded
to become complete rationing of
supply to other industries and terri
tories. Attorney General Daugherty
commended that strike descriptions
had already made certain coal short
age next winter.
Replies of governors to President
Harding's request that they grant
protection to mines continued to come
to the White House, all assuring
support. Governors of Arkansas,
Montana, Oregon and Texas had not
responded tonight, while from Okla
homa came word that the governor
would reply later. Governor Groes-
beck of Michigan outlined plans for
opening mines there under state con-
troll with federal sanction.
In connection with a message from
Governor Morrison of North Carolina
questioning the president policy in
asking the mines opened, his admin
stration officials pointed out that re-
sponsibility for coal production in
tnaC state was small.
Reports to government depart
ments indicated that while trains are
being withdrawn by railroads the
of the mails and necessities
of life is continuing. Mail cars are
being attached to trains still kept run
ming, with motor trucks in readiness
to supplement this service.
Secretary Hoover indicated that
imports of coal from abroad might
help the situation, particularly in New
England. He pointed out that con-
siderable coal has reached Atlantic
harbours from England since the
strike began.
Prices for bitiminous coal, it was
said, have risen to levels higher than
those set by voluntary agreement be-
tween the nonunion producers and the
commerce department some weeks
ago.
Unofficial reports from the West
Virginia coal fields, where the bulk of
eastern nonunion coal has been pro-
duced, indicated a steady decrease in
production, due to railroad service
Officials considered it
evidence of the relation
ship between the coal and rail strikers
that clerks and freight handlers on
the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Nor
folk & Western railroads should be
called out, since the two roads serve
the greater nonunion coal fields.
Some West Virginia mines have not
had more than days supply of coal
cars in the four working days of the
present week.
