Would Cut Rail
Passenger Service
in Present Crisis

Portland, Aug. 25.--Tlle state Cham
Der Of Commerce, through its presi-
dent. James 9. Gulnac, has taken dras-
tic action in regard To the present coal
shortage by wiring President Harding
and asking him to withdraw all pas
senger trains not absolutely needed.
SO that the ma jOrity Of the rolling
stock of the railroads of the country
may be used for the moving Of coal.
Maine is the first state to offer such
n suggestion to the administration. it
is understood, and the State Chamber
of Commerce The first organization in
the country to advance such an idea
for the control Of the coal problem
The text of President Gulnac's tnle-
gram, which was sent out late last
night, is as follows:
Portland, Me, Aug. "a. 1922.
President Warren G. Harding.
Washington. j.. c.
Owing to very serious effect upon
our industries and suffering likely to
occur to cur houschoiders from search
ty of bituminous coal, would it not aid
cd States.to take off all passenger
trains not absolutely needed? The
saving in coal would be considerable,
and the Inconvenience from this would
be less serious.
JAMES Q. GULNAC.
President state Chamber of Com
mcrce. Portland, Maine.
President Gulnacs suggestion, al
though it is the first of the kind that
has been adcanvod during the present
shortage, it is by no means without
precedent, since during wartime all
passenger trains which were not alb
solutely necessary were withdrawn
in order to make rails and engines
available for the transportation Of
fuel and war supplies.
If followed by President Harding
it would undoubtedly make a far
larger amount of coal available with
in the next few weeks than if the
present passenger schedule is fol-
lowed.
The suggestion emanates from the
State Chamber of Commerce because
of the grave shortage of coal for use
both in the homes and in essential in
dustries which has been betrayed
through the coal survey conducted hy
the State Chamber. The majority Of
the towns which have responded
have very small supply of Goa: on
hand-only enough to meet small
percentage of the winter require
ments. Some towns have no coal
at all,
The cities are in as bad situation,
and need of drastic action if Names
interests are to be served is patent.
The State Chamber of Commerce
was one of the earlies' agencies to
grasp the signihcancepnd seriousness
