lEv The Eniteo pressl

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The indus
tri activity of the country will be
curbed within three weeks because
of the coal shortage, according to
government fuel experts who arc
working en- the estimates of supply
and demand. 1t is predicted that
within twenty days some plants will
be forced to discontinue operations.
The nations coal supply now totals
thirty-two million tons. The reserve
four million tons at the time the

production for this week was five

for the same length of time was

grades in the far West. They are
carried en- five pairs Of driving
wheels, with a two-wheeled truck
at the front and rear. The large
amount cf weight on the driving
wheels gives great hauling capacity,
while the trucks support the enIs OF
the locomotive and guide it into
curves and switches.
Like all Southern Pacific loco
motives, these are equipped for burn
ing oil fuel The oil is sprayed
into tho furnace by a jet of steam,
and the fire is controlled by means
of valves placed within easy reach
OF the fireman.
..Various modern devices are APP
piled to increase the efficiency and
capacity of the locomotives. Before
entering the boiler, the feed-water
is heated; and the steam is also
heated to a high temperature before
it enters the cylinders. An auXil-
iary engine, known as booster,
is attached to the rear truck, for in
creasing the hauling power when
starting heavy trains and climbing
steep grades. The locomotive is re-
vcrsed by power-operated device
which relieves the engineer Of con
siderable manual labor,
"The tender has a large cylindri-
cal water tank, and smaller tank
at the front end, which carries the
oil fuel. The total length of each
locomotive and tender is nearly 100
feot and the total weight, loaded
and ready for service, is 621,0o0
pounds. The weight of this train,
without the pulling and pushing
power, will therefore be in excess of
5000 tons
