Roads Must Stop
ConfiscatingCoal
Billed Elsewhere

Railroads were warned today by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to cease confiscating coal
moving over their lines under pri-
ority orders for delivery to con-
signees who have been declared
preferred under the federal fuel
distribution plan.
"The commissions attention has.
been called to the fact that rail-
roads frequently confiscate coal
which is being moved under prior
ity of equal or higher class than
coal for railroad fuel as ordered by
the commission" said a commits
sion notice. This practice is not
consistent with the spirit of the
service orders of the commission
and tends to defeat the efforts now
being made to insure the most ef-
ffcient distribution of coal"
Present railroad practices in
making special rates to Atlantic
and Gulf coast ports on coal for
delivery to ships were found justi-
fed today by the commission.
though they result in higher
charges on coal moving to local
consumption in the seaboard cities
than on coal moved through those
cities to vessels. The rates on the
shipped coal, under the commits
sion's theory. are to be consider
ed as only part of a charge for
a rail and water haul.

SHERMAN PRAISES
INDUSTRIAL COURT
Kansas Has Right Idea for
Settling Labor Disputes,
Ex-senator Declares.

Kansas has the right idea in its
industrial court" said former Senator
Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois at
the Capitol today There are 10000
coal miners in my state who propose
to freeze some 100000 other people
who live in the state this winter If
they don't get what they want. There
is no more reason why these indus
trial controversies should not be set
tied by an impartial tribunal. whose
decisions must be obeyed, than there
is for the settlement by a court of dis
putes between individuals. The pub
lie must be protected against the ills
which arise when these great indus
trial troubles arise. Both sides must
be given a fair hearing and then COM
PEELED to abide by the decision.
I'VE might just as well face this
thing now as later. In matters re-
an Industrial controversy arises such
as the railroad strike. there should
be a federal industrial court to settle
the matter. The states should have
such tribunals to settle controversies
that affect matters within their own
borders"
Senator Sherman. who was at one
time chairman of the Senate District
committee, is in Washington on busi-
ness. He said that under the new
plan adopted for the appropriations
for the District he thought there
should be no trouble in meeting the
needs Of the District
There are some things that the
District needs that must be pro-
vided." said Senator Sherman, among
them enough schoolhouses of the
right kind and an increased water
supply. There is no use pairing these
expenditures"

FIELD SERVICE HARD HIT
Controllers Office Loses Largest
Number of Workers-More
Cuts Later.

Reduction in the personnel OF the

period between June 13 and August
]. 1922, was announced by Chairman
Lasker today. Savings effected by

poration totaled 1924. while on Au-
gust l. 1922. there were 5,166 en-
ployes.

brought about by designations and
separations from the service, the

the major portion of the reductions
have taken place among the board s
field force in this country and abroad,

clared.

the board decreases Liquidation of
the assets of the board and the fleet
corporation. and settlement of suits
for and against the board will enable
more reductions in the office of the
controller.
