RAIL ROADS CAUSE
FUEL FAMINE AND
NOT COAL MINE RS
Figures Show Shipments Are
Below Production Half
Million Tons.
SPEEDING UP NECESSARY
Government Has Shown More
Interest for Ending Shop
mems Strike.
BIZ ROBERT J. BENDER
United EctDs STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-SJriking
railroad shopmen and the rail ex
ecutives hold the key to the near
famine in coal existing in the country
today-not the coal miners and op-
orators.
Here are some striking official fig
ures, which show exactly why the
Government, since the outset OF the
rail strike, has been bending every
effort toward solving the rail tie-up,
letting the coal strike take care Of
itself
On Aug. IL coal loadings in the
producing fields We're only 1,391 cars.
a decrease Of over a thousand cars,
as compared with the average daily
loadings for weeks.
Shipments Show Decrease 80
While bituminous coal productive
for the week ending Aug. II amounted
to 4,558,0SO tons, shipments for the
same week netted only 4,o35,250 tons
through traffic congestion.
Perhaps the most striking figures
to consider, however, are those re-
vealing the amount OF production
that must come Immediately to put
the Nations coal bins again on {. safe
basis.
Thus far, in the present calendar
year, 212,156,000 tons Of bituminous
coal have been mined, as compared
with 239, 6S6,O09 tons for the identical
period last year.
This shows shortage Of approx
mately 27,OOO,O00 tons on the eve Of
the country's greatest period OF con-
sumption-winter
Must Work Full Time
Figuring average normal produo-
ton at around 100000 tons a week
and average consumption during the
winter a around 100000 tons a
week, two striking facts present
themselves.
l, The miners will have to work full
days and full weeks for many weeks
to boost the present output from A.
500 600 tons weekly to the normal g.
500, 900 tons. adding enough to meet
the extra million or more tons week
ly demanded in winter and adding still
more to make up the 100000 tons
deficit for the calendar year thus far.
2. Railroads will have to function
absolutely 100 per cent to boost their
present shipments Of 100000 tons
weekly TO the shipments required -
existing conditions-over 10000, -
tons weekly.
But it is futile to produce coal I'M
less it can be moved. Hence the in
creasing anxiety Of the President in
the rail situation.
Spot Price Is $685.
AS for what the operators will reap
from the shortage, official statistics
show that the average spot price of
$685. on bituminous coal. (. o. b. the
mines is today as per cent as COM
pared with the average for 1913. and
over 70 per cent above the maximum
Of $3.50 set by Secretary Hoover.

CHIEF WRITES BIBLE
Tomahawk and Scalp Knife Are
 Relics of the Past.
Indian Who Claims ChieftainShiP Over 4COo Redmen of Northwest com- piles indian BibIe"-Makss
 Unique Statement

Portland. Ore.-An Indian Bible" rhe compilation of uu Indian Ch!eltaln of the Pacific Northwest, is in course of preparation, and the work has reached the point where the compiler, Chief C. s. Suszen Tlmentwa of Okuuogan, Wash, has sent printed an uoupcements Uf the forthcoming Bible" to the Indians located In Port land.
 In these piping times of attempted disarmament and plans for universal peace, Chief Suszen Timentwa sounds the prevalent keynote and indicates that the tumahawk and scaping knife are to become simply relics of Oygone times, for he says:
 My desire Is if We will help In this business now We will have no more worlds war in the whole world"
 The announcement Is by the man who claims chleftainship of approIi- mately 1000 Indians of the Colville Indian reservation. He Is about thirty years of age, married aud has 6 family.
 Chief Suszen Timentwa's statement, unique in its phraseolOgy and Ideas, says:
 Many other signs truly did our old parents from the first beginning to the present offer to his futures, which are not written in this book.
 "WIu properly protect the American histories of the Indians from first be- glnnlngs till now. That I am going to protect my own American histories, that which had been hidden so long a time-never before had been written On the books.
 This is not a true religion of the genuine American Indian. Just tells the true religion of the Indians of the United States from that time when the white people discovered our land.
 From that time we Indians changed. but the United States was not changed. And, likewise, the genu' he Indian Bible has not changed"
