ENOUGH COAL FOR ALL,
IS HOOVER'S OPINION
Thinks Railroads Will be Able
to Meet the Increased Ship
ment Demands.

By Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Belief that
the railroads will be able 10 handle
the current coal needs of the country
this winter, was expressed today by
Secretary Hoover, who said the test
would come within the next two
weeks.
In the past, Mr.. Hoover said, the
best continuous performance OF the
roads in handling coal, both bitumin-
Gus and anthracite, was approximately
13,500,0 900 tons a week, while for the
next six weeks they might be called
upon TO move 100000 tons a week
He said that total, however. could be
cut down by not attempting TO build
up stocks and by confining distribu-
ton to current needs alone.
I'VE believe" said the secretary
that we will be able TO take care oi
the current needs of the country"
What might develop during the
next two weeks if the railroads of the
country should find themselves unable
10 handle coal movement for current
needs, Mr.. Hoover did not indicate
declaring that the problem in such ar
event would have 10 be solved upor
the basis of conditions which NIGH
prevail at that time.
In passing. however. Mr.. Hoover
asserted so far that he knew ther,
had never been a serious discussion
by the administrat ton of the seizure O
coal mines, either bituminous or an
| thracite.
