just at the period when rail traffic is
at its peak, as it has always been in
late September, October and Novem-
ber They are then likely to find
themselves in a difficult position and
the cOuntry's rail transportation facil-
tiles overburdened, with consequent
delay in movement of traffic, ensuing
shortage of equipment with conges-
ton at yards and terminals. The rail
roads are now moving each week the
heaviest traffic in their history, con-
siderably exceeding estimates and,
should the present ratio of increase
over estimates continue, all previous
traffic records will have been exceed
ed The necessity, therefore, for the
heaviest possible movement of coal
during the summer months is appar-
ent, if it is desired to give the carriers
the assistance they will surely need
and avoid a slowing up of the whole
industrial movement, in which trans
pOrtatiOn plays such an important and
necessary part. Industrial consumers

WARNING TO COAL CONSUMER
Should Purchase Coal Immediately in
Anticipation of Requirements

f. r. Wadleigh, Federal Fuel Dis
tributor, in a statement issued today
says: can official statement just re-
ceived from the American Railway
Association points out that, if coal
consumers do not now purchase coal
in anticipation of fall and winter re-
quirements, they will experience diff
ficulty in procuring it later in the sea-
son when railroads are taxed with a
heavy movement of general traffic and
particularly agricultural products.
The Railway Association points out
that, while the carriers are in shape
to handle and move all coal with rea-
sOnable promptness, =. provided the
movement is distributed throughout
the entire year, they are not provided
with surplus equipment and facilities
in sufficient quantity to offset in the
fall months failure of consumers to
buy coal during the summer months
when sufficient transportation is avail
able. They emphasize finally the i'm
portance of purchase of coal by con-
sumers now, for use during the fall
and winter months. The foregoing
warning should be acted upon by
eyery consumer of bituminous coal, as
a simple matter of protection. If in
dustrial consumers hold off from pur.
chasing coal during the summer anc
enter the fall months with insufficient
stock of coal, it will then be necessary
for them to secure their requirement.
Smyrna times., 1923-08-08

aid the railroads, but industry gener-
ally and, therefore, the interests Of
the whole country. The Secretary of
Commerce, realizing the Importance
of summer purchase of industrial coal
and consequent aid to the rail car
riers, has already written all trade
associations, calling their attention
and that of their members to the sub
ject. A further communication will
be sent out in the next day or two,
again emphasizing the advisability of
summer coal purchase and storage, as
it is felt by the Department that the
industry generally has not carried out
to the fullest possible extent, the ad-
vice contained in the first letter"
