Local Shortages Due to Lack
Of Transportation, Thsir
Statement Declares.
By HARRY WARD,
international News Service.


In the. face Of an acute, fuel
shortage in New York and New
England, the National Cosi AS
ISOLATION declared in a formal
statement today that the demand
for bituminous coal during the
winter has been relatively so
light that little difficulty has
been experienced by the operators
In meeting the nations needs.
Blame Transportation n
Any shortages that have occurred
the association blamed on trans
portation difficulties,
No mention was made Of the
New York.NeW England situation In
connection with the report on soft
coal. but, according to aivicee
reaching the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Federal Fuel
Distributor, the fuel shortage In
that section was due mainly to the
Discrimination of the people to use
bituminous or other substitutes fol
anthracite.
/, Anthracite users everywhere
were restricted to so per cent OF
their normal purchase" Distributor
Wadleigh said, "but people in New
York and New England demanded
100 per cent supply. They refused
to buy bituminous, so naturally
there was fuel shortage" III

coal which has marked more active
years.
This Iessened demand" it wal
stated. land the fact that the win
ter in most parts of the country
was comparatively mild, combined
to prevent g. nationwide shortage
which was seriously feared as a re
suit OF the idleness of the union
mines forced by the United Mine
Workers demand for continuance
Of the inflated wartime wages.
Since the disastrous strike OF
last summer the output of many
bituminous mines has been cur
tailed, in varying degrees, by In

the production of soft coal beer
uninterrupted last summer much Of
this transportation problem would
have been obviated, since the roads
would have been able to carry the
coal before the heavy winter de

ISOLATION was controlled by West
Virginia non-union operators" and
denied that the wages Of coal miners
had been inflated"
Production OF soft coal is now
averaging about 10000, 900 tons a
week. During the strike it averaged
approximately one-third of this
amount.

STORM SPREAD FAN-L|KE
OVER THE GREAT, PLAINS

CHICAGO, ILL, Mar. 12.--Dozens OF
cities in the Mississippi Valley today
were deaf and speechless as far as
their relations with the outside world
were concerned. A storm coming up
out of the Southeast spread fanlike
over the Great Plains, bringing de-
struction to life. property and trees.
AS communication were restored
today stories of death and property
destruction began to arrive. It was
reported that several persons. mostly
negroes, were killed by the storm at
Pinson, Tenn. nearly fifty houses
damaged and numbers of trees up
rooted
Absence of wire communication
with the stricken district made details
impossible to obtain.
Central and Southern Wisconsin are
tied up by a blizzard, which started in
last night and still ragged today. The
snow is heavy and in some parts OF
the State huge drifts have BEEN form
ed by the high winds. The storm has
created the greatest damage of its
kind this winter. One man is dead
from exhaustion from battling the
elements, according to the cores
pendent.

Especially significant is the in
crease in the earnings OF South
ern roads. The net operating In
come OF those railroads FOR Jan
uary, 1928. represented a return
OF lob per cent. on valuation,
as against a return OF 2.S6 per

convincing evidence of increasing
prosperity in the South. for the

RAILROAD PROSPERITY

Reports OF railroad earnings
for January, published by the
American Railway Association,
show an increase that is signif-
cant as indicating nationwide
Improvement in transportation
conditions. The operating in
come of Class railroads was
S60,654,700, which, on the basis
OF their tentative valuation. rep
resents a return of 5.54 per cent.
These figures become even more
impressive when read in come
ton with those for january, 1922,
when operating income averaged
only 2.15 per cent.
That the railroads are giving
better service is established bv the
record of freight traffic for the
past month. which, in net ton
miles, broke all records for the
corresponding period in the his
tory of American railroads. That
they are functioning with greater
efficiency is indicated by the de-

THE WORLD COURT AND 1924

Apart from any consideration
as to the international signiii-
canoe of President Harding's re-
cent request to the Senate that
the United States be made full
fedged member of the Perma-
nent Court of international JUS
tice, which was established UNI
der the League of Nations, a
question must arise in the minds
of political observers as to the
relations of this step to the presi-
dental election of 1924.
1t is a step forward, and it is
the opening door toward Amer
ica's participation in European
affairs; this despite the shiboleth
of the G. O. p. spell-binders OF
no "entangling foreign alliances.
There have been many voices
among the Democratic ranks
urging tn placing of the League
issue on the shelf during the COM
ing campaign, and counseling the
beating of the tariff tom-tom as
the best means of inspiring the
Jeffersonian hosts to battle. But
they are the minor prophets.
And, therefore, the adoption by
the Harding administration o
the Bismarckian doctrine OF
beating your opponent to it."
Just as the Socialists of the old
German Empire were deprived, at
least temporarily, of their wea-
pons by the adoption of the re-
forms they demanded - but of
course with reservation" - so
the attempt apparently is being
made to forestall the Democrats
by the entry of this country into
the World Court.
However, should the Demo
Gratis triumph, which seems very
likely at this time, opposition
from the Republicans in Con
gress to any attempt to have
this country enter the League
must come with less grace than
it did when the Versailles treaty
was being drawn up. 1t was the
mutiny in the rear, in the ranks
of the Republican brigade in
Congress, which, the Democrats
insist, made the spiritual Wilson
powerless before the material
Clemenceau and LLOYD George.
and brought him back from the
battlefront at Versailles. a
broken, defeated Hannibal.
Nevertheless smile of grim
satisfaction must be lighting the
countenance of the great war
President Mr.. Harding. as SEN
ator, voted for the League with
reservations. As President he
embraces the Leagues world
court, and approaches ever near
er, with characteristic caution. to
the Gordian knot of European
relations. How Mr.. Wilson'S
hand must itch for the sword!
