Eliot, president iemeritus of Harvard; Colonel IHenry L. Stimsori, former Secretary of War, and Colonel Guy D. Goff, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States, are among the men to whom the National Coal As sociation, in an aggressive move ment to stabilize the bituminous coal industry and increase its value to the public, has applied for advice. Dr. Eliot in a comprehensive let ter addressed to the organization’s annual convention at Atlantic City, stressed the importance of arbitra tion of disputes by non-partisan agencies, a tenet to which operators claim they have long held. Dr. Eliot advocated the incorporation of all unions that relate to tire coal industry I Car Shortage Becomes Surplus Despite | ' Greatest Freight Traffic in History the first Six months of j J9 this year the railroads hauled the i largest amount of freight ever i carried during any six months in the ‘history of America. ; And despite this tremendous traffic, Which in June resulted in the greatest aver carried in any one month, the freight car shortage has been turned in to a surplus of more than 84,000 cars. ; These facts arc available following a report of the Car Service Division of the American Railway Association on •the progress of the railroads since 1922 to increase their facilities and im prove transportation capacity and performance. _ The report shows: j Lln the first six months of 1923 the railroads hauled the largest traf fic of any six months in their history. 2. In June, they hauled the larg est traffic ever carried in any one month. 3. For the week ending June 30th they loaded 1,021,770 cars, the larg est car loading on record. 4. In the first six months of this year 79,240 new freight cars were pot into service and 1,998 new loco motives. 5., The total number of bad order freight cars has been reduced from 216,011, or 9.5 per cent., on January I, to 190,411, or 8A per cent., on July l. 6. Bad order locomotives have been reduced from a total of 15,549, •t 24.1 per cent., on January 1, to 11, or 18 per cent., on July 1, When there were the greatest number of serviceable locomotives on record. 7. The number of repaired loco motives and cars turned out of rail road shops per month has far ex ceeded Ahe performance of previous years. In the first six monthf'of this year an average of more than 38,000 repaired locomotives were turned out ecch month against onlv about 21,000 for the first six of 1922. In Tune over 1,200,000 freight cars pass* ed in and out of the railroad repair ■hops efithe country. 8. The average loading per car was increased from 27,J mm In 4pril to H too* in May. “In the public interest,” he wrote, “it is inexpedient that these secret societies, which collect large sums of money from their members, and use all their resources to support strikes, however violent, should con tinue to be exempt from the usual legal processes to prevent violations of contract and enforce payment of damages.” Colonel Stimson stressed the need of constructive leadership and uni fied front in self organization and self discipline in the public’s in terest. Colonel Goff emphasized the im portance of basic considerations in the coal labor problem to the whole problem of American social and eco : nomic development.

The reserve bituminous eoai stocks of the railroads have been in creased from 6,756,886 tons on Jan uary 1 to 10,657,371 tons on July ' The programme adopted by the roads for the year calls for average loadings raised to 30 tons per car.

PAGE FIFTEEN the form of American trade unions into industrial unions as an opening wedge toward compelling the ma jority in America, or a militant and effective minority, to accept the doctrine of communism. Investigations conducted by the Bituminous Operators’ Special Com mittee, appointed to cooperate with the United States Coal Comimseion, have found that labor is one of the principal factors of the cost of coal at the mine, amounting to 68.7 per cent of the total. The constant interruption of the coal supply by nation-wide strikes, made possible by a growing monopolistic power on the part of the United Mine Work ers of America, is given as the chief deterrent to a regular supply of coal at satisfactory prices.
