CAUSES OF HIGH PRICE OF BITMINOUS COAL Shortage of Cars and Rush of Peo- ple to Store Coal. ‘Washington, April 26.—Representa- tives of public utilities appearing here today before the federal trade com- mission, charged present high prices of bituminous coal to the shortage of cars and diverting of coal-carrying cars to other freight. Representatives of six railroads, the Central of New Jersey, Norfolk and Western, Western Maryland, South- ern, Reading and Wheeiing anda Lake Erie, repeated in a large measure the reasons advanced by representatives of other railroads for the present-high prices. The rush by the public to store coal was described by one as “hys- teria.” Shortaze of labor at the mines was another reason advanced for the increase in prices which the railroads agreed is about double the old con- tracts. Increased freight rates - was the remedy sugzested by tho railroads for the present conditions confronting them through doubie coal bills. Rep- resentatives of the industrial plants and general consumers will appear be- fore the commission tomorrow. HOW WOMEN MAY BE OF SERVICE TO COUNTRY Been Outlired in Letter by Gen- eral Pershing.
