CANALS FOR THE RELIEF Ot Great Activity Along Lines Suggested in Evening World’s Investigation, By Sophie Irene Loeb. ‘That The Bvening World's disclos- ure of the enormous economic waste in the neglect to use the $156,000,000 State barge canal is bearing fruit is evidenced by an order just given by the Federal authorities for the build- ing of a large terminal warehouse at Pier 6, This Is the first warehouse to be built by other than State money for the bara al a Ie indicative of the belated devel- opment of this waterway built to relieve the high cost of food and freight. G. A. Tomlinson, Federat General Manager of the New York canal, will Degin work immediately on this new strocture, which will tend consider- ably to reduce the congestion on the raflroads, Not only thts, but an order 1s aleo going forth for five new steamboats to be operated by the authorities from Washington, together with 165 barges, as set forth tn this newspaper in its investigation of the great possibill- population of the State. ‘This is only the beginning of the vast resources of this water- way which parallels the railroads, The natural interest of the rail- roads has been to retard the progress of thie canal, since has been the potential big rival of the railroad. But now that the Federal Gow ernment is in contro! of the raf roads, these questions are asked on all sides: Why not use this most im- portant transportation facility in connection with the railroad and thus relieve the terrible clogging of traffic, and especially of coal? Why not use all the railroad terminals in co-ordination with the canal until more terminals can be built? MINALS FOR CANALS? the railroad ing freight?

According to the investigation made \by the General Manager he not only burgh Coal also ascertained the additional tonnage those same and others were purchasing from other sections— namely, the Clearfield and Central Pennsylvania districts, amounting to 469,600 tons, This coal Is moved large- ly through Geneva and the New York Central, although some little of it has drifted through to tidewater at New York, and one lot was sold up the Hud- son River as far as Troy and barged from Port Reading. in fact, the greater percentage of the coal which ts being used along the canal from Rome east to-day is coal purchased from Clearfield and Central Pennsytvania district, all of which would have to move via Geneva if the barge secured the traffic. | DIFFERENTIAL RATE MUST AT- TRACT WATER SHIPPERS. Investigation with the New York Central Coal Department develops that under present tariffs the earnings on this traffic to Troy for local delivery would be only 66 cents @ ton, and on business going beyond Troy it would be 16 cents @ ton less, or 60 cents @ ton e line. ie ate as ne axthactn may hope to handle this traffic at all, even after the proper terminal facili- es are Gslaviisbed al Lue Vids ous points on the canal, is for the canal to have a to 40 cents per ton to make it an Inducement to ship via canal, and in order to do this it is going to be necessary for the rail.lines to publish through rates on coal in connection with the canal, and accept as their proportion up to canal junctions less, by considerable, than they are de-| manding at the present time—the same as would be done on joint ail- rail rates, This would also cause the Fuel Administration to give us more consideration when afranging their distribution, = The Traffic ent believes if it can only demonstrate to the rall lines that the canal is actually in shape go far as its terminals are con- cerued to handle coal and make de- livery to consignees as desired, that the rail lines will meet them half way on this proposition and give con- sideration to their request for re- duced proportions. According to the report it “is very evident as the matter now stands with the terminal conditions at the different points in the shape they are, that our prospects are very poor for securing any coal tonnage, because the cost to the consignees or to the shipper, whoever pays the freight, will certainly be more than for ali rail movement, even if our rates to nal may be the same, but I ef the terminals were put shape for the handling of 1, ned from mining points in eonnec- tion with the canal line on a proper differential basis, that we can build up a nice coal business to points on the canal, which could probably be moved during the summer season, when, under normal conditigns, our boats would be running light This would encourage the receivers to re- establish their yards on the canal again if assured of permanent canal service.” pe CRESS JOHN W.
