Mr. Voreis was in Hammond for a short time yesterday and discussed h" j coal outlook. He says comparatively .little coal is being purchased by o.!iJsumers at. rr.-scnt and all seem to be follow ing the old custom of waiting until winter before laying in tneir supply. "Mines can on!- run until they get their switches full of cars, after which they must wa.t until this is sold." slid Mr. Voels., "There are sufficient cars rijrht now to move the coal but the crJ (1. rs are not coming in. In a short tim j tho rolling stock of the railroads will I be w orked to their limit to take care of i the grain crops. Then it will be little use to order coal for it cannot be delivered in ou.intitb s until after the harvest rush b ts up." 1 Mr. Voreis believes there will be a j serious shortage of cars and engincthis winter when the coal rush sets in. "Any railro.H man win ten you. ne says, "that the locomotives and ea-s are in awful shipo. Only such repairs as are absolutely necessary are being made and it will be difficult to prevent a complete breakdown of the system." He added that people arc inclined to joke about tho advice of coal dealers 10 lay in their ste.cks early, but he fear that it is going to prove a very serious afrair b fore the winter is over.

EXTREMELY CRITICAL

Public Must Prepare for Any Eventuality Next Saturday. A strike of street car employes is impending whieh threatens to tie up street ar service in the entire Calumet district. The trainmen and shop employes of th Hammond, Whiting and Eaat Chicago Railway company are affiliated with Division 241 of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, which comprises all th operating employes of the Chicago surface lines. On Tuesday, July 15, th union made formaf demand upon the officials of th surface lines and the Hammond company for substantial increases in ray and changes In working conditions. The traction officials have refused the demands and the employes are to decide by vote tomorrow whether a strike shall follow. The overwhelming sentiment of the union is said to favor a strike and unless the employes dercanis are met in the meantime the ! cities of the Calumet district may find j themselves without street car service on j Saturday morning. 1 The employes are demanding So cents j an hour, an Increase of T7 per cent over . the present sca'e. also an eight hour i day, a six-day week, and time and oneI half ray for overtime. They claim tha ! increase is neccessary to -enable them ; and their families to meet the great ad vance in the cost of living. The Hammond company on the other hand claims that :t is impossible for it to mcet the increase for lack of sufficient revenue. The local employes were granted a wage increase to 4S cents an hour maximum, last August by the federal war board. This is said to have added $50,000 to the annual operating cost of the lines. In addition to this the company olai-ns thre has been a great advance in the cost of rails, ties and all construction materials, which has brought the cost of maintaining thsystem to a point where it almost exceeds the revenue. The company is limited to a five-cent fare to any plac '. the township, the sane fare that habeen in effect 25 years. The increas which the employes are now demandm -. would add approximately $160,000 to th present cost of operation. The tractic; officials say they canrot pay the trairmen more unless they are given an increase of fare to provide th necessar. revenue. It is hoped that th strike make baverted. that some solution may b found that will keep the. cars running The prospect for a settlement satisfactory to both sides is very meagre, however. The employes are insistent upon their demands and the company is equall firm fn its position thf.t it is financially unable to pay th increase. The publichas a very important interest In the controversy. It would be little less than a calamity if street car service were tied up. The situation may advance tthe point where the city officials of ththree cities in the. township may be called upon to intercede between tho two sides and attempt to bring about 1 solution that will be just to the employes and the company and permit ' the. continued operation of the cars in the interest of the public.
