SHORTAGE OF GOAL THREATENS TO HALT INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY

k.DlTOR'S NOTE. v Th Chicago Weiri., In ha effort to obala reliable the al ahortaKF, had Richard C. Rurrltt, one of ita staff rrrltrr. mU an rxhaaative study of the p!?. Kee" from hta flrat article follow.) The industrial United States today is a cripple. In the broad sense business is either limping along or is beginning to stagnate. The shop, the factory, the home, the comfort and welfare of practically every man, woman and child are threatened. Railroad congestion is the menace. It has brought about a shortage of cars at loading points necessary to

mstriDute the nation's wealth. The shortage has slowed down the production of bituminous coal, which, in turn, is slowing down the production of

of tho mills have borrowed to their eyebrows and the banks cannot hope to carry them much longer.

business to a dead halt next winter In nd cake last Thursday evening after

many states. Drastic measures alone

can save the nation from a severe depression with hundreds of thousands of wage earners unemployed, with bread lines in many of the great cities, with cold homes, lightless days and all the accompanying misery. Lack of Coal Immediate Peril. The danger immediately threatening the prosperity of the country is the present shortage of bituminous coal. Knowing that his daily bread, the clothes that cover him, the business that employs him, one and all are dependent upon the production and distribution of sufficient coal, any citizen can comprehend the significance of these four facts: 1. The United States passed through 1919 with the largest decrease in coal production known to the country's his

tory, a decrease of 141,903,000 tons!

from the 1918 production, due not so much to the coal strike as to the fact that after the armistice business and the railroads "guessed wrons;" thinking production would immediately increase, they foolishly used up their reserve stocks of coal. 2. The minimum coal requirements for the country this year will be 550,000,000 tons. 3. To fill these requirements it is necessary to mine and the railroads must distribute 11,500,000 tons each week. 4. Since April 1, the country has been running short of that amount by more than 2,425,000 tons weekly, because the railroads have not supplied

the mines with sufficient cars. Commerce Threatened. Chicago and Illinois commerce and industry are on the ragged edge. They are being squeezed by the car and coal shortage to such an extent it is only a question of time before plants will be shutting down and wage earners will be walking the streets looking for employment. Everyone knows that the strike of outlaw railroad switchmen injured the road3. Everyone does not know that the harmful effects of that strike are far worse than have ever been admitted in print. Switching districts throughout the east are clogged with goods. Many switching districts with

in striking distance of tho mine fields are clogged with coal. The roads have a difficult time getting even a proportion of open-tops to the mines and as hard a time moving the coal after it has been loaded. From 30 to 80 per cent of their switchmen have gone to industries paying higher wages which is not unnatural inasmuch as all business admits that the switchmen iire underpaid and the industry tcking them then complains to the roads about the shortage of cars. Auto. Makers Are Blamed. The worst offenders are declared to be the automobile manufacturers. The writer has heard them roundly cursed by business men in many states. Even the coal men who sell them coal condemn them for alleged piratical methods in the mine fields; that is, for their methods of taking coal away from other industries by bidding the market price of coal Into the heavens. Their agents are determined to get coal thoueh everybody else shuts

down. Many railroad men, coal operators and others are declaring that the manufacture of pleasure cars and other on-essential Industries should be stopped at once. It may be forced to 5top. James B. Walsh, vice-president of the Pittsburgh Coal and associated companies, the largest coal operating company in the world, goes much further. In Pittsburgh recently he told the writer that all industry on either s ide of Pittsburgh, the United States Steel corporation as well, should be closed down at once. His reasoning is similar to that of many other men in many states. It will be cheaper, less uncomfortable, to close buisness down for thirty, sixty or ninety days during the summer months in order to accumulate a suffi

cient coal reserve for winter use than it will be to close down for any period during the winter. Mr. Walsh believes the country must take one of the two courses. The steel corporation is inclining to his view and it will not be strange if the corporation should suspend the last of this month or the first of next month for a period of from thirty to sixty days. The eastern steel mills are choked with unshipped products despite the fact that the railroads are deliberately favoring them and the corporation is hanging on to open-top equipment that it should not have at this time.

Cocoanut Oil Fine For Wa shiner Hair

If you want to keep your hair in Kood condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries

the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless) is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure tho hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. Tho lather rinpes out easily, and removos every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can got Mulsiflod cocoanut oil Bhampoo at most any drug store. It is' very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. advertisement.
