WITNESSES DIFFER AT HEARING ON COAL SITUATION Afk the Interstate Commerce Commission to Nullify Original Car Order. By Associated Press: WASHINGTON. July 8. Widely divergent opinions as to the nation's coal supply were heard by the Interstate Commerce commission Friday at its hearilg on the advisability of modifying its order requiring preference to he given coal mines east of the Mississippi in the assignment of open top cars. Some witnesses yaid the country was xperiencing the worst coal shortage in its history, while others leclared with equal finality that there was no shortage. The commission was nsked both to modify its order, originally issued for a 30 day period ending July -1, so as not to give so much of a monopoly on cars to th coal mines, and also to make the order more drastic and continue It for longer than 30 days. There was no indication by the commission of its probable action, and the hearing will be continued Saturday. Vrg"s Amendment. Carl Jackson, a member of tho Wisconsin railway commission. urp-d that the commission amnd its order so as to give preference to coal mines hav ing contracts to supply Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and southern Michigan. The movement of 4.000 cars daily to this territory must bo had until Nv. 1, he asserted, "to save the territory from freezing." This coal, he explained, must be dumped at Great Iakes ports and hurried to the northwest before closing of the navigation season. Apents of public utilities scattered throughout the eastern half of the country also asked that preferential treatment be given their tympanies so that a winter reserve stock might be accumulated. Their contention that a coal shortage existed was the opposite of the tcstinmny given by George H. Cushing, f the American Wholesale Coal association, who said present rroduction was equaling consumption. Mr. Cushing expressed the opinion that fair price for c oal at the mines should b" $3.5 a ton. and John Moore, repres ntir.tr the Ohio miners, adding that with an adequate car supply the cost would fall to $4. "Give the miners cars for another month or six weeks." said Mr. Moore, "and coal will not be ?,50 or $T.J5 a ton at the mine?, but down to $4. where it ought to be.'' 99 and the republican rlatform r,n the prohiUtion juestion. the eighteenth amendment and the Voh-te-ad enforcement act.
