BIG CHANGES
Director General McAdoo
Told of Good Work by
C. H. Markham
0
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 13.—Marked im
provement in transportation condi
tions in the Allegheny region since
June 1, is claimed by Regional Direc
tor C. H. Markham, in a report to
Director General McAdoo, made pub
lic yesterday. The region includes
the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsyl
vania. east of Pittsburgh, Philadel
phia and Reading, Western Maryland,
Bessemer and Lake Erie, Pittsburgh
and Lake Erie, Central of New Jer
sey and other big coal-carrying roads.
Car Supply Good
During June and July the car sup
ply was generally good and met the
demand," said Mr. Markham. This
statement tends to dispute the claim
of the Fuel Administration that car
shortage is responsible for reduction
of coal production below the desired
record.
• "Freight traffic, considering vol
ume," added Mr. Markham, "moved
with reasonable promptness. There
was no congestion, as the movement
of business to the larger industrial
centers and for export is controlled
by permits. The embargo against
Uimber from the South has been re
moved, except as to points on the
seaboard between Washington and
Jersey City, where it is moved on per
mits."
Make Final Call For
Big French Locomotives
Reading, Pa., Aug. 13. The United

They are to be taken to Baldwin's and
after receiving a thorough overhaul
ing will be sent to France.
Ten of the locomotives built for the
Russian Government and now run
ning on the Reading system are to
be assigned to service between Ruth
erford and Martinsburg. W. Va. To
make up for the loss of the French
locomotives the Reading will shortly
receive twenty-five combination en
gines fron> Baldwin's.

Soft Coal Production
Shows More Improvement
Soft coal production in the Central
Pennsylvania district is about all that
could be expected. According to the
statement'of an operator yesterday,
the mines are getting all the cars
they can use, and the effects are be
ing seen in tonnage shipped. This par
ticular mine reported that, although
its supply of miners was cut to about
half of 1918 is some 18,000 or 20,000
rolls last year, tonnage for the first
half of 1918 iss ome 18,000 or 20,000
tons ahead of the corresponding
period of 1917. Better car supply is
the largest factor in this increase,
though the per capita output of the
miners has increased, which is na
tural when work is steady.

| Baker Holds Out Hope
For Missing State Boys
Washington, Aug. 1. —Secretary?
Baker said yesterday his department
had not been informed of the causes
for the relatively large numbers of
Pennsylvanians reported "missing in
action" in the Alsne-Marne fighting.
Secretary Baker said if the men
are in the hands of the enemy it
would indicate their companies had .
become separated from the main '
bodies of division or the force
with which they were operating.
He added:
"Bitt it is entirely probable some
of these men reported missing may
have been wounded and taken to
French hospitals."
It requires considerable checking
up after engagements such as that
in which the Twenty-eighth Divi
sion participated before a man's
status is fixed accurately.
