as quickly as possible so as to avoid
a shortage in freight cars.
The shortage will especially hit the
Pennsylvania Railroad's eastern
lines, according to the statement of
Mr. Thayor who also says that the
demand for open-top cars is con
stantly increasing. lie points out
that it is essential that every cat
be as efficiently used as possible.
Throe suggestions have been of
fered to shippers and receivers of
coal to provide more cars, in order
to assure greater distribution of
coal.
The first is that all open-top cars
loaded with coal or coke or any
other commodity be unloaded upon
delivery; the second, that mechani
cal devices be installed to facilitate
unloading of coal wherever possible.
and the third, that every effort be
made to accumulate a stock of coal
for future requirements.
The Railroad Administration also
points out that a shortage in box
cars is at hand now, and that un
less every effort is made to load
and unload box cars promptly there
will be serious interference with
I commerce throughout the country.

lumbus Convention
Next Month
Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 14. —Alliances
!of the forces of the United Mine
: Workers of America and the four
| brotherhoods of the railroad work
i ers probably will be perfected at
! the international convention of the
I miners in Columbus, Ohio, next
I month.
| This fact was revealed here by
i Thomas Kennedy, of this city, dis-
I trict president of District No. 7, U.
[M. W. of A. The preliminary steps
i for the uniting of these two forces
of labor in this country have been
completed in recent conferences be
tween the leaders and the steps will
be reported on at the coming con
' vention. Full ratification of the
| movement is confidently expected.
The movement is modeled after
the triple alliance of labor forces
in England and is designed to give
full weight to the labor forces of
the country.
The united action taken by the
brotherhoods in 1916 in presenting
their demand for an eight-hour day
has been an object lesson to labor
in general and with the transporta
tion and mining industries combined
the coming submission of demands
by the mine workers will be given
added weight. •
It was also ascertained that the
miners will submit few demands
next spring, but that these will be
of vast importance and will be back
ed up by the power of the alliance
that will have been carried to its
consummation by that time.

Wilson May Veto
Daylight Repeal
Washington, Aug. 14. —President
Wilson, it was said yesterday, will
veto the law proposing repeal of the
daylight saving act.
The measure has been before the
President since August 5 and he is
expected to return it to Congress
berore the end of the week.
Efforts to pass the agricultural
bill with its repeal rider over the
President's veto failed last month
and leaders in both the House and
Senate doubt that the two-thirds
majority necessary to pass the re
peal law over the Executive's head
can be mustered.
