THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 18, 1920. 3 A EXPEDITE CO At SHIPMENTS TO LAKE ERIE PORTS Plan to Ship Approximately 20,000,000 Tons of Fuel to Points in Northwest By Water. Chlraro Tribune-Omaha ! iMHd Wire. Washington, July 17, Priority orders designed to insure an ade quate supply of coal for northwest ern states probably will be issued by the Interstate Commerce com mission next week. A proposed draft of an order will be presented to the commission on Monday by committees represent ing the National Coal association and the railway executives. The order embodies a plan for relief of the territory dependent upon the shipment of coal by lake during the summer months which was worked out at conferences during the last few days in New York. Under the plan, approximately 40,000 cars wilj be furnished to the mines tributary to Lake Erie ports daily, and JO,WH).(XKJ tons of coal will be shipped by lake to Min nesota, iscopsm and other states in that section before the close of navigation, November 1 Roads Give Preference. The proposed order directs the 'railroads to give preference and pri ority to carloads of bituminous coal consigned to H. M. Griggs, nian aser of the Ore and Coal exchange, Cleveland, O., at any Lake Erie port for transshipment by water. It also places an embargo on the supply of cars vfqr, or the movement of bituminous coal, to other consignees or other destinations. This embargo shall not apply after producers and shippers of coal in the area trib utary to Lake Erie ports shall have shipped on any day, a precentage of the total numbe? of cars to-which they are entitled. After having shipped on any clay the required number of cars to'Lake Erie ports, a coal producer for the remainder of the day may consign the other cars which he receives to any consignee and destination de sired. The order also provides that bi tuminous coal consigned to Mr. Griggs shall not be subject to reccn sigivment except upon permit issued by bim. Griggs to Fix Percentage. The percentages for the various coal mines will be determined by Mr. Griggs. The order is designed to apply to coal mines in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia chiefly. The railway executives have ap proved the plan as suggested'by the coal operatoVs especially interested in the. northwest situation. . The order as proposed is to re main in effect for the remainder of tl'.e navigation season. It is expect ed it may affect some industries in the Ohio region adversely. Those who sponsored it, however, said that the imperative necessity of shipping coal to the northwest during the open season outweighs any adverse effect in other directions. " Under the terms of the order, the enrs are to be loaded out of the cur lent daily distribution based on mine ratings and are to be loaded in preference to all other coal except railroad fuel and coal given prefer ence and priority under existing or ders of the Interstate Commerce commission.

Selinski, who spent more than 20 months in Siberia with the intelligence section of the Siberian division of the American army. Se linski, whose home is in Brooklyn, N. V., is visiting in Omaha. He was among the last of the Amer ican expeditionary force to leave Siberia, embarking from Vladivos tok, March 10. While Japan and England are seizing business oportunities in Si beria, American interests are held back, Selinski believes, by the ex aggerated reports of bolshevism in the land of Lenine and Trotsky. Constantly on the move between Vladivostok and Omsk, a distance of more than 3,000 miles, Selinski declared he found comparatively orderly conditions and none of the "red terror" as reported in America.
