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.

Stories of 'Red Terror'
In Siberia As Untrue
Highly colored and inaccurate
pictures of disorder in Russia are
keeping American business in third
place in that country, according to
John S. 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.

Nebraska Railroads
File Joint Request
For Rate Increases
. Lincoln, Neb., July 17. (Special.)
-Seven Nebraska railroads today
filed a joint request with the state
railway commission for an increase
in passenger, express and baggage
rates following a request made some
time ago for a 23.9 increase in
fi tight rates.
The J-cent passenger rate is now
in force and a further raise may
not meet the apcroval of the state
commission and the roads will prob
ably have to put up some good argu
ment before the commission will
grant them what they want.
It is hinted that the Interstate
Ctftmierce commission may raise
rates cn all kinds of traffic. This
may be the cause of the activity of
the roads at this time.
