Legislation Recommended By President
President Wilson urges enactment of measures aimed to simplify the
nation's industrial problems, suggesting prompt consideration of the diffi
culties existing between the railroads and their locomotive engineers, con
ductors and trainmen.
In connection wrth the eight-hour day law enactment, President Wilson
recommends:
Enlargement and administrative reorganization of the Interstate Com
merce commission along lines embodied in a bill recently passed by the house.
Amendment of the existing federal statute providing for mediation, con
ciliation, and arbitration of such controversies as the present by adding to
it a provision that, in case the methods of accommodation now provided for
should fail, a full public investigation be instituted and completed before a
strike or lockout may lawfully be attempted.
Lodgment in the hands of the executive of power, in case of military
necessity, to take control of such portions and such rolling stock of the rail
ways as may be required for military use and to operate them for military
purposes, with authority to draft into the military service of the United
States such train crews and administrative officials as the circumstances re
quire. Action by the senate on bill seeking to extend greater freedom of com
bination to those engaged in promoting foreign commerce than now thought
legal Under terms of laws against monopoly, on bill dealing with present

been acted upon by the house.
Action by house to enact bill passed by senate providing for promotion

San Francisco. Dec. 5. (V. N. S.)
San Francisco and all northern Cali
fornia cities and towns are on the
verge of a coal famine. Car shortage
has curtailed shipments so that the sit
uation is described as alarming.
"San Francisco is short 75.000 tons
of coal," declared J. C Kwing, presi
dent of the California Fuel Dealers'
association, today. "The supply of
coal now on hand, without additional
shipments, will not last longer than
January 1. Twenty-five per cent of'
the coal yards here have been without
fuel for two weeks and Stockton, Fres
no, Santa Cruz, Watsonville and other
cities are practically without coal."
Governor Hiram Johnson has been
telegraphed for help in relieving the
situation.
Kwing declared that the car short
age is crippling operations of the coal
mines in Utah and Wyoming and that
rolling stock Is so scarce that the
mines operate only three or three and
a half days a wpek. He added that
the ehipment of coal to this city was
limited to 640 tons a week when the
demand is 5000 tons.
