Curtailment of Rail Service in Abeyance
CHICAGO November 18 There will be no drastic curtailment of train service in the United States at the present time despite the coal shortage. Director General Walker D Hines and seven regional railroad directors reported sufficent coal to run railroads normally for 25 to 30 days and said bituminous coal production was rising. A freight embargo would be the last measure to conserve coal. Some regions face worse conditions, notably the Northwestern region where 106 passenger trains have been suspended.
