Fast Unloading of Coal Cars Advised by ODT
The ODT today urged speedy unloading of coal cars at delivery points to return them to the mines for reloading. About 35,000 coal cars were frozen in transit by order of Secretary Ickes at the start of the coal strike to divert fuel to consumers with less than ten days of supply. The lifted freeze caused terminal congestion and potential losses from mining suspensions. Dr. Vector Joseph H. Eastman warned against further losses from fuel supply failures.
