CHICAGO REMAINS
TIED UP BY SNOW
Chicago, Jan. 7.-Thirty hours after
the abatement of the unprecedented
blizzard, Chicago's streets were still
badly impeded. Traffic for the most
part was confined to the paths made
by street cars. which made uncertain
progress through canyons of snow
heaped and drifted on either side.
There was scarcely a block in the
outlying districts without its stalled
automobile, hood-high in the snow,
waiting to be shoveled out. It will be
days before normal conditions on the
streets can be obtained.
No milk trains arrived today. Pas-
senger trains arrived from one to eight
hours late. Newspaper deliveries
were curtailed probably 25 to 50 per-
cent, and one paper abandoned an
edition this afternoon because of ina-
bility to distribute it to agents.
The city weather bureau offered no
relief. It predicted flurries for Minne-
sota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Indi-
ana, and southern Michigan.

GOVERNMENT COAL PRICES
BOOST PROFITS OF DEALERS
Washington, Jan. 7.-Profits of many
coal operators in the middle west were
materially increased by coal prices
fixed by the government, the senate
investigating committee was told to-
day by Clifford Thorne and David
Wing, an examiner of the federal
trade commission. Much of the short-
age of coal now experienced over the
country was attributed by Thorne to
excessive shipments to the northwest,
the temptation of operators to hold
back for higher prices, greatly in-
creased consumption, interference
with distribution through natural
channels, and an inadequate car sup-
ply. Relief, the witness said, can be
brought about only through two cours-
es, government operation of the mines
or purchase of the entire output of the
country.
In the Illinois fields some operators,
the witness asserted, are receiving
under government prices 100 per cent
more than in 1916 when the prices
were considered high.
Taxi Problem at Next Council Meeting
Alderman C. C. Freeman informed a
number of taxi men who attended last
,night's council meeting expecting that
the new taxi ordinance would be
brought up, that the ordinance would
be opened for discussion to the stu-
dents and townpeople at the next
meeting of the council.
