The shortage Of coal is severely felt
by the railroads. Wholesale conilscn-
tions are the rule ON all lines shipping
west. There is strong probability that
the street railways and the suburban
electric railways may have to shut
down for want of coal The big and
little consolidated railway companies
have only enough coal for three days,
Fifteen ears consigned to the big con-
solidated were confiscated by the rail-
way companies to-day. The street
railways are much concerned over the
matter
Unless coal begins coming into
Cleveland in few days. the situation
in the city will be serious, The light
ing companies fear the city may be
left in darkness, the director of the
public works is alarmed over his abil--
ity to keep the water supply going,
the street railway companies fear u
suspension of travel, and manufactur.-
ing concerns with orders to fill are
fearful lest their plants will have to
