WASHINGTON'S COAL FAMINE.
Report That the Reading VIII Sell 10 the
Highest Bidder.

WASHINGTON. Dec. ia well-defined
r,imor is circulating among the local
dealers that the Reading Railway will soon
abandon its efforts TO keep down the price
Of coal by selling only TO those dealers who
will sign an agreement to charge a maxi
mum of s7,25 ton for anthracite. and will
place it's coal on the market to be sold
TO the highest bidders.
The Reading authorities are said to be
much discouraged over the lmanner in
which their effort to protect the consumer
has been received, particularly in WASH
ington, where the famine is said to be
due entirely to the refusal Of the local
dealers To sign the selling-price agreement.
Should the Reading take the anticipated
step il is probable that coal will go to SIS
a ton here.
