WORK OF SPECTATORS
They Keep Coal Away From New
York in Order to Benefit by
Human Misery.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE coal famine
which is making the rich shiver and the
poor die III this city, is not genuine. 1t
is the result Of corner, deliberate con-
spiracy OF. the part of some coal operators
to keep the supply short and force prices
to the top.
-Dwellers in New York who have lis
tened to the long stories given out by the
press agents of the operators about their
herculean efforts to keep the city sup
piled may believe all these professions,
but the business men who live in New
Jersey and who come daily into New
York as commuters on the different roads
know exactly what the situation is d s.:
F.. Ask one of these men what tthe price
is in: any of the hundreds of New Jersey
towns and cities within 100 miles of New
York. : He will tell you that he can get
coal--all he wants Of it-for 1925 {, ton.
He will tell you that all along the Erie.

they knew would soon afflict New York.
Some Of the SPECTATORS demand as high
as 80 and $40 a ton. Yet coal is selling for
$3.50 at the mines and the north and

South Americans Blame Castro,

New York. Dec. 1.-Wherever South
Americans gathered down town there was
a group Of excited Venezuelans discuss
ing the critical situation in their couAtry,
but their talk was not belligerent..
I'VE recognize" said one Venezuelan,
that Germany and England have been
provoked to act as they have by the stu
pidity Of President Castro. 1t is humilia-
ting to us to see our ships and custom
houses seized, but we know that the for
eign claims never would be paid by Cas-
tro unless under pressure.
1t is believed here that as result of the
seizure Of the gunboats. the revolution
lists. who are making a renewed effort to
dispose Of President Castro, will succeed.
In which event Germany and England
might wait little longer for settlement.

TO PATROL THE COAST
The Naval Plans Of Great Britain and
Germany.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE naval plans of
Germany and Great Britain provide for
the patroling of the Venezuelan coast by
launches in order to prevent smuggling
and for the blockading of those Venezue-
Ian ports where the custom houses. have
not been taken over in order to prevent
vessels avoiding the ports occupied by the
allies.
Naturally this procedure, if it becomes
necessary, would require number OF
vessels, and as Great Britain has more
ships available in the West Indies than
Germany, a larger portion of the work
will fall on Great Britain unless Ger
many sends out additional cruisers, &C
cording to her first intention.
