NO HOPE OF RELIEF
IN HARD COAL Famine
Reading Railroad Announces
Stringency viii Continue
Throughout Winter.
NOT A U IN STORAGE
Despite Utmost Efforts OF the Cons
panies - Pennsylvania Causing
Delay Through Failure to
Deliver Cars.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2o.-The officials
Of the Reading Railroad company hold
out no hope for relief In anthracite coal
stringency this witer. Despite EFFORTS
of the company to mine and ship TO
its full capacity there Is not a pound
Of coal at any anthracite companys
storage point.
1t is claimed the Pennsylvania rail-
road is causing much delay In ship
ments Of coal to the west by not de-
livering cars TO h coal companies.
The coal famine will be felt more Sc
verely east than west. because the east
is more dependent on anthracite. AL
ready there has been great suffering IN
many cities. Thousands of people have
applied daily for fuel In New York, and
been turned away. The city voted S250,-
600 to buy fuet for the poor and private
philanthropy has been called on for
much more. With winter not yet be-
gun, great suffering Is certainly ahead
IL the situation shall prove so bad as
feared.
No Surplus, SO Great Is Demand.
The coal men have been hurrying coal
10 the Ieho VI liS iahCo W bDNS
eral weeks, hoping to supply needs In
that section before the lakes should
close. But they have scarcely any
thing ahead so great Is the demand
Milwaukee, Chicago and other lake
points have been on the verge OF fam
inc.
1t has been repeatedly charged In
New York that the coal companies held
Immense quantities Of anthracite on
sidings in small towns OF Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey, letting the
| people suffer While prices went up; let
ting go of the coal In such quantities
as not to interfere with the excessive
prices. The companies absolutely deny
this, and the charges ave not been
| much heard recently.
The situation Is that for several
months, when o. for winter Is stored
up, no mining was done. Now the
| miners cannot get II out fast enough.
II the severe weather with which win
ter has set In shall continue, the suf'
| fering will far exceed that yet seen.
