way company, asked what should
President Roosevelt do. seems to think
that there is no great necessity fer
the president to do anything. The presi-
dents action is based on the alleged
imminence of coal famine bad
enough to mean national calamity.
Fish says there is no such famine and
will not be; that hard coal constitutes
not more than 20 per cent of the coal
supply of the United States; that Penn
sylvania mines more soft coal than
hard coal: that some twenty-nine states
have abundant supplies of soft coal;
that soft coal is the coal of the peO-
pie in fact and that there is that sort
of coal ito burn" as it were. For those
who must have hard coal it can be
imported in abundance from Great
Britain.
This is official: The International
Mercantile Marine company has ar
ranged to purchase in England $4,000
tons of the best domestic fuel coal for
immediate transportation to this coun-
try. Shipments of the coal will begin
at once and be hurried forward even
at the sacrifice of the company's or
binary business if that should be NEG
essary. This coal, as well as more,
if required, will be used to relieve any
suffering or scarcity that may exist
among the poor or in the public insti-
tutions.
