EXPLAINS THE COAL FAMINE.
Operator Tells Why There Is a
Shortage in North Missouri.
prprRIIr SPECIAL.

Macon. No, Dec. 15.-"TEere are three
causes Of the coal famine in North Central
Missouri" said ". E. Murlin- vice president
and general manager OF the Wabash Coal
Company Of Huntsville. owner of a large
mining plant ~ Camden and general man
agcr OF the Black Diamond electric mines
ut Bevier.
The Increased consumption. the shortage
OF mine workers and the inability of the
railroads 10 handle the output are the rea-
sons for the present suffering he con-
become worse &s the season advances.
When l tell you that the town of Macon,
within six miles O: the greatest coal fields
in the State. is absolutely unable 10 keep
the wheels of its factories moving, and its
stoves and firesides going, YOU can imagine
the condition Of the towns remote from
coal mines
The production Will be fully as great as
last year, but the unprecedented demand
is what causes the trouble. Farmers have
been giving their attention to corn ana
stock shipments. and have quit cutting and
hauling wood. They have al got money
and prefer to buy coal fer :heir own use
to chopping wood. This has been the gen
eral custom throughout our territory and
has created an enormous demand. Coal
dealers in the towns are making life mis-
cradle for The operators with an incessant
demand that cannot be supplied.
In almost every little town you will see
long lines of cars on S!de-traC6S. to be filed
with grain and other farm products. This
is 50 general that II has taxed the carrying
capacities of the roads to the utmost We
have TO fight continually TO get cars. With
their present capacities the roads are doing
dous traffic so suddenly imposed upon
them. but there is bound 20 be considerable
suffering the balance of this month If the
weather Is very severe.
The year Will he historical IN the indus
try, az being the best. from a mine workers
standpoint. that has ever occurred in the
portant man in Missouri to-day. as great
interests are depending upon his labor"
