flats, but for the past year or more
there had seemingly been a tend
ency away from this class of resi-
dences, and separate houses were
coming more and more into demand.
To-day, because of the coal famine,
there is a mad scramble for flats, and
rents in the great apartment build
ings are soaring skyward. Five, six
and seven-room apartments that
would have rented last May at from
SIS to $35 per month cannot now be

is the landlords harvest.
The unhappy mortal who is fated to
1well in a climate where heat is nee
essary finds it much more pleasant to
back up against a heated steam coil
in fiat building than to attempt to
get heat from radiator from his own
fornace for which he must supply the
coal; or to swear fuently at the jani-
tor and order him to dig deep into
the landlords coal bin, instead of Dig
cling deep into his own at a time when
the replenishing of the coal supply is
one of the uncertainties of life.
Altogether the fiat dweller is not

LONG chance at death under the feet

a long chance at death under the feet
of the truck horses. Her business is to
provide fuel for shivering brothers and
sisters at her one-room home, and
without fuel life is worse than death.
In fact it is doubtful if these chill
1ren of the tenements ever think OF
the terrible chances they take; death
to them has NO terrors when COM
pared with fireless winters day.
TO these little cleaners the lessened
supply of coal means lessened oppor-
tunities. From every car of coal, from
every wagon-load of the fuel, SO many
Jumps must fall, but when the cars
come not from the mines, when the
wagons stand at the stables for lack
of something to haul, the Jumps fail
to fall and the fires cease to burn.
Along the tracks of the railways
coming into Chicago from the east
have been favorite cleaning grounds
for this class of the population in other
winters. But this winter the bump
and jar of the trains fail to loosen
the small black Jumps and send them
over the protecting sides in any con-
siderable quantities for the reason
that these roads are carrying into the
city but a comparatively small guam

'"Will YOU send me out about ton

before?" comes the quick reply from
the man with coal to sell.
"From man I knew out my way.
He used to run coal office, but he is

swell, we can't supply you now at
any price. We have only enough coal
to take care of our regular customers.
If you had been buying coal of US be-
fore we would be glad to take care
of you now, but, you see, we have to
look after our regular customers"
Either the would-be purchaser gets
some such an answer as that, or he is
turned away with the information
that the order will be received and the
coal delivered some time during the
coming summer In either case he
must make the most of an empty coal
bin with the thermometer at a dan
gerously low point.
And so it is that the large dealer
is sowing the seed of fruitful harvest
another year. The purchasing public
will take no further chances, for a

that is for sale at a fair price-to the
right parties. To those who are not
right" it is practically unobtaina-
BILE at any price, and in all probability
will remain SO throughout the win

The way is, this.
Tt is the large wholesale dealer who
has the coal; the man who ships 1T
from the mine in trainload lots, and
who sells it either by the carload or
the half-dozen tons to the small re-
taller or direct to the consumer. The
small merchant, the man who buys of
the wholesaler and deals not with the
mines direct, is practically out of BUSH
ness and has no coal to sell, the whole
saler is, providing him with none, and
he has no standing withthe mines
Go into almost any portion of the
city where reside the working classes;
the people who are dependent upon
daily, weekly or monthly wages of the
stores and factories, and you may see
a number of these small coal offices
closed up. 1t is useless for them to
keep open; the proprietors have not
sufficient coal to heat their own Of
fees; they have nothing to sell at
any price. Their trade has beenamong
families whose demands were for heat
ing fuel, the combine of the larger
merchants has not allowed them to
sell to the factories, and SO they have
sold but little except anthracite, but
now it is almost impossible for them
to get even soft coal SO great has the
demand on the part of their larger
competitors become.
