COAL ORDERS TURNED DOWN
EASTERN COMPANIES UNABLE

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Is Be-
cause of it's inability to fill the order
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal &
Iron company was compelled to de-
cline a contract for 100000 tons of an
thacite, the order for which was
ter-dered by a representative of Aus
tro-Hungary chambers of commerce.
The proposed purchaser was willing
to pay the regular price for
willingt to pay the regular price for
placing the coal on board vessels
either here or in New York Another
order for 100000 tons of bituminouS
coal wanted by the Italian govern
ment is offered to the largest soft
coal operators of the United States
with little prospects of it's being ia
ken because Of the great expense in
delivering it to its destination. The
great demand for coal by foreign
governments is attributed to the in
creased coal consumption by their
warships. All native coal is being
used for this purpose and the supply
is not equal to the demand.
An officer of the Reading company
explained that his company was COM
PEELED to decline all such orders be-
cause of the great demand for coal
among customers in this country and
because of the scarcity of labor at
the colleries. 1t. was further explained
that the shortage of all grades of coal
is increasing daily and many western
roads are now much disturbed con-
corning the supply for. the incoming
winter. Men who formerly work in the
mines are seeking employment in less
dangerous lines of business. Many
have abandoned mining as a means
of living and have turned to farming
in western states. Foreigners who
formerly came to the United States
to take up mining now seek employ
ment in other fields of labor.

point blank to let us have them. We
told him that if we did not get the
