THE small Dealers Mr.. Park Is
further reported to have said, have in
way depended upon the railroad sup
ply of coal to help them out, and unless
they store their own coal during the
coming summer they will face a famine
in the winter. Coal consumers along
other lines will meet the same emerg-
ency. The Union Pacific will store coal
as usual this summer, but will have
