IN BARRE
Soft Coal Shortage is The
Worst In Years
LACK OF TRANSPORTATION
One Granite Firm Had to Suspend 0pe-

Bad Shape.


The soft coal shortage in Barre is the
worst in years, much worse than during
the last g4eat coal strike. Many Of the
granite quarries and manufactures are
keeping their business running from
hand to mouth as it were. Those Who
happen to be caught with low suDpIy
are much worried over the outlook, ana
IN fact, one firm, the Eclat Granite COM
paliy, was forced TO shut down complete

there was no coal to be secured. Today
they got small quantity and were able
10 resume operations, hut with enough
for only very short period. Other
firms are in almost as bad shape. Deal

Each road tries to shift the responsible

and manufacturing firms viii be forced
to shut down.
Several firms are fortunate enough TO

Coal IS not the only commodity in
which there is shortage in Barre.
Sugar Is very scarce at the present

quests to supply dealers there. One
