Some OF the Detroit newspapers
have been trying TO create q coal

the Michigan Central, Saturday, but.
II there are no further setbacks there
10 absolutely no need for anyone TO-

freight at all until Friday. This. Of
course, had q serious effect on the
coal situation. because Detroit con-
sumers have been living on hand-to-
mouth basis most or the winter. The
little thaw last week gave the rail-
roads q chance TO catch up, but the
snowstorm set them back again 70
where they were before. There -
no real ground for fearing a coal
famine, however, and SO far as can
be learned there have been no fac.
tories forced to shut down for lack Of
fuel, in spite OF the sensational
stories that have been circulated.
These stories only tend TO make the
situation worse" said one coal deal
er. "They make the people believe
that there Is real danger and every.
body rushes In TO protect his coal
supply whether he actually needs
coal or not. This makes II much
harder for the dealers TO supply those
who really need fuel"
II Is expected that the coal situa'
ton will rapidly adjust itself. The
railroads have been forced TO work
under great difficulties on account 81
! the unusually severe weather, but
they have been able 10 keep the sup
ply moving into Detroit except when
