So far no anti-foreign feeling has

country could easily rush thousands

COAL CONSUMERS
FACING CRISIS
Shortage in Production of
Anthracite May Mean
Scarcity Later.

There is a prospect that there will
be a ear shortage this year that may
produce a coal shortage, especially OF
hard coal, and the people who desire
supplies to lost them through the win
ter will do well to have their bins fill
ed early. This will not only save the
consumers from trouble and apprehen-
sion, but 1t will also help the coal
dealers to solve the problem, which is
to take care OF their customers.
Fortunate for the hard coal con-
Stunning public there are a number of
local dealers who are equipped with
storage capacity which will enable
them to carry large stocks and this
fact will partially solve the problem of
supply. But when the local storage
capacity is filled the accommodations
will not be sufficient to last through
the winter, and. therefore. it is neces-
sary that private storage be utilized
to its capacity early in the season. If
the dealers car take care of a large
| portion of their customers in this
manner they will probably be able to
carry enough coal to take care of the
rest of their trade.
Several factors will combine to IN
tensify the coal shortage of the late
fall and winter months. There are
immense crops all over the country
which will have to be moved to mar
ket and the grain trade will tax the
transportation facilities of the rail-
roads severely. In fact the railroads
feel now that after their greatest ex-
ertions have been used to move the
crops eastward there will still be un-
usual congestion in the primary mar
kets and in the country elevators. This
being the case the farmers will have
TO wait their opportunity to send their
crops to market. Every available
wheel will be In continuous service
and still the roads will not be able to
move the crops fast enough to salts
fy the demand.
The anthracite mines of the coun-
try are far behind in the matter of
! production. There has been a two
months season of s~hutdowns at the
mines on account of labor troubles
Since that the mines have not been
operated up to capacity on account OF
shortage of labor. AS a al
the product did not begin to move
with the accustomed rapidity and II
will require. an unexamp1ed number OF
cars during the latter part Of the sea

death by falling into a sewer manhoIe

withhold thousands of cars from the
grain-shipping business for a consid-
cradle length of time.
Coke shipments from the east are
also greatly behind and this product
will have to be moved to the consum-
ing points, thus taking large numbers
of cars away from the coal trade. The
exigencies of bushes son any line of
railroad will influence the routing of
cars in a great degree. and 1t may
thus happen that thousands of cars
on the grain roads may return to the
west empty when they should carry
coal, coke or other products in the
great scheme OF distribution. On the
other hand, the coal roads may have to
hurry back their empty c~rs to the
mines instead of letting them come
east loaded with the products of the
farms. In either case there will be
an economical loss through the en-
forced idleness of cars for several
days on each trip.
On this ccoun it will be necessary
to fill all the coal bins early in the
season If would be safe. for
when the time comes that demand far
exceeds the supply the consuming
public will have to suffer and prices
may soar upward. The railroad and
coal companies are urging their cor
respondents to use their utmost en-
deavors to get freights in early. The
coal dealers are also urging their Gus
toners to take their supplies early so
that the first shipments of coal may
be out of the way of the later invoices
If all will act on this ad-
vice there is no reason to fear a short
age of hard coal next winter. If the
advice is not headed the careless ones
may have to pay the penalty by going
without coal or paying very high
prices for 1t.
