Frederick willenbrock OF the
Hencken and willenbrock Coal Com
pany, No. / Broadway, said: The
situation il very serious. Soft coal
has Increased over 81 q ton and It IS
likely to go a great deal higher or
even double in price. There are plenty
of cars loaded with coal over In New
Jersey and In fact all along the rail-
roads back to the mines, bat It seems
Impossible to get these cars to tide
water The terminals are congested
with shipments of ammunition.
Even with the coal at tidewater II
Is difficult to get Il across to New
York, because OF the scarcity OF
barges Rates are away up and this,
OF course. effects the price of coal.
New York IL absolutely at the mercy
OF such a situation because OF the lack
OF storage places on Manhattan.
The railroads explain the car short
age through the fact that they can
not get their cars unloaded when they
reach tidewater

More than sixty construction con-
tracts on subway jobs in the bor-

tho railroads for all their cement, steel

inforcod concrete alone averages 100.-
900 barrels a month on the various
underground Jobs. The supply Is used
almost as rapidly as It Is received.
About GOO railroad cars a month are
used In bringing IL here.
While there Is a small supply OF CO.
ment on hand. II was explained by
the Commission, It will be used up
very soon and unless new shipments
come in. all work in which concrete
enters will have to be suspended.
This means that practically every job
must shut down.
The item of steel Is also very i'm
portant, for the new subways are en-
tircly OF steel and concrete. Some OF
the contractors are reaching the end
OF their supply and unless shipments
from the mills continue to come in
regularly, this part Of the work will
also have to stop.
