Supply from Cumberland

That Washington will begin to feel the

dealers in the trade and others who ale
familiar with conditions. The city's SUP
ply Of coal from the Cumberland fields
has been practically shut off. The largest
company operating there, which has for
years supplied ninety per cent of the To-
cal demand, received almost no shipments
here from its mines last week, and the
prospects are not bright for any improve
ment in this condition.
The consumer up to this time has not

count of the mild weather; but the yards

The coal operators claim this condi-

impossible for them to get cars in which
to ship the coal they are taking from
the mines. These cars they assert, are
diverted from the mines to move war
munitions and other materials from in
terror points to the seaboard. This short
