expects to get it. There are 1.2O0 tons
of coal in the bins of the Capitol today
and more are coming.
Government officials generally believe
there Is more scare than reality to the

On the other hand many local dealers

GREATEST SHORTAGE
LIKELY IN STEAM COAL
Mining Men Say Increase in Indus
trial Demand Is Larger Than for
Domestic Consumption.

Reports from mining centers indicate
that the greatest possibility Of a coal
shortage affects steam coal and not
domestic coal. Coal mine operators
contend that they have not been able
to keep their normal output going.
Miners have left work for better pay
in other fields; the car shortage situa-
ton has made it impossible for rapid
shipments. and scores of factories
turning out war munitions are running
double shifts, with a consequent in
crease in the amount of steam coal
used. Added to this tight situation
there has been a famine in coal abroad
and many manufacturer in this coun-
try has had to pay the export price.
In Italy coal has sold at $50 a ton.
The freight from New York to Genoa
is about s2s ton. leaving the cost Of
coal at s22 fob. New York.
Pittsburgh steel men say they expect
to pay fancy prices for their coal to be
delivered by contract next year. The
city OF Cheyenne, Wyo.. Is facing the
most serious coal famine in its history
owing to the threatened shortage on
the Nebraska division of the Union
Pacific railroad. Dispatches from that
city say there is absolutely no coal in

vate bins. a steam coal famine has
