he Great Railroad Strike
And Its Possible Effect on
Your Coal Supply

Dakota is facing right now what may develop into the
most serious coal shortage and famine ever experienced.
1t all depends on what the railroads are able to do
during the next sixty days.
If the strike ends soon all may be we'll. If it lasts for
some weeks there is almost sure to be a coal famine.
l 1oresaw this some time ago and had coal rushed in
until my shed was filled full. Of course that won't last all
winter by any means but it will help some if everyone Of
my customers and friends will get one good load right
away.
We all hope the strike will end soon but remember that
there is now a serious shortage of coal at the docks-that
mine labor is scarce-that there are not enough cars to han.
die ordinary freight business now to say nothing of strike
troubles, so that even if the strike lasts only a short time
1t can and probably will make coal hard to get for some
time.
l don't know when I will get any more-depends on
what the railroads are able to debut l certainly advise
you to get at least one load right now while I can furnish if.
