AN OUTRAGEOUS BUSINESS

At the first brush of winter the country has on its hands what is
most to be Notwithstanding of fuel supply. What is more it
is, apparently, a shortage without necessafy1eason or excuse. The
coal is in the ground to be mined. There is no strike in progress
sufficient to affect the supply. In fact, admits the Journal Of Com
merce, there is no shortage of coal per Sc. It merely a shortage
of miners and transportation" -. @
This situation, according to the trade journal, has been aggra-S
waited by the fear of the consumer. Hounded on all sides by high
prices and runors of famine in this and that, his imagination, re-
spending to the report of a shortage in coal, leads him tosa wild
riot of apprehension. He tries and all his neighbors tries to lay in
