yesterdays consultation. 1t was said
at the Treasury Department that this
firm is in no worse shape than other deal
ers.
The Postofice Department uses hard
coal and is not in as difficult a position
as other departments.
No definite plans were made yesterday,
as 1t was decided that the best course
have reported on their needs and sup
plies
It was learned that semi-official IN
quiries had been addressed to all the
largo dealers in the city for prices on
quantities of coal in the event that gov
ernment contractors were unable to meet
the terms of their agreements. The re-
sponse of the dealers was that there was
no coal to be had except a hundred tons,
which one dealer reported selling to the
Treasury Department, and a carload sold
in the open market to the District gov
ernment
Should the coal shortage become more
pronounced It may be necessary to close
the Federal office buildings.
1T Is Just as well to be frank about
the situation" declared Mr. Wilmeth al
the conclusion OF the meeting. "A seri-
Gus condition exists. Cold weather is
coming on ana there is not enough coal
in the city to meet any copsiderable
part Of the demand. The shortage is 90
casioned by the scarcity OF railroad cars"
Every effort is being made to get roll
ing stock sought from the railroads, but
the Federal departments have no definite
assurances of relief.
District Building officials are more op-
timistic. The threatened closing of the
schools yesterday was narrowly averted,
but during the day a carload OF coal was
bought, which will keep the fires burning
until Monday. The fact that the schools
are closed today and tomorrow is OF con-
siderable help. A large shipment due
yesterday is said to be sure to arrive
before Monday.
