War and Greed Boost Prices

War and Greed Boost Prices
As important contributing causes to
the situation, the European war and
greed of the larger independent pro-
ducers Of coal are blamed by dealers.
The war, il is pointed out, stimulated
exports. and increased home industrial
activity, while it decreased labor by
hating immigration. The independent
dealers, as distinguished from the
larger companies. controlled by the
so-called coal roads, were generally
accused of breaking contracts and
playing consumers against one another.
This action of the independents has
left some of the wholesalers, who de-
pended upon them, short of supplies,
and has placed large industrial con-
Germs which thought they were safe
guarded by contracts. in position
where they are compelled TO 20 into
the open market and bid for supplies.
At the same time those wholesalers
who sought to meet the increased de-
mands upon them by buying from in
dependents have found little or no
coal to be had at anything near nor
NAL prices.
Warning Against Panic
The view of the situation held by Mr..
Sayward conceded with that of George
H. Cushing, of "The Black Diamond
trade publication.
Despite the reputed shortage OF la
Dor the reports of the United States
Geological Survey for last month show
shipments of hard coal o. 49,930,000
long tons, as against 4s.566,000 in the
month of a year ago.
This increase, however, is explained by
coal men as being possible because of
the large amounts of coal which had
been stored in anticipation of coal
strike last spring. This surplus, it Is
asserted, is now pretty much exhausted.
So far the weather has been in favor
of the consumers of coal for household
purposes. Those who were paying S12

last years bills that the price was $685.
6 ton. A month ago $3.50 was the rul-
ing price.
These people, according TO the retail
coal men, are in better position than
are the owners of large hotels and
apartment houses and Office buildings
which, no matter what the weather at
this season, must use much fuel. The
small consumer may have a small sup
ply on hand, these larger consumers
live from hand TO mouth.

Plunge Through Bridge Into Swift Stream Had Emptied the Batteries

When a North Carolina mountain stream is taken with a sudden, insane if of temper, motorists, pedestrians all people, movable property, live stock, everything-will do well to give the erstwhile gentle brook a wide, wide berth.
 Commodore Ernest Lee Jahncke of New Orleans, who has his summer res idence at Asheviile, N. C., abides by the above rule, but he got caught in a storm recently, on a trip from Ashe- vile to Toxaway. He was obliged to cross a small bridge. The stream, with vicious cunning, had so weakened the foundations that the bridge was fairly a trap for Jahncke and his touring car.
 When the automobile was fairly on the bridge, the structure gave away. The car turned over and disappeared, leaving only part of one rear wheel and a fender showing above the tur- bulent water Mir. Jahncke was obliged 10 swim desperately to get away.
 This accident occurred at two III 'and with the help of farm hands and a good pair of oxen, We were able to get the machine out of the creek, as the water had receded enough in a few hours to enable us to work. When we lighted it, much to the surprise of myself and the onlookers, I tried the car and the machine actually started {! However. when the car turned over, the batteries were emptied, and we knew we would need distilled water to replenish them. This seemed a knotty problem until we thought of two bottles of pop which had stayed in the machine. We poured the con- tents of these two bottles into the bat tery.
 At nine o'clock that night we were back home, having made the trip of 60 miles with our own power"
