A personal tour of investigation was
made OF many of the coal yards Of
the city yesterday by John L. Weav-
er. District fuel administrator to
show why. with hundreds of carloads
OF fuel in local freight yards. peo-
pie lack coal.
Coal is arriving In the District at
the rate of 100 carloads day. Any
shortage Is entirely the fault OF the
dealers in failing properly to handle
and distribute the commodity, say
fuel administration officials.
1t is possible that final action against
the dealer who was called before
Mr.. Weaver Wednesday, charged with
violating regulations promulgated by
the administration, will be taken to-
day. Unless the dealer can show
10 the satisfaction OF the District
fuel administrator that he has obeyed
the law, he will be forced out Of
business at once.
Reports have been received by Mr.
Weaver of the violation of the regu-
lations by other dealers in various
sections OF the city, and wherever
investigation brings sufficient evi-
dence. strong action will be taken.
Charges that dealers are holding
up all possible sales of coal and fuel
until the new price scale has been
announced. so that they may enjoy
any increase granted in as great
measure as possible. have been
