Congressman Heating
Speaks Of Coal 81

The following is what Con-
gresham Heating has to say OF
the coal situation in Washington.

"On the theory that misery
loves company Coloradoans may
be interested to know that a
Washington newspaper within
the last week sent its reporters to
scores of coal dealers and offered
as high as SEQ for a ton of coal
without being able to get q

"The great West Virginia and
Pennsylvania coal fields arc
within easy hauling distance Of
the Nations Capitol and coal
should be very cheap here.
mo one has offered a satisfac-
tory explanation of the situation.
The story Of the reporters expcr-

Federal Fuel Administrator, and
relief is promised.
Il have placed the Colorado
coal situation before the Wash

that the price to consumers be
reduced $3.50 a ton. This result
could be brought about by cut

The mess hall was decorated up

And before our eyes was turkey.

We bowed our heads and gave our

Amen.
Then the big feed started, We
didn't know where to begin.
