NO COAL FOR IRON MEN.
Efforts To Put Bristol Furnace Blast
Being Made.

Bristol, Va, Aug. 16.-Iron manu-
facturers. eager to put the Bristol
furnace into blast are negotiating
with Southwest Nirgiania coal opera
tors for coal and coke. Prices have
gone SO high that the situation looks
discouraging.
Apparently the only hope for the
iron manufacturers would be 10 lease
coal lands and operate them One
difficulty in the way OF this however,
is found in the high price of materials,
particularly the extreme price OF fire
brick, the cost being almost prohibi
tive. Coal men say the price OF iron
has now reached a point TO enable
iron manufacturers to pay the high
price demanded for coal coke and
other materials The situation up to
this time is baking all efforts to de-
Velop iron here.
