COAL POURS INTO CITY
shortage IN Mystery ~. Dealers
shift Blame.

Coal shippers and dealers. Wholesale
and retail, were inclined 10 make much
mystery yesterday over the apparent
coal shortage existing in the city despite
the fact that the mines and the rail-
roads have been sending more coal to
New York this year than ever before.
The shipper passed the buck to the
wholesaler the wholesaler to the re-
taller and the retailer got angry when
asked for an explanation
The only suggestion Of rea son for
the scarcity of coal came from the heads
OF one Of the largest coal sales COM
panies in the East, who said that the
real trouble seemed to be unequal dis
tribution on the part Of the wholesalers
and retailers, which had enabled some
dealers and their customers TO lay in
much larger supplies than we're actually
needed for their present wants. with
the result that the small dealers and
consumers roar in vain for supplies.
No Tteup In Yards.
The railroad companies denied en-
phatically that coal is tied up on sidings
or yards In !Iew Jersey for lack OF
transportation TO the city. One railroad
coal company oniciA quoted the figures
collected by the Federal Government
which show that $4,000 more tons Of
anthracite coal came into New York in
the first seven months of this year than
during the same period OF 1915
This applies only to the coal used
by the householder" ne explained. But
although there 10 shortage Of bitumi-
nous caused by the strikes and conse-
quent decreased output OF the mines the
householder would not be affected. be-
cause anthracite OF domestic sizes is
not used for manufacturing. As q
matter Of fact even In the bituminous
coal the shortage 10 not as great At
might be expected, because the miners
by trimming and increased efficiency OF
operation have been able to get out
more coal with less labor. Anthracite
10 certainly coming to New York In
greater quantities than ever before. and
II there IL a shortage, as seems likely. II
must be because Of poor distribution on
the part OF the retailer"
This was the view also held by an Of
ficial of one OF the railroad companies
who professed himself unable to COM
prshend why there should not be enough
coal for every household In New York
