SHORTAGE IN COAL
DUE TO HOAROING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Announca-
uent has been made by the Federal
Fuel Administrator that if any short
age of domestic coal exists it is due
to individual boarding and may re-
suit In redistribution by the Fuel Ad-
ministrator The production of an
thracite coal for the present year will
be 10 per cent in excess of 1916, but
the demand is also greater.
The Fuel Administrator has in for
nation and is conducting a general
inquiry into the storing of coal by in
dustrial consumers and various manu-
featuring Establishments and is prepar-
ed toact if need be.
The Fuel Administrator proposes as
harvest of natural ice as a means of
saving coal. 1t is pointed out that
100000 tons of coal are used an
nually in American ice factories and
refrigerating plants. The winter sea-
son manufacturers each year could
harvest billions of tons of ice. without
expense to man. Each ton of natural
ice which is harvested will take the
place of ton of artificial oce and will
save 500 pounds of coal.
DR. Garfield, the Fuel Administrator
will take up with the ice companies,
plans for cutting and storing greater
amounts of natural ice this winter
than ever before. In addition, every
householder, storekeeper and farmer
who can obtain ice from nearby rivers
and ponds and store it for use next
summer will be urged to do so.
The organization of the $500 ice
making plants of the country along
lines of fuel economy is receiving the
attention of the Fuel Administration.
If this industry were concentrated in
one-third of these plants the coal saw
ing would be enormous. The con-
solidation of refrigrating plants wiuld
give a like result. 1t is estimated
that in New Orleans alone such re
organization wiuld save 100 tons Of
coal day:
