the mines, on the basis that if there
were any real hardships threatened
in the places close to the mines, coal
could be rushed to those places in a
comparatively short time. Mr.. Fry
stated that the trade commission has
recently shipped into the northwest
United States and Canada 100000 tons
of anthracite coal. Mr.. Fry stated
that the conditions are becoming
worse every day. and that no relief
could be expected. He said that he
is just simply waiting to see what
will happen, as there is nothing the
dealers can do to relieve the situa-
tion.
Among the dealers seen this morn
ing who have no coal at all, are
Wierman and Wierman. White Hin,
and S. b. Leach. Lemoyne. The Fry
Coal Company has practically none,
while the United Ice and Coal Com
pany's supply is very low. McCreath
Brothers Coal and Wood Company
said it's supply is low. and the situa-
tion is serious. One dealer said he
thought he was summing up the sit
uation in the entire city when he
said he had about 10 per cent. as
much coal as he should have.
Frank Wallis, head of the Wallis
Coal Company, however. says this
morning that in his opinion the situ-
alton was not as bad as has been
supposed. He said he thought there
is plenty of coal in Harrisburg. and
that many of the people are well
supplied. He even stated that his
drivers say that they have trouble
getting coal into the cellars when
they deliver it, as the consumers al
ready have a fair supply. He even
predicted a slump in the coal mar
ket. His reason for the present
shortage is that the Reading Coal
Company, which says they have sup
piled Harrisburg we'll in the past,
has during the past month sent the
coal to regions which are not so well
supplied. This dealer stated that in
his opinion the whole trouble comes
from the unequal distribution of the
coal to the final consumer.
