cessful step in combating the general

Even If the present paralysis OF bust

Presumably the government having

Nation Wide Shortage.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Unless some
step is taken at once to relieve what
amounts to a nation wide shortage Of
coal, thousands OF homes will not
have heat to ward off winters chill
and the wheels Of industry may be
slowed.
A canvas Of the situation conducted
today by the United Press revealed
this grave situation almost everywhere
in the country. An acute shortage is
expected within the next two weeks.
Detailed reports follow:
New York-All dealers report short
age: prices increasing; fuel admins
tration named special agent to de-
wise means Of ameliorating. Many
apartment house owners declare they
are completely without coal.
Cleveland, Ohio-Shortage expected
to be temporarily relieved as result of
an order holding 20 per cent Of all
Ohio mined coal on one day for use of
Ohio consumers. Many factories work
ing on day to day fuel basis.
Boston, Observation-Disclosures arous-
ed by increasing shortage and may cut
factory hours in an effort to conserve
/ the supply.
New England's shortage by January
first predicted to be six million tons.
Detroit, Mich.-Factories hard hit
by increasing inability to get even
small amounts of coal Forty thous'
and homes without coal Mayor re,
ceived petitions from 10000 citizens
asking for aid Some coal for heating
distributed.
St Louis-Estimate present supply
of coal sufficient for only three days
! If strike Of southern Illinois miners
continues beyond that time much suf
| fering is feared here. All st. Louis
supply comes from the Illinois fields.
| Chicago-Sudden cold wave caused
intense suffering due to gravely ser
| ious shortage of fuel. Shortage al
ready estimated at 100000 tons
Even hospitals keeping warm only on
day by day acquisitions for coal.
! Atlanta, Ga-Fifty thousand tor
