NATIONAL COAL CRISIS
That Is What Is Threatened, Say
Washington Reports.

nat is Wnat is threatened, Gay
Washington Reports.
Washington, October 9-Impelled
by alarming reports of the coal sit
uation, President Wilson is giving
personal attention to that phase of
the war status. A national coal cris-
is may be at hand Reports of freez-
ing apartment houses and factories
closing down for want of coal in some
sections of the east are such as to
rouse the most earnest solicitude on
the part of the administration. Rail-
roads are reported to be confiscating
coal in many sections, in order to be
sure of having an adequate supply
for their own needs. 1t is feared
that the smaller towns which are off
the main railroad lines will be the
greatest sufferers in case of a coal
famine.
The price of coal has gone down
but little since the government took
over the regulation of that traffic and
fixed the profits that are to be al
lowed to the coal mine operators.
Fuel Administrator Garfield made
report to President Wilson today
on the subject He thinks the situa-
ton is painted in blacker colors than
the truth really justifies. He says
there is a general public hysteria over
the coal situation and that this hys-
terra is abetted by the coal mining
interests themselves, who are dissat-
isfied with the government policy OF
regulation of the coal traffic.
