REASONS FOR THE
SCARCITY OF COAL

Atlanta, Feb. 15.-That numerous
FACTORS besides the shortage of cars
nave entered into the coal famine
now threatening Atlanta should an
other cold wave come on the heels OF
the recent succession of billiards. is
the statement furnished to the com
mission on car shortage in Washing
ton by President Charles A. Wicker.
sham, of the General Managers As.
sociation OF the Railroads of the
Southeast, and concurred in by the
Atlanta Chamber OF Commerce after
IA thorough investigation of the stu.
alton.
Careful inquiry discloses:
First, that the scarcity of foreign
and other labor at the mines has cur
tailed the output of coal.
Second, that the north and west
are buying unprecedented quanti-
ties Of coal in the Allegheny district
and paying higher prices than south
orn dealers.
Third, that the recent extraordin.
ary cold weather in the south. ex.
tending as far, down as Florida, has
caused an enormous and sudden in
crease in coal consumption in this
territory.
BY paying advanced prices, how
ever, the Atlanta dealers have been
able to secure enough coal to make
deliveries, and hence it seems Ger
tain that the heavy consumption of
coal in the north and west is prin-
cipally responsible for coal scarcity
and high prices in the south.

suited in advance they will trumpet

will not dream of the trouble that the
elephants had while the picture was
