THINKS SOFT COAL
SUFFICIENT FOR US
And That Community Should
Allow Others to Use Anthracite.

Some days ago Local Fuel Admins
tator e. c. Henshaw understood the
National Administration would issue
ruling that anthracite, or hard coal,
should not be shipped to this local
'ty. He Immediately took up the mat
ter with Mr.. L. A. Snead at Wash.
ington, demonstrating, and stating
that Martinsburg was almost as far
from coal mines as Washington and
that nearly all of the heating equip
ment and stoves in this community
were prepared for hard and not soft
coal. In answer to his appeal Mr..
Snead addressed him on the subject
in recent letter as follows:
Replying to your letter Of January
10th, in connection with the anthra-
cite needs of your county
"The anthracite coal which IS NOV
ed into West Virginia this year, as
compared with last and generally
into the various communities Of West
Virginia has been considerably great

States have had their fair share Of

there are sections in this country
like New England which have not re-
ceived their fair proportion and where
the weather conditions are such that
domestic fuel is acutely needed and
where anthracite IS the only coal
practically available for domestic pur-
poses. 1t is felt by the Administra-
ton that in a county like yours bit
luminous coal should be used this
winter for household purposes even
to the extent of considerable incon-
yenience and that certainly fuel is
available SO that suffering can be a
yoided and so that the anthracite
coal may be moved in the portions OF
