COAL DEALERS
Dine RAMSAY
Discuss Ways and Means OF
Securing Fuel Supply for
Winter Months.

The meeting Of the coal dealers OF
the city, called by the City Admins
traitor Oliver w. Ramsay. in the New
Packer House last night. resulted NOT
only in the planned meeting. but by
special arrangement the coal dealers
gave a dinner. or love feast in honor
Of the administrator.
Administrator Ramsay has become
very popular among the dealers in his
efforts to obtain the proper tonnage
of fuel for this city, II the dinner
was given to show their appreciation
of his efforts.
The meeting was held for the spe-
cial urpos of having the many deal
ers of the city back up the admins
traitor In his efforts with the anthracite
committed to obtain a tonnage of 3d.
900 tons of coal for the use OF the
city during the winter months. To
bring this about each of the dealers
turned over to Mr.. Ramsay a letter,
stating the conditions as they affect
him personally, and the local condi-
lions as they find them.
At the present time this city has
been allotted $4,000 tons of coal
which was the mount Of coal con-
sumed in this city in the year 1916.
Many OF the dealers have received
I their one-third OF this amount. But
as the actual demand at the present
time Is so, 700 tons, 1t is easily seer
that the city will suffer. IL the allot-
ment Is not raised before the cold
weather sets in.
In making the allotment of $4,000
| tons for the city by the anthracite
committee. the administrator said this
morning, that they had failed to take
into consideration the fact that during
that year, all the large manufacturing
plants of the city supplied fuel to their
employees. Nor has the committee any
record OF 5000 tons of coal which has
been delivered from year to year BY
what is known al the pirates. or mel
who got the sweepings and leaving'
from docks, boats and barges.
This business has been completed,
broken up" said the administrator
by the president of the Harbol
Board. James J. Mcguire and the New
York police.
