ANXIETY AGAIN OVER
LOCAL COAL SUPPLY
Enough Leaves Mines, But Is
Delayed on Road by Freight
Congestion.

With a heavy snowstorm to interfere
seriously with railroad transportation,
the coal supply in Washington again is
giving Fuel Administrator Weaver and
the dealers serious concern.
The situation existing today is due
directly to the fact that the fuel admin
istration has not made good DIR. Gar
fields promise that Washington. should
have an average of 2,400 tons. of anthra-
cite day.
Mr.. Weaver yesterday addressed the
following letter to DR.. Garfield, with
the request that it be brought to the
attention of A. L. Snead, the national
fuel distributor:
Only 1,742 Tons Day Received.
IT beg to advise that receipts of
anthracite coal in Washington from
January u to January 10 aggregate
1892 tons. or Lac tons per day.
AS these receipts reflect the results
Of DR.. Garfield's recent order--2.4oo
tons of anthracite per day for delivery
for the use of the domestic trade Of
this city-this Office deems it advisable
to send you this information and in
vites attention to the failure of some
one to live up to DR.. Garfields order"
Enough Shipped, But Held on Road.
At Mr. Snead's office today it was said
that the mines had shipped regularly the
2,400 tons a day for Washington. but
that it had been impossible to get all of
it through the railroad congestion. The
accumulated difference between shipments
and receipts is somewhere between the
mines and this city and will be brought
on as rapidly as clearing Of the traffic
jam permits.
Three or four more days would have
been sufficient. it was said. to bring all
this coal to Washington. but as re-
suit Of todays heavy snow there will be
further delay. Bringing Of the coal now
depends on how soon it stops showing and
how seriously the fall blocks traffic.
