Fhe Contemporary History Of Coal

price o! coal remained at the market
Of about Sc a ton, and large con-
sumers postponed purchases. The re-
suit was that there was no movement
Of coal during the three summer
months when the railroads formerly
made a diHcrcntial rate. Deliveries by
the railroads in large quantities thus
were began three months later. 1t is
this delay which has made difficulties
all winter and which is likely to prove
embarrassing until the cold weather
breaks.
Or. Garfield told the Senate sub
committee yesterday that he expected
to be able to save enough coal through
the fourteen day shutdown 20 make
up for the shortage. He said the total
shortage had been about 5O,0O0,OO0
tons, but through conservation meas
ures, plus the fourteen days of idle
ness, he hoped to make that entire
amount good. He approxmated the
amount of coal which would be saved
by the fourteen day closing order at
about 100000 tons.
It has been estimated from this

pared with those OF last year, and
allowing for the normal increases, as
indicated in the carly months CT THIS
