RULE FAVORS COALMAN
Dealers Need Not Deliver Prod
net i'm. Cellars

Some of the men who have so far
done no war work whateYer-and there
are quite few of them--may get some
beginning July I in the shape of the
task of carrying coal into their cellars.
The Federal fuel administration has
ruled that after July / coal companies
need not deliver coal in cellars, as
heretofore. but may simply deliver it on
thtS ground in front or at the rear of a
house. The purchaser must do the
rest.
Heretofore 1t has been the practice of
coal companies for a small additional
charge to carry coal into cellars in
baskets when it could not be ''chuted''
in But It is so hard to get carriers
that the companies are relieved of this
work.
Now the man whose coal has to be
carried must carry 1t himself or hire
somebody to do 1t and he will have just
as hard time hiring 1t done as the
companies have had lately.
