COAL SHORTAGE IS
WORSE in The NORTH

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 26.-That the
fuel shortage in eastern cities, and
even in Washington, is a great deal
worse than it is in Georgia, is the
information brought back here by At
lanta business men returning from
Washington, New York and other
cities. Coal in those cities is harder
to buy than it is in Atlanta and else
where in Georgia, while the weather
is a great deal colder.
William J. Harris, chairman of the
federal trade commission, who is now
iii in bed in Washington, has tele-
graphed to friend in Atlanta a state
ment dealing with this situation, and
vigorously replying to his critics who
are attempting to place on him the
blame of the shortage here.
Parties returning from The north
and east say the coal shortage in these
states is far worse than in Georgia.
the statement reads. Disappointed in
not being able to advance the price
Of coal to $15 and $18 ton, and re-
senting the efforts of the government
to protect the public by fixing prices,
Atlanta coal dealers and certain poll
ticians opposed me, realizing that am
the leading candidate in the senat-
tcrial race, are trying to blame with
the coal shortage in Georgia, while
everyone knows that the shortage in
other states is far worse l have in
every way, as member of the federal
trade commission, tried to protect the
public, and the people of Georgia will
not be fooled by the efforts of the poll
ticians and selfish coal dealers"

license tags were sold, and this year
