coal to all householders, is still acute.

tration that about one-fourth the
homes in most cities have not yet re-
ceived any coal
The amount of untitled orders does
not appear so consoling. In view of
the large shortage in the output of
anthracite coal within the past four
weeks on account of the shortage of
labor incident to illness from FLU" !"
