FREER MOVEMENT OF
COAL PREDICTED

Philadelphia. Jan. IA statement issued
mittee says that coal should now move
more freely to ali points OF consumption.
under the orders issued by the director
general Of railroads. After explaining
that the hard coal shipments for the first
II months OF 1917 were 16 per cent. greater
than in the same period of 1916, the state
ment says:
War Conditions Responsible
lone prime reason for the current short
age of anthracite is the new, large AMI
abnormal but under the circumstances,
imperative demand from the government
for the army cantonments and other
needs.
War conditions have caused a great
, influx OF population from the rest of the
country into the anthracite consuming
territory. adding greatly to the demand
for hard coal. II is estimated the popula
ton OF Philadelphia increased in the las
year by hundred thousand or three
times the normal increase, and as a re-
suit there is now a pressing housing prob
lem.
Under ordinary circumstances quite
three-quarters of the marketable output
of anthracite is consumed in Pennsylva
MIA. New Jersey. Delaware ana New Eng.
land. 1t is in this territory that the wal
Industries are primarily located. so it viii
lie seen that the shifting of population
