WITHOUT ITS COAL
Dealers Express Opinion Supply
Will Be Less Than Demand
MANY CUTTING ORDERS
Factory Officials Decide Not to Close
During Hot Weather Unless EN-
Suit Friday Morning.

tSu1t Eiudy Morning.
Local coal dealers are of the opin-
| ion that the supply of coal this year
will be much shorter than in previous
years All of the local dealers have
/ coal enough at the present time to,
supply little more than one-half of
their custom ers. The orders that
were given to the dealers two or three
months ago have been nearly all fill
ed. Some of the local dealers made
arrangements with their customers to
supply about one-half of the regular
order. In some cases where regular
customers have been in the habit of
receiving ten tons of coal for the
winters supply the dealers have cut
the supply to seven tons. The schools
must be furnished with a sufficient
amount of coal for the year before
supplying the customers If possible.
Factories VIII Not Close.
Most of the factory officials have
decided to run their factories during
the extreme summer heat this year
and will follow the same plan as last
year The factories will operate dur
ing the heated spell as long as the en-
ployes wish to work. In all cases of
the men employed in the factories do
not think they are able to stand the
heat they may take time off. The
Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co., has de-
cided that It's factory will operate
unless the heat is too extreme.
