mates on which authorities had
based a net shortage of $4,000, 900
tons for the coming year. This
would seem to, indicate an increas-
ing shortage above 5O,OOO,OOO tons
for the country as whole.
The mostimportant thing that |
can say to the people of this state
is that North Dakota will face q
very grave fuel shortage during
the coming winter. We are going
to have to depend very largely
and at lines practically exclusive
ly, on Ignite coal.
The prospect of a bountiful crop
seems good. With similar pros
poets in Minnesota and South Da-
kota We will unquestionably have
a grave shortage of cars and con.
gestions of transportation in this
territory. Assuming that there
may be some storage of labor this
crop will move to Lake Superior
very slowly and very large part
of the crop will not be moved to
the Atlantic Sea-board over the
Great Lakes. 1t will therefore be
necessary to senda large volume Of
grain all rail to the Atlantic sea-
board for export to our allies and
for consumption requirements as
we'll as making similar shipments
for the consumption all over the
United States because of the low
stock of wheat -four, which will be
much lower next fall when the
grain is threshed. This all rail
movement Of grain will take large
numbers of cars out of this terri
tory. The imperative demand for
box cars for handling this wheat
will probably result in shortage
of cars for coal shipments from
Wyoming and Montana mines and
from the head of the lakes docks.
The Ignite mines of this state
will probably be the principal
source of supply next winter. They
cannot increase their output to
take care of this emergency un-
less they are kept busy at full ca
pacity this sumer. Many of our
Ignite mines are closed down and
others are operating at a small
proportion of their full capacity
at present. IF this condition should
continue during the sumer the mi
ners would not have an efficient
labor organization and they could
not increase their capacity to meet
the fuel emergensy which faces
this state next winter. 1t is there

for our people o substitute Ignite

"lo do SC word be to defeat m
a considerable measure the pur-
pose Of the liberty loans.
II am informed that many mer-
chants have advertised that they
would take liberty bonds of any
Of tho three issues in exchange for
merchandise. I do not think that
these merchants have intended to
interfere with the purpose Of the
librty loan in any way.
"But we haove sought to have
these bonds purchased for perma-
nent investment out of past or fu-
lures avings, such savings thereby
effecting conservation of both Ia
Dor and materials. To exchange
these bonds for merchandise or
services is to thwart the conserva-
ton features Of the Liberty loan
campaigns.
"The inadvisability of exchang-
ing government bonds for doubt
full securities needs no argument.
But they should not be exchanged
for securities of any kind. Practi-
cally all the substantial and repre-
sentative investment houses have
unselfishly aided in the Liberty

ceivable that after the magnificent
work of distributing government
bonds any effort should be made to
substitute other securities.

ONLY 80 PER CENT OF
COAL RECEIVED At DOCKS

Up to the present time the lake
docks at Superior and Duluth had
received only 30 p ercent of the
normal quantity of hard coal. The
receipts of bituminous cal have
been abut nrmal as compared with
a similar period last year, but
there is little or no accumulation
of coal on the docks at those ports.
Recently bats have been turned
away from the Lake Erie ports
without coal because there was no
coal on the lower lake docks to
load. On account of car shortage
and other conditions production
of bituminous and anthracite ioal

Il might not be made 5 o'clock instead
OF s o'clock.
Lawyer Harry Medinets whom the
Fuel Administrator attacked in his
opening remarks because he had Ques-
toned the Fuel Administrators au-
thority. in turn fired some hot shot"
at Ramsay.
Medinets stated that he was one of
the four minute men Of Perth Am
boy and was we'll known and that he
represented a number of merchants in
this city who wanted to know why
they had to close their stores at C
O'Clock and he felt that they had a
right to know. He said hat MIR. Ram
say had asked II he had bought Lib
erty Bonds and he would reply to this
that it was of record hat he had
bought Liberty -Bonds. He stated
Perth Amboy had gone over the top in
everything and was ready to do every
thing possible to help the government
but that he did not see why this city
should be made the goat" when
other nearby wi could keep open
as long as they liked and get the trade
from Perth Amboy.
why has not Perth Amboy received
its allotment of COAL" he asked. "If
Newark has their coal why not Perth
Amboy." for IL is a well known fact
AAaN liltS NiNN 10 a COdl CtAltT aIu there
is more coal passing through his city
in a day than through Newark in a
month. Something wrong ssome-
where" said Medinets.
This is a Democratic form of gov
eminent" said the speaker, land the
people have a right to know the why"
in this case.
The trouble in this case is that the
fuel administrators job for Middlesex
county is a big job and 1t takes a big
man to I'LL it."
In regards to the closing OF the
stores of Trenton Mr.. Medinets stated
hat he had made a special investiga-
ton there himself and found that the
merchants had asked to have the
stores open at 9 o'clock a. m. and
closed at 5 o'clock D. m. so that they
could save money but that the city OF
Perth ATnboy is n different city than
Trenton and that most of the men and
many women in Perth Amboy work in
the mills and factories and If they can
not buy goods at night in this city they
must go eleN~here and he did not
= this fair.
As o 10 as Mr.. Medinets had fin
ished. Mr.. Ramsay stated hat Mr..
Medinets was a dam" good speaker
ard must be looking for some political
office and at this point Mr.. Ramsay
left. although many others wanted to
make addresses and all seemingly
wanted TO know why Perth Amboy
had not received its allotment of coal
and who is responsible for the coal not
being sent hero.
Others who spoke and openly at
tackled the methods used by the Fuel
Administrator were Nathan Roth OF
Smith street and Philip Siskind OF
State street.
At this point the alderman passed
a resolution authorizing the commit.
tee of the whole to make an investi-
cation of the methods adopted by the
Fuel Administrator and sec IL a rem
