hired tug, however, and made a
sounding of the harbor and found one
place where a boat could lie up and
then arranged that it should have
winter headquarters at Detroit They
anchored this vessel eighteen feet
from the dock and arranged to I'M
load 1t by using locomotive crane.
Inside of forty-eight hours that boat
was in its place and something like
1900 tons had been transferred to
shore and were in the bins of con-
sumers who needed that coal. At the
time he spoke, 5000 tons had been re-
moved, leaving about 1000 tons IN the
hold of the vessel.
/, Although they made arrangements
for two cargoes of anthracite coal to
be delivered at Detroit, the state fuel
administrator, seeing that the jobbers
were getting credit for relieving De-
troit and that he was being left out,
decided that the jobbers should not
handle this coal. AS a consequence
he boats lay in the Detroit river for
two weeks without Detroit getting
any coal and finally mass meeting
of citizens was held to condemn the
state fuel administrator and to insist
that the jobbers should handle this
coal and move it. They proceeded to
do so.
Mr.. Dubois then went on to explain
how Detroit is now organizingf
terminal pool, built after the plan of
the Cleveland pool and he expects it
to be in operation at once, setting the
date as January 10.
In response to a question Mr.. Du-
Bots said that the jobbers got their
fifteen cents ton on contract coal
which they had turned over to the
fuel administrator, but did not make
a penny out of handling the coal that
was received from the Russell yard
and elsewhere and probably would
lose money on the 1O,0OO-ton cargoes
for which they had advanced $4,000
and did not make a cent out of the
handling of the two cargoes of an
thracite coal.
