Coal Shortage Feared
As Result of Strike
1. X. T. Has Only Weeks Supply
on Hand and Little Coming
In; Food Prices Not Coing In

The harbor tie-up will result in a
serious coal shortage if the delivery of
coal is delayed during the coming
week, public utilities officials declared
yesterday. The reports of the pres
ence OF a serious shortage at present
were secuted, but it was admitted that
lengthenlng of the strike period will
nave damaging results, both on the
transportation and lighting of the CITY.
The transit companies and the gas
companies carry approximately one
weeks supply in reserve. The report
that not pound of coal has been
moved from Perth Amboy, South Am
boy or Port Reading since Friday
means that part of this reserve is ex-
hausted.
According to Frank Hedley, general
manager of the Interborough ~'apid
Transit Company, the subway and ele-
vated service Is not in danger of cur
tallment at present.
we are not worrying yet" Mr.. He'd
ley said last night, "but we might be
placed in an uncomfortable position if
the strike should continue. Our coal
deliveries have by no means been dis
continued, but they have been reduced.
The lnterborough has a coal reserve
OF $4,000 tons, about weeks supply,
on hand. Very little Of this has been
used during the present emergency"
rumor was current yesterday that
the companies supplying the city with
gas are being hard pressed because of
the holding up of deliveries. This
could not be confirmed.
Peter H. Amor, president Of the Re-
tail Grocers Association, said it was
fairly easy to obtain pcrishables yes
terday, but that the supply is dwin-
ding: There is only scant surplus of
perishables in the city, he said, and
consumers might be forced to rely on
canned goods within a few days.
The prices of foodstuffs were steady
yesterday, despite the growing demand
above supply. Food experts said this
might be ascribed to the little trading
done because of the holiday, but they
also said wholesalers and retailers are
not taking advantage Of the situation
to boost prices.
Officials of retailer dealers associa-
tlons announced yesterday that in
present emergency as an excuse for
advancing prices.
ut would be folly for the dealers
to raise prices" Mr. Amor said, "be-
cause it would have permanent effect
in reducing their business total. AS
soon as consumers are apprised of an
advance in prices they stint their con-
sumption, with the result that the
money turnover is slower in each store
Besides this, the dealers are desirous
of cooperating with Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Arthur Williams in his
fight for a lower living cost, and they
are willing to make sacrifices to kecr
the prices within reasonable bounds

American Federation Of Labor, and
other leaders endeavored to quiet the
men, so they could show them the ne
cessity of living up to their agree
ments. But the men refused to so
much as consider a proposition to re-
turn to work
Locals to Take Vote
1t finally was agreed that the ques-
tion of returning to work should be
taken up by the locals here and that
they should report their action at q
later meeting Of all the strikers. Mean
while, there is every indication that
the strike will continue.
An appeal from Samuel Gompers urg-
ing the men to go back to work was
read at the meeting.
Mr.. Gompers, in his message, pointed
out to the strikers that they have been
striking in violation of one of the
fundamental principles Of the Ameri-
, can Federation of Labor, and that their
agreement to abide by the decision of
the National Adjustment Commission
was a sacred contract.
The Port and Terminal Workers,
which includes the ferry workers. who
have tied up the ferry. TUG and lighter
service of the harbor since Friday, yes
terday turned down the suggestion of
the railroad officials that they go pack
to work pending an adjustment Of their
difficulties. At meeting in Jersey
City they voted unanimously to stay
out until their demands were taken up
and settled After notifying A. j
Stone chairman of the New York Rail
road Conference, of their action, they
sent telegram to Walker ID. Hines,
Director General of Railroads, at
Washington, requesting an audience.

tions will vote on the question at meet
ings tonight.
At the same time W. B. Pollock
Marine Director of the United States
Railroad Administration. announced
that q serious coal shortage was
threatening the city. No coal mas
arrived from Perth Amboy, South
Amboy, or Port Reading Tor the iast
five days. he said. Half the clty's
coal supply usually comes from these
ports.
Troops to Continue work
Government officials announced yes
terday that they were more than ready
to take care of all government vessels
that arrive from now on. Commander
David c. Shanks, in charge OF the
Port of Embarkation, said that ten
vessels were taken care of solely by
army and navy workers yesterday,
that there were 500 government troops
on hand at Hoboken to do Federal
work, and that 1000 more were eA-
pected from nearby camps to-day.
The refusal of the port and terminal
workers was embodied in communlca'
ton to Mr. Stone, in which the ferry,
men denied the charges of the railroad
head that they had broken contract
and insisted on having their grievances
adjusted before they would return te
their jobs. They asked Mr.. Stone tc

COMMISSIONER CARTER
/. OPPOSES INSTALL|NG 6
PUMP PLANT ON CADOO

Notwithstanding 1t was tactically
agreed at the meeting of the city com
missioners Friday night that pumping
plant should be installed and connected
with the ArdmorelIickory creek pipe
line, AT the point where the ilnc CROSSES
Caddo creek, for the purpose OF securing
q temporary additional water supply Tor
Ardmore. Commissioner Carter has
served notice upon Mayor Freeman that
under no circumstances will he o. X.
any vouchers calling for the disburse'
ment of moneys for this purpose.
Nh. Carter. who was made the water
commissioner AT the reorganization OF
the city board some days ago, states In
an interview that he was prompted in
making this decision by the belief,
gained after "a thorough investigation
of all conditions that It would take at
least 80 days to build the necessary
foundations and move and install the
boiler and pump preparatory to getting
the water through the pipe line into
the city lake. and that II was less than
an even chance that Caddo creek would
be totally or approximately dry by that
time
In making this statement Mr.. Carter
said that the past history of the water
supply at Caddo creek substantiates his
opinion that in less than 30 days, unless
we have frequent rains in the INTERIM
that little stream viii be as dry as war
time prohibition and that, therefore
both the time and money expended to
/ installing the pump and boilers VIII pe
wasted.
Commissioner Carter authorizes the
statement that he was placed 1T the
head of the water and sewer depart
ments of Ardmorc in the recent reor'
ganization of the board, With instruc
! tlons to use every effort ana employ
/ every possible means to complete the
pipe line and have the water flowing
/ from Hickory creek through the water
mains of Ardmore in the shortest time
possible commensurate with good con
struction, and that in view of this TACT
he does not care to he handicapped ty
a lot of other matters which he deems
! It unwise to consider.
He makes the further statement tha'
in 30 working days he expects TO have
line from the point of intake at the
Hickory creek dam into the Ardmor'
city lake and that, this being the case
he can find no Legitimate reason au
thoriZing the expenditure, IN round mum
bers of $4,000 of the taxpayers money
in installing a pumping 3lant on u Greer
which has already proven dismal fail
ure as a dependable source of watel
supply.
The site of the Hickory creek dam
Mr.. Carter says, has been rNeyed ant
lumber and other material for the con
struction of the dam is already on tn
ground and with all things moving aloni
well, the dam will be completed by tn
time the pipe line reaches the point o
intake. The crossings at Caddo AM
Henry House creeks have been com
