AGAIN FACES
SOFT I COAL SHORTAGE
Deficiency AS TO supply De
velops Earlier This Year Than
Ever Known Before
LACK OF CARS THE CAUSE

! Through lack OF transportation. cou-
pied with the increasing demand for
the product, shortage or bituminous
coal has developed earlier m the year
than ever before known in the history
.uf the soft coal trade, according to the
statement made by Jere II. Wheel
wright. chairman or the board Of di-
rectory 81 the Consolidation Coal Com
pany, one of the largest bituminous
coal producing concerns in the world.
Mr.. Wheelwright explained that the
primary canse for the shortage thus
early III the season could be attributed
to inability of the railroads to furnish
sufficient cars. the situation being az
grayated recently by the strikes which
occurred on many transportation lines
that tap the coal fields The broaden
fRg market for soft coal. which has
reached large proportions recently.
Mr.. Wheelwright says. has made far
less coal available for general users.
Cars AT Mines Short
.As an illustration Of the part which
transportation IS playing in the pres-
ent situation, declared Mr. Wheel
wright, since Monday last, the
car supply at our mines ia West vfr-
ginia has been only suficient to admit
81 production OF between SO TO IS
per cent. OF the total amount which
onr present forces are capable Of pro-
ducing. The SWitehmen's strike add
ed to the perplexities of the coal trade.
for on such roads as the Chesapeake
and Ohio practically no coal moved AT
some az the mines and our properties
III jenkins, KY, were also affected.
The idieness q the switchmea. of
course, made the car situation far
worse than ii would be otherwise

The Greatest Race In History.

With confidence now the country
can look for the first real attempt at
an oversee flight as the principal
sporting event Of early 1910 summer.
Comma nder TowERs. U. 8. ", has
been ordered" to take charge of
plans and assemble material and per-
sonnet for such an undertaking, and
an order to a United States naval
officer. as history 80 far has been writ
ten. has never been ignored.
The navy. 1t appears, has something
In it's locker in the way of seaplane
which navy experts are confident can
make the flight. 1t Is intimated that
this hurry up order has been issued
because Of the navy's eagerness to
make the flight before the hustling
British navy has snatched the honor.
American bettors are too sensible to
bet on sympathy, yet our guess 10 that
the odds will be on the Yankees.
