COAL SITUATION
BECOMING ACUTE
If Miners Demands Are Not
Granted, Production May
Be Curtailed.
FOREIGN SHIPMENTS
CAUSING SHORTAGE

Trouble looms ahead in the coal slt
uation, and danger threatens both at
home and from abroad competent To-
,al critics declare. II the demands OF
The coal operators are not granted by
ihe first Of next month, there will be
2 complete cessation Of production 'Or
many weeks because Of a general strike
OF the miners. But should these eV-
tortions be granted. the price Of cou
viii be almost doubled, and, because the
hours viii be shorter, there will DE
less coal mined this winter, despite The
fact that a famine already threatens.
Other observers see n coal crisis
through teh enormous demands likely
10 be- made upon this country by Eu-
ropean and other countries which in
the past have either secured their coal
supplies at home or In markets other
than those Of the United states. But
this year Europe alone calls for at
least 100000 tons, as against half this
in pre-war days, and other countries
VIII make additional heavy demands.
That the industrial reconstruction
OF the European countries largely de-
pends upon the willingness OF this
country to supply coal and CONNER
cial credits is generally admitted. But
because freight tolls amount TO 500
10 $50 a ton on coal that costs 81 at the
American mines. shipping can be used
more probably than in carrying this
coal across the Atlantic.
But while the sentiment OF The local
coal dealers seems 10 favor The ship
ment Of coal abroad for economic as
well as humanitarian reasons. they de-
plore the threatened curiailment Of pro-
ducllOn. which has already worked
considerable hardship on this country
and Will in an probability produce a
crisis before next spring. Consumers,
they say. will not pay $50 a ton for
their coal, and yet if The miners carry
their threats 10 the extent Of a nation
wide strike there will be no coal on
the market even at prohibitive prices.
