STOCK
SAID TO BE SMALL

PHILADELPHIA, March 2i.-Anihra-
cite coal operators are already hlntlng
0t coal shortage next winter
They are urging early buying by
householders TO forcstal any scarcity.
Here is a statement handed out to-
day by the anthracite operators COM
mitlee, with headquarters IN this city:
Prompt buying OF next winters
household fuel has been recommended
by the United STATES fuel administrators.
who has given warning that a coal
shortage next season Is quite possible.
There Is one way TO prevent a short
age. and that Is to buy coal now or In
the early spring. Anthracite mines are
working broken time and there are no
reserve stocks Of consequence az the
mines which can be drawn upon.
Conditions are approximating those
In 1917. when the consuming public
delayed purchases IN the mistaken
hope that there would be plenty Of
coal later on. The result was de-
luge OF orders In the midst Of Sc
we're winter when the efficiency OF the
mines was 40 the lowest, while cellar
bins were empty and many families
were suncring.
Anthracite Is used chiefly in winter
but the winters supply must be mined
over the whole twelve months OF ihe
year. February production was only
3s7i ,o32 tons. the lowest monthly iec-
ord for eighteen years, save three When
there were lrbor troubles and i.eie 900
tons less than the February shipments
OF last year. There is no assurance
that next winter VIII be mild, aud II
there Is failure 10 mine part OF the
needed SUPPLY now through lack OF or
dcrs, there is more than a possibility
that the mines will be unable TO make
,good this dCncit later on"
Progress has been made In the adjust
ment Of the Statewide coal situation,
according 20 Governor Sproul. The
result is that several additional confer
enccs between the Governor and the
coal operators will take place within
the next ten days.
The Governor said today he would
hardly make any announcement In con-
nection with the coal situation early
this week as was expected. Attorney
General Schaffer, who recently COM
pleted an independent Investigation. the
results Of which were given 10 the Gov
ernor. said that all discussion OF the
situation was 10 be made by the chief
executive.

yelop in the next ten days" said Gov
ernor Sproui at his home In Chester.
There are many elements In the
situation and each is worthy OF much
consideration An Investigation Is not
wanted II that course can be avoided.

item Of considerable expense. / be-
