Kansas Faces Another Goa
Shortage This Winter.
GuilfOrd Dudley, Local Dealer,
Says Outlook Bad.
No COAL CARS TO Be HAD
Eastern Cities Already Hard
Hit, He Reports.
Federal Control Put Santa Fe
Five Years Behind on Cars.

Il may be pessimistic but to the
best of my belief. Kansas is in for
another winter of coal shortage" said
GuiIford Dudley. of the McCleary-
Dudley Lumber company, today.
-'At one time last week, the city Of
Philadelphia, in the heart of the east
ern coal district had only enough coal
to run the municipal boilers for two
days The reason for the shortage of
coal in the east is the same as our
reasons here in Kansas-no coal cars.
The transportation and terminal facili-
ties are the worst in many years, and
unless they improve greatly in the
next few months, I am afraid some Of
the industries in Kansas will have to
close down in order to give enough
coal to the public to keep from freez-
Ing"
Worse Than Last Year
Dudley believes that unless coal
cars are found soon that the state
will be in worse straits the coming
winter than last year.
I'VE are already getting some of our
coal orders from Colorado in box
cars" said Mr. Dudley, "and that Is
better than Arkansas can do. Opera
tors are still shipping us coal from
Arkansas that we have had ordered
since April and May.
LAS long as the transfer of coal
cars for freight cars is done between
the western and southern divisions of
railways, thereby taking the cars out
of the coaling region, Kansas will not
get enough coal, and y e will get ship
ments car by car just like we have
been getting them for the last two
months. Why, most years we can
hardly hold back our shipments, while
this year We have to beg for them.
The directors of the mines in Kansas
City throw up their hands when you
ask Tor the delivery of your orders and
say they'll send them as soon as pos
sibie. Possible is generally three or
four months"
The Topekan who gets his coal laid
in this summer is lucky, according to
Dudley. The McCleery-Dudley peo-
pie have back orders of coal on their
books at the present time that they
are slowly filling.
1T isn't the mines. and it isn't the
lack of coal. The blame rests en-
tirely with the railroads, and even
they can't help it. The government
wrecked the coal cars" said Dudley
