CUSHING
Says Plenty OF Coal
Msn.sins Director Of Fuel As.osis.
ton Assert. Report Of impend-
ing Shortage Unfoanded.

Washington. -Assurance Of an
adequate supply Of coal to meet all
domestic requirements during the
coming months was given recently
by George II. Cushing. managing di-
rector Of the American Wholesale
Coal Association. who declared in q
statement that reports Of an impend-
ing shortage was unfounded. The
public. he said. Is panic stricken with
out reason or excuse
There is no shortage Of coal. .
Mr. Cushing stated. There is no
danger Of any such shortage There
fore there Is reason but no excuse.
for the current high prices in the open
market. The reason Is that we have
had 100 much governmental agitation
Of the danger 81 famine"
Prices, MIR. Cushing said have
reached the highest peace-time level
in history because those who need
coal are "frantically bidding against
each other in every market"
Declaring that he had investigated
nearly every alarmist report, Mr.
Cushing asserted that mot one Of
them will stand scrutiny or analysis.
He predicted that the consumption
Of bituminous coal during the coal
year" beginning last April |. would
not exceed $50. OOO.O 600 tons-I0.-
2Ss. 900 tons week.
The present assumption" Mr.
Gushing continued. rs that unless
we reach this week consumption in
the early weeks Of coal year We are
running headlong into shortage Of
coal. That has not been true in
twenty-five years II is not true this
year.
The statement also declared un-
founded "alarmist reports that New
England. New York and Chicago had
in storage only two days supply
Of coal"
