Indiana communities are without ade-

and the coal dealers in the communi-

mission in regard 10 coal supplies In
the hands OF dealers. The dealers also
were asked whether they would accept
coal procured fer them BY the commits
sion and handle it at the 1925 ton
margin prescribed recently by the COM
mission.
Nearly all the letters call on tho
commission 10 provide coal and inul-
cate a willingness on the part or the
retailers to cooperate with the COM
mission. Fairly typical Of the spirit Of
cooperation is the following excerpt
from one letter:
