AdequateSupp
Of Coal Assured

WASHINGTON, d. c., July g.
Assurance of an adequate supply OF
coal to meet all domestic require
ments during the coming months was
given yesterday by Geo. H. Cushing,
managing director Of the American
Wholesale Coal Association, who DE-
clared in a statement that reports OF
IN impending coal shortage were un-
founded. The public, he said, is PAN
ic-stricken without reason or excuse.
"There is no shortage of coal" +"
Mr.. Cushing stated. "There is no
danger Of any such shortage. There
is reason but no excuse for the cur
rnt high prizes in tn open market,
The reason is that we have had too
much governmental agitation of the
danger Of famine"
Mr., Cushing declared that for tbs
past eight months "there. has not
been day or even an hour when
some governmental agency was not
agitating about coal and predicting
famine" Prices, he said, have reach.
ed the highest peace-time level in his
tory because those who need coal are
"frantically bidding against each 9th
er in every market"

fairs"
Many newspaper correspondents are
quoted as calling the selection of Gov.
Cox "a blow to the White Hacse
Gov. Cox is regarded by some lews-

len, however, that this handicap can
be overcome by whirlwind campaign
methods.
