Public Assumption Erroneous.
The present assumption" Mr..
Gushing continued, lis that unless
sumption in the carly weeks of the
coal year we are rushing headlong
into a shortage of coal. That has
not been true in twenty-five years
1t is not true this year. The records
of the coal trade are that with the
exception of 1917 and I91S-war
3ears-wc never reached in produc-
ton figure equal to the required
weekly average production until the
middle of August. This year we
reached it in the second week in
June. Thus. our production is eight
weeks ahead of schedule. That
doesn't look like an impending

The statement also declared IN
founded aiarmist reports that New
England, New York City and Chi
cago had il storage only n two days
supply OF coal. An investigation
made by the Presidents coal com
mission. according TO MIR. Cushing
showed that the total storage for
New England. exclusive of the rail
roads. was sufficient for thirty eight
days. and that the statement as to
conditions in New York and Chicago
was merely a wild guess"
