COAL SHORTAGE GETTING
SERIOUS.

The coal situation is beginning
to get very serious in this country,
and unless the prevailing strikes
at the coal mines are called off,
many New Iberians may run short
as the railroads are confiseating
cars for their own use and there
is no recourse. We reproduce be-
low letter addressed to Mr.. Max
Levy which is self-explanatory:
II have before me your favor
Of the 2sth, advising your car has
been confseated by the Y. & NJ.
Railroad. We naturally regret
this very much, as we do not know
when it will be possible for us to
replace same. We shall cut the
ar out Of your account, billing
against the railroad, and you may
destroy lnNOlce,
At the present time, as you pos
sibly know, we have a strike on at
our Illinois mine as well as Ala
bama mine. So long as this con
dition prevails, we nor anyone else
will be able to deliver coal on
commercial orders. This for the
reason that all of the railroads in
the Southeast are depending en-
tirely upon Kentucky for their
fuel requirements, and this nat
urally will more than take care
of the entire production. just as
soon as this condition is over !
will be pleased to take up with
You with a view of supplying
your needs. You might place
your order with us at this time
for what coal you feel you will re-
quire TO be shipped out of our
Kentucky mine and we will I'M
dertake to place order at the very
best we can do at the prevailing
price at time of shipment. This
il the only thing we can do for
you just at the present time.

Steam Laundry to be ReOpened.
New Purchaser to have Plant Running by
August 9Th.

A newcomer who will cast his
lot with us and become identified
in a business way is Mr.. H. K.
Bushnell Of Waco, Texas. Mr..
Bushnell this week purchased out
right all of the equipment and
machinery Of the Sanitary Laun-
dry owned by Mayor Sealy, which
has been idle for several months.
The gentleman is a practical ma
rhinist and has had experience in
the laundry business at different
places. In few days, however,
several skilled laundrymen will
arrive here to assist in the man
agement. This plant. like here
tofore will give steady employ
ment to between fifteen and
twenty persons and our citizens
are glad to know that the wheels
of this industry will soon be in
full force again. New iberia
