BITUMINOUS COAL
SHORTAGE IS MYTH,
DECLARES OPERATOR
Association President Testifies
Production Is at High Pitch
and SuPptytIs Ample.
[By Associated Press. I


NEW YORK. Nov. I'D. II. Wentz,
OF Philadelphia, president of the Ma
ticnal Coal Association composed of
bituminous coal operators, declared
there was no shortage of bituminous
coal in the United States in his testi-
mony here today before the United
States Senate committee on recon
struction and production, inyestigat-
ing the coal situation.
The production of bituminous
coal for the month Of October, 1920,
is practically the same as for Octo-
Der. 1915" he said. "At that time
n tremendous effort was made to have
each miner mine all the coal pos
slble because Of the war. Tho tom
mage for october of this year. with
out any special effort, is about the
Same as 1913"
Mr.. Wentz said there is such ga
great supply Of coal in New Eng
land" that many of the contractors
have stopped shipments on their con-
tracts. He also declared that both
spot prices and contract prices as
they are now are fair and reason
able.
He also testified that coal SHIPPED
to Europe Is being sold on q twelve
month contract for $3.50 a ton. He
was asked by Senator William e.
Calder. chairman of the committee,
why that price should not prevail
throughout the country, and he re-
piled that comparatively small per-
centage of bituminous coal goes to
Europe

action that will bring about an I'm

yesterday afternoon his intention to
SEND message to the City Council

ments OF the Code of Virginia and

The Mayors message will ro 70
the Board OF Aldermen, which meets
III regular monthly session next

ton Mayor Ainslie said:
Mayor Discusses Situation.
The Code provides that who, :,
United States census or other omc;,,
census has shown that tho ponu,o
'toh or any one ward exceeds the
population OF another ward in city
oy S.ooo It shall bc the duty OF the
CITY Council to redtstriet%the city or
10 so chango the ward lines as, to
eGualizc the population in tho manner
stated.
Il find that while Clay, Jefferson
and Madison Wards are within their
legal relation to each other in this
respect Lee Ward has acquired an
enormous additional population since
the ward lines were last drawn and
adopted, in 1912. Lee has 5000 more
population than Clay. More than
5000 greater population than Madi-
son. and more than 1000 greater than
Jefferson.
i shall direct the attention of the
Board of Aldermen to the matter In
message to be forwarded for next
Tuesday"
This action by the Mayor will end
the controversy over the rearronrc-
ment OF precinct lines. which Is neces-
sary to obviate congestion Mt the
polls. The duty OF the Council In the
matter OF providing adequate voting
iaciiittes Is made clear by the statute.
What Statute Provides.
