supply of coal with normal demand
Tor coal, was on hand and that If a
railroad strike were snnounced that
their supply would soon be exhausted.
When asked if strike were called, the
price of coal would advance. Charles
Potter stated that the natural ten
dency would be for the price of coal
to be higher.
The O'Donnell Coal Company stated
that they had from fifteen to eighteen
hundred tons Of coal on hand and that
that amount would take care of their
trade for about four to five weeks.
Unless we had other coal coming in,
We could not run for much longer than
a month" representative of that COM
pany declared.
The outlook at the Central Fuel and
Ice company was more encouraging.
I'VE have anticipated the strike and
have a quantity of coal on hand and we
have ordered more" it was said at the
office of that company. eve are very
hopeful that this strike will not De
called however. as it is quite likely
that -sg3 IN ie~'''e Sd;uetmett Rip be
made, their representative said.
eyes, the price OF coal would advance
slightly but not to great degree"
it was said at their Office at noon today.
Baldwin People All Set.
The Baldwin Coal Company is in
much, better condition to take care of
the fuel needs Of the city and it was
stated at the dock where the collier
Argo is unloading that the Baldwin
Coal company was well supplied with
both hard and soft coal and tn. in
case of a nation wide strike of raj Jad
workmen, Kenosha could be supplied
with coal obtained from Buffalo, New
York, via the lake steamers. The Ar
go came to Kenosha with fifteen hun
dred tons of hard coal which is in the
process of unloading at the coal dock
by the Simmons factory.
Hill Line Could Help. -
The Hill Steamboat Line would al
so be able to relieve the strike tension
in Kenosha if the fuel situation be-
came so that the city was in danger
of being in pinch for coal. "While
We have no GOLFERS in our string Of
vessels, it would be an easy matter to
get an option on a collier from an al
lied line of vessels to help relieve any
strike situation that might affect Ke-
nosha's supply of coal" it was stated
at the Hill Steamboat Line this morn
ing.
While the coal situation in Keno
sha would put the people on a coal
ration, it is not thought any person
would be in danger of freezing as the
situation would be such that coal
ration might be declared, the same
as is now used in Great Britain in
emergencies.
Food Supply IS Open.
The food supply in Xenosha would
be ample to take care of the people
in case of strike. it was said at the
Kenosha Wholesale Grocery this morn
ing. with three quarters of the food
consumed by thu public of Kenosha
coming from Chicago and Milwaukee,
and those sources of supply being
available by motor transport, North
Shore and the Hill Steamboat Line,
Kenosha has little to worry about
there not being enough to eat in
the city," Hans Brehm declared this
morning.
81 get letters daily from Chicago
and Milwaukee stating that the whole
sale dealers in those cities have an
ticipated the strike situation and are
storing vast quantities of foodstuffs
just to guard against any undue hard
ships on the public and for that rea-
son, the public need not be alarmed"
he said.
