OF COAL
IN THE STATE
Slate Railroad Commission
Making Inventory of Stock
on Hand

COlum bla, Aug. 9.-f1Ope OF gel
ting coal for domestic purposes
IN South Carolina was aroused to-
day when the railroad commission.
which is handling the fuel situation
throughout the state, announced
that the classification OF orders for
coal for domestic consumption
had been changed from Class to
Glass 2, which means that it will
have earlier consideration by the
mines in filing orders. The fuel
situation throughout the. state is
still regarded as serious, with not
enough coal being received TO take
care Of Imperative demands. The
railroad commission regards the
situation as verging on the critical.
The national fuel administration
has classified coal orders into five
groups. The first group Of orders
for railroads. The second class is
for public intitutions and for pub
lie utilities. Class three is coal
for Great Lake ports. Class four
was formerly domestic coal, and
class five all other purposes. Do
mestic coal is now in class 2.
The railroad commission reports
very little coal in any part of the
state for domestic consumption.
An agent of the commission visited
an coal yards in Colum bia. Tues
day afternoon, as part of the in
yentory of the entire state now
being made by the commission.
and it. was ascertained that there
is only about ten per cent of win
ter's supply of coal in Columbia
yards. for all purposes. And no
coal is being received, even
though orders are being approved.
One car. Of coal was released at
Spartanburg Tuesday afternoon for
a Columbia yard, and it will be re-
ceiyed Wednesday. There are, by
actual inventory of the railroad
commission, only ESQ tons in the
Columbia yards, and Chairman
Shealy Of the commission stated to-
day that it looks like Columbia
faces serious situation. No
SnlOIleHlS nave DSSti iSSSANSN i<teS.
~ and there are no prospects for
any adequate supply to be received
soon.
The railroad commission is work
ing overtime on the fuel situa-
ton. Orders for coal are pouring
in. Such orders as come within
the proper classifcations are ap-
proved, and these are sent to the
mines with which the orders are
placed, but as yet very little inn
provement in the situation is noted.
In one or two cases the COM
mission has discovered that dis
honesty was practiced in an effort
to secure fuel. One manufacturing
plant reported that it was short.
The commission investigated and
found that the plant was we'll
stocked in fuel. No further or
aers will be approved for this con-
cern, it is stated.
