SHORTAGE
kEEN[Y FELT
Dealers Allow Only One Half
Ton or Less to Customers
PLENTY of Soft Coal

The coal situation in this city was
again reviewed today when the va
rious coal dealers were asked their
views on the present status of h
coal supply. j.
They report a large amount of
coal needed in the city and little
being received to meet demands, but
state that they are supplying fam
lilies and private homes with only
half and quarter tons where a ton
is asked for. In this way the peo-
pie are made to stretch their own
supply, thereby allowing every fam
lily some.
Delays in the coal shipment are
due to the slow transportation given
the coal by the railroads, an in
stance of which was shown by one
of the local dealers who received a
car of coal last week that was on
the road thirty-four days before 1t
reached the yard.
Another reason for the shortage
and slow shipment OF the coal is
probably the fact that navigation on
the Great Lakes is extending this
year. In former years. the Lakes
would close UP about December g.
meaning that small boats would De
removed and little transportation
would be done by way OF . Wa1e
route. This would undoubtedly
SEM the coal shipments, intended
for the northern sections OF the
country, to the Middle Atlantic states.
Just how long the extension will last
is not known, but it is expected to
close at the beginning of the ice
season.
As for the supply of bituminous
coal, the dealers report that they
have a large supply on hand for
use at any time. The factories n
some of the public buildings are
using it, and it is believed that pri-
yate families will be forced to use IL
if the situation get sany worse, espe-
cially if a heavy snow storm were
to come at this time.

BELG|ANS MAY
SUPPORT PARIS

BRUSSELS, Dec. - Notwith-
standing the secrecy surrounding
the meeting of the cabinet yester-
day, it is now learned that the min
isters were strongly inclined to sup
port Frances energetic proposal for
direct action in the Ruhr district, if
such a course becomes necessary
through Germany's failure to aban-
don what is considered her passive
or obstructive attitude toward re-
p~arations.
Belgium, it is understood, had
good hope for a successful arrange
ment. through British cancellation
OF war debts and a fresh agreement
to reduce the total to an amount

Germany.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. s.
Decision will be made today whether
the state is to withdraw from the
investigation of the Hall-Mills MUIR

1T is reported that the state will
continue in the case, but with an
other investigator, in place of MI.
Mott. Officials refused to discuss
the report. en-
Regardless of the states attitude
there is a possibility that the whole
case will be dragged out again. The
grand jury that heard the evidence
recently remains subject to call un-
til December 10, and would hear any
new evidence that might be found
before that date. Should new oylr~
dence develop afterward, the new
grand jury would have to hear all
the old testimony as we'll as the
new.
