STILL HAS
LARGE STORE
Of COAL

The residents of Mexico need feel
mo uneasiness concerning the effect Of
the strike on their public utilities. ac-
cording to Wiley Corl, general man
ager of the Missouri Utilities Com
pany. The company still has enough
coal to last until the middle of Sent
ennber and Mrs. Corl feels confident il
their supply is exhausted before>the
strike is settled he will be able TO,
get more fuel. The coal strike was
called April / and at that time the
local company had five months sup
ply, three months supply was stored
here one at the mine in Illinois and
one was purchased on open market.
The last carloads of this coal arrived
here this week.
The price when the first OF this
coal was purchased was SIS but later
jumped to So and predictions are that
unless the difficulty is settled It win
go to $40 ton for even higher. The
company uses about carload of coal
a day.
The question according to MIR.
Cori, is whether they shall purchase
more fuel now or wait hoping that
the strike will be settled. He how
ever is confident that the difficulty
will be adjusted OF the government
will regulate the situation.
Since the beginning of the strike
the adavnce in the cost of coal has
cost. the utilities of Missouri over i
half a million dollars and it 1t prob
able that if the situation lasts much
longer they will be forced to go be-
fore the public service commission
and ask permission to raise their
rates.
The report has come from Cape
Girardeau that if something is NOT
done the town will be without lights
in a few days as the coal supply Is
practically exhausted.
Those who have studied the situa-
ton carefully say that fuel short
age and inflated prices seem ainose
inevitable this fall even il the stxike
were to end immediately. Anthxaeise
production has virtually ceased ana
the non-union hituminous mines are
now supplying aboutahaf Of the ceun-
try's solid ftel Requirements. The
rest is coming from storage and the
nations stock of coal above ground
has been reduced towhat experts gem
orally consider the danger point.
Sympathy for the striking union
coal miners and railroad shopmen
caused the Fulton miners to decide
not to dig any more coal to be ship
ped away and it is probable that this
will have some effect on the situation
~ Mexico as about three-fourths Of
the coal mined at the privately owned
mines at Fulton the last few weeks
has been shipped to Wellsvilie, Mar
shall and Mexico.
Although some of the Mexico coal
dealers are entirely out of coal now,
they are all firm in the belief tiisaee
the strike will be settledsoon and they
will be able to get another supply be-
fore the condition here is serious.
Several dealers expect to get more
coal next week but others believe that
the railroad strike will coanplicate the
situation to such an extent that it win
probably be some time before more
is received here.
! Missouri Military Academy has no
coal supply now although usually at
this time the winters supply is all
stored at the school.
