SHORTAGE NOT MET YET
Only 1O0,813 of Estimated
l16,743 Tons Had Been
Received Here.
SHORTAGE NOT MET YET

Increased supply of hard coal for
Washington for the period ending
November rs Is shown In a report
issued yesterday by the Public
Utilities Commission.
The report reveals that on
November 26 the District was
1880 tons short of the amount Of
hard coal 1t should have received
against a shortage of $4,000 tons
the week before.
1859 TONS IN WEEK.
The largest amount of hard coal
received here since mining was
resumed in September arrived dur
ing the week of November IS to
25, totaling 1859 tons.
Estimates of the PENNSYLVANIA
Fuel Commission give 1858 tons
as the amount Of anthracite that
should be received here per week
Under this estimate 1878 tons Of
anthracite should have been received
here up to November 25. but the
report showed that only 100,S13
tons had been received
Protests were registered yesterday y
with the commission that coal was
being sold here as high as s19 a
ton. The commission pointed out
that such coal Is being purchased
from independent mines in Penn
sylvania that are not working under
the Pennsylvania Fuel Administra,
ton.
DISCOURAGE EXPENSIVE COAL
Efforts are being made by the
commission to discourage dealers
against purchasing high-priced coal
The Public Utilities Commission
however, is unable to regulate coal
prices, President Harding's Fact
Finding Commission and the Fed
eral Trade Commission being tins
only agencies with power to adjust
prices.
