City Coal & Wood Go. furnished everybody that asked for it one quarter tone of coal at time and they were able to take care of all cases fillness and trouble.''
 MT. Johnston says he feels that his company at least will be able to take care of all legitimate needs as wanted during the winter although it may not always be possible to give people the exact size of coal they ask for.
 Meeting This Noon.
 A special meeting of the coal deal- CTS with Mayor Paonessa. President John c. Loomis, of the Chamber of Commerce, and E. w. Christ, of the city fuel commission, met in the maroy's office at noon today to dis cuss the proposition. Mayor Paones- sa said he would help alL he could in buying the coal the dealers brought here for the various departments. but was powerless to do any more.
 Mr. Christ made suggestion which seemed to the dealers a great deal more feasible than the purchase Of British coal. He suggested the purchase of Pennsylvania semi-b bitu- screening it through a three quarter inch mesh. selling the larger sizes at about sl3 a ton to private consumers and the finer screenings to factories, business places city depart ments and anywhere where soft coal can be burned. ...
 British Coal Dropped.
 This proposition seemed to be the most popular No action was taken except a decision by mutual consent to let the British proposition drop for the time being.
 A meeting of the city fuel commis- sion and the coal dealers will be held n the mayors office at o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
 A new angle to the situation de- reloped within half hour after the meeting closed this morning, when President Loomis telephoned the New York representatives of the British and advised them the deal was off. The New York office inn stated that the local situa- ion was fully realized and for this 'eason the British firm was willing to .ake a chance and ship the coal to New London, agreeing to take it off he hands of the local dealers at purchase price, provided the local nen decide they do not want it.
 MT. Looms immediately got in ouch with Mayor Paonessa, E. w. Christ and the coal dealers and an- other meeting will be held at 5 o'clock this evening at the New Britain club to discuss the new angle, 1t which time representative of the British concern will be present.

COAL DEALERS MAY
 TAKE BRITISH FUEL
Continued From First Page.)

burned soft coal successfully and would get more satisfaction out of the British product than bituminous. Private residences could burn it, also, with less difficulty than regular soft coal, 1t is said.
 However, the nature of the coal, while much better than ordinary Pennsylvania soft coal is claimed 1t is not materially better than the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia soft coal. and would necessitate con- siderable screening before 1t could be offered for consumption in private homes. The cost of rehandling screening, etc, would mean another addition to the price which would send the cost to the consumer soar- ing up to S23 or SPA ton.
 It Is planned, If the coal is pur- chased, to give the consumer the op- ton of having the coal screened or not, service charge being placed on screening. This, however, the dealers admit would not be entirely satisfac- tory as the man who was fortunate enough to get his coal from the top of the pile would get all good, clean pieces. while that from the bottom would be little better than ordinary coal dirt.
 Another feature which has the local coal men somewhat concerned would be the handling of the ship ment at each end of the line. While little difficulty would be experienced here by the railroad company, it is thought the coal dealers themselves would be hard pressed to unload 15O or 200 cars within "A hours. If this could not be done there would be demurrage to pay. Cars at New Lon- don would have to be loaded and moved out promptly or demurrage would be chargeable at that end. The boat would be required to unload and clear within a certain time limit or that too, would mean additional ex- pense.
 |. S. Supply Better.
 On the other hand the dealers ex- pect to be able to get anthracite coal through in time to save the situation. Steam sizes of anthracite are selling in New York now. it is reported ana will be coming this way within short time.
 The majority of the New Britain dealers are satisfied that if the may ors fuel commission sees to it that all institutions business places, etc, which can burn soft coal, do so, and that no one be permitted to stock up a cellar full of coal until there is plenty on the market, that the avail able supply will be sufficient to tide over the shortage.
 Few Must Do It.
 The meeting was held at the Cham Der of Commerce rooms and was at- tended by seven or eight of tn local dealers. It is felt if the coal is pur- chased, these seven or eight will have to take partically the entire ship ment. The sample submitted was ob- tained from the New York office of the British coal company. None of this coal has as yet been sent to this country, and the shipment proposed to be purchased here, would be in the nature of an experiment, it being the first to come to America.

 pany investigated this coal. Mir. Johnston reports the result of his in- vestigation as follows; ..
 The matter of arranging with the mayor to prevail upon city depart ments to use this coal was left in the hands of President John C. Loonis of the Chamber of Commerce, It was ascertained that the local railroad au- thorities would experience no diff culty in handling shipment of that size. ..
 Johnston's Opinion
 F. H. Johnston of the City Coal and Wood company, who has been seriously i'll for the past week, when asked for his opinion on the matter of purchasing Welsh anthracite coal, stated that when in England he in- vestigated this matter carefully and found that this coal was not at all similar to the Pennsylvania Anthra- cite and could not be considered as serving the purpose for which that coal Is used.
 Last summer when serious short age became apparent MT. Johnston and Mir. Kierstead of the City Coal Co. of Hartford, went into this mat ter very extensively and found:
 1. That the coal was not an- thracite.
 2. That it was very soft.
 8. That it was very high in cost when the breakage was considered.
 Prices Too High.
 There are a number of American coals which could be screened and used in the same manner and give fully as good results at a consider ably less price For that reason, MT. Johnston and MT. Kierstead de cided that they would not make the of trying Wech coal, as they felt that such coal should not cost as high as s21 or S22 per ton.
 If the politicians will keep their hands off the coal business and simply get the government to use every possible effort to keep the coal production up to its highest mark, it is his belief, Mir. Johnston says | that the coal dealers will, under the necessity of the case, use every pos sible means of getting coal and in cases of illness and trouble"
 For September, October and No vember no person should be allowed to get over one ton of coal at time. If this course is pursued for three we will get by without any Hanger of serious shortage.
