COAL NOT TURNED
TO NUGGETS HERE
Coal Situation Not Yet Critical.
Some Hard Coal Being Receiv-
ed By Dealers

The hard coal situation in the city
has not as yet arrived at a critical
stage according to local dealers inter-
viewed by a Tribune representative.
AS the demand for hard coal for home
consumption has been met quite we'll
thus far the city finds itself in more
comfortable situation than many
towns in the state and country. A
few cars of anthracite are being re-
ceived during the past weeks. These
cars however are being emptied al
most as soon as they come into the
yards as the public is seeking to fill
their coal bins before the fall brings
the first snap of approaching winter.
Soft or bituminous coal can be had
when desired and no shortage has been
found in this product. 1t is the hard
coal which is used for the warming of
homes that is causing the trouble.
The docks at Duluth are being clean
ed and CLEANED of their black nuggets
as fast as some of the coal is brought
to the head of the lakes. Very little
arrives at the docks and this slight
amount is Immediately swallowed up
by dealers.
The lack of cars is another princi-
pal cause of the lack of coal. The
shopmens strike has rendered unop-
erative many coal cars and several To-
calities are feeling the pinch of coal
shortage fully on that account.
If the shopmen's strikes continues
the situation indicates less bright
prospect. The transportation system
