Local Coal Men 90
IL ~
Optimistic Over
Anthracite Situation

Local coal dealers appear to be
little disturbed over the possibility
of the anthracite miners staging a
strike in September. One dealer
who says he expresses the sentiment
of the others. is of the opinion that
President Coolidge will not permit
a strike and will deal with the
situation in his own way.
Speaking of the local situation
as regards supply and demand this
dealer said that there is on hand
sufficient coal for a good part of
the winter and there is yet more
barges to come up the river. AL
though shipments have been re-
ceived fairly regular this season.
conditions are not yet normal. due
to the shortage which existed last
winter and which depleted the
usual amount carried in advance OF
the demand.
Many local people have put their
winters supply in the bins and this
fact will tend to lessen the rush in
the fall months. With the present
supply on hand and more to come,
there is little danger of a shortage
the coming winter.
