That there will be Il coal shortage
in Portland this winter. despite the
fact that the coal strike has been set
tied, is the prediction of an official
of one of the large Portland COM
panieS. Consumers who have not
filled their bins already, he said. will
be obliged to accept small quantities
at time, or resort to the use of
substitutes for anthracite. The
situation before the strike was bad
enough" he continued, "for we had
on hand very little coal. We couldn't
fill half our orders at that time. The
arrival of cargo of 5000 tons OF
Welsh anthracite saved the day for
us. Another cargo of the same size
is now on the way, which viii tend
to relieve the shortage somewhat,
but there will be a shortage just the
same this winter"

Birmingham, Ala, May 24.-One
life was lost and for time the en-.
tire community was threatened when
an explosion and fire wrecked an
$4,000 gallon tank of gasoline in
the center of the plant of the Wof :.
ford Oil company here at 2::30 this
morning. 49,. g."
Two million gallons Of gasoline
and crude oil were stored within $50
feet OF the tank that exploded and
for a time fremen held no hope that
the blaze would be confined to the
one tank. They later said the heat
had been sufficiently assuaged to
warrant the statement that the 9th
er tanks were safe, plant officials
announced.
Frank Williams. a negro worker.
was said to have been working on a
pipe line leading to the tank that
blew up and was within few feet
of the tank. His body had not been
recovered.
First estimates of loss were plac.
ed at $4,000. Origin of the fire
had not been determined, hremen
said. "
