Washington. Aug. %. - Sufficient
stocks of hard coal are in storage to
supply normal requirements for more
than four months. according to, sur
vey made by a government depart
ment since the controversy, between
anthracite miners and operators
reached the stage where a discontinu-
ance of production seemed a possible

With danger of critical shortage
averted by possession of this stock,
the opinion was expressed in govern
ment circles today that the problem to
be faced in the event Of a tie-up in
the hard coal fields would be one of
distribution. The assurance from the
White House that the public need fear
no fuel crisis was interpreted as in
dicating that President Coolidge was
ready to throw the government aid in
this direction In the event of an emer-
