BL WILL p. KENNEDY.

What Is the situation regarding
next winters coal supply? Are many
persons or industries going to suffer
through a shortage, as they did last
winter?
With the coal commissions report
on anthracite due tomorrow and with
the mine operators reply to the
unions demands for a new wage scale
carrying 20 per cent increase prom
ised tomorrow-this Is pertinent
question, which consumers all over
the country are asking
Regarding anthracite, or the coal
for home use: The people have been
putting coal in their cellars, which
in the final analysis is what really
counts. The home consumers are,
therefore, in much better shape than
usually on this date. While many.
particularly in the northeastern
states, are complaining to the fed
eral fuel distributor that they cannot
get anthracite coal to fill orders, the
outlook is that they will be able to
get it before they need 1t. The an
thracite production has been steady
strike should be called about Septem-
Der l or at any time later. it is AK
iomatic that there would be some in
convenience some time and some
where, because it requires all the
anthracite that can be mined during
steady, all-year production to meet
the requirements.
Soft Coal Plentiful.
Regarding bituminous, or indus
trial, coal: No prospect of any serious
Inconvenience or shortage is now In
sight, because the agreement does
not expire until April l, 1924. The
only chance of shortage is through
failure of transportation. Warning
TO industrial users to safeguard
against this was given yesterday by
the federal fuel distributor, who rec
commended they purchase and store
bituminous coal during the next two
months, because the railroad facili-
ties for transportation will be taxed
later.
The general situation this year,
both regarding anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal, IS IduIcdiS AhSiShe AAoi-'
last year Usually during this sea-
son the operators and the retailers
have been accommodating stocks. This
year they have no such stocks ac-
cumulated. because the consumers
have been prof1ting by last years ex-
perience and by the. advice of the
federal fuel distributor and putting
the coal in their cellars as fast as ii
could be hauled from the mines.
Orders Flood Dealers.
The strike furry has accentuated
the demand, and all distributing
agencies !. cling flooded with orders.
Mining IN ;>.I the anthracite fields is
progressing at pretty uniform rate
and is "above the records" the fed
eral distributor finds. During July
the production will not be as great
as during May and June, he explains,
because of two holidays, one patriotic
and one religious. Again, August has
four religious holidays which are
pretty generally observed by the for
eigners in the mines. and their effect
on distribution will be noticeable.
But after that distribution ought to
be equal to supplying all reasonable
requirements before winter.
All this is different from the usual
course, because generally the con-
sumer does not concern himself about

La constante impression de enormes
cantidades de rublos papel, sin adecua
da reserva de garantia, ha hecho que
el valor de la vieja unidad monetaria
decaiga sin cesar, mientras que Ell che
vronet ha mantenido su valcr. en- los
cambios Sc dice que en- la actualidad
tiene valor la par con la libra es-
ter.ina v casi la par con Ell dollar,
.Esa nueva unidad monetaria la par
es igual 10 rublos orc, $5.14 y vale
aproximadamente 10 millones de ruelos

Segln esas noticias Ell pueblo ruso Sc
afana pr adquirir en- toda oportanidao
Ell papel moneda ''chevronet'', por su
valor frme. Su empleo Sc ha extendido
a todas las ramas de los negocios y Sc
pide al gobierno que emita mayor canti
dad de chevronets
Un escritor russo dice al respecto, que
Ell peligro principal para el chevronet
esta en- que Ell gobierno advirtiendo su
popularidad, Sc presto a expedir mayor
cantidad de ess signo, fuera de la ga
rantia de la ressrva bancaria, 10 cuai
destruiria su valor en- muy breve pla-
20. Este psligro Sc acentia en- vista de
que el gobierno ruso no ha podido has
ia ahora saldar su presupuesto.
Sc concede signifcaci6na en- estas cir
cunstancias al hecho de haberse anun-
ciado hace POGO que en- 10 sucesivo cier
tos impuestos deberan ser pagados en-
chevronets en- vez de rublos papel.

gan por la abolicion del rublo, causa
