CITY COAL SUPPLY
 IS REPORTED LOW
Dealers Gloomy at Prospects Of
 Another Miners Strike
BUYING HERE IS LIGHT
Prediction Made That Price of An thractte May Be Advanced Soon--- New Britain Not Equipped With Storage Facilities,

That a raise of 8 dollar ton in
 coal in this city is expected within d few days or a week and that
 strike in the anthracite coal mines,
 which seems inevitable to coal
 dealers and others who are familiar
 with the situation, will leave New | Britain in bad shape is predicted by dealers. Ii is said that there IS
 barely months supply of coal In the city and in case of miners strike September 1, the city will be cleaned out within four weeks.
 The lack of storage space and the cost fo storage make 1t impossible for New Britain dealers to lay in
 large amounts of coal, and despite the fact that a strike is threatened
 the buying of coal this summer is reported to have shown a greater falling off than at any similar period in the past five years. ",rhe peo-
 pie seem to have forgotten the les
 son they learned in 1919 and 1922" said one dealer this morning.
 In recent years the buying of coal
 was somewhat brisk during the sum mer, This summer there Is less
 stocking up than there has been in years.
 That there will be raise of dollar a ton in short time seems to be generally expected. Coal prices
 have been increasing every month since April and while one dealer this
 morning predicted raise of dol ! lar within d week, another dealer said his firm has already been seri- | ously considering the increase. The increase in coast at the mines since
 April has been S1 ton, he said, and coal is sold on so close a mar gin in New England that the dealers cannot absorb this extra cost.
 That a strike September l would find the city in a bad way is tndi- cated also by the fact that there is
 little storage at the mines and the
 mines now are working only three and four days week, according to reports IIUlIl that bttllOI' Hlo
 added to the fact that visitors to the
 coal mines expected strike or
 suspension" of from six weeks 10 three months has coal dealers in this city badly worried. a
 Those who are acquainted with the situation in the anthracite coal
 fields freely predict strike. Among the demands made by the miners is that of the "check-o off" system,
 which has been bone of contention ever since the late John Mitchell first organized the United Mine Workers of America. That the operators will conccde to this de- mand without q long and bitter struggle is not expected.
 Asked why the mines are work ing but three and four days a week local dealer stated this morning that 1t was because there Is no de mand for the coal and all available storage space is filled. He said the shipments to New England this year have been S00O00 tons less than the first six months of 1924.
