Here Report
Ample Coal
Mild Run Launched
as Consumers Learn
Of Work Stoppaees

Private coal consumers of De-
troit started a mild, panic-ridden
run on the city's coal piles. in
view OF the mine crisis which
spread Saturday over the nation
through defiance by the United
Mine Workers of the presidential
order 10 return 10 work.
Ford Cate, head of the Detroit
Coal Bureau, said, however, that
coal yards had a sufficient supply
TO carry them through the pres
ent burning season easily.
Although the situation at the
huge Ford Motor Co. is mot too
good according to company Off
cials, larger industries of the
metropolitan area, among them
General Motors, are not at pres
ent worried about the fuel supply
situation, a Times survey showed.
With only 20 days supply on
hand Ford spokesman said a pro-
longed strike would result in clos
ing of the steel plant. AS a pre-
cautionary measure, the company
has ordered reduced consumption
of coal wherever possible.
EDISON SUPPLY
Detroit Edison. which furnishes
power for thousands of plants.
large and small. has a four months
supply of coal on hand.
However officials Of that COM
pany pointed out that serious dis
ruption in steel foundries and
plants would result in 10 DAYS if
the crisis should last that long.
General Motors principal use of
coal is IN the making of steam for
heating and some manufacturing
processes, and all of its plants
have an ample amount Of fuel TO
carry through even a prolonged
crisis, company officials said.
Remie Wyble, purchasing agent
of the City Ice and Fuel Company,
declared today that. while the
firm has a large supply of coal in
the yards, the public has become
greatly concerned over the situa-
ton and as a result, thousands of
orders are pouring across the
counters.
That report was borne out by
another from the Coal Bureau.
IF the individuals don't get
too panicky and try TO store
coal in their attics, garages and
everywhere else, we1l weather
this bit of trouble without the
least bit of worry.
