Hard Coal Is Laekinu.
Biiuminous Situation
Good, Survey Shows

A survey among Washington coal
dealers today showed shortage Of
anthracite. but an optimistic out
look regarding the bituminous situ-
alton.
Coal company officials pointed ou
that once the Great Lakes are frozen.
an added amount of bituminous
would be available on the Washing
ton market.
Dealers said that soft coal could
be burned instead of hard coal in
most homes. and that while this
might be somewhat dirtier, no one
need go cold.
Edward D. Shaw, executive Sec
retary of the Merchants a. Manu-
facturers Association, said that there
was insufficient coal in Washington
at present as result of the coal
strike. The bituminous supply is
going to the Great Lakes area at
present. Presumably that supply
will be diverted here after the freez-
up. Mr.. Shaw said.
The Solid Fuels Administration
has promised Washington 80 per
cent of its last years supply" Mr..
Shaw said, "but this means more
than 10 per cent cut because of
the conversions to coal and the in
crease in population
Hartford Bealer, president of the
Brookland Coal Co., said "the coal
situation looks bad for the con-
sumer. There Is no anthracite in
Washington to speak of.
Mr.. Bealer said he expected the
anthracite users to switch over to
soft coal which may cause sharp
strain on the bituminous supply.
Mr. Bealer termed the OPA or
der allowing the delivery of so per
cent of householder's requirement
between now and December /, IAN
empty gesture"
A. E. Dellastatious, president Of
theS Washington Ice & Coal Co,
agreed that the anthracite situation
was critical.
Samuel Blick of the Blick Coal
Co. said that he was unable to
make as many anthracite deliveries
as he had demand for.
