COAL SITUATION NOW
NATIONALLY CRITICAL
Unless Shortage Is Relieved at
Once People nnd Industry
Will Suffer
COLD WAVE HITS CHICAGO
NHW YORK. Oct. 10.
Unless some step Is taken at once to re
lieve whnt amounts to a nation-wide short
age In coal, thousands of homes will not
have heat to ward off winter's chll.s and
the wheels of Industry may be slowed.
A canvass of the situation conducted to
day revealed this grave situation almost
everywhere In tho country An acute Fhort-
age Is expected within the next two weeks.
Detailed report a follow:
New York All dealers rennrt slmrtn-
prices Increasing, fuel administration
names a special agent to devlRe means of
ameliorating. Manv nnartment hnii nwn.
ers declare they nre completely without
coal
Cleveland. O Shortage expected to be
temporarily relieved as result of an order
holding 20 per cent of all Ohio-mined coal
on one day for use of Ohio consumers. Many
'actorles working on a day-to-day fuel
basis
Doston Manufacturers aroused by In-
reaslng shortage and may cut factory
hours In an effort to conserve the supply.
Sew Knglnnd'n shortage by January 1 pre-
dlrlcd to bo 6,000,000 tons
Detroit. O Factories hard hit by In-
reaslng Inability to get even small amounts
f coal Forty thousand homes without
mI Major received petitions from CO.OOO
itlzens nsklng nld Some coal for heating
distributed
St Louis Estimated present supply of
coal sufficient for only three days. It
strike of southern Illinois miners continues
beyond that time much suffering Is feared
here. All St, Louis's supply comes from
the Illinois fields.
Chicago Sudden cold wave caused ln
tenso suffering due to gravely serious short
age of fuel. Shortage already estimated
nt 1.250,000 tons. Hven hospitals keeping
warm only by day-by-day requisitions for
coal
Atlanta. Ga. Fifty thousand tons
needed at once to supply Immedlnto de
mands. Only a few shipments received
since August a mere drop In the bucket
Acute shortage feared within n few weeks.
Dallas, Tex But little shortage felt
yet, but dealers predict scarcity. "We are
e aHW

Just getting by," was one deaieijj
ment.
Richmond and Philadelphia were
the few cities of the nation which
"no shortage " Kansa City likewise im
ported "no serious shortage." except In BeisV
