COAL SHORTAGE
BECOMES CRITICAL
Iron Trade Faces Serious Sit
uation, the Iron Age
Says Today
New York, Dec. 11. The iron
trade is face to face with a much
more serious shortage than that
which has been a matter of concern
for weeks, says the Iron Age to-day.
Even though work be resumed
promptly at bituminous coal mines
as the result of the Indianapolis con
ference, restrictions on the distribu
tion and use of such fuel are likely
to continue for weeks and their re
moval will be only by degrees.
Under the latest restrice order of
the Fuel Administration, effective
Wednesday, December 10, beehive
coke ovens are limited to 50 per
cent of the coal charged into them
in November, and by-product ovens
are put on 30 hours' coking time,
practically cutting their output by
50 per cent. Ten days' enforcement
of this order would cause nearly half
the blast furnaces of the country to
bank or blow out.
With the added possibility of snow
blockades, the outlook for iron and
steel production in the next two
months is thus more serious than at
any time, not excepting the shut
down period covered by the famous
Garfield order of January 7, 1918.
It took a sharp flurry in the coke
market last week to bring into play
an order from Washington restoring
war-time prices, which were 86 at
oven for blast furnace coke and $7
for foundry coke. When the 25 per
cent reduction in coal supply for bee
hive ovens was made, effective De
cember 1, there was a scramble to
get blast furnace and foundry coke.
While very little could be had, the
price for spot furnace coke rapidly
advanced and as high as sl2 was
done, while foundry coke sold up
to sls.
Thus far, iron and steel producing
plants seem to have been hurt more
than those of consumers. At Gary,
lnd., eight blast furnaces are active
and four are out. At South Chicago
five are in and six idle. A Canton,
Ohio, furnace has stopped and two
more in eastern Pennsylvania. Some
open-hearth plants are turning to oil
to help out.
In the Pittsburgh district sheet and
tin plate operations are much re
stricted. The American Sheet & Tin
Plate Company, which has closed 70
hot sheet and tin mills in Indiana,
has 46 hot mills idle in western
Pennsylvania. An independent plant
at Canonsburg, Pa„ is shut down. At
Youngstown the week opened with a
very sharp curtailment at the plants
of four independent steel companies.
In all iron and steel operations the
using up of reserve coal means a
constant liability to shutdowns
through the winter.
Serbia Still in Need
of Relief, He Says
Yurk, Dec. 11. —Allan M. Gale
o." the Serbian Relief Committee, com
menting on a recent dispatch from
Hi ltrade, stating that Serbia was on
her feet again, having recovered from
me immediate effect of the war,
said:
"The Serbian Relief Committee of
America and all who are giving their
lives and strength to the work, know
vi.at great as the results accomplished
appear in the aggregate, they are, in
comparison to the need, pitifully
small. Much ia made of the fact that
this year's harvest gives the new
kingdom a surplus in cereals above
Its needs, that the food situation is
under control, and that actual star
vation no longer menaces the people.
But these facts have been long known
by the relief agencies and all inter
ested in Serbia, and have been very
widely published by them. And it
should be equally well-known that
the harvest includes the crops of Bos
nia and Herzegovina, which, as Aus
trian territory during the war, suf
fered very little real damage.
"There will, perhaps, be no genuine
starvation in Serbia through .the win
ter, though the food supply, neither
in quality nor quantity, is suitable
or sufficient for the restoration of
health and strength of young chil
dren. One slight indication of this
is to be seen in the recent shipment
by Mr. Hoover's administration of re
lief of four large cargoes of powder
ed milk for use in central and south
eastern Europe, including Serbia."
German Prize Pistol
Wounds Phila. Girl
at Mother's Burial
Philadelphia. Dec. 11. —Miss Dor
othy Logan was accidentally shot
by "her cousin, Daniel Morse, 10
years old, at Federalsburg, Md.,
Tuesday, where she had gone to at
tend her mother's funeral.
She was at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. Gootee Neal. William H. Morse,
a cousin, was exhibiting a revolver
which he had taken from a German
soldier during the war. After show
ing how the weapon is loaded, he
placed it upon a table.
Daniel Morse picked up the
weapon, swung it about his head and
it was discharged. The bullet went
through Miss Logan's legs and into
the wall.
