22 ' WOULD BUY GOAL - TO ESCGAPE STRIKE George Otis Smith Urges .. Steps to Anticipate Pos- sible Shortage. i Forecasting interruption of the regular flow of coal from mine to qonsumer in the event of a nation- wide coal strike on April 1, George Otis Smith, director of the geological survey, in an article prepared espe- olally for the National Coal Associa- tion, warns buyers to store coal against the needs of April and May. Large users of coal as well as the small consumer should store coal against the perifod when the market may become practically inaocessible, Mr. Smith points out, asserting that the present coal market is @ buyer's market and that it is not too late even now to store up coal. Reasons for Warning. “There is far too little real assur- ance of a regular, continuous move- ment of coal, from the mines to the h “C e larger the tonnage of coul in storage April 1 the more cer- tain the continuous operation of ail industry, regardless of the rate of mine output, and indved the more prob- able the quick return to normal con- ditions.” The consumer must realize, Dr. Smith points out. that what has hurt the country—both miner and user— in late yeare has been the orgy of high prices for coal and the conse- quent inflationu of mine labor and of mine capacity which, he adds, have characterized each period when sellers of ocoal rather than ers have dominated the market. at kind of rity hurts every one,” he adds prospe; {nificantly. Recommends Stabilizsation. r. Smith recommends that in'sta- sffization of the coal industry no one move can hold move than a concen- trated effort of the large consumers of steam coal to adequately supply them- selves with coal. “It is true,” he says, “that next summer the consumer may find in the bottom of his bin, or at the base of his stock pile, a hundred or two hundred tons of coal that cost him a few cents more a ton than the} price then prevailing for oal of thei kind. That loss should be d vp to insurance. That con- su doesn’t complain when the fac- tory he insures against fire is found intact at_the cnd of the period cov- ered by his policy. “Continuous operation of the steam plant despite uninterrupted operation of the coal mine is worth a much larger Insurance premium than any probable difference in price of the hang-over supbly of coal. All this is 50 obvious that the advice may seem unneeded, but some self-evident truths have to' be told twice—and told Seeks to Avold Panie. *“Returns which snow a comfortable supply of coal stocks on the average must not speciously lull us into a sense of security. A market is no stabler than its least provident buy- ers, for these are they who start the nic. “Coal insurance to be wholly ef- fective means not only encouraging storage of large tonnages by the big co! ers, but also developing a sense ance among all coal con- ge and small.” —_——— SEVEN YEARS IN JAIL.
