George H. Baldwin, the Berlin coal dealer, who'is said to have stopped delivery of coal to New Britain pos- tal employes becausé he received a threat from an agent in New Haven that no more coal would be given him if he continued to dispose of it at a low price, says that there 1is nothing to the story. Mr. Baldwin lsald this morning that he had sold coal to Frank 8. Cadwell and Conrad Hultgren at $8.76 a ton and that he had delivered .to Cadwell six tons at this price and to Hultbers three tons. In regard to the other men, they had tried for a week to have the price lowered and at the end of that time they were ready to order but he Wwas.not then able to .take care of the orders because he already had so many ahead. In order to show that his supply of coal had not been cut off Mr. Baldwin showed a bill of sale whereby he is soon to receive five carloads of coal and in addition to this he has five car loads more or- dered and they will soon be on the way. Mr. Baldwin said that he never agreed to sell the coal at $8 a ton with an’ extra twenty-five cents for cart- ing but that the price advanced had been $8.75. which included . @arting. ‘The reason he refused to m: a ‘con- tract for the coal in advance that he had no way of knowing the next price would be on carload lots and he did not wish to make a con- tract .and then have the wholesalers price increase.

Mr. S8wole has been in New Britain for four years and during that time he won a wide acquaintanceship. News of his death will cause genuine sorrow.

Copenhagen, Via London, May 19.— The potato situation in Germany ap- parently is growing steadily worse. Follawing the example of its sister city, Altona, Hamburg next week will reduce the weekly ration to 24 ounces, | substituting an allowance of 640 grams of bread for the rést eof the promised five pounds. ' The govern- ment has authorized grocers to sell all their remaining stocks of canned vegetables next week. The Berlin patato ration 1is being maintained, although with great diffi- culty, because of the moral effect of reducing at the capital the allowance promised so definitely after the April strike. Simultaneously there are published ofticial arrangements for a race be- tween fi#ther time and famine which shows how perilously scant is the margin of safety, under the maost favorable conditions, . between the moment when the present stock 1is exhausted and the time new flour will be available. These.plans provide for selection of the region where the harvest will ripen first under this! year's climatic conditions, to which | reapere, threshing machines and mill- tary workers will be sent.
