OAL LOW; DEMAND | SHORT, T Production Behind, Due to Strike; Consumption Down Because Business Slow BY ALBERT APPLE RGH, Aug. 19.-Is there a fuel shortage this win ter? And how about prices? Here the situation One hundred and fifty thous soft coal miners are out of wor That's one miner idle out of every four. Soft coal Juction, so far this what was mined in same period of 1920 PRODUCE 7,400,000 TONS BACH WEEK N American bb In recent weeks tuminous mines have been turning } out an average of 7,400,000 tons of soft F The Na tional Coal association says that pro duction must 10,750,000 4 week to take care of normal needs and that when output falls below that figure there's danger of a short age. The demand for coal, however, this yenr is below normal, due to indus trial depression and railroad tivity. When times are good and industry running at capacity, out of every 100 inac tons of soft coal mined, industrial plants use 32 tons and railroads use 28 tons. Domestic consumers (homes) use only a trifle more than a tenth ot all bituminous coal mined. The rest is exported, coked, ete. Frere’s total production of soft coal from January 1 to Juty 24, 1921, com pared with prodnetion in the corre sponding period of previous year: : 1921 . 219,320,000 tons 1920 . 9,191,000 tons 1919 .. 245,009,000 tons 323,122,000 tons 1917. 306,588,000 tons ‘The above figures show that soft -coal output this year has been ex tremely low, compared,with war boom years. JOBBERS CLAM SHORTAGE POSSIBLE Reliable coal jobbers say that, even allowing for decreefed coal demand { caused by industrial depression, a 4 soft coal deficit is gradually accumu- { \ating. This might. prove serious tf business suddenly revives this au ‘jomn and needs a lot of coal. Or if ithe winter is severe. Or if consum- j ers hold off on Dilying their winter | fuet and all @me stampeding into } the market at the same time. Any danger is of a car shortage, Rot aryactual coal shortage. ‘The pricts of the leading grades of soft coal have been cut about $7 a ton, at the mines, from the war time peak Here's: what retail dealers this month are paying coal jobbers for a Net ton of the leading grades of soft coal, at the mine-mouth: Pittsburgh No. 7 jump.. Hocking 4-inch Lump ) Hocking Mine Run. Pocahontas Mine Run Pocahontas Lump.. On top of these prices, the retail @ealer has to pay freight, teaming, rent, ete. ANTHRACITE SUPPLY SEEMS SUFFICIENT There appears to be no possible @anger of an anthracite coal short age. Anthracite output from first of + the year to July 24 totaled 51,847,000 net tons, against 49,308,000 tons same Period 1920. Anthracite prices, at the mines, are strongly resisting price deflation. But they're coming down slowly, and some brokers expect them to go to Pieces this fall, as bituminous prices have in recent months. Here's what retail dealers are paying coal jobbers for a gross ton of hard coal at the mines, compared with July prices: July Aug. 1921 1921 semreweceeen sae $8.60 $8.25 1918 . $2.7 Not Stove .. were 8.60 8.25 Eex ..- 8.00 These prices are f. 0. b. mines. ‘Ship News | SATURDAY Ace, 20 View 0 vide ae 1 Low Tide | Second High Tide 0» tt | ou de of Canada must be plainly stenciled or labeled.

Matt Starwich returned from the state couyention of sher. iffs, held at Aberdeen August 16-17 } 18 Thursday night, with the report jthat three résolutions “had been | adopted at the convention. | Washington sheriffs, he stated, made a definite resolution to stand against any body of people organized | to take the law into thelr own hands —such as the Ku Klux Kian. They also resolved to take the question of a salary raise for sheriffs before the next meeting of the legis lature. They will make a request at the same time that sheriffs be per | mitted to hodl office for as many terms as they can be elected. At the present time, a sheriff in this wtate is limited to two two-year terme. Thirty-six sheriffs, representing the counties of Washington, were present at the convention. Points Out Needs of State Fruit Belt Three things necessary for the suc: ceas of the fruit belt of Eastern Washington are pointed out by John A. Gellatly of Wenatchee, president of the Pacific Northwest fruit expo: sition to be held in Seattle this fail. They_are production, transporta tion and sane distribution. Gellatly is hard at work arranging the program for the exposition, which promises to be one of the fin- est fairs ever held in the Northwest Py Special rates for current in the off-peak hours may be granted to industrial concerns by the munici- pal lighting plant under an ordin- ance approved Thursday by the council utilities committee. They don't include freight. Shipments of coal up the Great Lakes, so far this season, have been the biggest in four years. But the docks at the head of the lakes are piled high with coal that has no buy: ers, The Northwestern states are be- lieved to have empty coal bins A.
