But nobody could divine the deluge that was to be precipitated upon the coun- ters. It is little wonder that the result @annot be reached before late to-day or perhaps to-night in time for t morrow’s issue. The delay cannot be ascribed to the counters but to the chieftains of the contenders who held back their votes.

THERE 1S NO SURPLUS Every housewife who burns two hods of coal a day (just because she an pay for it) when one hod of coal will do, is storing up trouble for her- nelf and al! the neighbors. That trou- We will take the form of coal fam- te, for some, and robbery prices for uthers. “MOUNTAINS OF COAL" SHRINK TO MOLE HILLS. ‘There is no surplus anthracite coal upon which the United States—in- @uding New York—may rely to take the pla of the normal supply Away last spring New Yorkers were made familiar with vast mountains of coal, photographed out on the New Jersey meadows as the reserve ap- parently equal to the future demands ot many years. The persons wo took assurance from those plioto- graphs were nearly as shortsighted as the persons who thought the first Liberty Loan was going to imance the whole World War. The amount was big—but it wasn't big enough to supply the first call for reserve re sources. Back of those pictured mountains of reserve coal there lay'in the mind of every one of us (who was not directly concerned in the coal bu ness) an instinctive feeling that there were other similar reserves stretching all the way back from New York Bay to the mouths of the mines where, we supposed, there were the biggest coal heaps of all. NO RESERVE TO MEET TIDE- WATER DEMANDS. The Evening World sent me to Scranton and Wilkes-Barre to find how muck coal was above ground in this district available to tide over the present shortage before the new coal begins to come out of the ground. THERE ISN'T ANY. There is more coal in the total of the small lots to be had at profiteer- ing prices in the ‘yards and retail cellars of New York City than there is in the wholesale and retail stocks of anthracite above ground within a fifty mile radius of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Scranton is worse off to-day for coal than is New York City. Its street car lines are running enly because the local miners’ unions have agreed to turn a blind eye to ward the agencies which are wash- ing inferior coal out of second hand @ulm banks to keep the public service corporations going Ten days ago it was charged that the Quinn Coal Company, an inde nt washery which buys up coal ulm banks and salvages them, was welling fuel coal in addition to sup- plying the public service corporations, On the day after the report got abroad “SURPLUS” VANISHES LIKE MIST; NEW YORK CITY'S SUPPLY QUTLOCK DUBIOUS since to public service corporations or anybody else There were never any big per- manent reserves In the Wilkes-Barre- Pittston section of this district ex- cept, as they were accumulated be- cause of transportation considerations. The operators shipping from Wilkes- Barre and Pittston sent their coal to tidewater to be piled, for the most part. What small accumulations were heaped about Wilkes-Barre and Pitts- ton disappeared within a few weeks or days after mining of anthracite ceased April 1 last. THOSE BOASTED RESERVE SUP- PLIES ARE GONE. In the northern area of the dis- trict the biggest reserves last April were those in the Carbondale storage plant of the Hudson Coal Company and the Hampton storage dumps of the Glen Alden Coal Company— which was the D. L, & W. Railroad's coal concession before it became sin- ful to call a coal company by the same name as that of the railroad which owned and operated {t for profit, (The Hudson Company once belonged, so it is sald, to the Del- aware and Hudson.) Something like 260,000 tons of coal was as low as the Hudson Coal Company ever allowed its storage reserve to drop at Carbondale. Usual- ly it was a 100,000 tons higher than that, at least. If there are 250 tons of coal in those great yards to-day it is in heaps so small and scraped over so cleanly that the casual visitor without pro- fessional coal experience cannot find it. And the only heaps which ure half-knee high are buckwheat coal, useful only for industrial purposes and not of the least bit of use for the houscholder and the cook In the Hampton storage yards of the Glen Alden Company there is no buckwheat coal except that which ts so thinly spread on the ground that grass is growing through it. The Seranton Coal Company, the Hillside Coal and Iron Company (which was once the Pennsylvania) and the Tem- ple Coal Company are just as obvi- ously fr ny charge of ‘hoard- ing coal,’ have sold all the coal which they had taken out of the ground by April 1 last and they have taken none from the ground or their culm banks since All of which is a grim Scranton and Wilkes-Barre An The biggest dealers nthracite for use In Scranton are Consumers’ Ice Company, Griffith President; the Kearney Coal ny. and Herman Ziman NO GREAT OUTPUT OF “BEST COAL NATURE PRODUCES.” Mr, Davis, Mr. Kearney and Mr Ziman will not quote prices to-day to joke on in t Davis Compu the President of the bank in which any of them keeps his private ac count, It caunot be done, Mr. Kear- ney advertises “the best coal that nature produces" fa papers.
