TIia rnnntv attorney of Douelas

tlKittlon brought about oecaune Mor
ris M. Rosenblatt, a coal dealer of
Omnia, notified the county board
that ho could not secure the coal
specified In his contract and would
hnve to substitute. The county at
torney also found that the locol deal
ers wrre not at fault for the shortage
of coal or for the big Increaae In
price. This was also the finding of
le local commercial club after Its
invert Igatlon. The Omaha coal deal
er st-ys that be can't get shipments
of the Iowa product mined winthln

llelleves Combine Fxluts
Thm nmislas county attorney de
clares that he believes a combine ex
ists between the mines and railroads
to hold back shipments a condition
that n hi nnlnlon has resulted In
the piescnt scarcity of fuel and the
hirtt prices. ,
Ha commented on waht he cnarac-
-r A an nhvlmia combination, of
mines and railroads in regard to the
fuel cltuatlon when corresponaence
tniiimr nf thA scarcity of coal was re-
rrraA tn htm hv the county commls-
fpr th coal dealer had no
tified them that it would oe impos
sible to fulfill the contract with the
county fo rfcupplylng Iowa coal to the
poor cf Douglas county.
nv.iinwinir hi lnsnectlon of letters
written to the coal dealer by large
coul and mining companies the attor
ney asserted that in view or me iaci
that the Iowa product was mined
hoot 150 miles from omana ana
hit thm railroad companies were
iikinr nvor shlnments for tnem
selves In large quantities, It was evl-
-tant Viaf mrna kind or a comDine ex
isted between the mines and the
transportation systems.
Ixval !vilem Not to Blame
Tko rtmiffina conntv attorney aver
ed that the local dealers could not be
blamed for the scarcity of coal or tne
hi nrira. 11 the situation was
hinn ant nhnnt hv outside conditions
This is the snme attitude as was tak
en by the Alliance Commercial ciud
following its Investigation.
Whether or not the railroads are
tn hi am la tint known. It is possi
ble some of them are and others are
Innocent. General superimenaeni
vMir.a of thA nuritneton. located in
Alliance, states that the number of
cars delivered to the Sheridan ana
Klrby districts this year Is greatly In
excess of the number Inst year and
offprs the figures in evidence. The
flmirpa wpra rnntatned in the Com
n'--trti riub renort printed last
week. However one of the letters
rpfprrnrf to Mr. Mucnev by the coun
ty commissioners, the letfer being
rrnm Allen & Hpvmoild Coal Co..
Omaha wholesalers, does blame the
VM.-nnpt. stating thetr mining con
nprtion haa Instructed agents that
in.! it- nn cirriimBtii'noPB must com
mercial coal be billed from the mine
until the railroad s orders are taxen
rara of -Thn lptter states'. '
"W boa to advlae you that the
Burlinpton railroad, with whom our
mn.nr connection has aontract ror
engine fuel, Is to demand the maxi
mum imnunt paiiad for in their con
tract and has Instructed their agents
that under no condition must any
pfTmercll roil be billed from the
mines until the - railroad's orders
have been taken car of. With the
very inadpouate supply of cars, this
means that the mines are able to fill
but a very small percentage of their
nhHeaHnna after taking care of the
railroad business." .
Th fiipl dealer stated to the coun
ty commissioners that a couple of
weeks of cold weather would bring a
-oil t ffi-rine. Dealers' supplies,
le bald, are much lower than at this
time last ,r.
Mr. Rosenblatt explained that Jlo
w coal hns lumped from $1.50 to
li. at the mines; Iowa screenings
were 60 to 70 cents a ton, but are
now $2.75, at the mines. Other
grades, according to the coal man.
have advanced in the same propor
tion. One Proposition
One of the letters shown to Mr.
Magney was from the Carbon Coal
Company, declaring that "we are in
no pot-H Ion ""ke stated prices on
lump ccal. but mlcht make a few
shipments at 14 a ton. at the mine."
The Northwestern Coal and Min
ing Company, Kansas C(Vy. Mo.,
wrote Mr. Rosenblatt and warned
that there will be great suffering
from a coal famine if cold weather
seta In.
Letters from the Star Coal Com
pany and the Mackie-Clemens Fuel
Company, both of Kansas City, were
to the effect that they are In no posi
tion to make delivery on any grade
of Kansas or Missouri coal. The
condition was attributed to mining
troubles and the car shortage.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company, Buffalo. N. Y.. blames the
car shortage for the hard coal situation.
