The Goal Situation
We deem it only fair to the public as well as ourselves, that we stat e the facts in the present coal situation as we see them.
FIRST: Owing to the scarcity and inefficiency of labor, following the coal strike of last winter, and suspension of all production for sixty da
(account railroad) in Rout County, Colo., where a great deal of our coal co.- es from, we face a serious shortage from this district. In Illinois, up to April
1st, only 8 per cent of the miners had returned to work, thus causing a large amount of coal to be shipped from the west to points cast ordinarily using
Illinois coal.
SECOND: The car situation is the worst the country has ever experienced at this season of the year. We are advised by one of the largest
operators in Colorado, their miners worked but nine hours during the last week in June on account of their inability to secure cars. We are in receipt of
the following drastic order from the Inter-State Commerce Commission dated June 28th: "Account serious coal shortage threatening the country' the
Inter-State Commerce Commission orders that coal cars shall not be loaded v ith any commodity other than coal and that all coal loads received at stations
must be released within 24 hours of receipt on penalty of embargo against consignee in case of failure." il
, Price: We arc notified by the Operators that henceforth
all coal will be invoiced to us at the price in effect at the date
of shipment. Therefore we can make no guarantee as to price
for future delivery. We can only accept orders at the price in
effect at the date of delivery.
It is simply impossible for us to unload large cars of coal
within 24 hours and our only solution of the problem is to de
liver ns much coal as possilde direct from the cars to our
customers.
We would suggest and urge that you file your order at
once with your dealer for your requirements to be taken care
of in their turn.
Now the above are plain statements of the conditions as
we find them and we earnestly hope that you will do all that is
possible to co-operate with us and avoid a repetition of last
winter's difficulties.
