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.
