"COAL CARDS'' IN FORCE AT GARY (Continued from Page One) ing Cue move to protect themselves and tiie consumers. As f,jr their own contracts they say they are getting the same treatment from wholesalers. In Chicago some firms are taking an average between contract low prices and existing high ones and selling to contract customers at that rate. Letter Sent Out. eveial dealers have sent out the following letter: Illume Cur Shortase. "Ton. no doubt, are aware that there is and has be.-n for some months past, a severe shortage of railroad cars, and particularly coal cars, and that as a result of this car shortage wc have been receiving only about one-half the amount of coal on our contracts th?.t we have bought, and fhould receive. "Our suppliers tell us the future does not give any promise of relief, and that conditions instead of getting better are likely to grow worse with the coming of bad weather and the consequent slowing down of railroad movement from mines to destination. "We find it necessary, urd'-r the circumstances, to apportion such contract coal, as we get. equitably among our customers who have contracts with us, and to supply the balance of their requirements with such other coal as we may be aide to acquire in Third Annual Masked Ball Given by Hammond Council No. 2552 Knights and Ladies of Security.

the open market, which latter will be charged to you at current prices. "Under the present conditions the fore-going is the only equitable way in which we could handle a situation for which we are in no way responsible, and in" which we must adopt a policy that will be fair to all. "In order to get sufficient coal on hand to make up for the coal we are short, on our contracts, it is necessary that we arrange, at once, to go into open market for additional shipments ..f cou at the market price, so that we can supply tho shortage to our customers at the retail market prico as to such coal as we have to go into the open market and purchase. We would kindly ask that you let us know upon receipt of this letter, if you wish lis to continue your .contract upon the above conditions." Strrl Mill Manngfr "Worrjlng. Gary industrial uses are about 23.000 tons of coal every Z 4 hours of which about 10,0oj tons are used at the coke ovens, it is raid the coal situation is causing thtj eteel corporation officials much concern. To help out their employes in the matter of fuel the corporation ha3 been selling them coke screenings at 2.!t0 a ton. TUo screenings can't be used at the blast-furnaces, but are prety good for heating. They clinker badly and will burn out a grate unless watched: but nevertheless tho coke slack affords a cheap fuel and hundreds of employes are taking advantage of the opporunity to buy it as such a reasonable nuie. Coal Shortage C'lor Xight Schools. The Dalton t'oal company, which had the contract to supply the schools with Indiana screenings at $1.87 F. O. li. the schools doing their own hauling has been unable to get enough cars in. The Frorbel and Emerson buildings alone use 50 tons a day, each of tho' schools having its own power plant. Pecause of the shortage and a desire to conserve the existing supply no night schools will bo run until February and possibly not until March. Pochantas nut coal is practically i minus thing in Caiy and anthracite is approaching tho ?11 mark, slightly varying figures between $10.25 and $10.S5 being offered by different dealers. Some of them oTer for $S and $tj.o0 Indiana and Illinois lump, which is a great smoker and not liked by. many .people. There are hopes that the car shortage will limber up, but no great change in coal prices Is expected. To Do Summrr HtixlncM. The president of one Gary firm said this spring will witness many people buying coal at the lowest prico of the year for next winter. If there Is a more equal distribution' throughout the year mines, railroads and dealers will not be congested when cold weather comes. "We intend to sell at low prices In Hie spring and early summer to those who will stock up at once and pay cash on delivery. In this way we can buy cheaply," it was said. "Unless a dealer has orders and the cash he cannot afford to buy In the spring and then pay high insurance interest." AXXETTK KEL1.EBMAXS ART CAU KXOAHS IIIBK TO CinCAliO HIIRALD READERS!
