Chicago, Nov. 10. According to the
declaration of railroad freight offi
cials another coal famine Is inevitable
in the northwest during the coming
winter, and there is no way to pre
vent it They base their opinion upon
the lack of preparedness at this time
for strenuous conditions. ' . f.
The fault is not with the railroads,
because for months, they have been
urging dealers to put In good supply
in tuel ana noi tune me :uttuu? m
have on former occasions, which sub
jected them to great ; deprivation and
suffering because the railroads were
blocked with snow and unable to af
ford relief, A year or two ago the
dgalersTwere accused of-havlng delib
erately failed to order a large suppjy
In order that they might put up their
prices with scarcity as an excuse for
so doing. -, ;r-
In response to the great efforts of
the railroads during the past summer
to Induce dealers to make a large and
early storage, they Insist that they are
without facilities to do so, and have
said also that they did not care to take
the risk of storing coal on the ground.
They do not appear to be alarmed by
the possibility bf a famine, and believe
that whatever extra storage is re
quired should be provided by the rail
roads. The latter have, therefore
given attention solely to storing their
own supply, ahead of ocnsunfptlon. It
Is stated that less than 10,000,000 tons
have been shipped from the Pittsburg
district to the Great Lakes this year,
as against 12,000,000 to 14,000.009 In
other seasons. -
