SEATTLE, August 18. The shortage
of coal 1 now beginning to be felt in
Seattle, and it Is predicted that Seattle
this winter will witness the worst
shortage, of fuol in It history. Scarcity
of oars for hauling coal Is given a the
reason for the present state of affair.
Only a small portion of the resident of
Seattle have protected themselves for
the winter by buying while the market
was well stocked with coal, and there Is
bound to be suffering.
The labor Council has contracted for
4000 ton., of coal, which It will sell to the
members of the labor unions, but so far
only 400 tons have been obtained. There
is plenty of coal In the mines, but the
scarcity of cars prevents It from being
Jiaulcd here.
