COAL
Seriously Inter-
department'- has hot determined whether
to use this now or keep It for some un
expected emergency.
BOTH KINDS SCARCE.
Not only Is there a scarcity of anthra
cite coal, but the strike has affected ap
parently tho bituminous fields, as soft
coal contractors have notified the navy
department - that they are unable to
make deliveries. . From Norfolk south
ward the 'navy has scarcely enough fuel
for present requirements. Fortunately
all the, big armorclads on tne. North At
lantlc station are laid up for tempo.
rary repairs and the amount of coal
required to run ships Is much smaller
than was the esse a few weeks ago,
and '.will be again a month hence.
Every effort will be made by the de
partment to overcome the difficulty in
time to permit the big squadron on
the boms station to take part in the
Long Island Bound war game. It may
be necessary, however, to so concentrate
present supplies that the sulps whose du
ties are, regarded as most Important may
be kept busy without. Interruption. It is
the undestandlng, however, that even .if
enough coal is avallale, the navy de
patment will refuse to buy if extrava
gant prices are asked. A number of
contracts made by the eauloment bu
reau months ago at reasonable- rates are
still running, but the contractors, it la
feared, will be unable to comply with
the terms of their agreements,
