Storrow Plans Appeal to Garfield on Boston Coal Relief
Storrow, after conferring in New York with President A H Smith of the New York Central, will appeal to Administrator Garfield for relief on coal shipments to Boston. Boston faces a coal diversion order that could shut down factories and many businesses unless timely aid arrives. Coal deliveries to Boston totaled 4700 tons anthracite and 1400 tons bituminous by sea plus 26,000 tons bituminous to navy yard and utilities. Committee members met to assess distribution and outlook, expressing guarded optimism.
