Coal for the Needy Distributed by City Wagons
Chicago authorities distributed 25 cars of coal to the poor using city wagons, with four hundred wagons repurposed from garbage removal. Henry Peterson testified to a price list from a large coal company tying him to a $10 ton rate, claiming he was cut off for selling at cost to poorer customers. New York retailers urged Mayor Low to convene dealers and reveal delivery terms, while Purdue University faced possible closure due to coal shortages and Danville mines idled by car shortages leaving 1900 miners unemployed.
