Coal Shortage Pressures Hagerstown Citizens
City officials warn of severe coal shortage as supply lines stay fractured by a strike. Cumberland reports 200–300 carloads daily via the B&O and about 20 via Western Maryland, with most coal from non union strip mines in Allegany County and only a few small mines active. Prices are rising in markets outside the city while local dealers report no price hikes to residents.
