Coal Dealers Blame Railroads Seize Deliveries
Retail coal bureaus in Chicago appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission seeking relief from railroad seizures of coal consigned to Chicago. They ask for an order releasing enough steam coal to protect essential industries, stores, hospitals, and cold storage, noting 95 percent rely on wagon deliveries from dealers. Coal operators discuss the situation. Farrington says Illinois miners see a promising settlement soon. Chicago yards hold only a fraction of normal supply, risking a near holiday shutdown. Washington reports Secretary Wilson’s coal report with labor-adjustment recommendations has reached the White House for President Wilson’s consideration.
