POSSIBILITY OF A COAL FAMINE
Is the South facing a coal famine.
Tint is the serious question present
ed from many quarters. But the fol
lowing from The Birmingham Age-
Ht raid, which is published right in
the heart of Ulie coal fields of Ala
bama, throws .sonue interesting light
on the subject. The Age—Herald
says:
••Piojle in t'e South who never
before burned wood will burn it
tis winter for fuel.”
“This startling statement by W. i
Carson Adanms of the ‘Alabama Fui
and Iron Company, at the Traffic
and Transportation Club dinner Mon
day night drew attention to the im
minence of a coal famine in the
South tiiis winter. f
‘‘Mr. Adams said everything seem
ed to be working toward making
the situation worse. Strikes in Okla
homa and West Virginia and flood
ed mines in east Tennessee and
Kentucky have made unprecedented
demands on the Alabama mines,
some of which have not yet recov
ertd from the July floods.
“Added to all this is the car short
age which, bad enough in itself, is
accentuated by the larger hauls re
sultant from the more extended ter
ritory to be supplied.
