ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 26.—Ten thou
sand automotyle licenses have already
been sold by the secretary of state,

COAL SHORTAGE IS
WORSE IN THE NORTH
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 26—That the
fuel shortage in eastern cities, and
even in Washington, is a great deal
worse than it is in Georgia, is the
information brought back here by At
lanta business men returning from
Washington, New York and other
cities. Coal in those cities is harder
tc buy than it is in Atlanta and else
where in Georgia, while the weather
is a great deal colder.
William J. Harris, chairman of the
federal trade commission, who is now
ill in bed in Washington, has tele
graphed to friend in Atlanta a state
ment dealing with this situation, and
vigorously replying to his critics who
are atterfupting to place on him the
blame of the shortage here.
‘Parties returning from The north
and east say the coal shortage in these
states is far worse than in Georgia,’’
the statement reads. “Disappointed in
not being able to advance the price
of coal to sls and $lB a ton, and re
senting the efforts of the government
to protect the public by fixing prices,
Atlanta coal dealers and certain poli
ticians opposed me, realizing that am
the leading candidate in the senat
orial race, are trying to blame with
the coal shortage in Georgia, while
everyone knows that the shortage in
other states is far worse. I have in
every way, as a member of the federal
trade commission, tried to protect the
public, and the people of Georgia will
not be fooled by the efforts of the poli
ticians and selfish coal dealers-.’’
