COAL FAMINE IX
NEWFOUNDLAND
St. Johns, N. V., Jan. 31—This
colony and the city of St Johns
n particular, faces a coal famine.
With feather of the usual frigid
temperature prevailing, storm have
been depleted until little more
than a fortnight's supply of fuel
remains. No further shipments are
in immediate prospect, aid some
distress Is feared. Sales already
have been reduced to half-ton lote,
which are sold at high prlcee aad
deliveries are uncortais.
The condition is a dlroct .result
of the war. The Russian gov
ernment purchased the steel sealing
steamms which have been em
ployed for freighting coal during
the winter months, and other
smaller coal caxiiers were re
quisitioned by the British admirall
ty. Possible means of iup®ly
were cut ,off almost entirely by a
series of disasters to six steam
9ts of the Dominion Coal Com
pany's fleet, j The colony has thus
been lef without transportation
service for its fuel, although tha
coal is available in great quanti
ties at Cape Breton, within a few
hundred miles, and there is no
lack of money to pay for It here.
