Coal Shortage in Winter Pre
dicted.
Washington, June 18.-A coal
shortage next winter which may cur
tail production of iron and steel and
seriously affect other industries is,
foreseen by the Federal reserve
board in its review tonight for the
mon the of May. The situation is al
ready acute in some districts accord
ing to the board and production in
many lines is being held down.
Production of coal is being cur
tailed chiefly as a result of shortage
of cars, the reserve board reports. It
estimated that car supply at mines in
the east at only 30 per cent of nor
mal. Labor difficulties, while compli
cating the situation, are considered
by the board as only a minor cause
of the reduced coal production.
No reduction of coal prices is in
sight, the board says.
Commenting on the far reaching
effect of the car shortage and freight
congestion., the reserve board states
that reports of its agents indicates
that the transportation tie-up is
largely the result of the railroad
strike which still continues over a
large section of the country." The
congestion if further accentuated ac
cording to the board by local strikes
of other groups of transportation
workers.
Sporadic strikes in the manufac
turing industries, notably textiles
continued to indicate unrest, the
board says. An accurate shortage of
labor on farms is reported. Wages
apparently have fallen behind the ad
vances in prices and cost of living,
the board asserts.
Little hope for a general reduction
in prices is held out by the board
though it suggests that changes in
prices have taken place may furnish
the basis for a more far-reaching
alteration in the essential price
structure. Changes during May, the
board says have borne witness of
many disturbing factors whose im
portance and persistence are as yet
uncertain.
Considerable interruption to busi
niess resulted during the month from
labor and railroad difficulties, the
board states, and the outlook has
been such as to cause a severe curtail
ment in the volume of stock and se
curities transactions. Material less
ening in the market value of liberty
?onds and first securities is attribut
.ed to these causes.
No Mercy for Pistol Carriers.
At the court of sessions in this
.county, adjourned last Thursday, two
.men, negroes, were convicted of mur
der; one of them will spend the rest
of his life in prison at hard labor
and the other in a few weeks will die
in the electric .nair.
These men killed their victims with
pistols which, in defiance of the law,
they carried concealed on their per
sons.
The juries were evidently of opin
ion that a man carrying a pistol in de
fiance of law takes the first step to
wards committing murder. The juries
in future may be depended on to hold
that one guilty of thus carrying a pis
tol will have to present a powerful
case of self-defense to be excused for
taking life.
The man who is to be electrocuted
practically committeed suicide when
he put the "gun" in his pocket. Every
other man who "totes a gun" in these
times thereby places his life in a
thousand times more danger from
the law than he is in from assailants.
The people are aroused on this
subject. The juries are from the peo
ple. They intend to show no mercy
to the pistol carriers. They intend to
send them to the chair when the op
portunity offers. This is not to be
the rule in Richmond county anyway.
Thugs and ruffians will not be allow
ed to go about the streets of Colum
'bia with deadly weapons on their
persons, to the peril of law-abiding
-citizens, white and black, and the
.conditions are such that no clemency
-we think, may be hoped from the
governor and the board of pardons
?unless the circumstances be extraor
-dinary.
The people who carry pistols
would better take the warning . If
they shoot and kill, they are to have
mighty little chance for their lives.
Yesterday a negro woman was fined
"by the recorded S100 for carrying a
.concealed pistol and the punishment
was none too heavy. To impose it was
a kindness to her. It may save her
3rom the electric chair. The State.
