NEW YORK'S GREAT SMOKE
DUE TO USE OF SOFT COAL.
(OHITSD. PRESS ASSOCIATION—COmiOHT.) (AUITRAUAS NSW ZEALAND CABU ASSOCIATION.) NEW YORK, 27th January. New York City, famous for the clearness of its atmosphere, is now undergoing a radical change, due to the coal strike. Householders, office buildings, and factories have gradually been foroed to use bituminous coal, as the anthracite stocks are exhausted, until the climax has now been reached, and New York is beginning to resemble London during most of the day. The city ia npw under a black blanket, and lights burn all day in offices usually lighted by the sun. Many citizens, not appreciating the pause, complained of fog, and the smoke clouds rolling from the factories caused many inquiries from the newspaper offices regarding v the location of the "big fire." The Fire Department and the Weather Bureau were also besieged with questions. The Health Department is now investigating, and will endeavour to relieve the situation.
The tops of the skyscrapers are frequently invisible.
