WASHINGTON, November 29. (Received December 1, at 1.30 a.m.)
The .commandeering c>f coal passing through their territories by various comimmiues will result in a 16,000,000-ton shortage. This is due. to the miners' strike, and tire custom has become so provlalent that tho Federal Fuel Distribution Committee has issued a warning that (where a oorarißinity seizes coal intended for another community there is liability of reprisal. The burden is general, and attempts at taking the law into their own hands will tend only towards chaos and suffering all round. Tho Federal Aline Bureau has issued a statement blaming the s 'recent coal mine explosions, which resulted in 185 deaths, to the coal strike. It is pointed out that the strike caused a loosening of morale throughout the coal industry. Tho lowering of discipline «md the employment of inexperienced persons was conducive to accidents. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
