CHICAGO IS FACING
A MAC FAMINE
Chicago,Jan.6.—The long ontinued
cold weather has reduced the reserve
supply of coal in Chicago to such an
alarming extent that dealers were
powerless today to suply the demand
for fuel from many manufacturing

next 48 hours.
The railroads were frantically
urged by the coal dealers to get coal
into the Chicago yards,. Thousands ;
of carloads of coal are reported to be
waiting on sidings because of lack
of locomotives to move them.
Toda.' the thermometer in Chicapo
registered four degrees below zero
at the minimum. Thougn wnrmer
weather is predicted for tomorrow,
another cold wave is predicted for
next week and large coal consumers
