Dear Sir:
, e are sure you ;Be Ca.mili:iC with the ClUTent BUY COAL NOW Campaign
!wing coodud.ed by the United States Departmertt of the Inledor. in which
aU cool usm  are argaJ IA  st.oc:k cool--all tht' coal they can- now. in order to
guard against and preven;(. a traMporiat.ion ~e lata- on. If a ol"l.age of
transportation de 't!lopes. it will immediately translate itself into a coal
M~ .
In this connectioo, retail ~ d.-alers and cool COOSUI1Iers are c Hoperating
fully; and as a coosequence dealers arc now busily engaged fiUng ronsuJTf­er
.• bins with their next. winter  roaI.
The dealers, howeves-, are being seriously hampered by a \-jdc of men to sto
coal at p)Qces where it can :1 .t be tltro'wn from the truck di.rectJty inlA  !h.. cool
bin.
!\10ft and more coal dealers are reporting IA  us that the men who customarity
engage in this w«k are growing in~ingly independent, and in many cases
flatly refuse IA  wOf'k, spending most of their time hanging zound in groups
on street comers, pool rooav;, :000 saloons.
'Ye would be maot gratefu to '00 and the Polke Department if such .,iteriJlg
could be broken up_ It if' our belieC thilt if this were done the men would then
return to work ~::d ~ in th :ill iJ:npo:"'.::.nt job of getting co:l! mto

Any suggestions or help from you,
ciated.
I Lindsey, will be very much 8JT11'"e-
