RY despatch from Toronto . 'Provided that immediate action 1s taken on the part of Ontario munici- in go. on with each) n nd with the coal dealers of the] , there will be no real coal famine during the coming. winter. "Such is the view of J. A. Ellis, Pro-| expressed 'vincial Fuel Controller, as before a conference of some one hun- 'dred and twenty, representatives of Ontario municipalities held at the Parliament - Buildings on Thursday afternoon. Purchase of Welsh bitu- minous coal, either admiralty or smokeless, was the measure advised by the Fuel Controller. The gist of the Controller's advice was as follows: Do not rely on Am- erican anthracite. If you can get Am- erican bituminous coal, get it, but you will be well advised to look elsewhere for a substitute. Anticipate that you will have to find some substitute for hard coal, at least until well on into December, and if buying soft coal, buy from 16 to 20 per cent. of your normal year's supply. Although no concrete actibn grew out of the conference, those present learned a good deal about the situa- tion as it affects the province geéner- ally, and the individual consumed in particular. From one source came the suggestion that the Dominion Govern- ment should take the duty off Welsh soft coal as was done in 1902." The sayst--|m Fudl Controller approved and suggest- ed 'that 'the Federal authorities be facilitate transshipment at Montreal. W. C. Cox, of Toronto, declared that there was actually at the present time a surplus of American bituminous coal in Ontario, and that no difficulty was being experienced in getting ord- ers from American firms filled for further large amounts. ' The better grades were not obtainable, the said, but every day offers were being re- ceived for delivery of soft coal of a standard almost identical with that of the Welsh fuel. The Toronto deal- er prophesied that the price of Am- erican anthracite, following the close of the strike, would be somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty dollars per ton, laid down in Toronto. - ed le Sir og Es wh : Vancouver, B.C----According "to a prominent local grain dealer the move- men; of wheat through Vancouver will at least equal last year's total. He has just returned from a business trip through Alberta and Manitoba.

McCann, Assistant Gen-|- eral Manager of the Dominion Coal| Company, gave a no less firm state- ment that the company could not yield to the demands of the stafikers; even though refusal mednt destruction to sheep were recently presented to the United States Bureau of Biological Survey by the Canadian National Parks Branch, to be liberated on the Montana National Bison Range.
