Chicago. Dec. 19.-With Chicago
householders facing fuel famine an
nouncement was made today that
Charles F. Clyne, United States dis
trict attorney. and William l.. O'Con-
nell chairman of The Illinois state pub
lie utilities commission. heading del
egsitiun uf shippers and coal ccnsHn!-
ers, will seek to obtain from the inter-
state comerce commission means to al
leviate the situation. Coal dealers,
who assert the situation is becoming
more acute. attribute il to shortage
of coal cars.
With near zero weather prevailing,
the coal situation in Chicago is rapidly
advancing from a critical stage into a
desperate one.
The hauling capacity of locomotives
has been decreased moe than 20 per
cent by weather conditions, while con-
sumption of coal has increased 80 per
cent.
In the city's freight yards and on
tracks leading to Chicago there was
said to be indescrlbable confusion and
congestion in coal shipments.
The shortage in coal already being
keenly felt. authorities said yesterday,
would strike bitter blow by the first
OF the year. In the words of a trade

Mr.. Upham in amplifyine on his
suggestion that coal be classified as

was at hand when joint action should
be taken by all Chicago coal dealers to
determine the needs of residences,
