arose through failure. he said, of cities

be directed to the food administration

from Ohio, where he discussed the

administrator. served warning against
attempts Of communities to confiscate
coal in transit, cases of which were
reported from points in the middle
west
When local officials he said,
have undertaken to confiscate coal
for the use OF public institutions or
local communities. they not only have
assumed to exercise powers not vest
ed in them. but at the best would be
required to pay contract prices for
the coal, instead of the lower price
fixed by the fuel administration
When the fuel administration acts, it
has the power to furnish coal at gov
ernment prices.
The difficulty is the communities
do not tell us speciscally what
amounts they need. what the purpose
is. when to deliver and other specific
information. All they need to do is
to give us definite facts AMI coal will
