EDISON CO..
May SHUT
OFF POWER
w ill Try To Keep
Homes Lit At Any
Cost, Says Dow
COAL SUPPLY
is VERY SHORT
Consumers Urged To
Economic In Use of
Current

Unless coal begins 20 arrive more
freely by Sunday or Monday many
Detroit factories will be Obliged TO
suspend operations the first OF the
week. All OF those concerns that
rely upon the Detroit Edison com
pany for power will be Obliged 10
close.
This announcement was made by
Alexander Dow. president OF the De-
troit Edison company. Friday morn.
ing. when he received adviCes from
the mines from which he had con.
tracted his coal supply that the rail
roads would not accept shipments
for the west.
Mr.. Dow said that he would order
the power cut OF only az the last
extremity. but he rs determined TO
furnish light TO the homes rather
than power TO the factories. AS the
new rule OF eastern roads not 10
haul coal west has cut on more than
half OF the daily supply of the Ed.
son company. and IS the company
has only a supply OF coal on hand
sufficient 10 keep the works going
for three days, II is apparent that
part OF the service must be cur.
tailed.
Tho the lighting OF homes is not
the most profitable part OF the bust
ness of the company. Mr.. Dow con
siders II the most important. and Il,
will be the last 20 feel the effects OF
the fuel famine. Unless coal comes
more freely within day or two
power will be turned OF by the com
rany 80 that there may be enough
coal TO keep the homes lighted
The war scare has helped TO make
the fuel situation more acute. The
government has suddenly called
upon all the mines with which II
has contracts 20 ship the coal at
once. Most OF these contracts are
with Pennsylvania and West Viz
ginia mines. and lhey are bending
every effort TO get 20 tidewater all
the coal the government needs In
a day or two the government con
tracts should be satisfied. however.
John McNally, traffic manager for
the Board OF Commerce. says he
does not anticipate much trouble in
Detroit on account OF the lack of
steam fuel Western coal. he says.
is good enough for ordinary pur-
poses. altho u Is not used much in
Detroit because better coal can or
dinarily be obtained. The western
coal will make steam. however, and
Detroit will use IL n necessary.
