was brought about when IT was learn

their states first from the mines
without any regard for the needs 0.
coal in other sections. Similar act
ion will be taken by governors 10
other westera states.
He also Is urging all coal dealers
in this state 10 place their orders
early for coal as there is an apparent
shortage and Ia case the government
drafts the coal for eastern states the
shortage In this state will be acute
In this connection the railroad
commission is issuing an order re-
ouesting Nevada coal dealers to &C
cent shipments OF coal In any kind Of
ears. Some dealers have been refus-

plenty of 80 to 40 ounce ore in other
