WASHINGTON. Dec. Is The
fuel situation throughout the coun-
try showed no improvement today.
There is an acute shortage in many
places and nowhere is there an ade-
quate supply. Fuel administrators
from all sections are deluging the
fuel administrator with appeals for
aid. He is. however, able TO do
little. it was admitted. In fact Dr.
Garfield himself has taken the posi-
ton that only a leSsening of con-
sumption will help.
The representatives Of the coal
interests here place the blame on
the failure Of the railroads 10 get
sufficient cars 10 the mines 10 move
the output This is sharply denied
by the railroad men who say they
are moving more coal than ever
before i'm the history Of the nation.
The unusually cold weather for this
time of year which prevails all over
the country is the real reason they
say. And the railroad men. like DR..
Garfield, believe that the best relief
plan is to secure cooperation from
coal users.
MAY Ask Some TO Close.
The suggestion has been made to
the coal administrator that theaters
and institutions that are entirely
not essentials be asked 10 shut down
for a couple of weeks during the
holidays. Such action would save
fuel in every locality. even in the
small communities. it is explained.
The suggestion is one Of the many
now before DR.. Garfield.
Munitions, food and fuel now are
being preferred for movement on all
railroads in the east. An embargo
has been laid by the railroads on
non essentials but it was stated to-
day that it very likely will be sew
eral days before any effective result
can be expected. Tn the meanwhile
