About the time that Schwab was

over to New York, and, of course, was
entertained at a dinner. There he

TO INCREASE COAL SUPPLY

This End.

Washington.-Every government in.

coal, and little fear of serious short.
age is felt among officials here. This
was indicated at the White House, aft

tions OF the country that retailers could
not fill orders because OF low stocks.
Officials pointed out that similar con-
ditions exist nearly every year at this
time. Persons who discussed the COS
situation with President Wilson OK
pressed the belief that with the pre-
iiminary arrangements for supervising
coal production and distribution abou,
completed by the fuel administration.
definite results in the way OF insur.
ing steady flow of coal to the mar
kets would be evident soon. Within a
week all state coal administrators
probably will have been named. and
will be cooperating with DR.. Garfield

coal commission to stimulate output
