Washington, Nov. 1.-The 1917 coal shortage is put at 0,00O, 900 tons in estimates completed today by the fuel of bituminous and anthracite together has jumped 50 100000 tons. consump- ton it is declared, has increased 100. .o0o, 900 tons.
 Immediate measures to meet the sit uation planned by Fuel Administrator Garhel dinclude curtaiiment of ship rnents to essential industries, priority orders designed to increase the car supply and a cam paign for coal conservation in manufacturing estab. lishments and households.
 Previous statements from the fuel administration had indicated the be- lief that the increased production might meet the enlarged demand. Mu- nitions plants, however, are said to be using fully 50 per cent. more coal than they did year ago and other lines of industry stimulated by war conditions are demanding nearly as large an in crease in their supplies.
 The fuel administration is deter mined said Dr. Garfield today, that war industries. public utilities and do- mestic consumers shall be supplied. To this end the fuel administration expects the cooperation of every coal user in the country. The fuel admin istration win use all of its authority to prevent the waste of fuel and the unnecessary use of coal. Domestic users will be urged to conserve their supplies.

coal in industry threatens to embarrase war industry, the fuel administration will see that the war needs are filled. All activities which are unnecessary to the maintenance of the military or economic efficiency will have to give way by curtailment to the necessities of war and this must be accomplished without undue curtailment of the do- mestic supply.
 'This policy is expected to relieve not only. the demand for coal, but . part of the enormous pressure on the transportation facilities of the coun- try"
 Dr. Garfield illustrated the increased demand for coal by pointing to the requirements of the Bethlehem Steel company, which is consuming this year 3.000, 900 tons more than it took in 1916. The demands of the govern ment. including the requirements of the fighting forces of the army and navy, jumped this year from 2,0O0, ,060 to s,0Oo,0 tons. The requirements of public utilities companies have in creased about B per cent. Most of this increase was due to the increased use of power by munitions plants.
 Solution of the car shortage prob lem. officials believe, will do as much toward increasing the supply to meet the demand as will curtailment of 1n- dustry, although the best possible use of transportation facilities still would leave the country. many millions of tons short of fuel. Curtailment VII be enforced to a point where con sumption and production are balanced.
