and a substantial tonnage for the al- lies of the United States should they need it, if every consumer will use only such fuel as is necessary" said J. F. Welborn, member for this dis trict of the coal production commit tee recently named by the Council of National Defense. in a statement urg- ing economy, issued today.
 "A great many people are attempt ing to buy for immediate delivery the largest part, if not all, of their next years coal requirements. This natu- rally tends to create a shortage" the statement says, when normally there would be a surplus. No handlers of fuel will take advantage of this to exact exorbitant prices"
 The statement says Colorado mined onethird more coal in the first four months of this year than in the cor responding period last year, and if miners are exempted from military service, and especially if carriers are adequate. there should be no short age of Colorado coal this year in markets heretofore supplied by it."
