Due to Gar Shortage.
Analysing the inability OF the
mines to produce the amount Of coal
they ere capable OF producing. the
geological survey states that two
thirds OF this inability was directly
due TO shortage of cars.
'''rhe national coal association reoor-
niyed that the railroads are congested
and crowded with freight far beyond
anything ever before experienced. but
this does not change the fact so far as
concerns the fuel conditions The tact
remains that we are face to face with
fuel famine. There ~ relief in sight

the situation. The public must re-
sogniZe that such orders are for it's
benefit, and therefore must help the

DR.. Garfield tonight said he had
asked Judge II. s. Lovett, director of
priority. to issue an order giving right
of way 10 coal and coke ears. empty
or loaded. This order, If granted,
will place fuel ahead of general
freight. Or. Garfield requested that
the order be made effective at the
earliest possible moment and to con-
ttnue further orders He end the

rial leaders, are now ava ting Judge
Lovett's action.

district TO which district these islands
are attached.
But this difficulty in respect to lead
ership in the campaign is expected
10 be easily settled this afternoon dur
Ing the meeting since Major Green
has intimated that he is too busy
TO aid in the work. and will tender his
resignation FROM the position to Gov

The appointment Of a chairman and
an advisory council is expected 10 ar.
rive by cable tonight from San Fran
cisco from James X. Lynch. in whom
is vested the right TO make the ap
pOintment for this territory because
OF the fact that he is head OF the
Il deraI reserve district under whose
jurisdiction these islands come.
There will be considerable discus
sion on the plan of campaign to be
adopted. The majority OF the lead
ing bankers and businessmen are in
fIVor OF forming a large committee
