&.ie Administrator Has
CONFERENCE With Garfield
Before Taking Up Duties
oFFlcE TO BE IN CITY
Will Select Local Committees
and Start Inquiry Into
1916 Coal Prices
Bv a star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct 3.
William Potter. of Philadelphia. took the
oath OF office this morning as fuel admin
istrator Of Pennsylvania. He was closeted
long while with Mr.. Garfield and other
officials discussing with them the duties of
his Office. Until he is more familiar with
his duties and his studies the local situation.
Mr. Potter sent word over the telephone
from Mr.. Garheld's office, he will have
nothing to say for publication.
Mr.. Potter win have an office in Phila-
delphiR, and he will select the local COM
mittees who viii make an investigation 20
determine the retailers profit Before this
work is aco0 1plished however, he will
guide the inquiry into the profits Of 1915.
to which 80 per cent is to be added to
determine the tentative profit for the re-
taller this year.
AS State fuel administrator Mr.. Potter
will have an immense responsibility, not
only to the consuming public but also to
every element in the coal industry. His
power and influence in the life of Penn.
eylvania will be enormous. Virtually all
questions involving price, supply and dis
tributlor Of coal in Pennsylvania will be
settled by him. To him will be trans
nitted by his subordinates all charges of
violation of fuel control regulations.
whether by producers, jobbers, distribu-
tors or dealers. IL will be upon his recon-
mendatio1 that the law will be invoked
sgainss yiolators by the Federal fuel au-
thorities. --F q. 30 $685..
To him will be addressed appeals in
time of coal shortage, for supplies to
keep the wheels of individual Industries
turning. He will virtually apportion the
coa3 supply of the entire State, sending
coal to points where II is needed and
withdrawing coal from points where there
Is an oversupply. II boarding Of coal Is
reported, IL will be the duty Of Mr.. Potter
Co advise the Federal fuel administration
10 take action against the hoarders.
II IL ts found that coal companies are
supplying certain industries because
those industries are willing to pay a
price above the rate fixed by the Gov
ernnnont, while other industries are with
out fuel, IL win be Mr.. Potter's duty to
see that action is taken against the Offend
ing companies.
But Mr.. Potter's primary duty will be
20 see to II that the coal bins of the
homes of Pennsylvania are kept filed, and
hlled at a reasonable price.
Mr.. Potter Is undertaking a task OF
the greatest difficulty, one which calls
for administrative ability, tact fairness
and broad understanding. Many men have
been considered by the national fuel ad-
mlnistration for this position, and Mr..
Potter was finally chosen because his
record convinced the national officials
that he would hear the claims Of the
small consumer and Of the worker In the
coal mine with the readiest sympathy,
yet would Insist on a square deal for the
operators OF the industry.

SCANDINAVIA ISOLATED
BY BRITISH EMBARGO
Ban on All Shipments to North
ern Neutrals Makes
Crisis Acute
LONDON. oct. g..

LONDON. oct. 8.
Scandinavia and Holland are isolated
from the rest Of the world to day. so far
as the importation Of merchandise is con-
cerned, The United States had already de.
clared an embargo on shipments to these
neutrals, and now England follows with
the declaration that only newspapers and
magazines may be sent to Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Holland from this country.
This drastic action results from the dis
covery that the neutrals involved were
sending great quantities of foodstuffs into
Germany.
Just what effect the embargo will have
cannot be determined at this time. All the
scandinavian countries, as well as Holland,
are suffering from a scarcity of food, as well
as a coal famine, and the situation in
Sweden is especially severe.
The Swedish Ministry has resigned. and
there were reports from Stockholm today
of grave unrest.
