AllDay Conference With
Rail War Board Fruitless.

: Washington. Dec. Confusion over
requests from various government
quarters for priority Of shipment for
food, fuel and munitions appeared far
from cleared UP tonight after an ALL
day conference between government
heads ana railroad war board officials.
IAN order drawn up by Robert s.
LOvett, director Of priority. directing
that food. fuel and munitions be put in
a special classification for movement
ahead Of general freight. was held up
at the last minute and it was indicated
that the whole question would be re-
ferred to the inter-d departmental war
council for a decision Monday.
No announcement was made after
the conference. but it was learned that
the food and fuel administrations have
reached an agreement as to preferen-
tial movement of food and fuel and that
each is willing that the two be classed
together along with war supplies.
Vigorous objection. however. it was
said. came from the railroad board
against any general priority order. The
railroads. they hold, best can clear the
present freight congestion through
their pool. Coal. they declared. already
is beginning to move under the unoffi- :
cial arrangement made by the eastern
operating committee which puts coal
ahead of general freight
