indicated only sluggish freight move

trains were many hours late and some
were withdrawn.
About Chicago. the reports said from
seven TO ten inches or snow had fallen

snow was forecast for most OF the

In the face OF discouTasns wea ther

neither the fuel nor railroad admins

more serious coal shortage than has
prevailed for the past week.
The zone system of distributing coal
