MILLION TONS
OF COAL every
MONTH FOR N. {.

Washington, Feb 1S-Transporta-
ton for 100000 tons of coal a month
was assured for New England today
by Chairman Hurley of the Shippins
Board, and Director General McAdoo
of the railroad administration. Six
hundred thousand tons of the coal
will go by water and 400, 900 tons by
rail.
Assurances that the coal and
transportation would be furnished
were given today to a delegation of
New England labor leaders sent here
labor men saw President Wilson on
Saturday and today saw navy, ship
ping board fuel administration nd
rilrod administration officials They
declared that unless 1 100000 tons of
coal month was furnished to New
England $4,000 men would be without
work within 10 days and eventually
100000 would be idle.
New England has been short of
coal most of the winter. Earlier in
the season the shipping board in
creased the number of vessels carry
ing coal from Hampton Roads to New
England, but found that the war and
navy departments nd taken so many
ships for their own use that it was
almost impossible to obtain enough
tonnage. Now the navy department
has agreed to assist in furnishing the
ships.
