TO SPEED SOFT
COAL E4STH4 ARD
The Fuel Board Amends the Zone Sys-
tenn of Distribution Of
Coal.

Washington, April l5.--To assure Al
increased movement of bituminous Goa
to points in eastern Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and New England. the fuel ad
ministration Saturday night issued al
order amending the zone system Of btu.
minous coal distribution as it affects the
markets in Baltimore and Washington.
Under the order, which becomes effec.
tive April 20, coal originating on the
Pennsylvania railroad, Monogahea rail
road and Huntington 4 Broad Top Noun
tain railroad and their short line connec-
tions in Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Maryland, when routed by the Penn
svlvania railroad, is embargoed from
Baltimore and Washington markets.
To meet this situation, the fuel admin
istration will arrange for the essential
supply for these markets from mines on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, the West
ern Maryland railroad and their connec-
lions, which roads afford much more
direct route to these points.
The order, the administration an
nounced, will save vast amount OF time
and mileage to the Pennsylvania lines,
thus assuring an increased movement
of coal to points in eastern Pennsylva-
mia. New Jersey and New England.

EXEMPTION OF
LABOR REFUSED
The Sabotage Bill Goes to the Senate,
Carrying Grave Penalty for
Strikes

Washington. April l5.-The joint con.
ference on the so-caled sabotage bill
Saturday struck out all reference to
strikes by labor engaged in war in
dustries. thus making labor amenable to
he broad restrictions of the measure.
The conferees voted to eliminate section
3, a. demanded by the Senate in vote
on Thursday, under which labor would
have been privileged to stop work in
an effort for higher wages or better
conditions of work Besides this, they
struck out the Cannon amendment, max
ing il unlawful for laboring men en-
gagged in war work TO 90 on strike.
Organized labor had demanded the
elimination of the Cannon amendment,
while Samuel Gompers, president OF he
American Federation OF Labor, had an-
nouneed himself as strongly advocating
the retention of section 3, so as not to
make it an offense for laboring men TO
cease work in the interest Of higher pay.
The conferees in deciding to eliminate
all reference to strikes in the bill yield
ed to labor's demands as to the inhioi-
ton against strikes while opposing them
as to the privilege to strike.
As one of the conferees expressed it:
THE conference decision was an entirely
neutral one"

Senate, anyone who interferes with work
