CHICAGO GETS COAL.
Traffic on Railroads Expected to 81
Back to Normal by Monday.


Back to Normal by Monday.
Chicago, Jan. 19.-Reports today by
railroad officials on the. movement OF
coal and the clearing of their lines
were optimistic and indicated that the
majority Of the twenty-seven railroads
with terminals in this city would be
operating on normal schedules by next
Monday provided no serious snow
storms interfere.
During the last twenty-four hours
1925 car loads Of coal were received in
Chicago and there are $500 railroad
cars in outside yards that had not been
switched.
A more cheerful view Of the coal
order was taken today. 1t is realized
that under normal conditions Satur-
day would have been a half holiday
for many affected and that there re-
mained but two work days during
which the factories are to remain
closed. In the meantime doubt has
been dissipated, as the local fuel ad-
ministration is taking firm grip on
the coal situation.
The spirit Of the order as we'll as the
technical observance of it was prac-
tically complete today.

Aims Of Assembly.
The constituent assembly, according
to proelama tion issued bysth revolu-
tionary government last March, will
issue fundamental laws, guaranteeing
the country the inlnintabe rights OF
equality and hbertyns Failure to issue
a call to the elections of the assembly
was one Of the causes contributing to
the downfall Of the Kerensky govern
ment. The bolsheviki government is
sued the call for the election soon after
the revolution.
An attempt to open the assem- ably
was made on Dec. -. but no progress
was made. The results Of the election
| were unfavorable to the bolsheviki, the
social revolutionists gaining the great =
est number Of members. The bolsheviki
are reported TO have been using var
ious measures to gain control of the
assembly. even going so far as to call
special elections to replace opponents
Of their ideas.
On Jan. Is it seemed probable then
that the assembly would contain ma
jority against the bolsheviki On the
previous day the social revolutionsts
had issued a manifesto denouncing the
bolsheviki as usurpers.
