Priority Fuel Order
Will Force Closing of
Non-EssentiaI Plants

New York today VIII submi. 20 a
system of enforced coal distribution
that is expected 10 eventually close
the doors Of all uon-essential ;ndus-
tries, unless there is an unexpected in-
crease in the daily deliveries of coal
to the city.
Pending some action by Chief Fuel
Administrator II. A. Garfield OH the
proposal to declare a three day a-weeS
holiday, thus placing all industries on
a half-tme basis, local administrators
mapped out a plan of distribution that
is expected to take care of the essen-
t;al industries and let others take care
of themselves as best they can.
The programme adopted. which w:t
go into immediate effect, involves the
distribution oil coal TO consumers here
in the following order:
l. Hospitals
. Households and public utilities.
whish includes apartment houses and
all dwellings.
8 Food producers, including ba-
keres and ali industries having 20 do
with the supplying of the food neces-
saries Of life, but not the luxuries.
May Be Little Left
After these wants have been filled,
according to State Fuel Administrator
Albert H. Wiggin, other applicants for
fuel Will be gwen as nearly the amount.
of coal required as Is possible. II Is
generally admitted. however, that ur-
less the shipments TO the city are N
creased substantially there will be lit
tie lett for the final distribution.
In making this announcement the
local fuel administrator made IT evil
dent thai he placed responsibility for
the failure of much more fuel to arrive
on the railroads which have dumped
hundreds of thousands of tons Of fuel
on the Jersey side of the North River
and there, apparently, felt that their
task was completed.
But with the river filed with ice
foes tina. already have sent eleven coat
barges so the bottom in thirtysix
hours and make navigation by such
craft next TO impossible. and the fuei
sent through the Pennsylvania tubes
lmost a minus quantity coal on the
other side o. the river IS of about AZ
much value 10 the CITY as if it had
remained in the mines.
Mr.. Wiggin made plain his views on
the subject in this terse statement:
"Unloading of coal at The docks on
Sunday was most unsatisfactory.
The tota! unloading Of both anthra-
cite and bituminous vas l.i6l cars
The docks. under normal winter con-
ditions can handle over l,s00 cars
day. 1t is most important that the
railroads use every effort To speed
up the work so that All docks will
work twenty four hours dav and
bring them up 70 ca0acity. as the
maximum amount of coal is needed
every day at the Port of New York"
Final figures compiled in the Office Of
Reeve Schley, Fuel Administrator for
New York County, indicated that 30 900
tons Of coal had reached the Nanhat-
tan side of the North River by night.

McAdoo's schedule.
When the favored consumers have
received their share Of coal IN the
order named the rest will be APP
portiored among the less essential
industries. Food producers, such
as bakers, get their coal with pub
lie utilities.
Reports that 100000 tons Of ship
ping engaged in carrying muni-
tions to Europe were tied up in
New York for lack of coal led Mr..
McAdoo to give shipments destined
.-sfor such vessels priority even over

Coal receipts in New York were
slightly in excess of the daily aver
age for the last two weeks. but the
rate at which carloads are piling
