CITY AGAIN FACES
HARD COAL FAMINE
Fuel Administrator Reports
Only Few Hundred Tons Re-
ceived in Two Days.

Receipts of hard coal in Washington
yesterday and today were so small that
the city again is threatened with an
anthracite shortage. Under an ar
rangement made by Administrator
Weaver with the national fuel admins
tration, Washington now should be re-
ceiving an average of 3.40o tons of
anthracite a day. Combined receipts
for the two days were only few hun
dred tons.
Mr.. Weaver appealed again today to DR..
Garfeld's Office and was assured that a
lot of hard coal is on its way to the
capital. The railroads also reported a
great deal Of coal moving in this di-
rection. and it is the hope Of local fuel
officials that there will be heavy re-
ceipts over Sunday. Colder weather
and the prospects of snow, however,
leave them in an uneasy frame of mind.
Receipts of soft coal also have been
light for several days. but the BIZ
luminous situation is not yet cause
for alarm. Most of the soft coal which
came in this morning was consigned to
the government, but dealers have
stocks sufficient to keep private con-
sumers going for several days.

DEFEAT IS LIKELY
FOR 8-KOUR DAY
Not Probable BorIand Amend
ment Will Be Adopted
by the Senate.
MANY OUT IN OPPOSITION

While it looked week ago as though
the Borland amendment, forcing the
employees of the Department of Agri-
hours daily. would go through the Sem
ate with q rush. today it appears hard
ly probable that it will 60 through at
all.
Already a number of senators have
announced that they will vote against
this provision in the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, including Senators
Ashurst, Sheppard and Jones of Wash
ington. Many others have said that
they are inclined to vote against it.
With the exception of the senators
who in the committee on agriculture
voted for the Borland amendment few
have announced themselves in favor of
the proposition.
Promise Careful Consideration"
Members of the Senate appropriations
committee. which must handle the leg
islative, executive and judicial appro-
priations bill, said today they intended
to give the proposal to force the clerks
to work eight hours very careful con-
sideration. Senator Martin. chairman
Of the committee; Senator Smoot and
others made it clear that they did not
intend to be hurried into any such leg
islation. They will be called upon to
frame the measure which provides for
a very large majority of employees Of
the government in the District
Senator Ollie James. while he was
unwilling to say bow he finally would
vote on the proposition, said signifi-
cantly that he was a friend of the gov
ernment employees and of labor
Rule Must Apply to All.
Whether the principle of an eight
generally in Washington is to be en-
bodied in a law or not, it appears
probable that the Borland amendment
will be stricken from the agricultural
appropriation bill. If the principle
finds sufficient support it may be taken
measure. The senator's are unwilling
to apply to one department a rule
which will not apply to all.
If the eisht-hour day for government
employees comes up in a separate meas
ure the question of increased salaries
undoubtedly will be given considera-
ton along with it. With the establish
ment of an eight-hour day it is en-
tirely probable that a strong demand
for time and a half pay for overtime
work will be made.
