COAL CRISIS ACUTE

: Washington. Feb. 5.-With the East
facing the most acute coal shortage of
the winter and in the grip of the cold
est weather in a generation the govern
ment decided to-day that the heatless
Monday program cannot at this time be
abandoned as had been hoped.
The conclusion to continue the closing
was reached at conference between
Fuel Administrator Garfield and Director
General McAdoo attended by dozen
State fuel administrators. There was
no official announcement, but q Joint
statement probably will be given out to-
morrow. There had been every indica-
ton up to last night that the Monday
holidays were over, but reports brought
to Washington by the State fuel admin
istrators that throughout most of the
East there is on hand one days supply
of coal. coupled with the weather situa-
ton. were accepted as convincing proof
that the present is no time to lift the
closing order. Even Mr.. McAdoo, who
up to this time is understood to have
opposed the closing plan. was said to-
night to have agreed that until the
weather permits an Improvement in rail-
road transportation the order should be
continued in force
!, The blizzard has cut coal production
and movement to such an extent that
officials pointed out tonight that
even had the Monday closings been
abandoned industry would be forced to
close down to considerable extent
because of lack of fuel supplies. In
fact reports to the fuel administration
tonight showed that in many States
plants already are closing in large
numbers.
1t was emphasized that the fuel ad-
ministration is determined that what
coal Is unloaded and distributed shall
go to householders first. State fuel ad =
ministrators have been given almost
unlimited authority to divert coal from
other consumers to keep the people
warm In their homes.
For the first time since coal began
to run short fuel administration Of
fetal admit that the situation Is alarm
Ask. Report after report came dur
ing the day telling Of cities all the
way from the Mississippi to the At
lantic with but a few hours supply of
fuel on hand and prospects poor for
obtaining anything like the quanti-
ties needed.
In New England transportation was de-
clared hopeless. Trains were crippled and
an Atlantic storm had halted coal move-
ment by water. In Pennsylvania mines
were idle. cities were without coal and
trains were unable to move. All industry

Finally had such terrible spell of backache that l thought l would die.
