have filed all the orders which
are ahead of them.
As there will probably not be
enough coal to fill all the orders,
it is more than likely that those
who are able to pay for and store
;oal and fail to- do so will not be
able to obtain coal next winter.
Therefore place your orders now
md let the mines or dealers fill
them when your turn comes. 1t
may be several weeks before you
are reached.
Those of our people who can
not obtain storage space, or who
are SO poor they are unable to
secure the money to pay for
their coal will be taken care OF
as far as it is possible. may
not be able to get them as much
as they need. but as long as any
coal is to be had the poor and
defenseless shall be taken care
of to the best of my ability.
1 want the mothers of oul
boys who are fighting for ouI
country to know, that as long as
there is lump of coal above
ground in Tennessee they shall
not suffer.

am receiving letters from ali
over the state. complaining
about slow deliveries of coal.
The following is the situation:
Many o f our people have
needed my urgent advice to lay
in their coal as soon as possible.
This. together with the enormous
amount of coal required for the
new war industries and the rail
roads. has given the mines more
orders than they can fill imme-
diately.
The mines are filling these
orders in proper rotation as fast
as possible. It will probably
take so to go days to fill all the
orders now on hand.
l will allow the mines or the
dealers to fill orders whenever
they can get coal with which to
fill them.
l suggest that people who
have orders already placed keep
in direct touch with their deal
.crs or mines, and see to it that
they are not overlooked when
their time is reached.
The coal problem gets graver
each day. 1t is practically GER
tain that there will not be
enough coal to supply all of our
needs next winter. Therefore,
