William Potter. State administrator.
announced today that industries will not

The only exception to this ruling is

however. even war industries are sub
iect to diversion of their fuel stocks to
relieve distress.
Here is the statement issued by Mr..
Potter explaining the ruling:
"It Is the hope of the admin stra ton
that by stringent economy and sensible
conservation measures the anthracite al
lotment will supply the needs of house.

allotted to industrial consumers of an.
thrscite sizes Is sufficient remains to bt
seen For these reasons no applica tior

+ commodities will be granted until late

The only exceptions to this ruling are
manufactu of war materials, who
must obtain an Endorsement by the
various departments of the Government
to whom they are supplying war ma
terials Of the imperative need of do
mestic sizes to maintain production
When exemptions are granted by the
National Administration they must bs

Furthermore. II is provided that ever

"Amons the measures that will imme
