ATTY. MORRIS DENIES
HALE'S STATEMENT

In the issue of June 27, 1918, of the
National Advocate the following state
ment over the signature of Philip F,
Hale is unauthorized and untrue:
"If you do not believe what we say,
call up Mr.. William R. Morris, attor-
ney at law, in the Metropolitan build
ing, and he will tell you that he does
not allow the Twin City Star to- come
into his Office, and could not and
would not endorse this paper under
any circumstances"
(Signed) VIM. r. NORRIS.
Phil Hale, after writing series of
Hbelous articles in the Advocate
against Editor Smith, has asked The
Star for retraction of certain state
ments recently published. The Editor
of The Star will retract when wrong,
but those articles about Hale are
TRUE, and extremely moderate under
the circumstances. Can't retract those
statements.

Distributors of Farm
Tools To Be Licensed
President Says Order Was
Necessary to Insure
Food Supply

WASHINGTON, May 16.-All persons
and firms engaged in the importation.
manufacture, storage and distribution
Of farm machinery and equipment, ex-
cept those specifically exempted by the
food control act, will be placed under
license next June 20. under a proclama-
ton issued tonight by President Will
son.
This action is regarded by the Presi-
dent as necessary to assure an adc-
quate food supply and is expected TO
meet the insistent complaint of the
farmers that the prices of their prod
ucts were being regulated, but that
there was no regulation Of the things
they had to buy.
Unjust profits, resales within the
trade without reasonable justification,
attempts to monopolize, unreasonable
increases in prices or restrictions of
supplies and wilful waste of farm
equipment are prohibited under regu>
lations issued simultaneously with the
proclamation. Licenses are enjoined
not to sell farm equipment to persons
known to have violated any of the pro-
visions of the food control act.
The Secretary Of Agriculture was
designated to carry out the regula-
tions. and Secretary Houston named
Julius F. Cook. of New York, as his
assistant in charge If the work.

New England Faces
A Coal Shortage
Orss Says Last Winter Will
"Look Like Easy
Time"

BOSTON, May 16.-Coal shortage for
New England next winter that will
make last winters serious situation
"look like an easy time" was predicted
by Everett Orss, of the priorities COM
mittee of the War Industries Board,
addressing a group of leading textile
manufacturers here to-day.
"The government" he said, "realizes
that it is falling down on coal ship
ments into New England at rate of
about 10000 tons a day. l am afraid
that the programme as laid down is by
no means safe. We might as we'll face
the situation. Should the shortage
come next winter, war industries will
get the coal and those not engaged on
war work will not. The general public
does not yet realize the seriousness of
the war as it is appreciated in Wash
ington.
every pound of coal saved to-day
will be a pound available next winter
when the coal famine is on. To supply
war industries and domestic users of
coal next winter is very large propo-
sition and one that is bound to cause
uneasiness. l recommend to every man
on war work, direct or indirect, that
he make his application to be placed
on the preference list. You cannot rest
upon the assumption that you are on
the preference list"
