Atlanta, Aug 9.-The Federal Board
for Vocational Training has requested
the Southern Commercial Congress to
hold a conference of the textile manu-

for the purpose Of evolving a plan OF
action to enable the southern states

dress as he was father of the move
ment which resulted in the passage

tined to be of immense benefit to Geor-

WorkIess Days Fail to End
Fuel Saving Campaign, Of
ficiaIs Indicate.
THE WEATHER MAY HELP

End of the f1ve-day period of en-
forced idleness will not end coal cur
tailment to the less essential indus
tries. it was indicated today at the fuel
administration. Though they may burn
coal they now have on hand, except on
Mondays. continued enforcement of
that part of the Garfield order which
establishes preferred list of consum-
ers automatically cuts off shipments to
plants engaged in less essential work.
How long this preferential shipment
section will remain in force depends on
the progress made toward clearing rail-
road congestion. Moderation of the
weather which came today and the lack
of an additional snowfall is counted on
to hasten the clearing up process.
Todav's reports showed that the flow
of coal eastward to the Atlantic sea-
board and New England was somewhat
greater and the supply of empty cars
to mining regions was large. Nowhere
was there any near approach to normal
conditions. however, and railroad ad-
ministration officials pointed out that
the full effect of the low coal produc-
tion and distribution would not be felt
for several days.
