LAST HEATLESS MONDAY?
Railroads Make Good Progress in
Hauling Fuel.

Washington, Feb. 4.-RailrOads on
Sunday made good progress in the
hauling of coal and both railroad and
fuel administration officials were en-
couraged in the hope that today would
be the last heatless Monday. Reports
of milder weather over most of the
country and the movement of greater
volume of coal provided the basis for
relief that the order requiring suspen-
sion of industrial activity on future
Mondays to save coal would be re-
scinded after a conference Tuesday be-
tween Fuel Administrator Garfield and
Director General McAdOo.
The railroads ignored the Sunday
holiday in an effort to clear the lines
to the coal mines. Danger of foods
still looms large, however, and the
railroads will work hard early this
week to accumulate small reserve
stocks of coal at consumption centers
in anticipation of later interruption Of
traffic by high waters and Ice jams
