Milder Weather Has Not Increased

The milder weather has not sub

into New England or stopped the daily
shrinking of our depleted reserves.
Our railroads are doing their best
but are utterly unable to cope with the
situation. Under the most favorable
circumstances they can carry not more
than one-third of the coal we need.
We see no possible relief or escape
from disaster unless coal moving to us
