PREFERENTIAL STANDS

The fuel Administrations preferential
order calling for the distribution of coal
first to householders, ships, public insti-
tutions, and favored war industries, will
stand as well as will the railroad admin
istrationIs order giving preferential rail
movement to coal and food. These two
orders, it is declared, will guarantee coal
to consumers which the government is
determined to see supplied, although the
less essential industries are expected to
suffer and some may have to close down.
Officials make no secret of the fact that
had rail embargoes been declared in the
first place the industrial closing order
would not have been issued. The en-
bargoes were placed at the urgent re-
quest of the fuel administration, which
contended that the effects of the closing
order would be nullified by weather con
ditions unless the step was taken.
Officials of the railroad administration
believe return of good weather will
speedily restore the transportation sys-
tenn and that this will solve the fuel prob
lem. They say that the Monday closing
has disoranized industrial activities ard
actually has hampered railroad operation
by making it impossible to load and I'M
load cars promptly.
GARFIELD EADY
Fuel Administrator Garfield has not
been ready to revoke the closing order,
despite the great amount of pressure
brought to bear by commercial interests,
until assured that the embargoes would
be continued. Since he now has this as
surance as result of the conference
today, he is prepared to rescind the order
If reports from state fuel administrator
show that the closing already effected
has served its purpose. He has deter
mined that there shall be no more modi-
fications or general exemptions, but that
everything shall be put on an equal foot
ing if any change is made.
The big department stores sought to
have the order changed to permit all
shops to remain open siv or seven hours
six days week. but the small stores on
posed that kind of a modification, on
the ground that large part of their
trade is carried on early in the morning
and late in the day. They wanted spe-
cial arrangements made for them
At conference here next Monday of
10 state fuel administrators, called To-
day, DR.. Garfield expects to get complete
information on the coal situation to learn
the exact effects of the closing order and
discuss future policies as to power to be
given to state administrators in putting
into effect local measures. The states to
be represented are chiefly in the east and
are those which are said to have felt the
coal shortage most severely They are:
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut. New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Delaware, Ohio and Michigan.

When we see a little blossom

With the flower we cherished so. led
We shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part no never

Whereas, God in His infinite wis

little ones, Ethel Roberts. whose
eleven short beautiful years were
as a glimpse to her beloved parents
Of the Home to which she has gone;
whose daily intercourse with teach
ers and playmates was one Of pure
and innocent joy, and whose dear
