NEW YORK, Jan. %. That DR..

relieve the fuel situation in and
near New York was admitted to
day in kilograms sent to the fed
eral administration by the state
fuel administrator here.
The receipt of coal here has been
far below the city's requirements.
This was caused, according to the
message, by the railroads that have
not operated twenty-four hours
and have delayed transit of coal
and the unloading was not prose-
cuted to the fullest extent.

with the desire to make available the most expert and practical ability pos sible in the solving of the food prob lens of the nation and it was with the motive of the highest patriotism that these men went to Washington, rather than from any hope of self interest on the part of the individuals or the cor porations.
 The smearing of an essential in dustry with what in private life would be backstairs gossip, is rank injustice and therefore must not go unchallenged at this time, even if the perpetrator be paid attorney for a government bureau created to build up the business organization of the country, not to tear it down. We are asking no fayors of the trade commission and we have heretofore withheld public criticism of the unfair methods of this investiga- ton, but the circumstances provoke us to point out publicly the injustice of making of an important industry in war times a vehicle for the personal aggregandizement of an ambitious po litician.

TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-With the selection by employers representatives of former President William H. Taft as one of the two men to serve for the general public, the conference be- tween spokesmen of capital and labor which met today to frame the basis of a national labor policy, adjourned for a week to permit the workers to name the other member of the public.
 The conferees met at the call of the government to arrive at an agree ment governing relations during the war. Five men were named by the national industrial conference board and five by the American Federation of Labor and they with the two rep resentatives of the public will com pose a board of twelve.
 The selection of MT. Taft, officials said, would give prestige to the con- ference and impress on the public mind it's importance. The labor rep resentatives are expected to name a prominent man also and tonight ir was said that Associate Justice Bran dies of the supreme court might be asked to serve.
