NEW ORDERS
MAY RELIEVE
COAL FAMINE
Schools Closed and Admin.
sitrator Considers Sunday
Closing Of Theaters.

VERY effective" action was taken
by the National Food Administra-
ton yesterday to relieve the shortage
of coal in the District.
This statement was made by Ed
ward F. Colladay. acting fuel admin
istrator for the District, following a
conference yesterday afternoon with
officials OF the United States Fuel
Administration.
The statement came after announce
ment had been made earlier in the
day by public school officials that
the public schools OF the city had
been forced to close for a three-day
period because Of a shortage of coal
Closing Of the schools was not the
result of action Of the local fuel ad-
ministration. 1t followed a confer
ence between Superintendent Thurs
ton and Board of Education oficials
with the District Commissioners.
Three schools were forced to close
because Of lack OF coal. and the ac-
ton closing all followed.
The heavy snow had made dlstri-
button OF coal from the local dumps
to the schools practically impossible,
It was said. Soft coal is used by the
schools, and there is plenty of that
on the dumps.
Closing Of all public amusement
places in order to save coal and the
possible changing Of heatless day
from Tuesday-as applied to them
to Sunday. still is undecided, Mr.. Col
laday said
Modihes Order.
Further modification ~ III. or6.r
closing the churches was announced
by Mr.. Colladay. The order does not
apply to Sunday school rooms,
chapels and parish halls, which are
heated by separate plants from
those used to heat the churches.
This ruling will allow all Sunday
school services to be held as usual
and most OF the weekday church
services can be conducted. restric-
ton Of which has caused strenuous
objections from congregations.
Another change in the order an
nounced was that churches may d.
vide the six and q half hour period
each Sunday when they may have
heat into two periods II they de-
sired to do so. Under this both
morning and evening services could
be held In all churches as usual.
Police investigation will be made
of homes OF those who aply for
coal through the emergency fuel
bureau. E. B. Eynon. in charge of
the bureau said yesterday. Another
step to prevent obtaining of coal
through the bureau by those not
actually In need Of It Is cutting all
orders to not more than a quarter
of ton. This would discourage
those not In need from obtaining
coal orders.
During two weeks. from January
IL to 26 anthracite coal received
in local freight yards averaged
1905 tons per day. a big drop below
the 1900 tons needed daily for the
city's needs.
