Montpelier. Jan. 25.--Stats Fuel Al.
ministrator Jones has sent the follow
ing letter to the members of the local
fuel committees: ,. s.. .r
Everything at the present time in
dicates that practically all bituminous
coal Is being diverted 70 Industries
working on government orders. The
non essential industries should not be
considered until the railroads are able
to transport and deliver sufficient coal
to meet the needs of those that are es-
sential This practically means q ban
on non essentials, and the only way
that Vermont can relieve such indus
tries Is to save coal. The saving of
coal effects two results: first, the &C.
tual saving Of coal; second. relief to
the railroads by a decrease in shipment
through saving.
The trouble at the present time IL largely
one Of transportation. The mines, no
doubt. can produce all the coal necessary
for domestic purposes. but as the railway
facilities are not adequate for handling
the great excess of freight created by the
present high pressure in manufacture. con-
servation of railway traffic for the pur-
pose OF sending material and munitions
across is a stubborn necessity.
Every town and city in Vermont must
now curtail all public amusements of
every kind. The local fuel committees
should take steps Immediately to stop
dances and all unnecessary gatherings in
halls requiring fuel for heat. The moving
picture houses furnish the largest per-
centage of our people with amusement,
but urge all Of them to curtail in some
way. I think only one picture house
should remain open in our villages and
smaller cities and not more than two in
our larger cities. and all Of them should
burn wood instead OF coal. don't believe
that the citizens of Vermont want to
sacrifice essential industries for the sake
OF amusements Of any nature.
The time for talking has ceased and
we must have action right now, not
only in Vermont but all over our coun.
try, else our essentials will surely suf-
| fer.
These suggestions are a warning to
the people of Vermont to wake up and
each locality should at once put into
effect such rules and regulations as
will produce the greatest saving of
coal.
The closing down of industries and
business on Mondays means not only
the actual saving Of coal. but It also
assists the railroads. because the saw
ing In production reduces the amount
of freight to be handled. The latter,
in my judgment. 10 equally as impor-
tant as the mere saving Of coal.
| strongly urge at this time that the
local fuel committees make q direct
a mn In h0 n H. 80
ton for their assistance to conserve in
their various industries,
Please bear in mind that all indus
tries working on government orders
must keep going and troops and sup
plies must be transported. and II 10 for
US to sacrifice everything else to win
our fight for democracy,
