Fuel Order Effective
When Atlanta Rules
~ 70

/. ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 10.--The ma
Etionwidk fuel regulations announced
from Washington Mon. night will not
apply h the southern region of the
UAitsE&sS sStates-sailroad administration
"until Atlanta gives out the ruling"
the regional coal committee announc-
ed last night.
1t was explained that the southern
regional committee had suggested to
the central committee at Washington
certain changes in the nationwide re-
gulations and that until these had
been acted upon the Washington reg
ulations would not be prolonged in the
southern region. Until such time it
was added, the regulations announced
here ovember 20, with the various
notifications will remain in effect.
The committee also announced that
should the soft coal strike be termin-
ated as hoped by the miners repre-
sentatives now meeting at Indianapo-
lis the fuel conservation program
could not be abandoned Immediately.
1T will take at least ten days and
perhaps considerably longer to bring
the distribution of coal back to any
thing like normal basis" the an
nouncement read, "and until this is
done the railroads must operate the
distribution machinery set up to meet
the crisis and the public must be asked
to continue observance of the conser-
vation measures. Until coal is COM
ing freely from the mines, and there
has been time for at least part of
the increased production to move to
destination, there can be no real
change in local situations.
