In the grip Of the drastic fuel reg
ulations issued by the United States
Fuel Administration and effective
over the entire nation ait noon last
Monday, Paris this week began OBJ
serving the wartime restrictions on
the consumption of the nations rap
idly dwindling coal supply The en-
foreement of this order was the first
real intimation of the seriousness of
the coal situation that has been felt
locally, although it is intimated that
further and more sweeping restric-
tions may be issued before the sit
uation is clarified.
The new regulations, which went
into effect Monday at noon, are as
far-reaching in many respects as
those of the war winter of 1917-18,
and include the entire nation. In its
statement to the public the fuel ad-
ministration stated that unless the
miners return to work in such num-
bers as to provide a substantial in
crease in coal at an early date, "stilli
further restrictions may become nee
essary, and consideration will have
to be given to the distribution of
ks of coal now in the possession
1ustries not considered vital,"I
