servation of Fuel for Domestic Uses

Washington, Dec. 2.--The govern
ment frightened its grip on the coal
situation today IN three directions
reaching 10 the railroads. the inland
waterways and to foreign shipping,
The most important of the steps
announced today to make the coal sup
ply meet the minimum needs of the
nation until the operators can iny
crease production was the giving nj
authorization to regional railroad di-
rectors TO discontinue passenger trains
where they can be hest spared
This announcement was made To-
night by Director General Hines in
the following statement
with view to further conserve
ton OF coal by the railroad adrninis-
tration, regional directors have been
instructed TO review the situa ton care
fully and have been authorized to
eliminate passenger trains which can
be SHARED with the least Inconvenience
to the passenger public"
The railroad administration also an
nounced that coal for consumption or
the inland waterways would hence
forth be put on the same basis as
coal on railroads.
Cut Out Foreign Ships
The third announcement Of the gov
ernments policy In conserving coal
was that on and after midnight NJ
December-5 the supplying of coal to
foreign ships in American ports would
be stopped. This announcement
means that the regionai directors who
