The policy of DIR. Hurry Garfield,

outlined in a letter received this

the copy cf a telegram from Dr Gar
field to the regional directors of the
railroads. The telegram is as fol
lows.
'It is necessary that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes.
Public utilities consuming coal should
discontinue to furnish power, heat
and light to nOn-essential industries
and should only consume sufficient
coal to produce enough light, power
and heat to meet the actual urgent
needs of the people
advertising signs and displays of
various kinds necess.tlting the use
of coal should be curtaied and no
coal should be distributed for such
purposes. Pursuant to this policy |
have requested the railroad admins
tration in the distribution of coal
now or hereafter in its possession
TO limit distribution to these essen
tial and urgent cases. As far as
practicable until the conditions war
rant a change the distribution Of
coal will be limited to the first five
classes CT the priority list. Retail
dealers who distribute coal for house
hold requirements, heating hotels,
buildings, hospitals, etct., shou' axe
every precaution to see that coal is
only delivered where it is absolutely
required and then only in such linn
tied quantities that the supply may
be distributed widely and prevent
suffering.
THE state and other local authori-
ties can materially aid in inspecting
and supervising such distribution by
reatil dealers and the U. S. govern
ment will be glad to leave the su
pervision and control of such distri
button by retail dealers entirely t,
any state, county, or municipality
which may make provision therefor
The distribution to retail dealers
must necessarily be administered by
the railroad administration in pursu
ance Of the orders already made BY
the U. S. Fuel Administration in car

been prescribed under the lever act
The order from the general pas
