1 s. RAILROAD ADMIN
lSTRATION DIRECTOR
GENERAL OF RAILROAD

'Dr. Harry A. Garfield, United
States Fuel Administrator, TO-
day authorized the following
statement: 1t is necessary that
coal shall be used only for e.
sential purpose. Public utilities
consuming coal sholld discon-
tinue to furnish power heat and
fpht to non-assential industries
and should only consume SUI
fcient coal to produce enough
light, power and heat to meet
the actual urgent needs OF the
people. Advertising signs and
displays Of various kinds neces-
stating the use of coal should
be curtailed and no coal should
be distributed fer such pgr-
poses. Pursuant to this policy,
have requested the Railroad
Administration in the dlstrlbQ-
ton of coal now TO hereafter in
+ its possession to limit distrlbu-
ton to these essential and
urgent uses as far as practl-
cable until conditions warrant .
change. The distribution CT
coal will be limited to the first
five classes OF the priority list.
Retail dealers who distribute
coal for household requirements,
heating hotels, building, hos
pitfalls. etc, should take every
precaution to see that coal IS
only delivered where it IS
absolutely required and then
only in such limited quantities
that the supply may be distribut
ed widely and prevent suffering.
The State and other local
authorities can materially aid in
inspecting and supervising such
distribution by retail dealers
and the L. S. Gov. will be glad
to leave the supervision and cor
troll of such distribution by re-
tail dealers entirely to any
State, county or municipality
which may make provision
therefor. The distribution to
the retail dealers must neces-
sarily be administered by the
Railroad Administration in
pursuance of the orders already
made by the United States Fuel
Administration in carrying out
the priorities which have been
described under the Lever Act
