 -Ir. Storrow has sent the following telegram to those who served with him in the previous crisis as fuel ad- rninistra tors:
 Have been asked by the New England Federal Fuel Committee, of which I am vice-chairman, to under take enforcement of Federal Fuel regulations for New England hope you will consent to serve as No soft or steam coal has come into Federal representative in your city. New England by railroad for three weeks and consumption of our rail- roads alone greater than all water coal moving to New England. Please be kind enough to seek co-opera ton of your mayor and then begin at once to act along lines of United States Fuel Administrators reguIa- tions."
 ! esterday afternoon MT. Storrow issued the following statement:
 T have not yet had the time to effect an organization, but it is my duty to warn every user of light or power, in New England, tha- these regulations must be strictly followed and must be regarded as in full force now The lights in your office must be out at o'clock; heat must be turned off in every office building promptly at I; stores must ot use more than six hours of artificial light The Retail Trade Boz i'd has selected the hours from - 30 to s:SO for keeping the store open. recom- mend that the same hours be observ- ed by all stores, but until further mo- t1ce, store can select it's own hours but must observe the six hour limit.
 Show-vindow lights. electric signs, illuminated bilIboards and other dis play lighting must not be used, be- ginning tonight. by anyone. whether store, hotel, restaurant, bowling alley. theatre, or anyone else
 Cabarets, dance halls, pool rooms bowling alleys, must not be lighted or use heat atfer Il o'clock D. m. begin ming tonight
 No New England factory today is able to obtain fresh coal Unless con ditions change rapidly, when this rap- idly dwendling coal pile gives out. the ASeStOiy 4iiuSI smut down. All retail dealers are forbidden to deplete the stock of soft coal in their yards bv deliveries to factories under any cir cumstances, except to prevent plants from freezing.
 T ought to remind the New Eng land people that not a pound of bi- luminous or steam coal is coming to New England over our railways and has not been, for 20 days. This was never true even for a single day dur ing the war It is also true that not a pound of coal is being loaded on any barge or steamer COT z to New England, except q reQuess is made the central committee in Washington for license to load that particular barge or steamer: and very few of these licenses are being granted; so that both by sea and iand New Eng lands supply of steam coal has been reduced to 25 per cent. of our daiiy needs We are living on our reserves, which are dwindlfng fast.
 We shall have no standing with the Federal committee at Washington, and will not succeed in getting even the present scanty number of steam CTS and barges unless we observe strictly the Federal regulations
