Ne1o York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau


WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-War-time
coal trade regulation practically will
cease March l, the Fuel Administration
announced to-day. March l has been
fixed tentatively for abrogation of the
administrations order No. 1886, prohib-
lting shipment Of coal for reconsign-
ment, and the order of November 6.
1917, under which all shippers of coal
moving to tidewater at the ports Of
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Hampton Roads were required to CON
sign the shipments to the Tidewater
Coal Exchange.
Suspension of the Fuel Administra-
ton requirements compelling shippers
to operate through the tidewater ex-
change in nowise affects the continued
operation of the Tidewater Coal Ex
change through any voluntary arrange
ments made by shippers and the rail
road administration.
These are the last two of the orders
under which the coal industry has been
keyed up to meet the war needs" said
statement issued by the Fuel Admin
lstrataon Some restrictions, which
slmplltled distribution problems, were
suspended February /, and the high
pressure production organization of
the Fuel Administration gradually has
loosened its grip on the mine regions
since the signing of the armistice. The
Fuel Administration retains a skeleton
organization ready for expansion for
any emergency"

The Rev DR. William Adams Brown,
of the Presbyterian Church. who is
secretary of the General Wartime
Commission of the Churches, said;
1--WE are not here to register a fact.
to express a faith and to embrace an
opportunity, The fact is, that the
churches of this country have been
working together during the war The
faith IS that they viii continue to
work together now that the war is
over. The opportunity is to furnish
them with the means of doing their
work effectively during the transition
period p S. between war and peace, that
through this present cooperation the
foundation may be laid for still more
effective cooperation in the future.
The purpose for which the inter
church emergency campaign is being
carried on is twofold In the first
place, 1t aims to secure for each of the
cooperating bodies the funds that if
needs to do its own share of the
after-war emergency work. In the sec

churches are doing together
but the financial aspect of our
campaign is the least important fea-
ture of it. 1t is the symbol and nledee
