 Active Operation

Washington, Nov. 6.-The coal distribution system, evolved by the railroad administration, has been set in full operation, Director General Hines announced tonight. Officials in every part of the country, who have been detailed to handle the diff ficulties attendant upon the coal strike, have begun the gathering of figures of supplies in hand, as well as meeting the urgent needs of stricken communities, Mir. Hines said.
 "Whenever possible coal being dis tributed in. accordance with the priority list established by the fuel administrator, where such coal is absolutely needed" he added, "there- fore, where there is real need for immediately with the railroad ordi- narily supplying the coal and every effort will be made to meet the de- mand.
 Ut is, of course, essential both because of the present bituminous coal strike and in order that the needs of the coming winter may be looked after, that fuel be used as economically as possible. 1t should also be remembered that the rail- roads did not interfere with the de- livery of coal until the strike began.
 "In order to conserve coal as much as possible, regional directors of railroads have been given authority wherever it seems necessary to eliminate for the time being train service, but in order to provide for the essential business needs of the country, no general curtailment of train service is contemplated. The maintenance of the public transpor- tation service is of paramount im- portance, in order to serve the countless needs of the general pub lie and the interruption of that ser vice should be minimized as far as possible"

VETS IN OHIO
 LEADING 0N hL.l. }.
 FOUR PROPOSALS
Amendment Legalizing 2.75 Beer Leads by Majority of
 l4,32S.
59 COUNTIES COMPLETES:
 RESULT NOT CERTAIN
Majority of 29,105 Against Ratifica- ton of the Federal Prohibition Amendment-Dry Victory
 Forecast.

Columbus, O.,~Nov. G.-Tuesday' s prohibition election results in Ohio show:
 1. Actual figures of returns from 59 out of SS counties showed vets in lead on all four prohibition pro posals.
 9. Secretary of state officials say that available figures indicated that the vets won in the defeat of the Crabbe state prohibition en- suit on the ratification of the Ohio legislatures endorsement of feder- al prohibition amendment will be close. They say the other two pro- posals, the repeal of the state wide prohibition and the 2i75 per cent! beer proposals, were defeated by the drys.
 3. L. H. Gibson, state manager of the vets, admits defeat on the 2.75 beer proposal, and also the de- feat of the proposal to defeat state wide prohibition. He states, how ever, that the vets defeated the Crabbe prohibition act and the fed eral prohibition amendment.
 4. J. A. White, state manager for the drys, claims all four propos- als.
 Vets Predicts Defeat.
 l.. H. Gibson, manager of the Ohio Home Rule association. (wet organ- ization) at his headquarters in Cincin- nati, tonight issued a statement giv ipn 1+et ;.I he said had been received bv him. These results showed the 275 per cent beer proposal to be defeated by PLATO; the proposal to repeal state wide prohibition defeated by 30,O6.; the federal prohibition amendment defeated by 9.566 and the Crabbe prohibition enforcement bill defeat ed by 27,9O8.
 The results from 59 counties receiv- ed at the secretary of states office are complete with the exception of from two to three precincts in less than half dozen counties.
 Of the 29 counties from which no returns have been received, all gave average dry maiorities last year of approximately 1000 except two whose total wet majority was 2,46O. Practically all the smaller dry coun- ties are increasing their dry majori- ties this year over last year. and figuring these increases. Statisticia1 Johnson says the federal amendment probably will be sustained by from g. 900 to 5000. The last two counties reporting tonight showed increased dry majorities over last year of approximately 400 each.
 Should the dry maiorities of year ago in the 29 counties yet to report be maintained without any increases, Johnson figures the 275 per cent beer proposal will be defeated by 13,- 556: the proposal to repeal state pro- hibition defeated by 27.166; the fed eral prohibition amendment defeat ed by 1.211 and the Crabbe prohibit tion enforcement measure defeated by 22,781.
 Johnson admits that the vote on the federal prohibition amendment will be so close that it may require the official count to determine the result.
