Garfield said, will be asked to CO.

will be done through the regional
coal committees set up by the rail-
road administration.
ut is necessary that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes"
said DIR. Garfield's statement, ex-
planning the governments action.
Public Utilities consuming coal
should discontinue to furnish power.
heat and light to non-essential indus
tries and should only consume suffi-
Gent coal to produce enough light.
power and heat to meet the actual
urgent needs Of the people. Adver-
Using signs and displays of various
kinds necessitating the use of coal
should be curtailed and no coal
should be distributed for such pur-
poses.
Pursuant to this policy have re-
quested the railroad administration
in the distribution of coal now or
hereafter in it's possession to limit
distribution to these essential and
urgent uses. AS far as practicable
until the conditions warrant a
change, the distribution of coal will
be limited 20 the first five classes of
the priority list.
Retail dealers. who distribute coal
for household requirements. heating
hotel buildings, hospitals, ETC.. should
take every precaution to see that coal
is delivered only where it is abso-
lutely required and then only in such
limited quantities that the supply
may be distributed widely and pre-
vent suffering.
1.-THE state and other local authori-
ties can materially aid inspecting
and supervising such distribution by
retail dealers and the United States
supervision and control of such dis
tribution by retails entirely to any
state. county or municipality which
| make provision therefore.
1.-The distribution to the retail deal
ers must necessarily be administered
by the railroad administration in pur-
| suance of the orders already made
by the United States Fuel Adminis-
tration in carrying out the priorities
which have been prescribed under
the lever act"
