NEXT WINTERS COAL
SUPPLY BEING URGED
BY Associated Press

Washington, March 19.-Early buying of
next winters supply of coal was urgei
upon the public by the fuel administra-
ton in statement issued tonight. The
administration asserted that coal was
now more plentiful than it probably would
be for sometime to come, in view of an
ticipated heavy coal expectations and
that the public would have no better op-
portunity to place orders than at pres
ent.
The importance of stimulating produce
ton, which in February was As per cent
less than full time production, also was
emphasized. Current consumption from
stores of coal, it was said, is greatly in
excess of production, which has fallen
off, due to lack of orders.
