SHORTAGE Of COAL
PERIL To NATION
Hines Orders Complete Re-Estab-
Iishment of Preferential Lists.
WAR REGULATIONS RECALLED
Railroads Are Given the Preference
Rules Adopted by United States
Fuel Adninist. alton Are Put
Into Effect

Washington, March ca coal short
age estimated in the neighborhood of
100000 tons resulted in the COM
plete establishment of preferential
lists by Director General Of Railways
Walker D. Hines. Acting under the
powers conferred upon him by the
president under executive orders is
sued February % and March Direc-
tor Hines ordered that all producers
and shippers give preference in the
shipment of bituminOus coal as fol-
lows:
l. Railroads.
2. Army and navy, together with
other departments of the federal gov
eminent.
3. State and county departments
and institutions.
4. Public utilities.
5. Retail dealers.
After this preferential list, manufac-
turers engaged in turning out neces-
saries are to be allowed coal.
Because of the severe weather con
ditions diversion of coal to New Eng
land by water will be continued, it be-
ing found impossible to transport suf-
ficient amounts to that section by rail.
Old Preferential Lists
The preferential lists recalled into
being by Director Hines order are the
old lists used for diversion of coal
during the war by the United States
fuel administration.
Director Hines also appointed com
mittees, designated with powers of his
personal representatives to place the
diversion of coal according to the pref
erential lists Immediately into effect.
The directors of these committees will
be:
G. N. Snyder, chairman eastern re-
gional coal committee, with headquar.
ters at New York.
w. T. LaMoure, chairman, and
James T. StOrrow, vice chairman, New
England committee; FL. A. Worcester
chairman, Ohio and Indiana commit
tee; P. G. Findley, chairman, Detroit
committee; e. r. Bissell, chairman
Cleveland committee; Samuel Porcher
chairman Allegheny coal committee
with headquarters at Philadelphia; S.
f. Spengler, chairman, Pocahontas
coal committee, with headquarters at
Roanoke, Va. ~
The sweeping action of the director
general was necessitated, it was ex.
planned, by a number of urgent rep.
reservations received from public utili-
ties, schools, industries and domestic
consumers that they are unable to pur-
chase coal to meet immediate and
pressing needs and that they will have
to cease operations unless they can Sc.
cure adequate supplies promptly.
So alarming has the situation be-
come that Director Hines was com
PEELED to call upon President Wilson
for additional powers in dealing with
the serious shortage. These powers
were promptly granted by the presi-
dent in an executive order simplifying
his order Of February %, which con-
tinued with Director Hines the powers
of coal distribution, even after the rail-
roads had passed from government
control.

ALLIES SCORED BY
PRESIDENT WILSON
Declares the United States D0u-
bile Crossed by Them.
DOES NOT MINCE HIS WORDS
Stands by Agreement of December g.
Says Premiers Make Secret Pacts
After Calling on U. S. for Su-
preme Sacrifice.
DOES NOT MINCE HIS WORDS

Washington, March 8.-President
Wilson's reply to- the allies in the FL
ume controversy, as already forecast,
is an announcement of his determina-
ton to stand by the agreement of De-
cember 9, which was entered into by
the United States, Great Britain and
France.
The state department made public
the text of the note and it is believed
another reply will be forthcoming from
the British and French premiers, chief
ly because the president explains he
will not sanction any partitioning OF
Albania, even though such step might
bring an agreement between Italy and
Jugo-Slavia.
Expresses Resentment.
The president expresses resentment
over the intention Of the British and
French to withdraw the agreement OF
December 9 and proceed on a new
basis. He holds that this agreement
Is "the basis of reference representing
the combined opinion Of these govern
ments."
The president takes the view that
If the December 9 memorandum were
put aside the allies would have an ex-
cuse for reviving the pact of London,
which was drawn up in secrecy during
the war, and he is unalterably opposed
to this.
AssaiIs Allies Secrecy.
No words are minced by the presi-
dent in expressing his antagonism to-
ward the pact of London. He says
bluntly he is unable to find in the lex
igencies of military strategy suffi-
cient warrant for exercising such Sc
crecy with the United States, a gov
eminent which was intimately associ-
ated in the task of defending human
freedom and which was being called
upon for unlimited assistance and un-
told treasure.
The president recalls to the pre-
miers, in response to their plant that
they were Inconvenience by the alb
sence Of an American representative
with plenary powers in the latter day
conferences, that many times decisions
by the supreme council were delayed
because British and French represen-
tatives had not obtained the views of
their governments.
In short, it is apparent the presi-
dent will continue to oppose any So
luton of the Adriatic problem that
is not based on the agreement of De-
cember 9 and that he will stand out
to the end against a solution predi-
Gated upon the terms OF the treaty in
London.

Diversions at Minimum.


In instructions sent out the coal COM
mittees named Director Hines points
out that they are to exercise diversions
of coal only in cases of emergency.
They were instructed that diversions
be kept at an absolute minimum and
cease entirely as soon as possible.
Cali applicants for coal should ex-
haust all possible means for securing
coal through the normal channels,
since the power to divert will only Le
exercised in emergencies" Mr.. Hines
stated.
In explaining the necessity for plac-
ing in effect these orders, Director
Hines issued the following statement:
81 am advised that in the eastern
section of the country, and in New
England particularly, the severe
weather conditions continue to inter-
fere in large extent with railroad OPP
erations, which is materially affecting
the movement of coal from the Iroduc-
ing sections to the consumers. The coal
strike In November and December re-
suited in shortage of approximately
100000 tons of bituminous coal. AL
though, during the week ending Febru
airy %, 1920, 1O,25OOUO tons of bitumin-
Gus coal was produced and transported,
and although the production and move
ment of bituminous coal so far in 1920
have considerably exceeded the pro-
duction and movement in the same
period in the three preceding years, it
is a fact that the demand is still con-
siderably in excess of the supply"
