TO RATION COAL
IN MASSACHUSETTS

hard coal for domestic use was ordered
today as q means of relieving the
scarcity which exists in all parts of
the state Eugene C, Huffman, chair
man of the state commission on the
necessaries of life, after conference
with q committee of five coal dealers
appointed by Governor Coolidge, an
nouneed that until further notice
householders would be allowed only
three tons of coal !" Dealers, = he
added, ffwould be ordered to deliver
no coal to anyone known to have on
hand one month s supply
This action was taken after consul
tation with the governor, to whom re-
ports had come from many places that
dealers stocks were low and house
holders bins empty. The committee
Of dealers was directed to consider the
question of securing supply sufficient
TO protect the people of the state
against the winter months.
The shortage, Governor Coolidge
said today, is due largely to the Eva
cation taken by the miners and to
the fact that with reports of a short
age in the air for several months peo-
pie with ample means had laid in large
supplies.
