COMMISSION TO RULE
ON COAL PRIORITIES
Dealers Must Obey Emergency Or

Shortage Period.

The Attorney General. the federal
fuel committee announced, has ruled
that priority orders for coal issued
under classif ification one of the Inter
state Commerce Commission have
preference over other orders which
operators may have on their books.
Classification No. is the provision
giving primary consideration to ship
ments especially designated by the
commi ssion.
while 1t is desired to preserve the
integrity Of contracts as far as pos
sible." the committee said. the. feel
ing is that general contracts must in
measure take secondary position
to the meeting Of particularly urgent
coal necessities created under an
exigency which has arisen since such
contracts were entered into.
present plans of the fuel distri-
button committee are that orders for
class No. l coal shall be SO distribut-
ed as not to disturb seriously prop
er distribution Of cars. All orders for
coal considered to be within that
classification will go to the district
committee, who will apportion the
orders among the mines in their dis
tricts In such apportioning orders It
is expected that contracts will be OBJ
served as far as possible"

about anything. Mark gives HIM

Some women like that type of
ugliness.
Yes, that's true. Between our

does. Rather a pretty girl at jail

down that way"
whats Jallands?"
It's country cottage belonging
to a widow called Borbury. Mark
and Cayley used to go there good

''Yes. Mark never seemed quite

something for him. He was quite

He was fond of him?"
Yes, l should say so. In pro-

all the rest of it-but he liked look

went upstairs to his room. He re-
