trys depleted coal supply and trans
portation facilities.
Based on previous declaration by
the commission that an emergency ii
transportation existed which opened
the way for operation of the coal dis.
tribution plan adopted yesterday by
representatives of the producing fields
the priority order issued yesterday es-
tablished a preferential system for
shipment OF fuel and food over all
railroads east Of the Mississippi. An
other mandate going into effect at the
same time to day directs all the roads
of the country to disregard established
routings in favor of such routing As
would expedite movement and avoid
congestion
The president was expected by ad-
administration officials to formally es-
tablish to-day the directing agency for
the scheme by the appointment of a
presidential committee of representa-
tives from the interstate commerce
commission and the departments OF
commerce, justice and interior, with
Secretary Hoover as chairman.
With the aid of an administrative
committee of presidents and railroad
traffic experts, the governmental body
will direct the activities of the local
committees of operators in maintain
ing fair prices and in distributing fuel
to the roads and other public utili-
ties in the order Of preference estab-
lished by the interstate commerce
commission as best serving the needs
of the general public.
Secretary Hoover explained that the
priority orders would make no change
in the railway traffic of large sections
of the country east of the Mississippi.
where a great majority of the mileage
can handle its freight effectively. The
priorities, he added, will affect mainly
the railroads which cannot now handle
their traffic adequately.

habilitated, | don't know There are,
he asserted, thousands of cars load

is to get the men to move the traf-

The ordinary coal buyers, Mr. Hoov-
er asserted, were under no great pres
sure for the present and should not
feel any pressure for at least thirty
days. Coal imports, he declared, should
help the situation and a step in this
direction was taken yesterday by rep
