Mr.. Gompers previously has said

Situation Serious

Although the immediate needs of the situation are vague. t was the concensus of the commission that conditions are serious and that all energies must be directed towards simplifying what appears to be a sit uation which will continue throughout the fall and winter
 "The supply is going to be limited, ' said Mr. Russell of the coal eommis- sion. and the only thing the state commission can do is to see that coal is distributed at fair price to all. "
 He pointed out that the eommis- sion's first duty would be to endeavor Co ascertain how much coal there is on hand within the state, and to learn what the needs of consumers wouli probably be for the next few months. So it is that a census Of the whole state is now being made.
