RETURNS INDICATE
SWEDEN MAY GO WET
pr,mIer Declares That Government
Has Final Say Regardless Of
Result OF Voting.

Stockholm, August rs. tBy the AS
ISOLATED Press5--Incomplete returns
in the referendum on the question OF
prohibition indicate a strong tendency
against prohibition. In the ballot thus
far reported 1SS,000 voted against and
10000 for such measure.
Yesterday was a day of great excite
ment throughout Sweden. In all the
big cities the squares were crowded by
thousands OF people awaiting the re-
suits. Street car traffic in Stockholm
was suspended owing to the congeo-
tion in the streets.
In an interview printed by the Po-
litiken yesterday Hjalmar Branting,
the Swedish premier, is quoted as hav'
ing said
Whatever the result of the plebiscite
on the question of prohibition, the gov
eminent reserves its right to have the
final say. Sheer prohibition might
mean endless trouble. Look at Nor
way Though 1t is a prohibition coun.
try it has to agree to import wine
Sweden even more than Norway j.
dependent on its trade with winepro-
ducing countries.

NO HARD COAL FOR
VERMONT NEXT WINTER
Domestic Users Must Do One Of Three
Things, Burn Soft Coal Burn Wood
Or Suffer From Cold.

Montpelier, Aug 2S.-H. ]. NJ.
Jones, state fuel administrator. makes
It very clear that in his opinion, do.
mestic users of coal next winter will
do one of three things, burn wood,
burn soft coal or suffer from cold
weather. Mr.. Jones is very much ex
ercised over the lethargy, which ap-
pears tJ eAist IN Vermont on the mat
ter
He said, 1T is not my desire to
frighten the citizens of Vermont,
nor to create a panic, but fear and
panic may be the only weapons that
viii save the domestic consumers Of
anthracite coal from suffering this
winter. have had sufficient infor.
nation to know that some people
who have been using this class of
coal for heating purposes must use
some substitute for part Of the
winter. The strike in the anthracite
mines is still on and If a settlement
were made today and all miners re-
turn to work, Vermont would not re.
ceiye over so per cent of its needs.
Public meetings should be called
In every city and town in the state to
arrange for supply Of some substi-
tute for anthracite coal. Cutting
wood clubs should be formed, espec-
lally in the rural districts, and get to
work with real earnestness to create
supply Of such proportions that IT
will save suffering this winter The
state fuel committee will not receive
a pound OF anthracite coal until the
strike is settled and the mines re.
sumo work. After the strike is set
Tied ii will be weeks before a flow OF
this coal will ocme to Vermont and
that amount will depend entirely on
the United States fuel distributor
We cannot procure coal; we can only
distribute it.
Again, ! say, do not want to
Brighten the public, but it is my duty
las fuel distributor OF the state OF
Vermont to warn you when | see
danger ahead Please consider that
in normal times it requires t.
months mining to supply the country
with the necessary amount of an.
ithracite coal and that the mines
have been closed for FIVE months.
We may be able to secure soft coal
as a substitute, but il everyone
clamors for it, the supply will not be
sufficient Vermont has nearly three
months before cold weather and our
only salvation is wood My advice
Is that the coal users hold meetings
at once and arrange for the cutting
of wood on large scale to save Yer.
mont from suffering the coming win
ter. | might say further that 1t
would be only natural for this Office
next February to remind you of this
Aug. 26 interview.

FORD SHOPS TO SHUT
DOWN SEPTEMBER l6
Coat Shortage Nccess tatcs Action;
Roughly 100000 Men viii
Be Idle.

Detroit. Aug. 2S.--At a meeting Of
the officials Of the Ford Motor com
psny it was decided to shut down all
the Ford plants on September l6 be-
cause Of the coal shortage Telegrams
were sent Saturday to Ford agencies
in all parts OF the country notifying
them OF the decision.
The shutdown means that all three
plants Of the Ford company will be
Idle. putting about 10000 men out of
work With the assembling plants
spread out over the country which will
also bic closed this will affect total
OF 105 900 men, strictly Ford employ
es and not takalng into consideration
the thousands OF others dependent on
Ford orders representing roughly
around 100000 men.
Henry Ford said;
The coal situation has become inn
possible. For the last several weeks
we have seen a situation approaching
which we feared would force us to
close We greatly regret having to
take that step. Edsel and returned
early from our Eastern trip and Fri
day night with every possible data
and information bearing on the sub
jeCt before US we stroye until almost
daylight trying to find some way out
without closing down.
Every way we turned we were con
fronted by the situation that under the
present handling of coal there would
never be time when we would have
enough coal to operate the several de-
psrtments of the plant simultaneous
ly.
1--WE therefore decided that Of neces.
eity we must close down sooner or la
ter. We wish to keep enough coal on
hand to keep our furnaces and coke
ovens warm; to let them get cold
would cause loss Of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars. At the rate we
are getting coal now, September 16
will mark the time when we will have
only enough coal left to keep our fur
naces and ovens warm.
"Our reserve stock by that time will
have been completely exhausted We
therefore will close down the entire
plant on September 49,
Friday night we wired 900 houses
that supply us with material to stop
shipment and yesterday morning let
ters and kilograms were sent out to
about 1000 more.
I'VE appreciate the great loss 1t will
mean to these hundreds of supply
houses, but 1t will also mean tre-
mendous loss to u.s. At present we
are producing $500 cars day, and we
can sell $500 a day. We have to close
down at time when we are doing a
greater business than ever before in
our history"
Mr. Ford was asked when he hoped
the plants could resume operations
He shook his head and said:
81 haven't the slightest idea"
