HOMES COME FIRST
IN HARD COAL PLAN
Hoover Admits, However, Some
HousehoIders viii Have to
Use Bituminous.

Washlngton.-Householders will be
given consideration by the government
In the distribution o. available supplies
OF anthracite coal this winter. Secre.
tary of Commerce Hoover declared.
To assure equitable anthracite dis
tribution for loms use Secretary
Hoover said that man. industries and
some nouseholders probably will have
to substitute bltumlnous coal for an.
thracIte.
Government reports indicated that
there probably will not be enough an
'hraclte coal to 60 around during -.
winter months. The long drawn out
strike in the anthracite fields has
caused reserve stocks of this class OF
fuel TO dwindle almost TO the vanishing
point. Ii is now figured by experts
that even when the anthracite regions
resume production the output cannot
keep pace with the demand.
Reliable figures reported In the Geo
logical Survey show that practically
all OF the stocks OF anthracite above
ground have been exhausted. Normal
ly at this time OF the year large sup
ply OF anthracite would have been laid
by In reserve stock piles. officials
were optimistic that operations In the
anthracite regions soon will be again
under way. Resumption Of production
In these mines, situated largely in
Pennsylvania, will involve expansion
Of the work OF the Federal Fuel Dis
tributors to care for the extraordinary
demands expected from small domestic
consumers.
Secretary Hoover said he is not pre-
pared to say how the shortage OF coal
Will affect the country, though he ven
tured the opinion that II the mines
speed up to normal production within
a few days the vital needs Of the
public and Industry can be supplied

cry set up under the Federal Fuel Dis

Washington. on.-Presldent Harding put
the issues in the railroad and coal
strikes before congress In message,
asserting his determination 10 use all
the power o the government to keep
transportation moving and the coal
mines operating.
The Presidents address had mixed
effect on congress. Republicans as a
whole highly pralslng the sentiments
voiced by the President snd his pro.
gram for future industrial crises.
Senators Lodge and Watson declared
they approved every word Mr.. Harding
had uttered. on the Democratic side,
however. there were expressions to the
effect that the Presidents Ords were
meaningless and the speech full Of
platitudes.
DIscarding for the moment his ef-
forts to compromise the differences
between coal miners and operators
on the one hand, and the railway
executives and shopmeh on the other.
the President took the firm position
that the laws must be upheld.
He said conspiracies against trans
portatlon and an adequate fuel supply
must be punished. and that, irrespective
OF the differences between employers
and employees. the constitutional
rights OF men TO work must be sus-
tanned and guaranteed by the govern
ment.
The President declared the laws now
on the statute books are adequate 10

coal industries lie expressly stated
that no additional legislation is desired
by him al this time 10 enable him 10

LOCAL AUTOISTS

Augustine G. Dutil and Joseph
Delaware. both of this city, had a
narrow escape from serious injuries
Wednesday night when the car which
Mr.. Dutil was driving ran into an
excavation. in the town of Sidney
and on the west river road. Mr..
Dutil was saved from bad injuries
by the steering gear which broke his
fall. Mr. Delaware sustained rather
severe cut in the forehead, :. some
bruises and Jared the worse. of the
Two. He was taken to Waterville,
where surgical attention was given
him. 1t required three stitches to
close the wound in his forehead.
Mr.. Dutils version of the story in
part is that his automobile light did
not catch the warning or the lantern
on the side Of the road. driving to-
ward Watcrville. He says he did
not see any sign that night and upon
investigating the next morning, de-
clares he did not see sign then. He
estimates that the lantern was about
three -fourths of mile on the Au-
c,,sta side of the excavation and he
followed the previous wheel marks In
the road, thinking he was pursuing
the proper course.
The hole was made where. culvert
Is being installed. He estimates that.
according to signs on the road bed,
his car dragged several feet before
it pitched into the*hole, downward
