(ex The AssoeIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The vol
unteer federal fuel distribution organi-
zation will cease to function next week,
1t was indicated tontght by coal com
mittee officials. Increased bituminous
coal production, it was said, will make
use of the super-priority system of
fuel distribution unnecessary. after
next Monday.
With the discontinuance OF this
method Of emergency coal handling
fuel movement will be left to the reg
ular priority classification of the in
terstate commerce commission pending
enactment of legislation by congress
to meet the fuel supply situation. Fed
eral Distributor Spencer, it is believed,
will retain skelton organization for a
time to provide a nucleus to build up
any distribution agency which may
be created by congress but the advis-
ory committee Of coal operators, Of
which G. e. Bockus Of New York is
chairman and the district committees
which have represented the federal
coal committee in West Yirginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Virginia will be disbanded in the
course Of the week. ..-
The effect of a sharply increased coal
production from fields recently reopen
ed, according to committee officials, is
manifested in the decrea asing number
of applications for emergency coal re-
ceived by Mr.. Spencer.

Likewise, he said, the railroads would
be given a reasonable" time in wllich
to demonstrate their ability to furnish
adequate service and that those unable
to do SO would be taken over.

Senator Cummins- expressed confidence
that legislation for both purposes could
be rushed through without delay. 1t was
indicated that constellation Of tlTese
steps would not operate to interfere with

nation without result Of the conference
at New York between railroad execu-
tives and union officials. It was stated
that the conference would be resumed

the view of officials, constitutes an inn
portant element in this connection, how
ever. and may prove determining fac
tor as to the necessity for federal opera
tion of carriers.
