STATES INDUSTRIES NEED MORE
 SOFT COAL 10 AVOID SHUT-DOWNS

creas4d loading charges, at the docks. in the case of coal shipped by water.
 Recommendations to Retail Dealers.
 The state fuel distribution comnnis s;o, aSs,rpd a letter to all retail coal dealers of the state Saturday, in wni n thera were several important recomInen- dations bearing uron the distribution ot fnr+hconninr shipments of anthracite coal flo relieve the present shortage.
 Dealers were advised to make no de- liveries in excess of two tons, with one ton the more preferable amount to make no deliveries prior toY November to anyone but domestic consumers arli others requiring 1t for cooking purposes, and to unload promptly every car car rying anthracite coal within twenty -four hours of it's arrival at it's destination.
 These three recommendations consti- tute the initial attempt of the commis- sion to enlist the aid of the deaieTs in getting coal distributed promptly and as evenly as possible The purpose of the second ruling concerned with priority distribution is to cut off from domestic uses any buildings which can use soft coal. Regarding the third recon1m endd- tion, whenever failure to unload shlp- ments within the stated time Is reported, the commission will request the anthra-
  I ments to the offending dealer. Regarding price regulation, the letter states the commission expects the deal- CTS to do their best to maintain far retail price, and asss for immediate no- tifcation of any attempt on the part of producer and jobber to charge an unrea- sonabIe one.
 The curtailment Of retail orders for coal in lots of one or two tons Is in line ] with what has already been done in New York state by the fuel authorities. l It has been settled that the distrib.., i tion of anthracite coal from producer tc retail dealer shall be made in the same channels of trade as in former year. and the anthracite distribution commit tee has undertaken to see that .eacl dealer gets his fair share from his reg ular shippers.
 1 problem fairly simple. How can we bss spread deliveries over the largest ques that you observe the following rules: l. No deliveries prior to Novembe
 tons; one ton would probably be btuter g. No deliveries prior to Novern be
 1st to anybody but domestic consumer
 and others requiring it for cooking pur
 pcc7as. The purpose of this rule is to cn
 off from domestic sizes all building
 that can use soft coal.
 8. Every car must be unloaded with
 in twenty-four hours. Whenever failur
 to unload promptly is reported to us W
 shall request that shipments to tha dealer be suspended.
 We request and expect from o; knowledge of the dealers of this stat that you will do your best to take car : of the situation and will not charg more. than fair retail price 7 We would ask you to notify us irnmt . diately of any attempt on the part C producer or jobber to charge you a
 unreasonable price and We promise tn evidence will be sent promptly to tr : proper authorities.
 t Will you be good enough to acknow D edge receipt of this letterf f Yours very truly,
 Connecticut Fuel Comulission, THOMAS ". RUSSELL. -I Administrator.
