The Fuel Emergency
Calls for Facts Now

To Every User Of Coal in Maine;-
Do You realize how serious is the
coal situation in Your state. not only
with reference to the matter Of the
shortage Of the general supply of
both hard and soft coal, but the diff
fculty there we'll may be in obtain
ing even modest supply TO meet our
extreme necessities from now until
spring
Governor Baxter has undertaken TO
st up. in accordance with Federal
suggestion. an organization in the
state, through which coal must be
obtained, if it is obtained at all. He
needs and is entitled to. the full
hearty and unsclfish cooperation Of
every citizen Of the state. and if you
who are users of coal obtain any sup
ply at all, you must so cooperate.
The Governor is asking each deal
or in hard coal to give him a state
ment with reference TO the supply on
hand in his yard. and the require
ments Of his customers during the
winter Unless this information is
promptly received. the Governor and
his committee viii hc unable to give
the Federal Fuel Distributor the ncc-
essary information upon which to
base the ALLEGATION to Maine of its
hard coal supply (assumng that the
strike is settled. and there is any
supplyD 1t is possible that no soft
coal viii be received and distributed
except through tho Federal Distrih-
utor, acting in conjunction with our
state Of Maine Distribution Commit =
tee. As tho Federal regulation is
somewhat universally understood. the
Federal Distributor has absolute con-
troll Of the distribution Of coal TO the
several states. First comes railroad
coal, and this viii be allocated and
distributed direct from Washington.
Next comes the coal for public utili-
t.es, hospitals. public institutions, ho-
telr, restaurants, ana similar users,
and nest comes the industrial users,
who arc in the last class. AS the
Federal regulation is understood,
there must be Central state
committee 70 which all hard and
soft Cobl will be consigned: and that
committee VIII soc to the distribution
within tho S'ato. This committee
must either make financial arrange
mcnts for tho purchase Of the coal. or
procure it through n guarantee Of the
purchase price. Unless the governor
and his committee know Immediately
W hat Your stock of coal is at tho
present moment. and what your re-
nuiramcntS for the future are, he Will
not be able to give to the Federal
distributor the information necessary.
The state which most promptly puts
its central committee in position to
give accurate information Of their
situation viii in all probability be the
one TO which the necessary supply Of
coal viii first begin 70 flow.
To those of YOU who feel that YOU
have a contract with some dealer or
with some operator, and that that
contract viii be carried out, let me
say that there is considerable doubt
with reference to this Many believe
that coal 50 purchased, even if
actually on its way TO You, may he
taken by our Central Fuel committee,
and distributed either TO 4 public
utility which needs it, on two others
in a class above the industrial user.

A Near Accident

What might have been a bad acci-
dent had the car been going at an
average speed, took place about s
o'clock on Northport avenue, Thurs
DAY night. when the Buick car owned
by Mrs c. Chapman Pineo and driven
by her brother-in-la Harold Hol-
lingshead, backed into a hole caused
by digging for waterpipe and
which was not marked by anything
to warn the driver. 1t was while
backing that the rear right hand
wheel sang into the mire nearly out
OF sight and it was necessary to have
the car hauled out. Had a car been
going full speed ahead and turned
cut into the side Of the road and
struck the hole, it would undoubted-
edly have caused a serious If not
fatal accident. The hole, which was
covered BY pile Of dry dirt, was two
or three feet deep and a perfect quag-
miro.

ATLANTA. Ca. Feb. 27.-Denial
that the name OF the Ku Klux Klan
has been changed to that Of The
Krusaders or any other name was
made here today by William Joseph
simmons. Imperial Wizard OF the
order.
The denial came from the Inn
perial Wizard after he had been
shown dispatches from Toledo stat
ing that the name Of the national
order had been changed.
These reports have been circu-
lated by enemies OF the Ku Klux
Klan with the intention Of discred-
iting and injuring the organization, "
he said. THE Ku KluX klan Is
now established In every state in the
union and various un-American
groups opposed to its principles OF
patriotism and morality have used
every means with no regard for
truth. to injure and retard Its
growth. The Knights Of the Ku Klux
Klan is an institution which Is here
today and which will stay forever
and no group OF individuals or enc
mics OF the real American people
can destroy It by lying and slander." "
