Driver Shortage
Threatens Fall
Fuel Deliveries
Dealers Attempt to
Hold Men by Work
In Summer Loyoffs
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

DlStrlDutOrS OF tuel Oil and coal
expect to be so per cent short of
labor to deliver fuel when fall
comes because of the summer lay
off of drivers who they fear cannot
be replaced, it was learned today.
Although both fuel oil and coal
dealers are trying to hold their more
experienced help over the summer
by finding jobs for them to do, they
expect the delivery situation to be
critical by october /.
The distributors admitted that
some people may have cold homes
despite their coupons and sufficient
fuel in the city because delivery
trucks cannot be manned.
Lester Scott, director of the oil
heating division of the Merchants
aand Manufacturers Association,
said the oil distributors had had diff
fculty in getting help and keeping
it last winter and they are now
worrying ABOUT the coming season
when they will have to find approxi-
mately $50 new men with the train
ing and experience required for the
job in tight labor market.
Draft to Affect Situation.
Many of the men who are being
kept on during the summer, he said,
will be lost by fall to the draft
which, with a high labor turnover,
has complicated the employment
picture in the fuel distribution in
dustry.
Employers are supposed to release
workers who are employed at less
than full time, which is the case in
fuel oil distribution during the sum-
mer. and many distributors can't
carry the extra overhead of keeping
fully stated in the slack period.
A. T. Brown, chairman of the
coal division of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association. said
coal dealers were accustomed to lay
off some of their drivers during the
summer but this year they are try
ing to find work for them around
the coal yards and on the trucks so
they will be available when the
heavy demand for coal comes
If the fall demand is as heavy as
usual and the need for drivers is
not met, Mr.. Brown said, deliveries
will have to be curtailed and the
customers will suffer-
Shortage Cuts Summer Deliveries.
Coal companies are accustomed to
filling many of their orders during
the spring and summer, but at the
present time orders cannot be met
because of the coal shortage, he
explained.
Coal dealers expect the coal short
age to be relieved. he said, and are
now taking orders for delivery at
their convenience.
Mr. Brown pointed out that peo-
pie who used coal heat could beat
the threatened labor shortage by
ordering their coal now, even If de-
livery was not made for some time,
while people whose homes we're
heated by oil could not store enough,
even if they could get the coupons,
to last them through the winter.
Since fuel distribution is now
listed as locally needed activity"
coal dealers, Mr.. Brown said, are
counting on the area War Man.
power Office to be of some help to
them in recruiting and holding their
labor.
Mr. Scott said he believed the
VINO employment stablization plan
would give the fuel oil distributors
some added protection since "it
won't be SO easy after this to quit
Jobs"

ROMANTIC STORY
 OF GIRL BANDIT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Belle Starr, the bandit queen of the Ozarks, never fired a shot when smile or flash of shapely ankle would do the trick.
 She went to masseuses to keep her figure curvaceous and to the best dressmakers in Chicago and New York to enhance her allure.
 That is the gist of some little known facts which research experts for goth Century-Fox brought back with them from Missouri and Ar kansas to aid in the production of that company's Belle Starr" the technicolor picture now at the 20th Century Theatre with Randolph Scott and Gene Tierney in the leading roles.
 While most folks have thought for years that Belle was merely rough, two-gun frontier woman, it didn't take Hollywood long to discover that she possessed sex appeal, spell ed in capital letters.
 Gene Tierney, relative new conner to Hollywood, was selected for the role of Belle Starr after AT actresses, including some of Holly woods most famous names, had been tested.
