CHICAGO, June 21.-A Serious
situation in civilian home goods sup

months, unless the Government
applies remedies at once to avert
impending shortages that result
from cutting civilian supply below
minimum comfort Standards" Ros-
cOe r. Rau, executive vice president
of the National Retail Furniture
Association, said today.
In a statement at the opening of
a Today summer home furnishings
market at the American furniture
mart and the merchandise mart, Rau
stated that available home goods
supplies have never before been so
limited in the face of such great
demand"
This is the eleventh hour" Mr..
Rau said. The fat Of retail in
ventories has been reduced to a thin
cushion that cannot much longer
absorb the shock. Any realistic pre-
dlctlon as to the future of home
goods stores must recognize that a
serious situation will be reached in
four or five months unless the Office

dies at once.

6 900 Miners Are Idle

By he Associated Press.

By he Associated Press.
A proposal by UNIV President
John l.. Lewis that administration
of the Bituminous Coal Act be trans
ferred from Interior Secretary Ickes
to a board was opposed today by
a spokesman for the Solid Fuels
Administration.
Testifying before the House Ways
e. Means Committee in support of
lee ~ ton to continue the act two
years beyond its August % eXpira-
tion date, H. A. Gray, deputy solid
fuels administrator, spoke of the
danger he said is inherent in any
production stoppage.
An interruption in coal pro-
duction for even few weeks during
the war" he said, would imperil
the operation of countless railroads,
public utilities and plants producing
war goods
I'VE cannot afford to run this
risk by throwing the Coal Act over
board or by changing the organiza-
tion which has been carefully built
up to supervise its operations"
The act sets up machinery for
fixing minimum soft coal prices on
a regional basis to stabilize the in
dustry. Mr. Lewis has suggested
that the administration be placed
in the hands of a board, on which
coal miners would be represented
Since october /, 1910, when they
(minimum prices first went into
effect, Mr. Gray testified, the coal
industry has achieved a stability
and vitality which it never had
before. There has been no wide
spread price cutting or outbreak of
other unfair methods of compe-
tition
Generally, with a few exceptions
in certain areas, prosperity has come
to the bituminous coal industry dur
ing the period minimum prices have
been in operation.
Never is it tthe act likely to be
so necessary to keep the coal indus
try stabilized as it is during the
war and during the years after the
war ends
The miners and the operators
will better be able to live and work
under a Just settlement of the wage
rates which will control operations
for the next two years if they know
that the floor will not drop out of
the national bituminous coal price
structure"
