Coal Deficit Already in Prospect

tantamount to Iationing.
In preparation for a serious de-
felt during the l944-i5 heating sea
son, the Solid Fuels Administra-
ton has told consumers when TO
order coal, how much they can
have, what type and where TO OBJ
tain it.
The orders which have flowed in
steady stream from Office of
Fuels Director Harold l.. Ickes are
not far removed from direct con-
sumer rationing-a bugaboo which
Ickes hopes to avoid IL the public
will play ball.
A deficit OF at least twenty-five
million tons of coal already is in
prospect this year and it may go
as high as forty-five million tons.

they can obtain only so per cent
