SERIOUS SHORTAGE
 OF COAL REPORTED
Strike Means Loss of Over Three Million Tons of
 Production

State Fuel Administrator Seth w. Darley, in a letter to all Connecti- cut coal dealers, today declared that the anthracite coal strike has mean loss of million tons of coal pro- auction and urged dealers to in- form their customer of the serious ness of the solid fuel shortage.
 The anthracite industry is now in it's third week of total shutdown due to the strike of 72000 mine Workers,' MT Darley said. Three weeks of lost time represents production loss of 3 million tons Of coal"
 Even before the strike" he said, it was estimated that only 30 per cent of the normal coal could be supplied to each consumer. The need for some substitute fuels to supplement the supply of anthra- cite coal becomes more and more urgent. I strongly recommend that all solid fuel consumers purchase and accept delivery of supply of beehive or reclaimed coke now while it is available"
 ITO keep warm this winter" he said, it will be necessary that every consumer practice rigid conserva- ton and it will be necessary that they use substitute fuel"

Thomas F. Moran and Sons, Inc, and the City of Waterbury will be named defendants in a $45, 900 civil action by two workmen who fell from a scaffold a year ago while making repairs at Barnard school, according to court papers served on city officials and owners of the firm.
 The plaintiffs, Louis Hanchette and Vito Pollatto, both of New Ha- ven, will file their complaint in the New Haven superior court, return able for June 5. Attorney Martin Gormley of New Haven represents them.
 The two men, employed by D. I. Chapman of New Haven, were working on a scaffold suspended on the north side of the Barnard school gymnasium when the accident oc- cured. Falling bricks caused them to fall from the scaffold to the ground 20 feet below, the com plaint states.
 Work on the premises had been undertaken by the Moran Company in accordance with a contract made with the city for renovating, alter ing, and repairing the building.
 It is alleged the concern was care less in the performance of the work in that 1t permitted the wall to be. come structurally weakened, and no adequate support was provided The plaintiffs claim the concern should have known that unless safe guards were taken workmen would be injured.
 Hanchette points out he was con- fined in hospital from May IT.

Vincent Lopez is recognized for his ability to hold public favor be- cause of his prolific presentations Of dance music from the smooth fox trot to jitterbug gyrations and the heady conga and rhumba.
 The highlight of the Lopez show Is the melodic migrations of his fingers on the piano keys and his exclusive interpretations: Further enhancing the popularity of the Lopez outfit are the sizzling synco- pations of his featured vocalists.
 Lopez's musical aggregation has always been comprised of the coun- try's outstanding musicians as is evidenced by the fact that more of todays popular bandleaders have been graduated from his orchestra than any other unit.
 Included in the list of famous alumni are: S. A. Rolfe. Tony pas- tor, Red Nichols, Xavier Cugat. Artie Shaw, Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Rudy Vallee.
