ufacturers were issued late today at
headquarters here. The action on its
face means the closing doVn of cot
ton mills and manufacturing plants
of almost all descriptions as soon as
their present supplies are used up.
These supplies generally are under
stood to be scanty.
'Curtailment of coal consumption was
made necessary Uie statement said,
“because coal production still is be
low the absolute requirements^ of the
first five classes of consumers." These
classes who arc still to get coal are
railroads, inland and coastwise ves
sels, army and navy and certain gov
ernment departments, state, municipal
and county institutions, public utili-
tailers to supply domestic consumers.
No announcement was made here as
to whether the sharp curtailment of
coal consumption would t>e nation-

ferred classes had been depleting with
dangerous rapidity the stocks held
subject to the fuel administrator’s or
der. Thus the situation was becom
ing critical and it was determined to
wihhold deliverjes temporarily from
manufacturers, even though they be
in the class recognized as essential.
“The first five classes, whose imme
diate needs will continue to be sup
plied are:'" - ,
“Class A—Railroads and inland and
TftSSlWlse vessels.
“Clkss B—Army and navy, together
with other departments of the fed
eral government. This includes bitu
minous coal consumed by manufactur
ers or producers of supplies for de
partments of the federal government,
when such department officially ap
proves the request.
'‘Class C—State, municipal and coun
ty departments and* Institutions.
“iClass D—Public utilities. This in
cludes the manufacture of newsprint
paper for daily-newspaper use and the
printing and publishing of same.
“Class E—Retailers (supplies for
domestic ^consumers.)

coal from retailers this committee is

first five classes in the priority list,
since coal is essential for heating the
buildings, for dyeing and other proc

Reports from Spartanburg and
Greenville, Sr C., centers of the tex
tile industry in that state, declare
that fullf 90 per dent of their mills
are dependent on coal, and it is'said
that the larger number qf mqis
in Greenville would be forced to close
down if coal is cut off for five or
Six weeks.
St. Louis, Nov. 17.—The southwest

portions the distribution of coal in the
southwestern railroad region today an
nounced that there is available only
about three weeks’ supply of coal in
the United States and immediately be
gan making plans for fuel conserva
tion in its district which the commit
tee believes will be absolutely neces

miners do not return to the mines
within a few days.

about the same conditions prevail in
other sections of the country. Re
ports generally have shown many min
ers not returning to work despite can
cellation of the strike call on order
of the federal court at;Indianapolis.
The statement announcing the coal
consumption curtailment follows:
“Under orders issued today at the
direction of the United States fuel ad
ministration, deliveries of coal by the
railroads for the present will be lim
ited to the first five Masses of the
fuel administration’s preference list.
This action has become imperatively
necessary ttecause of the failure of
miners in the country’s great produc
ing fields to return to work, although
in obedience to the federal court man
date. the union officials canceled the
strike order which became effective
on Nov. 1.

absoTute requirements of the first five
classes of consumers, and the policy
“With the hope that in the near fu
ture the situation will improve suf
ficiently to warrant resumption of de
liveries to Classes F and G, the local
railroad representatives will continue
to receive and forward applications
from consumers in these classes. Hav
ing these applications for immediate
requirements on file, the committee
will be in a position tA act promptly
and quick deliveries will be assured
when the restrictions now imposed are
lifted.’’
Such plants as manufactured food,
ice end cottonseed mills are-not af
fected as they have been placed in
the same class as public utilities.
Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 17.—While the
great majority of the cotton mills in
the South Atlantic section are run by
electricity generated by water power,
they ’will be inconvenienced to some
extqpt, according to fanufacturers, by
the order of the regional director of
Washington. Goes to Annapolis.
Washington, Nov. 14.—The Prince pf
Wales left Washington tonight, accom
panied only by his immediate personal
staff, for a three day stay in a South
ern wintdr resort, where he proposes
to remain In strict incognito... His
next public appearance will be Tues
day, when he arrives in New York to
remain there until he sails for Eng
land the following Saturday.
The prince called today on Mrs:
Carshall, wife of Vice President Mar
shall, who has been slightly indis
posed. On his returrj from a trip to
the naval academy at Annapolic he
paid a visit to Cardinal Gibbons, the
venerable head of the Roman Catholic
church in America. He was received
by the cardinal in the rectory of St.
Patrick’s church and chatted with him
for ten minutes. Afterwards he drove
to the Belmont home, where he dined
privately.
At the door of the rectory the prince
was greeted by James Burns, a veteran
of the. Boer war and a former trooper
in the Tenth Rbyal Hussars, “the
prince’s own!” Burns told the prince
that he had formed one of the guard
of honor at the wedding of his fathdr
leaders will Jse absent after tomorrow
—which is pay day. ,
After a “red” circular urging the
workers to rise and take possession
of the plant for themselves had been
found there, the plant superintendents
at the noon hour today called the
workmen together and laid the situa
tion before them. The workmen com
mittees and others pledged themselves
to rid the plaat of “reds,” without out
side aid, and in the next few. hours the
vigalantes had rounded up all the
“red” propaganda literature which had
been circulated among their fellows.
The circular, headed “Your Shop”
bore this inscription:
“This is propaganda leaflet No. 3,
issued by the communist party of
America, 1219 Blue avenue, Chicago.”
Quantities of the inflamatory^ docu-.
and destroyed and heads of the work
men’s committees informed the man
agement that they would undertake to
have their ranks cleared of reds when
the whistles blow for tomorrow’s clos
ing.
and mother.
The prince discarded his military
uniform in honor of his visit to Annap
olis, and wore the costume of a captain
in the royal navy. At the naval acad
emy he was introduced to the famous
cheer of the academy. When he enter
ed the great mmorial hall, where the
2,000 midshipmen were assembled;
“Mike” Curley, the school’s cheer
leader, jumped to th eplatform and
called for “Four navies and ‘ three
princes.” The big building shook »t
the roar that followed.
After a brief address to the midship
men in which he paid tribute to the
achievements of the American navy in
the war* the prince planted a memo?fcrt v ;
tree in front of Bancroft hall.

"His Majesty The American”
Positively the greatest production that Fairbanks has
made. Broke all records at the Criterion Theater
in Atlanta. The picture itself is the most ambitious
production that Fairbanks has ever undertaken; and
we feel that its useless to go further in details as the
above star is too well known to make and put out a
bum production. \ nerefore the Casino will open
the show strictly at 2 p. m., account of long runs for
each show.
Show time—2 p. m., 4 p. m., 6 p. m., and-8 p. m.
Remember time of each show, account of
long runs will be hard to make another
show after the 8 p. na. one.
