Washington, Dec. 1.—Wartime re strictions on the nation’s use of coal more stringent even than those ap plied during the war, were ordered into effect today to stave off fuel famine. Moved by reports of diminishing coal stocks and growing danger of distress in numerous sections, the gov ernment sought to compromise with striking mine workers whose walkout forced the emergency, but asked for national determination to endure pri vation and discomfort until coal mining was resumed on its terms. Fuel Administrator Garfield, acting in conjunction with the Railroad Ad ministration, gave notice that here after only the essential consumers included in the first five classes of the war priorities list would be supplied with coal and asked the help of all state and municipal authorities to make rationing effective. The order, which made national those restrictions already put into lo cal effect.W regional coal committees where the pinch of fuel shortage has been felt, cuts off supplies from all but transportation agencies, which in clude international and—coastwise shipping as well as. railroads; federal and local government Institutions and establishments, including concerns working on . government contracts; public utilities, including newspapers, and retail dealers. Railroad Admin istration officials conceded that it meant wide-spread cessation of in dustrial operations, only justified by the gravity of the situation. Electric Power Included. 4 Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 1.—The regula tions effective today shortening tiours of stores and Industries In order to prevent a coal famine “apply alike to industries, stores and business hous es actually burning coal, oil or other fuel in their plants and those using electric power, whether hydro-elec- ! trie or steam,” the regional coal com- I mittec of the southern region an nounced here late today. The committee stated that hydro electric power already is being divert ed to distant communities dependent ordinarily on steam produced elec tricity. The committee relaxed its regula tions, however, to permit grocery and meat stores and mill depots to re main open unf^l 6 p. m. dally except Saturday when their closing hour is 9 p. m. It refused requests of other merchants coming under the classes closing at 4 p. m., that they be per mitted to remain open after that hour provided they used only candles or kerosene for light and no heat. 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN FITTING GLASSES E.
