MAY ALSO UFF IMBARGU Two of Ten Heatless M , i, Have Been Observed-Will qld Another conference Soon. Washington.--Abandonment of the heatless Monday program was pre dicted at the close of a prolonged con ference between Fuel Adninistrator Garflield and Director General of Rail road MCAdOO. A final decision was not reached and a further conference will be held but there was every indication that both officials, as well as President Wilson, who has been consulted, feel that the purpose sought can be ac complished from now ofr by continu ance of preferential coal transporta tion and distribution and by railload embargoes now In force. At the conclusion of the conference the following statement was issued jointly by )r. Garfild and Mr. Mc Adoo. McAdoo-Garfield Statement. "We have had under consideration the question of suspending the Mon day closing order. We have not reached a final conclusion about it. We shall have another conference when the results of the Monday closings and of the railroad embargoes up to that time can be fully consider ed, and shall be able to make an an nouncement as to whether or not a sus pension of the Monday closing order may be made." Ten heatless Mondays were decreed by the fuel administration January 17 as a measure to save coal and to re lieve railroad transportation. The Monday holidays were preceded by a fAve-day industrial shut down at the close of which eastern railroads at the direction of Director McAdoo, put on embargoes against tle. movement of general freight. The Monday closing has brought the most vigorous opposition from corn mnercial interests, particularly the big department stores. The small stores, too, have opposed it as have the own ers of office buildings. Theaters suc ceeded in having the day as applied to them changed to Tuesday. WARNING GIVEN TO ALL FLOUR DEALERS Must Not Take Advantage of Shortage in Other Cereals. Washington.-Unwarranted price in -reases in wheat flour substitutes will not be permitted. The food admin istration gave warning to dealers that they must not take advantage of tem porary shortages in other cereals brought on by the heavy dlemuand the new baking regullation1e has caused. Many complaints ministrator Hoover substitutes already their prices. "Mills of tihe ,coi Hoover, "are preparedl to meet the greater demand of housewives and bakers for otheri cereals during the next few monthis. ILack of t ransporta lion is the only factor that will stand in thle way of propier distlI ition th roughiou th le 'coluntry. "At least one of the subhstitumtes is produced in quan1lt it y in almost every p~art of the count ry. If any shortnges occur they will 1)e local. The sumpply of substitutes is ample to meet our needs and It is conifidently expected that with the freer mnoverapnlt of grains to the mills andic of the finished product to the conisunmer lower prices than thoso gow prevailing wvill result. "The normal tendency of local scar cities would be to advance prIces out of line with the cost of production and (istribution. Under inc food conatrol act this will not happen. A" ficensees dealing In food commodities wvho do not give their customers the benefit of fair andi moderate prices, selling at no more than a reasonable profit above cost, will have their licenses revoked."
