EXTENDED BY GOH Reason for Action by Officials NO FACTORY SHUTDOWN Fucl Supply at Some Plants Low But | Prospects Are Brighter—Suffering Reported Among Poor By Salvation Army. The apening of all the schools in this city after the Christmas recess has been postponed from January 7, until Monday morning January 14. The reason given by Superintendent Stanley H. Holmes for the postpon= ment of the opening is that it would seve be almost impossible to heat the schoals sufficiently to make them com- fortable for the pupils and teachers. Superintendent Holmes announced that there is suflicient coal on but that the weather is so cold that the fuel would be practically wasted in any attempt to keep the tempera- ture in the school rooms up to the normal mark. The coal will be served and used when it will be bene- ficial and effective. The task of notifying the out of town teachers now occupies Principal L. P. Slade of the Hight school and Superintendent Holmes. Most of the instructors at the High school live in ather cities and many live in other states. Factory Supply Adequate. Manufacturers today silenced ru- mors being circulated that there is danger of several factories Dbeing forced to close because of coal short- age. The situation as far New Britain is concerned becoming more satisfactory every day, it is claimed, and there is said to be little fear that the city will actually want for fuel. With the as announcement of W. G. McAdoo, director-general of the trans- portation facilities of the nation, that the tracks are being cleared for ship- ments of coal to New England points, the hopes and expectations of those interested in the coal situation becamo brighter. -A number of factories in Connecticut have been forced to shut down and some cities are in greater want than New Britain. hand | con- | plant 18 ufacture 18 United Stal | dreds of thi completion wers men, Clarence H Mervin - Shirely, | but will recover. | The fire started workmen ifying that it ceded by an explosion, but theW agement says the investigation 8 | being conducted has not yet reveal® it was due to incendairies.

According to information from Salvation Army officials, that | organization has more appeals from | poor people for assistance than ever | before in its history in this city. | Coal, other fuel, warm clothing and | food are among the most important | articles asked for. | Superintendent A. J. Hart of the | municipal charity department said this afternoon that there had been no unusual demand for assistance at his department. A number of those who are dependent on the department for assistance have requested their coal | orders ahead of time.
