Bvery householder, every public utility, and every industrial user of coal engaged in work essential to the prosecution of the war are earnestly advised and urged to place without delay their orders for coal to cover their needs for the twelve months be- ginning April 1. During the pas (By twelve months there has been suffering among consumers, and a curtailment of ential pro- ductlon by industries, through inability to obtain necessary fuel after the he- ginning of winter. A vear ago con- sumers were led to believe that they might sately withhold their orders until later in the year. They labored | under the impression that coal could be bought and secured as well at one time as another. They were told that there was plenty of coal for everybody and that there would be coal in also. This advice and its accept- ance by consumers was one of the con- tributing causes to the coal shortage with its consequent suffering among domestiv consumers and lessening in production of commodities needed in our war activities. The tuel administration was not then in existence, and did not begin its work until August 23. It was then too late to undo the harm which had been donme. The fuel administra- tion would be negligent of its duty to the public if it failed to call attention at this time to the unfortunate re- sults of the mistaken course pursued by the public a vear ago, and to warn all consumers in the most emphatic manner possible that a repetition of those results can be avoided only by accepting and acting immediately upon the fuel administration’s advice, here given, let every consumer of the | [ | | storage | problem. | ceeding | locomotives | tion Such | age space for their coal.
