NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBEK. 15191/ COAL SHORTAGE IS 50,000,000 TONS Production of Bituminous and Anthracite Together Has Jumped 50,000,000 Tons, But Consumption Has In- creased 100,000,000 Tons—Plan Under Consideration to Curtail Shipment to Non-Essential Industries and Issue Priority Orders for Manufacturing Establishments and Households. ‘Washington, Nov. 14—The 1917 coal shortage is put at 50,000,000 tons in estimates completed today by the fuel administration. _ Although production of bituminous and anthracite together has jumped 50,000,000 tons, consump- tion. it is declared, has increased 100,000,000 tons. Immediate measures to meet the sit- uation planned by Fuel Administrator Garfiel dinclude curtailment of shfp- ments to non-essential _industries, priority orders designed to increase the car supply and a campaign for coal conservation in manufacturing estabe lishments and households. Previgus statements from the fuel administfation had indicated the be- lief that the increased production might mest the enlarged demand. Mu- nitions plants, however, are said to be using fully. 50 per cent. more coal than they did a year ago and other lines of industry stimulated by war conditions are demanding nearly as large an in- erease in their supplies. “The fuel administration is deter- mined,” said Dr. Garfield today, “that war industries, public utilities and do- mestic consumers shall be supplied. To this end the fuel administration expects the co-operation of every coal user in the country. The fuel admip- istration will use all of its authority to prevent.the waste of fuel and the unnecessary use of coal. ' Domestic users will be urged to conserve their supplies. ‘““Wherever the unnecessary BALTIC Large and” Enthusiastic Audience at Oceum Patriotic Entertainment— Versailles Sanitary Fibre Company’ New - Flag Unfurled With Special Clr-monh.—Gon-r-l News. use of One of the larsest crowds that ever assembled in St. Josephs’ hall, Occum, was present Sunday evening when a| patriotic entertaihment was staged by Occum and Versailles young people under the able direction of Mrs. tume P.

SAM KATZ, Room D. 8. 312 coal in industry threatens to embarrass war industry, the fuel administration will ‘see that the war needs are filled. All_activities which are unnecessary to the maintenance of the military o1 economic efficiency will have to give way by curtailment to the necessities of war, and this must be accomplished without undue curtailment of the do- mestic supply. “Thig policy is expected to relieve not only the demand for coal, but a part of the enormous pressure on the transportation facilities of the coun- Dr. Garfield illustrated the increased demand for coal by pointing to the requirements of the Bethlehem Steel company, which is consuming this year 3.000,000 tons more than it took in 1916. The demands of the govern- ment. - including the requirements of the fighting forces. of the army and navy, jumped this year from 2,000,000 to 8,000,000 tons.. THe requirements of public utilities companies have in- creased about 33 per cent. Most of this increase was due to the increased use of power by munitions plants. Solution of the car shortage prob- lem, officials believe, will do as much toward increasing the supply to meet the demand as will curtailment of in- dustry, although the best possible use of transportation facilities still would leave the country. many millions of tons short of fuel. Curtailment w{il be enforced to a point where con- sumption and production are balanced. solo, Commodore, Moses Lafrennier.
