LENINE PLEASED WITH ELECTIONS IN PETROGRAD Claims They Have Proved Great Vic- tory For the Bolsheviki Party. Petrograd, Friday, Nov. 30.—Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki premier, today expressed great elation over the re- sults of the election in Petros when asked by The Associated Press for an cxpression of opinion regard- ing the outcome. “The elections have proved a great victory for the Bolsheviki party,” said Lenine. “The number of votes cast for it in the elections »f May and Au- gust and now in November is con- stantly growing.” “Do you suppose that the Constitu- ent assembly will sanction all the measures passed by the new govern- ment of national commissioners®” he was asked. “Yes,” he replied, “it will sanction these pecause there will be no majority, according to your supposi- tion. against us, and together with the Left Social Revolutionis:s we will con- stitute a majority in Petrograd—seven out of twelvs NO DIRECT DENIAL OF COAL TO ANY INDUSTRY But Fuel Will Be Assured to Essen- tials Before Others Are Supplied. ‘Washington, Dec. 3.—Cortailment of non-essential industries to save fuel and transportation will be accomplish- ed for the present, at least, almost wholly by indirection. This was made clear today in official quarters, where it was indicated there probably will be no direct denial of either fuel or trans- portation to any industries. The best plan, it has been 'decided, is to begin at the top of the list and assure coal and rail movement to the essentials. This in itself will go-far towards accomplishing the _ ends sought. Fuel Administrator Garfield already has sent to coal producers a preferred list of consumers to serve ihem as a guide to filline orders and at his request the railroads are giv- ing preference to coal shipment. The committee on priority of trans- portation, of which Robert S. Lovett is chairman, is disposed to go at the problem of denying rail fmovement non-essentials very deliberately. It is even lkely, it was learned todav, that no general priority order giving preferential movement to certain com- modities will be issued, at least for a time.
