Relaxation in Present Efforts to Conserve or In- crease Coal Supply. Wali!ingmn, Feb. 6. — Danger of still i§ imminent. Fuel administration officials declared tonight in announc- ing officially the continuance of the Monday- closing order. Homes in Gities Without Coal. State '’ admilhistrators have report- ed that thousands of homes in New York and other cities of the east and middle west have no coal and cannot get it in sufficient quantities to make living conditions bearable. Coal Movement Almost at a Standstill This_situation, coupled with today': railroad administration reports thai freight and coal movement was al- most at a standstill both yestehday and today in the east, prompted Fuel Administrator Garfield to announce that “the possibility of human suf- fering is too imminent to permit any relaxation- in the present efforts to conserve and increase the existing supply of ‘coal.” Hope For Relief Next Week. Dr. Garfield expressed the hope, how- ever, that after.next week railroad freight . embargo and preferential coal deliverie ordérs may be used as substitutes for heatless Mondays to effect coal saving. “It is hoped,” he said, “that ‘with the shutdown on Monday, February 1i, and the closing in many states on the day following, Lincoin's Birthday, it will be possible henceforth to rely up- on embargoes and the preference in movement of food .and fuel ordered by the director general of railroads.” Considering Suspension Next.Tuesday The fuel administration is consid- ering issuing a request that all indus- tries and business houses suspend op- erations next Tuesday, Lincoln’s Birthday. 3 Industrial Suspension a Success. Officials are-now convinced that the industrial suspension has been effica-' cious in actually saving fuel in quan- tities and that the consumption at other times has not been increased by. {the temporary shutdown. Without at- tempting to measnure the = result by, comparative statistics, officials cited the report of the National Committee on' Gas and Blectric Service, that in 29 large citiés gas : glectric com- patiles saved from 21 to 25 per cent. of their normal coal consumption on the five day susiension period hetween January 17 and 22, and.on the heat- less Mondays. These public utilities were said to furnish a fair index of the general saving. Plants Using Last Day’s Supply. State and local fuel administrators reported today that hundreds of man- ufacturing plants are using their last day’s emergency supply of coal with- out immediate prospects of obtaining more. In many cities, householders hesieged railroad yards to get a few bushels of the coal from the cars that came trickling in over railroads crip- pled by yesterday’s bitter blizzard. Traffic Less Than Half Normal. For the railroads, weather condi- tions todav were a little better, but still freighf traffic was less than hall of normal, and although coal and pref- erer.ce everywhere, comparatively ismall stocks of it were hauled. En- L gines could not .reach mines through twenty foot snowdrifts in some Fenn- sylvania regions and consequently the mines were idle. - Officials pointed out that the full effect of this derange- ment will be felt tomorrow and Sat- urday, and even by the middle of next I'week if weather still remains as hos- tile to successful operations. PUBLIC SPE S FOR NEXT LIBERTY LCAN CAMPAIGN { Are to be Sent to France to Get “Lo- cal Color” For Arguments. New York, Feb. 6.—In preparation for the campaign to float the next Lib- erty Laan, a number of men selected for their ability as forceful public suealers will soon sai] for France to visit the battle front and devastated portions of the.country to gather “lo- cal color” for future arguments to boost the loan.
