SOME FACTS
ABOUT COAL
(1) . Domestic consumers (and
therefore retail dealers) have been
placed on Preference List ffo. 1, is
sued by the Priorities Board, which in
itself gives them every advantage in
securing shipments of coal. No action
by this department is necessary to
increase or add to the advantage
whifh they now enjoy in this particu.
lar.
(2) . It is not a function of the
State Division of the Fuel Adminis
tration to place orders either on be
half of dealers or consumers except
* Jn instances of emergency. Storage
coal cannot be considered as an emer
gency need, and will not therefore
engage the effort of this department.
(8). It has been the earnest en
deavor of this office for more than
ninety days to inform the'public both
by circular letters and through the
public press in regard to the present
coal situation. It has been pointed
out repeatedly that at the present rate
of Domestic (Lump) Coal produc
tion dealers will be unable to supply
. their trade with more than a -small
percentage of Lump Coal. In many
cases dealers will haye to depend en
tirely in Mine Run Coal.
(4.) There is a very real, and for
the. present, Incurable shortage of
coal (conservatively estimated at
not less than one hundred million tons
This shortage is occasioned by the
constantly increasing demands of
war industries. All will agree that
war Industries must be supplied with
100 per cent of their requirements.
If this is done there will not be enough
bituminous coal to supply every con
sumer and industry with their full re-
quirements. This shortage muit be
met in two ways: first, by conserva
tion, and, second,- by substituting
wood fuel.
(6) By the operation of the Pref
erence List) certain industries are al
ready cut off from their coal supply
until domestic consumers and those
industries which are considered es
sential to the war program and to
supplying the actual necessities of
the civilian population shall have
been supplied. The public is earnest
ly asked to cooperato with the fuel
administration in the matter of con
serving and of substitution of wood
fuel, thus preventing tho necessity of
Still further restricting the Prefer
once List and cutting off still more in
dustries from their coni supply, which
would bo a-very grave measure.

In this country, foo, those who KNOW are too busy to waste energy in

will far too often find a man willing even to dose a battle to prove his Gov

“If we continue 'to succeed,” says Secretary Baker
in the July issue of Hearst’s Magazine, “it will be because
millions of Americans continue to give us their aid.”
Are you one of those millions of loyal Americans? Do you really know about the War Department?
Do you innocently believe whatever people tell you about our Army—YOUR Army—or do you an
effort to get the facts? /
To Secretary Baker, as to Secretary Daniels and|to others .who are making Our Nation the chief figure
in the world’s most magnificent enterprise, Hearst’s Sunday American offers a chance to address 100,000
loyal American readers, and—through this great audience—an opportunity to fling the Truth full in the
