With trnltlc tied up thioughout the
State as a result of the storm and coal
dealers In the city experiencing great
difficulty In delivering what little fuel
they havo nn hand, the Philadelphia coal
famine Is more acute today than it has
been for weeks. Appeals for relief In
homes where sickness prevails are pour
ing Into the fuel administration offices
and to the emergency aid investigation
station-in the Mayors office. City Hall.
Mr. Potter's action In diverting the
coal for consumption hero Is In defiance
of Doctor Garfield's order prohibiting
coal administrators of any Stato from
seizing coal consigned to other sections
of the country. It Is tho belief ot all
Interests close to the coal trado that
this action will "start something." They
say It offers grounds for a test rase of
tho power of State administrators to di
vert supplies In an emergency.
12,000 TONS SEIZED II Km:
Tho relzures aggregated 12,000 tons.
More than 1300 tons were taken from a
barge In the Delaware Illver to sail for
Florida. Kven with the seizure, Plilla
delphla's coal receipts for the last
twenty-four hours amounted only to
about 1,000 tons, the amount esti
mated to surply all householders on war
time rations. Less than 0000 tons were
brought here by the railroads.
Another step to lake care of needy
families has been taken by Mr. Potter,
He has appointed John Kdmunds, of the
Madeira-Hill Company, anthracite ad
ministrator for Pennsylvania. It will
b) his duty, Mr. I'otter announced, to
assure that family' size coal Is not di

munds has liad more than thirty years'
experience In fuel distribution.
While Mr. .Potter was diverting the
coal here, at a time when the coal bine
