"There will be anthracite coal te

if they will carefully conserve it.
"It must he borne in mind that It
will take at least a month before the

that month the stnnll supply con only

is that the American householder is te

demand will be for hard coal. It is
likely that the mines will be in opera

timate the extent of the need.
"The question of fixing n fair price
was considered at the meeting, but
that is primarily a State function.
The Government will lend all the old
