KENNEDY ADVISES COAL DEALERS OF NEBRASKA TO OBEY REGULATIONS OR UNCLE SAM WILL USE NEW TACTICS State Fuel'Adminiitrator Says Government Will Furnish Coal at Mine to Dealers Unable to Obtain It and Will See That Railroads Make Prompt Delivery , .-. i: Correspondent.) ( Lilian, Nc!.. Nov. 1. (Special.) Striking straight from the shoulder and admonishing his hearers that this was no time for war profits, but for patriotism. John L. Kennedy of Oma ha, national fuel administrator for hc braska, spoke to 40 coal dealers at the offices of the state council of defense yesterday. He said he had not come to threaten the idealers, but to ask for co-operation with the government in handling the situation. "Many things must be considered in handling the fuel problem," said IMr. Kennedy, "and the government will solve these problems with the help of the coal dealers or without them if necessary." Government Stands Ready. According to Mr. Kennedy, the government is prepared to furnish coal to alt retail or wholesale dealers who cannot get coal through the channels they have been accustomed to secure it.. The government is piling up at all of the mines in the country 10 per cent of the output of the mines. When dealers cannot ob tain coal the usual way, the govern mciit will fill their orders from these piles.' Railroads are prohibited from confiscating cars of coal shipped over the roads for private individauls or for dealers. ' The government is seeing th: t the roads have sufficient coal to carry the commerce of thejjation and they can not obtain it any other way than through legitimate channels. ' ' Experts Are At Hand. The coal men asked many questions of Mr. Kennedy and appeared to be ready to cd-operate with him in any way they could. A hearty burst of applause greeted his remarks that the United States was going to end the war and end it right and as soon as possible." He admonished the men that they must be loyal to government orders. The government is prepared to .send experts to the offices of every coal dealer in the country for the Durocse or examining ins books ana discover ing whether ohicial government re quirements have been used. He said any coal dealer who desired to know the exact situation with the idea of doinjr right irt the matter, could no tify him and an expert would be sent to examine his books and see that he was started right. . "It will be much better for any of you gentlemen whd are not quite sure that you have been following the gov ernment plan," said he, "to make ap plication to' me or an expert, rather than to have the expert come in on you unasked and go over your books and perhaps find that you have not M lowed orders." Relief In East , (By Associated Frew.) Washington, Oct. Immediate relief from the coal shortage in the east was promised today by, the fuel administration which will issue a or der tomorrow modifying the arrange . ment under which shipments to the . northwest have been given preference over all other movements. Priority orders will be suspended in a number of mining districts, par ticularly in Pennsylvania to release both bituminous and anthracite coal for munitions plants and domestic consumers in the larger cities along the Atlantic seaboard. This, it is said - will assure an ample supply of fuel to the big steel producing apd ship building plants and will permit house holders in New York and Boston to obtain all the anthracite they need.
