Short Supply of Fuel in Omaha
Threatens Churches and

Stopped.
' -v i
Schools, churches and theaters
'are threatened with being closed in
tyo weeks. Many nonessential in
dustries are in a similar plight be
cause of the diminishing supply of
'coal in Omaha. ,
School officials are checking every
pound of coal on hand, theater men
are counting their black diamonds
and church people are discussing
the possibility " of holding services
' in homes. '
The coal bins at these places are
being reduced to the vanishing
point.
Deliveries All Night
Coal men were busy Thursday
night making deliveries to those
'who held contracts. The new order
.issued by the terminal coal com-
" mittee went into effect at 7 a. m.
today, ordering discontinuance of
coal deliveries to schools, churches,
' places of amusement and nonessen
tial industries.
J. H. Beveridge, superintendent
of public schools, conferred Thurs
day evening with the principals on
the coal " situation. He explained
that the school-officials will equal-
, ize the coal supply between the
buildings and he estimated that not
more than two weeks' supply of
coal is now on hand for the entire
school system. Unless relief is re
ceived, some of the schools will be
closed next week.
"We are working night and day
to keep the homes of the city sup
plied with coal," said H. L. Snyder,
chairman of the terminal coal com
mittee, v He stated that the local
- supply has reached, its lowest stage

Western Towns Suffefi,
J. A. Bennewitz, chairman 'of the
Union Pacific coal committee, re
ported that many towns along the
Union Pacific, west of Omaha, are
suffering from lack of coal, and he
added that his committee is en
deavoring to distribute the supply
as fairly as possible to the various
points.
''Unless there Is early relief, the
situation will be serious," Mr. Ben
newitz added. ? - .
H. J. Plumof, assistant to the fed
eral manager of the Union' Pacific,
