Show THE PAGE TWO Robot Gives World Taste Of the War of Tomorrow Serious Shortages of Coal, Wood antl Oil Make Practices Necessary for All. Be Coal, coke, oil, gas or wood whatever you burn for fuel will be short in supply this winter, as they all have been for the last three years. They may be even scarcer. The reason is familiar enough it's the war. There are fewer men mining coal, or making coke, or cutting wood. On the other hand, industrial uses of all fuels, and particularly soft coal, have doubled and trebled. Transportation facilities further complicate a bad situation. Overburdened railroads cannot haul the usual volume of fuel, and war plants get the first chance at what does come to market.

That is past history. The future, as I say, is shrouded in mystery.

Soft coal production has been running at the rate of about 12 million tons a week during 1944. The nation has been burning about 11.409.000 tons a week so far this year, so production is slightly ahead of consumption This would look like a sound and safe situation. But It isn't. The squeeze comes because of several reasons. Despite the splendid job the railroads and water car- - riers are doing, the great volume of freight they must handle forces them to sidetrack coal shipments for days and weeks. Thus many localities may be in need of coal, but unable to get it quickly. Another factor is the uncertain but huge demand of the armed forces. Great quantities of coal must be shipped to liberated coun- tries, both for American military establishments and for the countries' own utilities.
