NO MORE HEATLESS MONDAYS; SITUATION MUCH IMPROVED.

Washington, Feb. 11.—The east observed today what fuel administrations last night predicted would be its last heatless Monday. Already the closing order has been suspended insofar as it applies to eight southern states and officials believe the good weather of the last few days with its consequent improvement in railroad traffic conditions will make enforcement unnecessary anywhere after this week. Fuel Administrator Garfield is greatly encouraged over the prospects and is confident a situation will not arise again similar to that which brought the order suspending activity for five days in succession and the Monday closings.
