PRIORITY ' ORDERS ARE IT GRANTED i
Wartime Regulations Would Ease Up Situation If Forthcoming. (BULLETIN) Treq-aent Interruption of coal supply f late hAS caused much concern to officials of the Northern Indiana Gas A: fclectric Co., due to the nation-wide traf5c Jam. However, it is believad that me power and ll?h.t producing companies will afforded relief "before they re forced to shut down. A communication received today at the Hammond office from Oscar H. Tegg, secretary of the National Committee cn Gas and Electric Service, states that the IntTs'.re Commerce Commission is expected to i3sue an order soon granting- priority rf shipment for coal. "If the situation does not Improve," mites Kr. Porgr, "the living' conditions -- a"tro:tLrr.a;el- forty .f.ve million people who arc served hy g:as and electric companies thxoug-hout the United States may soon he affected. Not only are the immediat-e conseo.uenc.es of gravest concern, but companies f nd it impossible to eecure the fuel necessary under present conditions an dare utterly unable to accumulate stocks." The reserve supply of the East Chicago power house was badly depleted during the coal strike last winter and the present freight trouble makes the outlook for nes:; winter gloomy unless seme prompt relief is afforded. BlILKTIV Factors heads In the Calumet rrplon are at their vris end over the coal mitnation and car Mrincency lapy men are heinp laid off and produ.tjon I adlT hampered.

TTIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIANArOUIS. INP, May 21 The 5riouoeis of the fiul famine as it xrfffcts the public welfare is just bcsrinr.ing to dawn, Uh all its dread possibilities on rffina'.o in the state .-apitoi who ar? watchirsg the situa-ti.-n. but who' arc helpless to do anyihme to avert the trouble. NO IMMKDIATK RKI.IHF Competent advice has bf-en giv?n th Pub!i Service Commission that nothiris will relieve the present coal stiiaiien in less than tvro or three weeks ar.d th-n only if drastic measures are taken by the federal authorities. This means that many industries must close down, that public utilities will have to f.pht for fuel in order U keep in operation and that the state will have to beg for fuel fr the state institutions. f. f. C. DIREi;AIin PI. HA Ureent requests have heen forwarded to the Interstate Commerce Commission by the Indiana cimmi.-sion for it to invoke the power pranfd by the railroad act and re-establish the wartime priority regulations. This recommendation has, so far, n"t been heeded by the I. C. C. PRionn v is XKKiiKn If the priority oriifi could be put in effect the coat operators have Informed the Indiana commission that cnouKh coal could he produced with the present car supplies to keep the. public utilities in operation. Otherwise the mines are forced to deal out the coal to industries and utiiir'rs alike irrespective of their usefulness in supplying the absolute essentia!'-: of life. VII.I. SntTT TP SHOPS Should the I. c. C. continue to disregard the pleas for priority orders It !s certain that water, electric and caa utilities jn a number of Indiana, cities will he compelled to close down (I u rinp the next week, it is said.
