NO SHORTAGE OF GASOLINE There is no shortage of gasoline in the United States, and the ar-miejSu-nd navies of this country and its Allies are being supplied as fully 'as shipping facilities permit, according to a statement, issued by the petroleum war service committee, of which A.

OP SEEVICE ORDERS ISSUED TO SPEED MOVEMENT OF COAL Some increases, both to the brotherhoods and to other railway labor, are generally considered certain.

The director general in a statement promised every employee that rights and interests will, be justly dealth with," and appealed for a hearty spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation from every man. Efforts to speed the movement of coal and other freight continued along with the legislative and labor phases of the railway movement, and special orders were issued providing that five hundred additional cars shall be furnished daily to certain specified bituminous and anthracite mines, mainly in Pennsylvania, for supplying New England. These problems forced Mr. Mc-Adoo to postpone until later action on Eastern passenger traffic officials' recommendations for curtailment of passenger schedules, but he is epxected -to issue orders then for abandonment of a number of trains and elimination of parlor and sleeping cars to a great extent. Mr.

McAdoo explained that although no general provision can be made under the law for exempting railroad employees from the draft, he will not hesitate to appeal to local exemption boards to defer the calling of these workers if the boards of their own volition do not display a tendency to regard the railroad, as an essential industry from which employees should not be taken for military service. 109 GERMAN SHIPS IN U.
