COAL SHORTAGE IN U.S.
SIGNS SWITCHED OFF ON BROADWAY NEW YORK, Feb. 19. The coal shortage put out Broadway’s glittering advertising lights tonight. Some operators of big signs were slow in obeying the order to conserve power, but the police soon had the last sign switched off. It was the third brown-out since the Second World War. Previously, another coal shortage and a tug-boat strike brought gloom to Broadway. Prospects for a resumption of work in the coalmines were considered poor to-day, as reports came in from, the coalfields. >
Five big branches of the United Mine Workers in Pennsylvania voted to ignore the order of their national president (Mr John L. Lewis) to return to work. Branches in some other States have not voted on the order.
