LONDON'S FUEL SHORTAGE
LONDON, Mar. 25. The fuel position in London during the winter was extremely grave, said Lord Latham in the House of Lords, discussing coal production and distribution. Thousands of Londoners were without warmth for long periods and the residents of one important metropolitan borough were obliged to go to bed after tea in order to keep warm. If the same position was not to arise next winter the Government must immediately introduce improved organisation for the distribution and storage of coal in advance. Lord Templemore announced that a certain number of men were being released from the army for service in the pits and further measures were under consideration.
