RESTRICTIONS

WIDENED

London, Feb. 12.

The Government, acting under wartime emer- gency powers, tonight extended electricity restrictions to all England, Scotland and Wales, ordered gaol sentences and fines of violators and announced a series of drastic manpower and transport measures to speed movement of coal to Britain's fuel-starved power stations.

Despite the uproar and hardships of the nation-The ial crisis, Labour won with case the by-election for Normanton, York- shire, polling a total vote of 80 per cent compared with 85 per cent in the General Election.

Mr. G. O. Sylvester (Labour) sured tests votes and Mr. J. E. Powell (Cond 4.258, Dr. W. D. Hartley Indigendent), with 579, forfeited his deposit.

The Labour majority was 14.- 627, compared with 22.979 in the General Election.

The by-election vacancy was caused by the resignation of Mr. Tan Smith to accept it salaried post with the Northeast Regional Tunt Board. All three candidates expressed satisfaction with the

election.
