Drastic Order: Artificial Heating To Stop Designed To Build Up Coal Stocks

London, Apr. 25.

Britain has outlawed "artificial heating” in homes, factories and shops during her usually chilly summer in a drastic order designed to build up coal stocks against any new industrial crisis. Recalling the three-week shut-down of the fuel- short industry last February, the Minister of Fuel, Mr. Shinwell, told the House of Com- mons that heating by gas and electricity will be banned in homes from May 5 to October 1 and in factories and shops from May 5 to Nov- ember 1. Violaters will be punishable by law.

"I realize that if the Berich Ruthmer runs true to type, the absence of artifelag, heating may well suff in a grant dead of inconvenienter and even t cumfort," he said
