Industry Preparing For Worst By The Associated Press The United States government to- day served John L.

Stocks of hard or anthracite coal on hand are better than was at first expected. . A survey of local industries indicated that stocks of soft or bitu- minous coal were good, In several companies reported enough on hand to last them until January. J. W. Cavers, Business Adminis- trator of the Oshawa Board of Edu- pital, said the Hospital Board has been assured of enough fuel to see it through a period of shortage. He sald also that the hospital is stock- ing up on materials which come in by rail and might be effected if rail transportation is sut off, W. G. Bunker, Business Adminis- trator o the Oshawa Board of Edu- cation, commented that the con- early in the year, The Board does not stock any large amount as the bins in its schools do not hold enough to carry through the entive. season. For instance the bins at the O.C.V.I. are filled four or five times during the winter, The coal now on hand might last until the first of the year he said. Again Name Murray C.1.0. President Atlantic City, N.J., Nov. 22--(AP) --C.1.0. delegates end their five day meeting today by re-electing president Philip Murray--the man who performed the trick of making a CIO. convention sound like one big happy family. The final day, with important matters crowding the program, could produce a spout of hot words after all--but Murray managed the first four days with such a firm hand that bitter factionalism boiled only behind closed doors. In those four days there was no- thing faintly resembling a debate on the floor over anything at all. Seldom in the C.I.0.'s history has a convention run +that smoothly. Yet the most outspoken anti-com- munist elements in the organization came here more bitter than ever before, And the hostility between the C.1.0.'s right, and left is sharper now, perhaps, than it has ever been. Murray kept the convention from getting out of hand because of the urgent need for unity in the face of the approaching wage struggles, He was able to do it because he has no possible reval as president--not this year--and all sides recognized his indispensability. C.1.0. ynions, regardless of the ideological leanings of their officers, seem likely to collaborate more closely in the wage fight than they ever have before.
