Theatre Interests Fight Coal Curbs In New York City
The big New York theatre interests plan to petition Fuel Administrator Wiggin to block any three night per week shutdown to save coal. Managers say such curtailment would ruin theatres, cost thousands of jobs and tax revenue, and have little coal savings. Jerom e and the National Association of the Moving Picture Industry back the fight, arguing a study shows negligible coal savings while losses would be vast. A separate report notes railways crippled by weather threaten wartime supply lines and may require soldiers to man coal and freight operations.
