4 The resulting shortages in the Ostrava/Karwin district had to be replaced by lower-quality coal. The lack of low-quality quantities in small coal, extraction and dust coal should be covered by corresponding additional production over the course of the month. In this type of fuel, proposals had to be removed from the industrial group of iron-producing industries, transferred to other emergency stages, or replaced by Erüxer lignite. The shortfall of about 5 Ooot Kladnoer Griess, for which no substitute coal could be allocated, resulted in the following deletions: 3 Ooo t at the Prague Iron-Industrial Company, 2 Ooo tonnes at the Poldihütte. The shortfall was replaced by Brüxer and Nürschaner lignite. The allocations to lignite from the Bruxelles district could only be made in full for May in all production groups, since the stockpiling of sugar factories is only begun in June. The supply companies still have sufficient stocks on the basis of the figures given in the official declarations, so that allocations for May could be carried out in Bruxelles lignite to a small extent. The low incidence of Kladnoer Griesskohle, in addition to the supply of the entire industry, makes it particularly difficult to stock up the sugar industry for the next six months, which requested 1 8 ooot Kladnoss Griesz per month. As a result of the rapid influx of coal from Griess, it is therefore only possible to make available to the sugar industry for storage purposes at a monthly rate of about 3 goo t. A review of the stocks at Skodawerke, Pilsen, showed that the stocks have shrunk very much. In cooperation with the Sudetenland coal syndicate, Aussig, attempts will be made to supply the Skoda plants with preference over the next few months. A return question at the Skoda plants showed that the fuel trade has increased by the orders placed directly by the Reich in such a way that the quantities of fuel allocated by the coal industry were no longer sufficient and that stocks had to be seized.
