can save food, just tell him of ways
in which ne can save coal by fol-
lowing expert advice.

LANSING, Mich, oct. 23.-Mich-

Fuel Administrator w. X. Prudden
control the distribution of a fairly

the stress of the present coal
emergency remained

In order TO prevent duplication
with the shipments of emergency
coal from outside the state under
the supervision of Mr.. Prudden, the
operators will permit him 10 direct
some Of their shipments. The idea
is 10 keep from sending too much
coal TO any one locality and thus TO
give the most scattered effect pos
sible 10 what coal is distributed be-
tween now and the relaxation of
the lake priority shipment rule OF
the United States government.
The problem was put up 10 rep
resentatives of the operators by Mr..
Prudden at a conference at which
nearly every coal operator in the
Saginaw valley was present either in
person or proxy. The contracts
which some of the operators had
hanging over them precluded any
dat-footed acceptance by the ad-
ministrator' suggestion. but when
the conference adjourned II was
practically settled that the request
Of Mr.. Prudden would be granted.
