Committee VIII Thoroughly Canvass
Situation, According to Plans
Laid at Preliminary
Meeting.

A meeting was held yesterday at
the Industrial association office at
which the Keokuk fuel commission
was organized with John Nagel as
president, II. r. Culkin and T. F..
Baldwin as members. C. F. McFar-
land who was appointed earlier in

his work with the Red Cross work
and his business, and Mr.. Nagel
takes the Craftsmanship of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Nagel was appointed on
the committee by Fuel Administrator
Webster, Monday, and accepted the
place, well knowing the amount Of
work 1t involves. When Mr.. McFar-
land found Mr. Nagel was willing to
serve, he stepped down and of Of
the committee, feeling that the press
of other work needed his attention.
The committee discussed several
ways Of fuel conservation and in
dorsed the idea OF fewer lodge ses-
sions and conservation by the
churches. Chairman Nagel left the
city this afternoon on a short busi-
ness trip, but on his return the COM
mittee will meet with the coal deal
ers Of the city and 90 into the stu
alton In a most thorough manner.
One of the suggestions from the
fuel committee to the dealers will be
that no coal orders will be filled
where the purchaser has ten day
supply Of coal on hand. This, it is
believed, would cut down any oppor-
tunity to hoard lot Of coal by any
Individual or plant Other sugges-
ions are going to be considered, and
The whole situation will be most care
July discussed when the committee
meets the coal men.
