ures and through its conservation d.
vision has organized fuel saving cam
paigns reaching out into every depart
ment of our national life where fuel is
consumed
Fuel economy is being given inten
sive study in connection with steam
plants and industrial uses. An organf.
cation is already in existence, pro
vided with engineers and inspectors,
who will visit every one of the two
hundred and fifty thousand steam
plants in the country with view to
the improvement both of equipment
and firing practice. This is expected
to save twenty million tons Of coal.
The econimical use Of power in fac
tories will be in the hands Of organ
lied shop committees. The power
loads of the public utilities through
out the country are being studied with
a view to adjustments which will re-
suit in large saving.
In many cities the isolated power
plants which use an extravagant
amount of coal in proportion to the
power produced will be urged to OBJ
tain more economical power from
large producing stations.
Use "Skip-stop" Plan.
The Introduction of ''skip-stop"

The consolidation of ice plants will

to the householder with his furnace

lighting is reduced to the amount alb
solutely needed, if the houses are not
overheated. the furnace hampers prop
erly adjusted and the ashes sifted, 1t
will be possible to save from fifty to
seventy-five million tons of coal with
out serious inconvenience to the
American people.
Must Avoid Disaster.
A saving of sixty million tons OF
coal is the one possible avenue Of es-
cape from national disaster. Neces-
sites of war must be supplied. The
coal deficit must inevitably come out
of the necessary fuel for non-war in
dustiies. These industries employ mil
lions of our population and furnish
the backbone OF our national wealth.
Factories will shut down and men be
out of work in proportion TO the coal
deficit Every ton of coal saved. will
keep fifty from idleness and permit
an additional creation of several hun
dred dollars worth of national wealth.
The fuel administration has frank
" given to the public statistics of an
alarming fuel situation. 1t desires to
state just as frankly and with all the
emphasis possible that it is in the
power of the American people through
fuel economy to save the country from
the effects of the fuel famine.

From U. 5. Fuel ADMINISTRATOR.
The fuel budget for the season 1918
1919 has been completed by the Uni
ted States fuel administration. We
know the worst of bad situation. A
detailed survey of coal required during
the present year for war purposes, to
keep our industries running. and for
domestic consumers, foots up about
eighty million tons more than was pro-
duced last year This is the figure on
June 1.
AS our part in the great war in
creases, we are confronted, from
month to month, with unexpected adj
ditions to former estimates of fuel re-
quirements and to greater demands on
the man-power of the country, so that
those responsible for the conservation
of fuel do not feel safe in assuming
that the increased demand will be only
eighty million tons, nor in assuming
that it will be possible to obtain
from increased production more than
one-half of the deficiency. Conserva'
ton must provide for unexpected con-
tingencies affecting both figures OF
production and of consumption.
War Adds Burden.
One has only to remember that the
production of coal last season was fiji
ty million tons greater than ever be
fore in the history Of the country ana
to reflect on the enormous added DUR
den the war has put on our transporta'
ton system, as well as the man power
which is necessary to produce and dis
tribute coal, to understand that the
fuel supply for this year is one of the
most difficult and threatening prob
lens the war has presented.
1t is estimated that the industries
not employed on war work Will re
ouire something less than 10O,OOo,OOo
tons of coal. All consumers of fuel,
war industries and otherwise, must
participate in the saving campaign,
hut non-war industries are especially
interested because whatever the de-
f;ciency turns out to be, it will come
out of their quota. Hence, the gener-
al prosperity of our industries and the
fun employment Of labor will depend
upon saving, by economies and proven.
ton of waste, between 100000 and
60 .0O0, o00, 900 tons Of coal.
Production Smaller
In spite of the intense efforts to in
crease the production of coal, the first
five months of 1918 have produced on
Iy ten million tons in excess of the
same period of 1917. If this is con.
sidered in relation to the immense
physical task involved in producing
twelve million tons Of coal per week,
it is easy to draw the conclusion that
this increased demand of one hundred
million tons cannot, to any large ex
tent be met by increased production.
And yet an actual deficit of half
million tons would mean a personal
priyation and an industrial disaster
which no one can contemplate with
equanimity.
What is the answer? There is only
one. it is saving coal. it is the answer
Europe has made in a similar situa-
coal in every possible
wav and by all of the people. If we
we're to avert the privations and dis
aster attendant upon shortage of coal
much greater than last year, the most
intensive measures of fuel economy
must be carried into every activity of
industrial and domestic life, and the
