Des Moines. Aug. 14.--Unless Iowa
can get war contracts her Industries
will suffer seriously not only. during
tho present war but for ten or more
years thereafter in the opinion of Gov
ernor Harding. This Is one OF the pur-
poses tho governor has in view In the
calling Of the conference Of commercial
interests at the state house next Tues
day--the planning to secure more war
contracts for Iowa.
George Wrightman, secretary of the
Iowa State Manufacturers Association,
who has been down In Washington for
many weeks endeavoring to land war
contracts for Iowa, says the govern
ment officials do not intend for manu-
facturers out here to land these con-
tracts. He declares they are putting
in such specifications as to cut out the
smaller bidders and the big plums in
the contracts are going to eastern con-
Germs.
Governor Harding declares that Iowa
must have laborers for her agricultural
work and on the railroads X industry
is to be kept going here and these
workers should also have factory Jobs
during the time they are not, employed
on farms or on the arilroadS.
Carl Weeks, chairman OF tho sub
regional war industries board, declares
no discrimination is being made against
Iowa and the west by the government
in the matter OF war industries.
Heretofore any seeming discrirnina-
ton has been rather lack Of knowl-
edge Of just what the country. cspe.
cially in the west. is able to produce
declared Mr.. Weeks in statement
given out here. The keystone Of the
whole matter Is the questionnnire re.

Relevant Comment
Taking Chances on Shivering

In the face Of the repeated urgings
of the fuel administration that house
holders stock their next winters coal
early, the demand from this class of
buyers is disappointing, according to
"The Coal Age" This. it is asserted,
may be attributed to the fact that the
public generally seems to feel that
the price Of coal will come down on
April |, and therefore hcsitates to
place orders at the old figure. Also
dealers do not seem anxious to force
sales until some sort Of assurance is
had that they will receive sufficient
coal to take care of strong early de-
mand, as the quantity of coal now in
storage is not great. The improve
ment in rail movement noticed for tho
past two weeks has failed to continue.
Inc lines are again congestcd and
there has been an appreciable falling
or IN the number of cars supplied to
the mines. Few operators report more
than ~ per cent car supply, with the
majority of shippers down TO 25 per
cent and lower. This means, accord
ing. to this authority, that the country
will be faced with an even more seri-
Gus fuel shortage next winter unless
the government takes Immediate steps
to rehabilitate the motive power on
the railroads. whose disabled and in
adequate equipment is mainly respon-
slble TOR decreased production a.
present.
