CHICAGO. Dec. ST. w. Proctor,
Regional Coal Director. to-day an
nounced tnat fuel will continue to be
furnished meat packers in Chicago
and the West and Northwest to oper-
ate slaughtering, refrigeratlng and
packing plants. Use OF coal for the
manufacturing OF any by-products Is
prohibited, and as a result all the
packers soap, glue and leather plants
were closed.
The Chicago packers reported to-
day that they had no surplus supply
Of coal on hand.
Chicago needs 500 cars of coal daily
to continue on its present 6 61-2-hour
business day basis. Hundreds OF ad-
ditional manufacturing plants closed
to-day because OF their inability TO
obtain fuel and many more thousands
OF men are idle. The fuel regulations
are being rigidly enforced and as n
result tho loop district was as quiet
as on Sunday. ...,.
Effective at 1901 Monday morning.
the most sweeping reduction of rail-
road service in history reduction in
passenger service OF one-third in
train miles" on all railroads diverg-
ing West, Southwest and Northwest
from Chicago-had been ordered. Re-
gional directors OF the Central West
ern, Southwestern and Northwestern
regions estimated that that step
alone would save 1000 tons Of coal
daily. Other curtailments OF railroad
service were being considered to-day.
A small addition to the net produc-
ton OF coal was looked for from the
Kansas and Oklahoma mines, being
operated by volunteers. and from
those In Missouri seized by the
State.
Portions OF Wyoming and Ne
briiska still were without promise oi
immediate relief to-day.
In Texas municipal officers were
busy rounding up available stocks ol
wood and other fuel. At Dallas the
| situation was temporarily relieved By
the purchase OF 1,l00 tons OF cord
| wood for immediate distribution.
Warmer weather during the last
twenty-four hours has helped to re-
lieve the situation somewhat in many
localities.
