the electrical industry could save
1000 900 tons of coal year, which
would ease the strain on the coal
industry and the transportation
system.
Mr.. Walker predicted that coal viii
be scarcer this winter than last or
than it has ever BEEN" The speaker
said that while the local power COM
pany is not faced with the problem
of meeting demands for shipyards
and industrial plants, it could play
part in the conservation of coal.
Conservation of electricity, Mr..
Walker explained, is just part of
the campaign to save coal, fuel,
manpower and critical materials.
He urged homeowners to eliminate
all unnecessary lighting and point
ed out that while each saving might
be small, the accumulative effect
was important.

while curtailmerlt of electricity

dent Of the Washington Board of
Trade, who called the meeting, said
everybody would be very happy to
have such a proclamation"
Tom Walker, president of the
Council Of Electric Operating Com

the program of the War Production
Board for the voluntary curtailment
of electricity was necessary to help
save fuel, manpower, equipment and
other critically needed materials.
Would Ease Strain on Coal.
He pointed out that 80 per cent of
the electricity generated in the
country was in steam plants, with
consumption Of coal amounting to
80, 100000 to 100000. 600 tons a year
