Fuel Situation Will Be Severe Dealers Urged By Government To Do Everything Possible To Prevent Suffering This Winter. The demand for solid fuel for war needs as well as for domestic jiqp is miirh preater at nresent " - i - -------- c than the production in all dis tricts according to a memorandum forwarded to all Indiana retail coal dealers by W. G. Stockton, Ara . Distribution Manager, Indianapolis Office of Solid Fuels Administration for war. ' ' It is pointed . out that it is necessary that domestic consumers and other non-industrial users of the scarcer coals receive 20 per cent less than they would ordinarily, because , the coal shortage has reached such pro portions that if this reduction is not carried out there will not be enough coal for essential war requirements. Most dealers realize their obligation to their community and are using every means possible to induce their customers to accept delivery of any type coal their dealers can offer. I The defeat of Germany has not ended the fuel shortage and demands . attending the war with Japan will cause fuel requirements to remain high. Manpower is expected to continue short for producing and deliverng fuel. Transportation will continue to be heavily burdened by military activities. There will be a serious over-all fuel shortage which will necessitate rigid conservation next winter. Dealers are advised that it will ,be helpful and of great benefit to the Government s program u they remind their solid fuels con sumers of the things that can be done now toward keeping warm next winter. These Include: (1) Request your customer to place their orders with you now. Warn them not to wait until you are unable to serve them ade quately. 1 (2) Suesest that they accept whatever fuel you recommend. The war nay make it impossible for vou to nrovide- your cus tomer with his favorite kind or size or his customary quantity. (3) Suggest that they store their coal whenever you can deliver. Remind them to Iremember that vou have fewer men and less equipment for serving their needs, and you m&y have diffi culties .in getting1 coal delivered next fall and winter. (4) Prepare now to conserve fuel next winter. Suggest to them to make their homes or buildings heat-tight by insulation, storm doors and windows, weather-stripping and caulking up the windows. Suggest that they place their heating plants in efficient condition, and Install heat controls wherever possible.
