Fuel Ration Plan Prioritizes Households and Essentials
Signed to meet the fuel famine in the East the plan outlined by Dr. Garfield prioritizes households first, public utilities second, ships transporting food and war materials to the American army and allies third, war industries fourth, and all other industries fifth. The program, aided by state administrators, follows P B Noyes's return to Washington as he studies the situation in New York and New England. Officials hope relief may come from shutting down less essential industries for three days a week, but closures may persist until relief is assured.

Four Plans to End Coal Shortage Proposed by Peabody
Francis S. Peabody told the Senate investigating committee four measures to improve coal supply. They include creating producing and distributing zones with shipments limited to those zones, clarifying government price policy until the war ends, assigning priority to experienced managers, and offering a premium for clean coal. He estimated the zone system could raise production by about 20 percent as shorter hauls free more railroad cars from idle time.
