Indiana Coal Plan to Use Regular Trade Channels
Evans Woollen federal fuel administrator for Indiana proposes directing coal production and distribution through established channels rather than creating a new system. He aims to ensure coal reaches consumers, relying on existing mines and dealers, and avoids opening new properties for now. The plan has broad support among coal interests and large consumers. The administrator also urges limiting coal sales to farmers with wood fuel on hand. A state defense council meeting noted waste wood as a potential substitute and urged gathering and using it for fuel. Indiana coal operators back the plan to meet current needs and avoid winter shortages. Seed corn stock committee calls farmers to secure adequate seed for next year, urging careful accumulation of good seed corn.
