Local Stores to Open Under Mayor McKee Proclamation

Mayor W. R. McKee states the new fuel order does not apply to Sterling and that stores not burning coal may stay open as natural gas and some coal heating are allowed. He urges watching daily papers for updates while electricity lighting rules remain. Miners reportedly accept President's plan for a 14 percent wage increase and a three member commission to review conditions and profits. If accepted, coal supply may stay tight for months and restrictions could persist. Public approval meets the proclamation.
