Hard Coal Only to People in Northern Iowa
Des Moines July 12 Fuel Administrator Garfield refuses to modify his order shutting anthracite coal out of all Iowa except along the Illinois Central line from Dubuque to Sioux City and north. The Iowa allotment, 145000 tons, is 80 percent of 1916 usage, confined to the northern section. Each community gets 30 percent of 1916 tonnage, leaving much of the state without hard coal and increasing demand for soft coal. The piece notes Iowa mines work near capacity in summer and the labor bureau warns county agents to request only needed harvest hands to avoid waste.
