Fuel order suspends half states industries five days a week
A government fuel administrator order cuts production across roughly half the industries east of the Mississippi for five days weekly for ten weeks, with nine days of rail controls and a push to recover lost wages. Critics warn the plan harms employers and workers, while proponents say drastic steps may be needed to ration coal amid war demands. The piece also reports President Wilson naming Boy Scouts as official despatch bearers to disseminate war pamphlets.
