N E ED KOB E MINERS Win the War Program Calls Former Workers Pack to the Mints. Comprehensive plan* for locating and bringing back to tke mines., more than 50,000 coal miner* who have en­ gaged In other lines of work In the lp.it two years have been perfected by the Federal Employment Service, and will be put Into effect. The pro­ gram is based on the results of the conferences in Washington recently between the Federal Fuel Administra­ tion and representatives of the oper­ ators. and the miners in connection with the anthracite wage'situation. The work of locating the miners will be performed chiefly through the transfer card system of the 3,500 fo­ cal unions of the United Mine Work­ ers of America. An investigation will also be conducted through commit­ tees appointed at various times by the coal Operators and the Federal Fuel Administration. Production com­ mittees at each mine in the country, will be asked to take up the matter and lend Intelligent' efforts toward locating the men. Replies to letters that have been sent out in connection with card transfers have already located be­ tween 15,000 and 20,000 former min­ ers, .and the Employment Service will get into touch with them for the pur­ pose of Inducing them to return to their former employment. The opin­ ion was expressed by officials of toe employment service that at least 50,* 000 men will be located In that way, and as many of them as possible re­ lumed to the mines. In all Instances where the men are not- now engaged in essential war industries? or in war production, :the utmost efforts will be exerted to persuade them to return to the coal fields, it IS said, even to the extent of calling upon the- War Industries Board to levy restrictions and cur­ tailments on the volume of fuel, raw* materials, transportation, capital and other supplies and, requisites which are necessary to keep in operation. NATURAL GAS CONSERVED Fuel Administration Acte to Limit Free Consumption. The Fuel Administration, through it* Bureau of Oil Conservation, has ssht letters to all natural gas com­ panies, la West Virginia. Ohio, Penn­ sylvania, Kansas, . Kentucky, New York, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisi­ ana and California, requesting that free consumers bo, limited to 2*0,000 cubic feet of natural gas per annum and calling for a report of results accomplished on Dec, 1. By tree consumers is meant those usere of natural gas who are re­ lieved of payment because they have wells or pipe lines on their property. Up to this time the average consump­ tion of free user* in West Virginia alone, hae been 4*0,000 cublcu fest per consumer per year. This is regarded by the Fuel Administration as caus­ ing a waste of at least 360,000. cubic feet per consumer per year. In addition to limiting free con­ sumers the Fuel Administration fur­ ther requests that the nee of all open or flambeaux lights be stopped and that all other wasteful practices by ooniumers be eliminated. The nat­ ural gas companies are informed that to properly carry out these requests it will he aeoessary to place meters en all tree consumers’ service lines. In many, instances boom towns in the gas fields have held out the in­ ducement of supplying free gas or supplying It at ridiculously low prices to industries that would locate there, This is especially true of West Virginia, and has resulted in depriving many domestic consumers of ah adequate supply of fuel tor lousehold use. It Is estimated that there are 4,400 free consumers in West Virgin!* alone and that the amount of waste from this source is 1,540,000,000 cubic feet per annum. i How Fast Dogs Can Run.
