iBa'ruch and Garfield Agree
on Plan to Supply War and
Other Industries
l WASHINGTON. June 8.——Amalga‘
imatlon of the allotment and distrihu-'
ition of st el and fuel to war and to
non-war i dustries has been» arranged
for- through conferences among
Chairman Baruch of the War Indus—
tries Board and Fuel Administrator
Garfield, which ended yesterday. The
arrangement will be put into effect
at once. and will prevent a larger
Quantity of one of these cornmodities
being sent to a' silgle industry than
can be handled in connection with
the allotted supply of the other com-
munity. .
The plan is the final step toward
putting into effect the new program
of steel control and collection which
has been announced by Mr. Baruch
and will serve to prevent wasteful
distribution of either steel or coal
among mills and foundries.
Dr. Garfield has devised measures
for giving a full supply of coal to in-
dustries. to which Mr. Baruch is al‘
lotting steel approximating 100 per
cent. of their needs. In this manner
the. war-machine will be encoded iii
to the highest notch.
Mr. Baruch expressed the belief
- yesterday that from 85 to 90 per cent
of the present steel output of the
country will be.needed to meet‘ war
needs. This will leave 10 to 15 per
cent. to be allotted among the other
essential industries. The latter
amount. be sold. will be distributed

One of the prisoners at the Fair-
field County jail whose term expir-
ed yesterday and who since Monday
has been working on the repairs of
the Black Rock Turnpike stated last
evening that if anyone mentioned a
pick and shovel to him in the future
he would contemplate doing injury to
him. Never again does he want to
see the implements of work that are‘
used in the building of roads.
Supervisor of Repairs R. E. Don-
nelly is of the opinion that the mak-
ing of prisoners work on the roads
will have a tendency to keep some
men away from jail as the majoT-lty
of them will not like the work.
said that the men that had been sent
from the jail to work on this road
this week all tried to do their best
and while thev were naturally very
soft they were able to accomplish an
amount of wort: each day that was
