Representatives from every kind of retail badness affected by the fuel conservation orders were gath ered in the lobby and rooms of the Rock Island club this noon when the fuel committee went into ses- " " v iibd, leemuB vo ucuius their Individual case- There was a crowd totaling at least a hundred there from 11:30 until late In the afterfloofi. " The. butcher, the baker, the pool room keeper, the cigar store man, the grocer, the confectioner, the ice cream parlor proprietor, all were there. Organized labor was largely represented by heads of unions and other leading men. The ministers of, churches were there, with sug gestions, petitions and bearings on grievance! to put before the com mittee. It dawned upon the by stander that the fuel orders bit a rge portion of the population directly. Lest the consideration that sub stations of the postofflce being op erated In retail stores should be used as an argument by them to remain open, the postmaster, H. P Simpson, notified all auch places that the postal station must be closed together with their business Sereral changes are made the M ,.Vftv4..Tfti UW ls.ft.JI this afternoon by. the fuel eommlt- i ice. -jne 01 ue Don radical alter ations Is the clipping of two hours from the working day of factories whose load is Jess than 30 horse power. They may -now .operate from a. m. to S:S0 p. m. instead of 7 to J.JO. All larger consumers of power 'and light are limited to six and-one-half hoars or less of operation. Twenty-four hoar plants are ordered to close two days a at the time set by.the committee. .: The big point urged before the meeting by most of the retail men was that while their places of busi ness are closed they are losing the business which- would otherwise come to them at that time, but which they are willing tfi sacrifice, If in the meantime they do not have ; to pay for heat they are not using. They represented this as being a i big financial difficulty to them. which they are unable to escape because of contracts with landlords. The committee promises to 'use every effort to adjust the situation the best way possible, but with the admonition that the , present plan was the most effective they are able to formulate at the present time. The meeting continued until late in the afternoon, more than a, dozen audiences being give the trade and other representatives affee'ed by the fuel committee's dew orders.

An important section is that al lowing' entertainments, concerts, lectures, church fairs and the like,' only adminishing them to conserve fuel la every wax possible. The hours for barber shops are changed from- to 4 to 10 to 6. Further careful consideration by the committee, helped by sugges tions and pleas from many citizens, resulted in adding to the list a num ber of regulations not included la the original restrictions. None of these are stringent, but chiefly ap ply io smaller branches or busi ness, confirming that they are af fected by the same rules the larger ones are subject to. . The new regulations follow: On aeeeut of the aea-pre. daetJea of coal and the aeeesi slty for conserving the exist lag supply as lea m possible ' for the welfare of the people of the toamsnlty, the follow 1 lug limitation are placed en the nse of coal and of heat, power or light produced by . coal or other fuel or hydro . electric' power. 1 Factories and Shops.
