August 24, 1922 – Minnesota fuel
distribution authorities will ask for a return to the priority order, in order
to obtain a coal supply for the state at once. The fuel situation in the
northwest is now critical. Unless Minnesota alone can get 600,000 tons of coal
weekly beginning next week, many essential industries will have to be closed
down.
The state has received no coal this week though it was scheduled to receive
400,000 tons.

Received in Minnesota This Week”; Aug. 24, 1922; p. 1.
