The Midwest power conference

Plans are being perfected for a Power Conference to be held in Chicago, January 26–29, the committee in charge consisting of Arthur L. Rice, chairman, G. E. Pfisterer, secretary, with two committee members each from the American Institute of Mining Engineers, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the National Safety Council, the National Electric Light Association, the Western Society of Engineers and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. It is proposed that, at the first meeting, the conference will take up the subject of the power resources of the country; this will be followed by a second meeting for the consideration of the best ways and means to utilize these resources. Thursday afternoon will be left open for inspection trips to the various power stations and developments in and about Chicago, by way of gaining further information helpful to the cause.
