1) What federal agencies helped control American industries during the war (WWI)?

Question

A: The War Industries Board (WIB), the Food Administration, and the Fuel Administration helped control American industries during the war. The War Industries Board's job was to coordinate the production of war materials. It controlled the flow of raw materials, ordered the construction of new factories, and occasionally, with the president's approval, set prices. The Food Administration had a different task on its hands, however. This agency was responsible for increasing food production while reducing civilian consumption. The Fuel Administration, on the other hand, tried to manage the nation's use of coal and oil.
