Drastic Curtai|ment Order Goes
. Into Effect Despite Appeals
For Delay.
SENATE PLEA SPuRNEO
Upper House Had Passed Resolution
Demanding Postponement, Vote of
Senators Standing Fifty To
Nineteen.

Washington, Jan. 19.-An indus
trial plants east. of the Mississippi
and in the states of Minnesota and
Louisiana, except 43 specified plants
doing vital war work, were, under
orders to close down at midnight and
remain closed until Tuesday at
midnight.
The Garfield curtailment order,
more drastic than anything tie gov
eminent has ever issued since Am.
erica entered the war, was officially
signed at 6 o'clock.
1t was issued in the teeth of a
resolution passed few moments
before by the Senate, demanding a
postponement. Fifty out of the SO
senator's voting in it favored its
passage. Nineteen voted in the neg
alive.
At the same time Fuel Admins.
TRAITOR Garfield, backed to the limit
Ey President Wilson, issued state.
ment defending the action and ex'
planning that it resulted, not so
much from a shortage of coal, as
from the almost hopeless congestion
of the railroads.
Direct Effect Of Order
1t is estimated that between 5000.
900 and 100000 workers, earning
between $15,0OO,0O0 and $20,0Oo,000
a day in wages, would be affected.
Both Garfield and President Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor, appealed
to the employers not to curtail the
wages of these men, but to pay them
over the period of the inactivity.
A total loss of between $1,5O0,0O0,-
900 and $1,75O,OOO,O0O in wages and
production values combined was
predicted in the debate in the Sell
ate.
Fear that I. w. w. agitators and
pro.German propagandists may seize
the opportunity to stir up labor
troubles caused the Department Of
Justice to take precautionary steps.
Enforcement of the order will be
undertaken through the 1900 state
and county fuel administrators scat
tered through the area involved.
Seldom has Washington seen day
of more stirring activity. An aston
ished Congress paid little attention
to any other subject during the day,
and officials generally, few of whom
had known the order was imminent,
talked of little else.
Garfield Makes Statement.
In a lengthy statement, justifying
mis- action, DR.. Garfield declared that
the chief consideration prompting it
was the necessity for providing fuel
for ships to carry food supplies
abroad for American troops and the
Allies. "The country" he said, lis
suffering from over-production and
can we'll suspend manufacturing en-.
terprises for a short time.
War munitions, food, manufac.
tured products Of every description
lie at our Atlantic ports in tens Of
thousands Of tons, while literally
hundreds of ships waiting loaded
with war goods for our men and the
Allies cannot take the seas because
their bunkers are empty of coal.
"This is war. Whatever the cost
we must pay it, so that in face OF
the enemy there can never be the re-
rroach that we held back from doing
our full share. Ships laden with
our supplies of food for men and
food for guns must have coal and put
to sea" -

TO End Title Examination Expense

Washington, Jan. iS.--Plans for
relieving borrowers of most of the ex-
pense of title examination have been
made by presidents of the II farm
loan banks in their first annual con-
ference with the federal farm loan
board. Arrangements probably will
be made by a few eastern banks with
surety companies to guarantee titles
after limited examination, and If the
experiment proves successful the sys-
tenn will be adopted by all banks.
The banks also considered plans for
marketing their own bonds

JEWS IN RUMANIA ARE
DENIED CITIZENSHIP

The Jews of Rumania have cabled
a request to the Zionist organization
in America to petition President Will
son to bring his influence to bear
against the enactment by the Ruma-
nian parliament of contemplated laws
which, they say, will result in depriv-
ing them of the few remaining rights
still left to them.
The proposed laws provide that
naturalization shall be denied to any
person both Of whose parents have not
been born in Rumania. This, they as
sert, would prevent at least two-thirds
of the Jews Of Rumania from receiy-
ing naturalization papers. These laws
are to be enacted in accordance with
the terms of the German peace treaty:

The editor of the Carabelle Citizen
has a grievance and he appeals to the
town council to enact law compelling
washerwomen to bring home the
clothes promptly. From the tenor of
the complaint it is evident that the ed
itor's other shirt is in the tender
hands of some husky colored woman,
and he wants it back, right away. 1t
is too bad, but the trouble is not con-
fined to Carrabelle-in fact there are
understood to be "trifing" washer
women in various parts of the state
and elsewhere. An ordinance might
be useful, and couldn't do much harm,
SO we hope he may prevail upon the
town authorities-and get his washing

The Panama City Pilot says that
barge building plant will probably be
established at Millville, which is quite
near Panama City. The information
IS to the effect that the Emergency
Fleet corporation will establish this
plant and that it will employ a large
number of men. AS the Pilot adds, if
this is done the influx of ship carpen-
ters and laborers will make things
lively on the bay and in Panama City.

G ERMANS OBJECTING TO
BLACK AMERICANS

The German war office is said to
be exceedingly indignant over the en-
pioyment of ''black Americans"in the
battle line. These black Americans
are American citizens, who, now pro-
duct of the ideal system of intensive
training developed in this country
are second to no fighting men on earth
and unlike the "white Hum" they fight
clean. Nobody has heard of them
crucifying captiyes, they do not at
tack women and they would not, if
turned loose in an enemy city, slaugh-
ter innocent children. "But, boy
as the wife of one of them is quoted as
saying, "they can go some" The
Eeblack" American at home is a civil
zed individual, he attends public
school in his youth and in his adult
age turns his attention to various pur-
suits, the same as his Caucasian neigh
Dor. The two races do not commingle
socially to any extent because neither
desires it. Even SO, the negro is less
"cfannish" than many settlements of
! German born residents.
The out cry from Berlin is COM
pliment to the negro. The Hun has
is'iet him on the battlefield and has
verified the proud boast of Mrs. Hem

GOVERNMENT TO LOWER
FIXED COAL PRICES

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Reduc-
ton of the gOvernment's fixed price
of bituminous coal will be ordered
by the fuel administration as soon
az a result of an agreement by
which the railroads will pay the
standard price. reached Thursday by
Fuel Administrator Garfield and
Director Gen. McAdoo.
The amount of the reduction is TO
be worked out at further confer
ences between heads Of the two ad-
ministTatiOns. DR.. Garfield today
declined to indicate what new prices
were contemplated, but the attitude
of the railroad administration was
understood 10 be that the maximum
should be in the neighborhood of
S2.25 a ton and that the figure might
be lower. This IS 35 or 40 cents be-
low the present general average Of
government prices for bituminous
coal at the mines.
The railroad administration has
also agreed to distribute cars evenly
among all mines. abandoning the
practice under private management
of furnishing 100 per cent supply to
mines turning out railroad coal and
cutting the supply to other mines
in the same localities not holding
railway contracts. This arrange
ment advocated by DR.. Garfield as a
means Of preventing the drawing Of
labor TO the railroad mines and cur
failing production by the other col
Tiers. is now expected 10 result in
greater production during the re-
mainder Of the year.
