Order Will Do Infinite
Harm, Here and Abroad,
Says Ex-Attorney General

EN-President William II. Taft first
learned of the Garfield coal order
when it was read to him last night
by n reporter at the dinner of the
National Boot and Shoe Manufac-
turers' Association at the Hotel AS
tor in New York. Mr.. Taft declined
TO comment further than to say:
1t is a very drastic order, and l
can only hope that it has been issued
on expert evidence"
EX-Attorney General George W.
Wickersham said that, in his opin-
ion, DR.. Garfield's order would do
infinite HARM" both home and
abroad.
This order means the breakdown
of government regulation" said Mr..
Wickersham. IF the best the gov
ernment can do is close down the
factories, we had better go back to
individual control of industry. The
effect in Germany will, of course,
be bad for us, but the effect in this
country will be worse and that is of
first importance. 1t may be that
the crude government interference
which we have been having has fore
ed the country to condition where
DR.. Garfield's order is the only
thing that can be done, but if this is
so, the fact demonstrates the COM
plete futility of such government
control as we have been suffering
from and emphasizes the absolute
necessity for an entire reorganiza-
ton of affairs that will put compe-
tent men at the head of our war
work."

sions of the orders, their possible eff
fects on the city's Industries and the
manner In which they would be en-
forced.
Fuel administrators frankly ad-
mltted they were not prepared for
sCch startling announcement from
Washington and that it would be
some time before they could famiI-
iarize themselves with the complex
details of the plan. Opinion among
business men and officials as to
whether results would be beneficial or
otherwise, was widely divergent.
In the opinion of industrial statis-
ticians, approximately 5000, 600 wage
earners in New York state will be
affected by the temporary shutdown
of industry. OF this number. more
than 100000 live and work in this
city The wage loss for the fifteen
days. according to conservative unof-
fetal estimates, will be S102,52S,15O.
Many large establishments, il is
said, are preparing to pay their en-
pioyes in full or in part, as a patri-
otic effort. Small industries, unable
to carry their employees on the payroll
during the days of idleness, will be
forced to bear the brunt of the bur-
den here.

S,857 Industries Are
Affected in Chicago by
Garfield Closing Order
BY Associatcd Press

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Nearly 4OO. 900
workers in the Chicago industrial
district it was estimated to-day by
statisticians are affected by the order
of the national fuel administrator. op-
erative for five days tomorrow. This
number will be largely augmented on
the ten holiday Mondays by employees
of stores, theaters and other business
concerns. The number of manufac-
turing plants in the Chicago district
which will shut down in compliance
with the order to conserve coal is
approximately S,S57. Besides the city
the Chicago district includes outly-
ing townships in Cook county and
Calumet and North townships in Lake
county and northern Indiana where
great steel plants are located.
The order forestalled plan which
the state fuel administration was to
announce to-day, making the Satur-
days and Mondays of the next two
weeks holidays. 1t was believed by
the local fuel administration officials
that four days lapse in business
would have been sufficient for Illi-
nois, which has n fuel shortage of
about 100000 tons.

gency. These will be subject to re-
view by the fuel administration.
Protests began to pour into the
fuel administration offices early this
morning. What we have DONE"
SAID DR.. Garfield, "I know will raise
storm of objection throughout the
country, but the people will see that
the order was wise and was neces-
sary.""
Will Ask Full Pay
DR.. Garfield will issue, probably
during the day, a public appeal to
employers to continue the pay of
their employees during the time they
are idle because of the fuel order.
The government has no power to
enforce this request. but will call on
employers to take the step as a
patriotic duty.
To clear up the congestion of

has selected a special assistant to

Railways to Operate
Sunday Passenger Train
Schedules on Mondays

Local railroad officials said to-day
that they would carry out instruc-
tlons of the coal order to the letter.
There is difference of opinion as to
what passenger business will be
handled on Monday. On both the
pennsylvania Railroad and Philadel-
phia and Reading Rayway, Sunday
schedules do not include as MANY
trains as on week days. 1t is the be-
llet that instructions will be given
TO carry out Sunday schedules on
Mondays.
Freight traffic will be rushed every
day. With a cut in passenger scrv-
Ice on Mondays officials are of the
opinion that they will be able to
handle increased freight business and
go great way in wiping out con-
gestions.
With the closing down of local
plants during the next five davs,
there Will be available a number of
special shifting crews. These men,
IL rs said will be assigned to other
duties and will be kept. at work.
