PERS-EMPLOYE SHOULD
HEED GARFiELD'S APPEAL
To Meet Decree Without Shifting the
Burden to ToiIers, Says Head vt
eration-Eight-Hou Day Is Sug-
qested as Remedy.

Washington, -, Samuel GOmpers,
President of the American Federation
of Labor, in a statement declared the
workers of the nation will he the
greatest sufferers from the fuel restric
ton order, but that they will main
tain their loyal stand, despite their
suffering and sacrifices which they
may be called upon to bear
Gompers expressed doubt that five
day suspension of industry was the
best way to meet the situation, and
suggested that wiser and more prac-
teal course" would have been to place
all industries of the country upon an
eight-hour basic work day, at least
during the war.
Gompers said that everything must
be done to see that the workers are
not made to suffer unnecessarily, and
he expressed the hope that the en-
ployers would heed Fuel Administrator
Garfield's appeal to comply with the
order without shifting the burden to
labor" "The shutting down of all in
dustries for five continuous days is
only warranted if based upon imme-
date emergency, and l have some
doubts if five continuous days is the
best measure" said Gompers. ut GER
tainly seems a very radical measure to
meet the problems of transportation.
l am in receipt of large number of
Geographic protests from workers in
several parts of the country, declar-
ing that the effect of the orders will
throw their men out of employment;
that due to the high cost of living they
have been unable to lay anything
aside, and that their sufferings during
this period will be very great. In ad-
dition to this, l am strongly of the
opinion that to place the industries Of
the country upon an eight-hour basis
workday, at least during the war aud
as a war measure, would have been a
much wiser and more practical course
than the creation of legal holidays,
which will make holidays from Satur.

ALL INDUSTRIES MUST Close
Garfield Five Day Fuel Priority
Order Is the Most Drastic
Measure Given.

Washington.-For flve days every
industry in the United States, east or
the Mississippi River, including even
the war industries, must close down.
The States of Minnesota and Louis
lana are included. This is the com
mand sent forth in the most drastic
and sweeping fuel priority order ever
issued by the Government. Its pur-
rose is to meet the serious coal fam
inc. The same order fixes every Mon
day from January % to March 70, IN
elusive, as a holiday. Several excep-
tions were made in the order with re-
gard To certain industries, which, like
blast furnaces, would be ruined by
any cessation of their plants, and
manufacturers of perishable food
stuffs.
Newspapers are excepted entirely
from four of the five days. but they are
limited to holiday editions on the nine
Mondays designated. On such days
they may only print such editions as
they are accustomed to issue on ma
tional holidays. Those papers not &C
customed to issue any editions on such
holidays may print not more than one
edition. DR.. H. A. Garfield, Federal
Fuel Administrator, said that failure
to observe the order will make per-
son liable to the provisions Of the
Lever law. This imposes maximum
of $4,000 fine, or a Jail sentence. The

The two have been in conference sew

only difference lies in the fact that

gency essentials besides coal: While

it is known that they will be permitted
to continue operations, as usual, al
though munitions plants will be closed
