Dr. GARFIELD went before the Senate

his reasons for issuing the order.

at it's height that the Senate COM
merce subcommittee investigating the

GIVES HIS EXPLANATION AND
JUSTIFICATION OF THE ORDER

The following statement, In explana-
ton and Justification of the order, was
Issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield:
The unprecedented adverse weather
conditions Of recent weeks and the in
adequacy of the present coal supply
and transportation facilities to meet
the enormous wartime demand have
made necessary immediate restrictive
measures as to the use of coal in that
part of the United States east of the
Mississippi river.
The movement of coal in transporta-
tion must be SO directed as to aid the
director general of railways in dealing
with the railroad emergency created by
recent blizzard conditions. Domestic
consumers of coal must be kept warm
sumers must be supplied.
All industry must be equally re-
stricted In its use of coal. in order that
the available supply for the remainder
Of the winter may be properly distrib-
uted and may be made sufficient for
absolutely essential needs during the
remainder OF the winter
ITO meet these necessities the fuel
administration has ordered as an imme-
diate emergency measure that on the
days of January IS, 10. 20, II and %
preference and priority in the use OF
coal shall be given only, to those con-
sumers whose consumption of coal is
absolutely necessary. These include In
order: Railroads, domestic consumers,
hospitals and charitable institutions,

bunker purposes, United States govern

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE AFTER
CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE

Announcement of Fuel Administrator
Garfield's coal program came unexpect-
edly last night, following a conference
at the White House. It was decided
upon hurriedly by the President and
government heads as a desperate rem
edy for the fuel crisis and the trans
Opinion Unanimous as to Necessity.
The White House conference was at
tended also by Secretaries Baker and
Daniels. Earlier in the day DIR. Gar
field had sought the views Of other Of
ficials and 1t was said to be the unani-
nous opinion that the measure contem-
plated was necessary under the circum-
stances.
AS first drawn and as approved at the
White House the order called for the
closing of factories beginning this
morning. This was changed to tomor-
row morning upon consideration of the
confusion which would result when
millions of workers went to their du-
ties unaware of the governments step.
War Industries Included.
those to which fuel will be denied
explained that war plants have been
producing so much more material than
the transportation systems can handle
that no serious effects will be felt War
supplies manufactured for export have
moved to seaboard faster than ships
can move them.
An exception is made in the case of
shipbuilding plants because of the
great need for vessels to move supplies
alKeady ready for shipment overseas.
To Rush Work at Coal Mines.
Fuel administration officials will
make an effort to increase production
at the coal mines during the period
that other business is suspended. Mines
under contract to supply industries
shut down will be directed in supple
mentary orders to send their output
elsewhere. Coal loaded and on its way
to these industries will be diverted.
1t is estimated the enforcement of the
order would save a total of 30.O00,00O
tons of bituminons coal. which probably
Is about half the present shortage. The
indications are that at the end of the
ten weeks Of Monday holidays q perma-
}nent policy of restricted consumption
will have been determined on. This
plan will limit the use of coal to the
less essential industries under self
lrationing basis.
| Expects to Clear Freight Congestion.
The order is expected to go far
toward clearing choked and congesteG
railroad tracks and terminals. 1t is
regarded as likely that Secretary Nc
Adoo. director general of railroads.
may declare a rail embargo against the
shipment of the products OF plants
closed down II necessary further to
trelieve the roads.
The critical coal situation is blamed or
the unusually severe weather of the las,
week. which has made 1t impossible In
many instances to move coal at all and
which has cut OF the fuel supplies o1
whole cities.
Odicials who worked out the curtaiImeni
plan came to the conclusion, they said
THAT the homes must be kept warm aa
