Gsrfield's Statement
Fuel Administrator Garfield issued
this statement:
adverse weather conditions in the
recent week and the inadeeuacy of the
present coal supply and transportation
facilities to meet the wartime demand
have made necessary immediate re-
strictive 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-
ton must be so directed as to aid the
director general of railways in dealing
with the railroad emergency created
by recent blizzard conditions. Domes-
tic consumers of coal must be kept
warm and other absolutely necessary
consumers must be supplied.
All industry must be fully restrict
ed in its use Of coal in order that the
available supply for the remainder of
the winter may be properly distributed
and may be made sufficient for abso-
lutely essential needs during the re-
mainder of the winter.
Emergency measure
To meet these necessities. the fuel
administration has ordered as an i'm,
mediate emergency measure that on
the days of January 18th. 18th. 10th.
21st and 22nd preference and priority
in the use o. coal shall be given only
to those consumers whose consump-
ton of coal is absolutely necessary
These include in orde<- railroads. do
nestle consumers. hospitals and char
liable institutions. public utilities,
ships at tidewater for bunker purpos-
es. United States government use.
municipal or county governments for
necessary public use. manufacturers
of perishable food, or food for imme-
date consumption.
During the five days designated no
manufacturing industry shall be al
lowed to operate even if il has its coal
supply on hand. By this means all
industry will be placed on an equal
footing and each will be called upon
to make its share of the sacrifice nee
esSary 10 maintain the nation at the
highest possible point of military and
economic efficiency for the prosecu-I
ton of the war.
Monday Closines
IN addition to this emergency re-
striction over the designated five days.
the fuel administration has ordered
that all use of fuel except by consum-
ers classed as absolutely necessary
shall be prohibited on Monday of each
week from January 2Sth to March 18th
that is. on January 2Sth. February
4th. 11th. 18th. 25th. and March 4th.
18th. 18th and 25th.
The order under which these re
stricticns are made is designed to dis
tribute with absolute impartiality the
burden of patriotic denial. All classes
Of business are treated alike.
Except on the DAYS covered in the
order. the normal supply of coal to all
consumers will be maintained. the
necessary consumers designated in
the order are given preference and
priority in the delivery and use of coal
AZ all times as well as on the days
when other use of coal is prohibited
The United states fuel administra-
ton counts upon the complete patriot
ic cooperation o. every Individual firm
and corporation affected by the order
