New Restrictive
Orders to Come,
Is Hint of Garfield
May Be More Drastic, He
lntimates TO Editor of
Coal Age'

Floyd w. Parsons, editor of "The
Coal Age" who talked with Federal
Fuel Administrator Garfield on Monday
and returned here last night, told The
Tribune that Dr.. Garfield informed him
that the five e-day closing order might
not fully relieve the situation and that
similar conservation measures would.
in all probability, be necessary from
time to time.
DR.. Garfield intimated, according to
Mr.. Parsons, that future industry
closing orders might contain proviso
calling for cessation of all passen-
ger traffic on the railroads in the af-
fected area. Furthermore, the Federal
Fuel Administrator is contemplating
taking over large private coaling piers
along the Atlantic seaboard, Mr.. Par
sons added.
81 also talked with Secretary of the
Interior Lane while | was at the cap
ital," continued Mr.. Parsons "He was
OF the opinion that it might be neces-
sary for us to follow the plan of the
Germans, who, at frequent intervals,
close down not only industries, but
suspend all passenger traffic on the
railroads during periods in which
troop movements are in progress.
Il went to Washington" said Mr..
fields fuel mandate. returned sat
ished that he had taken the only wise
course.
"I do not believe in shutting down
all non-essential INDUSTRIES Dr.. Gar
field said. You cannot close down
many of the so-called non-essenta,
business without tapping the veins of
some most essential industries. TIE
exemptions which followed my orig
inal order were not afterthoughts:
They We're planned days ahead and
each industry exempted was listed at
the suggestion of the Secretary Of
War and the Secretary of the Navy.
"'That order simply had to come.
The necessity for it existed since Nc
vember 26, when l failed to get
through priority ruling for the ship
ment of coal. I told the President
that his automobile lad the right OF

Fords blocked the way his car couldn't

AOu doh WHY We SOulult Hd'c pei
mitted industry to continue at it's nor

there is an insufficient number of loco
motives to increase greatly the ton

siderable time for our available motive
power to get these cars back to the
mines and mills.

try advance notice of the closing order
If we had done so the railroads would
have been flooded with freight and the
remedial effects of the order would
have been nulliied. If industries had

Dennean Says He Aduised
Wooden Ships as Best Way
To Get Additional TONNAGE

WASHINGTON, Jan. William
Denman, former hartman Of the Ship
ping Board told the Senate Commerce
Committee to-day that his position re-
garding wooden ships had been misrep-
resented to the public. He declared the
press had "overplayed our hand in the
matter of wooden ships" and said the
impression that the board was dev oted d
to wooden shipbuiding policy only
had done more to harm ship extension
IN this country than anything else
Mr.. Denman denied that the row be-
tween himself and Major General Goe-
th&ls had prevented the communicating
of fifteen vessels built in this country
for foreign account, but said that delay
by Congress in enacting necessary leg
lsIation prevented the taking over Of
eighteen such vessels
"fhe public had the opinion that we
were trying to build up wooden ships
and run down the value of steel ves-
sells" MIR. Denman said. The real situ-
alton was that he wanted additional
tonnage, he added, and thought wooden
ships the best way TO get it.
Mr.. Denman appeared before the COM
mlttee at his own request. He said the
purpose of the board when organized
was to speed up shipbuilding in this
Souutiy, anu WIS COulQ pest nave been
done by the building Of wooden ships.
Mr.. Denman said the board found that
a majority of the shipyards on the At
lantic Coast were unwilling to take con-
tracts for steel vessels from the govern
ment because of pending contracts and
scarcity of labor. They also showed q
Discrimination to expand their plants to
meet increased business unless the
Shipping Board was given greater pow
ers.
Regarding his controversy with Cen
eral Goethals, he said that with the ex
ception of the last day they met there
never was any personal feeling between
them

the Shipping Board will not be pressed
until the Senate investigation has been
completed, if at all. After a conference

Plight of City Worse

Less Fuel Received Yesterday Than on Monday,
"The Worst Day Yet"-"Get Coal to New York;
Garfield Is Wired-Laborers Quit at Terminals

Final results of the Garfield five-ds y
which ended yesterday. were indicated
last night in this telegram which was
sent to Washington by Albert II. Wig
gin, State Fuel Administrator:
what we want is coal. 1t is not
coming. Use any method you please
but get coal to New York"
"Any benefits that may have accrued
from the five-day shutdown were offset
by the weather." said Mr.. Wiggin, after
!e had gone over the situation with as
Sistants and advisers in the fuel admin
istrAtion and with harhor and railroad
transportation experts.
Shutdown Fails to Help
His canvass, which preceded the dis.
patch of the message to DR.. Garfield,
revealed that, apart from the millions
IN lost wages and production, the city
was in worse shape at the end of the
period of industrial paralysis last night
than when it opened the shut down last
Friday.

on Monday, which had been character
lied as "the worst day vet" Reeve
Schley. County Administrator, said re-
celpts were hardly more than $4,000

The freight blockade in the New Jer-
