Announcement Of the provisions OF
the order was made by Fuel Admins
trator Garfield after a White House
conference which was attended also
by Secretaries Baker Snd Daniels
Earlier IN the day Dr. Garfield had
sought the views Of other officials and
it was said tonight the unanimous
opinion was that the measure contem-
plated was necessary under the cir
cumstRnces
First Pan Changed
As first drawn and as approved at
the White House, the order called for
he closing OF factories beginning to-
morrow morning. This was changed
which would result when millions CT
workers went to their duties unaware
Of the governments step
Inclusion OF war industries among
those 10 which fuel will be denied
caused some surprise but fuel Off
ciaIs explained tonight that war plants
have been producing so much more
material than the transportation sys-
tens can handle that no serious ef-
fects will be felt War supplies man
ufactured for export have moved to
seabosrd faster than ships can move
them
Exception Made
An exception is made in the case Of
shipbuilding plants because Of the
great need fer vessels TO move sup
plies now ready for shipment overseas

way to these industries viii be divert

Il was estimated tonight the enforce
ment Of the order would save a total
Of thirty million tons Of bituminOus
coal which probably is about half OF
the shortage.
Permanent Policy Expected
The indications were that at the end
of the ten weeks Of Monday holidays
a permanent policy Of restricted con-
sumption would have been determined
on. This plan will limit the use Of coal
to the less essential industries under
a self-ratiOning basis.

SUCCESSOR TO
WILLARD FOR
BOARDS HEAD
UNANNl)UNCED
Intimated in Washington Tha.
Vacancy May Await the
Disposition of Proposed
Legislation in Congress.

WAS aINGTON. Jan. l6.-With the
announcement today Of the resignation
Of Daniel Willard as chairman OF tha
war industries board, il was intimated
that there would be no appointment
OF a new chairman pending action in
congress on proposals FOR the creation
cf war supply department CT admin
istraUion that would take over the
work OF the industries board as wel
as that OF bureaus Cf the war and navy
Departments
The task OF perfecting the proposed
Hesitation was undertaken today BY
the senate military committee which
temporarily suspended its investiga-
tion of war preparation for the pur-
pose.
Daily meetings of the committee will
be held until a bill for one man con-
trcI Of munitions and supplies is ready
for presentation
willard Too Busy
Mr.. Willard's request to be relieved
was sent to the president in a letter
dated January llth. in which he said
government operation Of the railroads
had raised 50 many unforeseen and in
tricate difficulties that il seemed clear
that he should devote all his time 10
the affairs OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. of which he is president. He
added that he was confident there
were others better qualified than he
for the position.
Mr.. Willard. during his recent testi'
mony before the senate committee,
strongly advocated One-man control ol
munitions and expressed the opinion
that Secretary Bakers new reorgani-
zation plan was faulty in that il did
not concentrate control and relied to
an extent upon voluntary effort,
Supply Dictator
The position of President Wilson
and Secretary Baker toward the plan
on which the senate committee now
virtually is agreed. TO create a supply
director with broad powers but not q
member Of the cabinet. has not been
disclosed. Both the president and the
secretary oppose making 4 new eabi-
net officer. but in soms. quarters tee
belief is expressed that they will not
seek TO block legislation with this
feature eliminated.
As tentatively drafted the legislation
would provide for director of wal
industries~-an individual directly un
der the president without cabinet mem
hership but with sweeping authority
to coordinate war industry and all
phases Of war supplies.

ATTITUDE Of
GERMANS IN
PEACE TALKS
UNCHANGED.
No Definite Word Received
as to Progress of Peace
Negotiations at Brest-Lit-
ovsk. Position on Ar
menia.

LONDON. Jan. lS.-There was no
definite word either from Berlin or
Petrograd today throwing new light on
the crisis in Berlin as affecting the
Brest-Litovsk peace negotiations and
teh statement of Baron Dem Busch
Hadden-hauSen. under secretary for
foreign affairs. that no fresh instruc-
tions haev been sent To the German
secretary of foreign affairs. DR.. Rich
ard Won Nuelhmann. would seem 10 in
dicate that there is no intention of IT,
ceding from the German attitude OF
refusing To evacuate any territory oc-
eupied in Russia
Some of the German papers an
nOunce that negotiations have been re-
sumed. but there is no confirmation.
The press organs OF both political
groups in Germany claim victory in
the Won observation-disclosures
controversy. from which il may be as
samed tina, no important change OF
policy has been issued as u result OF
the crown councils.
Rumor Untrue.
There appears TO have bee no truth
in the TumOr that the imperial German
chancellor. Count Won Hertling. was
in. The chancellor is in his usual
health and ii is understood VIII ad-
dress the reichstag on Friday. which
is the day the constituent assembly is
to meet at Petrograd.
Il is regarded spOsSible that Leon
Trotzky. the BOlsheviki foreign min
lister may not appear again as head OF
the Russian delegation at BreSt- Lit
ovsk. In any case. the negotiations
are expected 10 mark time. pending
the outcome OF the meeting OF the con-
stituent assembly.

toward clearing chOked and cOngested
railroad tracks and terminals Ii was
regarded as likely that Secretary Nc
Ndoo. director general of railroads.
might declare a rail embargo against
the shipment of the products of plants
closed down if necessary further to
relieve the roads.
Weather Blamed
The critical coal situation is blamed
on unusually severe weather of the
last week, which has made il impossi-
Bile in many instances to move coal at
all and which has cut off the fuel sup
plies Of whole cities.
Officials who worked out the cur
tailment plan came to the conclusion
they said tonight, that homes must
be kept warm at all costs Reports
have poured into the fuel administra-
tions offices for days telling of in
tense suffering in many parts Of the
country Some of the largest cities
of the east have run so short OF fuel
already that local fuel officials have
stopped industrial activity to provide
homes with coal.
Exceptions Made
Besides shipyards and factories pro-
ducing fOOdstuffs the few exceptions
TO the general rule fOrbidding the use
of coal in the periods specified are
plants which must be continuously
operated TO prevent injury 10 the
plants themselves, newspaper plants
and printing establishments which
publish current and periodical maya
zines.
On the Monday holidays besides
manufacturing plants the following
consumers will be forbidden TO use
coal:

used for government offices. or banks
and trust companies and those housing
physicians and dentists; wholesale
and retail stores with exceptions for

the bank and trust company buildings
if they think necessary.
On these holidays, subway. surface.

the shortage Of machinists and other
skilled railroad workers in the east.
the railroad administration today took
steps looking TO moving a number Of
these men from western railroads for
a few weeks until the overburdened
eastern lines can make delayed re-
pairs to locomotives and freight cars.
A. II. Smith. assistant TO Director
General McAdoo. in charge of trans
portation in the east. was asked TO
report on the number of mechanics
needed BY eastern roads. while several
executives Of western roads started a
survey to ascertain how many men
, they could spare. The results OF these
inquiries viii be presented to Mr.. Nc
AdOo. Meanwhile, some eastern roads
already have asked the less burdened
western and southern lines to furnish
them with machinis;s and car repair
ers. Efforts viii be made TO transfer
only those men willing 20 make tho
change.
Need Emphasized
The need of additional labor at
, nearly all railroad centers in the east
was emphasized in reports Of cOngest-
ed transportation conditions to the di-
rector general from Interstate Com
merce Commissioner MeChord. Lo-
comotives badly needed TO move
freight were tied up for need Of re-
pairs.
Railroads plan to take advantage OF
the shutdown of industries the next
five days by order of Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield to hire idle mechanics
and other workmen for railroad work.
/ This will be left to each local railway
executive.
Railroad officials are expected to

in order to hasten delivery OF coal and
other commodities to more needy in
terests.
