New York, January 16.-Fuel ad- ministrators in New York tonight ap- piled voluntary censorship to their comment on Administrator Garfield s drastic order for the conservation Of until they had an opportunity to di- gest the new regulations, which came as a complete surprise to them. It was the consensus of opinion, how ever, that for the next week they would be the busiest men in New York.
 BUSINESS HOWLS
 Business men were not so reticent and it was easily gathered from their remarks that they dS not look with favor upon the order. Most of them, especially newspaper publishers, ex- pressed more or less confusion as to just what it meant.
 A delegation of theatrical men an- nounced that they would go to Wash ington tonight and appeal to the ad- ministration to permit them to keep open Mondays but close Tuesdays. It was explained by them that the psy- chological effect upon the public of having holiday Monday and no place to go except home would be demor- alizing upon the New York public.
 EXCHANGE NOT TO CLOSE
 The president of the stock exchange said the exchange would remain open if the traders on the floor and the employees had to wear overcoats. Brokers took the same position.
 E. H. Outerbridge, president of the chamber of Commerce of the state of New York, said pr. Garfelds order seems to give great encoura cement to the enemy, great discourag cement to our allies and great interruption to the war preparations of this nation.
 Tt seems to me that the programme of a suspension of industries is de- structive rather than a constructive programme" he declared. Tt seems that the most drastic efforts should be made to increase the production of fuel rather than to have to curtail production of the necessities for lack of fuel"
 PUBLISHERS PROTEST The following telegram was sent to President Wilson tonight by the pub fishers of the World, Herald, Evening Post and Brooklyn Eagle:

 Industrial Plants Ordered

 manufacture goods vitally needed by the
 government or by the public Most of
 the industries manufacturing war goods are said to have on hand more manufac- tured supplies waiting railroad and ocean transportation than have the non-
 essentials. Suspension of few industries is expected to interfere with deliveries if the railroads can move the goods in their present congested state.
 FORESEE DISTORTION OF
 FACTS BY THE GERMANS
 Officials tonight foresaw that the German government might distort and make much of the order to improve the morale of the German people, but they
 said this danger was negligible when compared with that of permitting the fuel situation to continue unimproved. The order was issued under authority conferred in the Lever food act, which provides a fine of $500o or Imprisonment for violation of it's provisions and warn- ings that it would be strictly enforced. To prevent industrial unrest. 1t was said tonight the government might make a formal request on industries affected by the order to pay their employees dur ing the time they are idle.

 The critical coal situation is blamed on the unusually severe weather of the last week. which has made it impossible in many instances to move coal at all. and which has cut off the fuel supplies of vbnia cities

 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 dis tricts shut down will be directed in sup plementary order to send their output elsewhere. Coal loaded and on it's way to these industries will be diverted.
 It was estimated tonight the enforce ment of the order would save a total of 30,000,000 tons of bituminous coal. which probably is about half the present short age. The indications were that at the end of the 10 weeks of Mondays holi- days a permanent policy of restricted consumption would have been deter mined on This plan will limit the use of coal to the less essential industries under self-rationing basis.
