COLD WEATHER AND SNOW
SLoWS COAL DELIVERIES
Railways In Storm Belt Unable To
Speed Up On Account of
Conditions.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Deliveries
of coal for the next few days will be
small through the entire storm
swept section Of the country and
probably elsewhere, railroad officials
declared. after receiving reports of
continuing cold weather and snow.
Lines to larger coal mines have been
opened by snow plows. but the way
is still blocked to scores Of small
ones. 1t is understood that the fuel
restriction order was prompted partly
by anticipation of this curtailed coal
delivery. However, Director General
McAdco said the railroads would
cooperate in carrying out the Fuel
administrators order, by moving
coal to localities roeding it most.

CRITICIZE But SUPPORT PLAN
NATIONS BUSINESS MEN TO
CARRY OUT ORDER. ~
u. s. Chamber Of Commerce Corr
mittee Sees Lack Of Govern
ment Planning.

Washington, Jan. 18.-After a con.
ference with Fuel Administrator
Garfield, the War Service Executive
committee of the Chamber Of Com.
merce Of the United States issued a
statement criticising the fuel re-
striction order, but announcing that
since It had been issued, 1T Is
clearly the duty Of business men to do
all in their power to carry out Its
purpose"
This sudden and extraordinary
action says the statement, I'm the
opinion of your committee, Is but
an illustration of the hurried deci.
sicns which must be expected when
there is lacking some machinery for
central planning and control over
the separated war activities of the
government for which business men
of the country have declared and in
behalf of which your committee ap-
peared before the Senate committee
on military affairs on yerterday."
Protest From Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 18.-Chicago business
men are considering an appeal to
the courts today to prevent the en-.
forcement of the fuel conservation
order on the grounds that a literal
compliance with it's provisions would
mean ruin for many manufacturers.

WORKERS OF NATION THE
GREATEST SUFFERERS
Gompers Says They Will Feel e.
fects Of GarfieId's
Order Mosa

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, in statement, de-
clared that the workers Of the ma
ton will be the greatest sufferers
from the fuel restriction order, but
that they will maintain their loyal
stand despite their suffering and the
sacrifices which they may be called
upon to bear"
Mr.. Gompers expressed doubt that
a five-day suspension Of industry
was the best way to meet the situa.
ton and suggested that a wiser
and more practical course" would
have been to place all industries of
the country upon an eight-hour basis
work day at. least during the war.
Mr.. Gompers said that everything
must be done to see that the work
ers were not made to suffer unneces-
sarily and lie expressed the hope
that the employers would heed Fuel
Administrator Garf1eld's appeal to
comply with the order without shift
ing the burden to labor"

BIGAMY IN GERMANY IS
CONDONED BY OFFICIALS
Statement Made BY Teuton Journal
Which Cry Alarm At
Situation,

Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. 49,
Several South German newspapers
received here cry alarm over the in
crease Of bigamy in Germany in 1917.
They say the many acquittals, and
the lenient sentences imposed indi
cate that the authorities are condon-
ing the offense.
Among excuses pleaded by the men
accused are loss of memory because
of shell shock; departure of the wife
without leaving an address. and in
fidelity on the part of a wife.
Some have gone so far as to de.
clare boldly that plural marriages
are good for the nations future. A
corporal told municipal court that
he got married every time he obtain
ed leave from the trenches, and be.
lieved ie had five wives.

Worker.

San Francisco, Jan. 18.-A bomb, ad-
dressed to Governor William d. Steph-
ems mansion at Sacramento, was in
tercepted at the Ferry postoffice here.
The package contained several
sticks of dynamite and suspicion was
attracted to it first, 1t was said, by
the fact that 1t carried insufficient
postage. The executive mansion was
damaged December II last by an ex-
plosion of dynamite.
A police investigation resulted In
the arrest of 55 alleged members Of
the I. w. w., who are being held.

FOE REFUSES TO WITHDRAW
TEuToNs TELL sLAvs CAN NOT
QUIT OCCUPIED TERRITORIES
Move impossible While War Lasts
As Aims Are Too Divergent,
Enemy Says.

Berlin, Jan. Withdrawal
Of Austrian and German troops
from occupied territories while
the war lasts Is impossible, the
Teuton statement says in reply
to Russian proposals at the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference.
Berlin, Jan. 1S.-An official state
ment issued here giving the reply
by the Teuton powers to the Russian
proposals at Brest-Litovsk says the
Russian. proposals concerning the
regions occupied by tie Teuton
powers diverge to such a degree
from the view of the Teuton powers
in their present form they are not
acceptable.
Aims Too Divergent
Tie statement says the Russian
proposals to not show a compromis-
ing attitude and do not consider the
opposite parties on just basis. The
Teuton powers again are prepared
to give formulated expression of their
opinions and to try to find basis
for compromise.
For the Teuton powers, as distinct
from the case with Russia, the an
nouncement adds, a conclusion Of
peace with Russia has no connection
with general peace and the Teuton
powers are compelled to continue the
war against tieir other enemies.
The assertion that the right Of self
determination Is an attribute of ma
tions and not Of parts of nations is
not our conception of self-determina,
ton, the official statement declares.
1t must not be assumed that the
limits Of occupation are 4 standard
for, fixing the boundaries of such por.
tiols.
The Austro-G the statement
declares, do no. intend Incorporating
the territories how occupied by them
into their respective countries.

STOP At MIDNIGHT
ADMINISTRATION ACTION TAKEN
IN TEETH OF SENATE CALL
DEMANDING PosPoNEMENT.
PLEA FOR DELAY SPURNED
Garfield Signs Fuel curtaiIment Order
And Drastic Step Goes Into Effect
With Backing of President.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-At midnight
all industrial plants east of the Mis-
sissippi and in the states of Mime
sofa and Louisiana, excepting AZ
specified plants engaged in vital
war work, were under order to close
down and remain closed until Tues
day at midnight. .. .. .
The Garfield curtailment order,
more drastic than anything the gov
eminent has ever issued since Am
erica entered the war, was officially
signed at 6 o'clock.
1t was issued in the teeth of a
resolution passed a few moments
before by the Senate, demanding a
postponement. Fifty out of the 50
senators voting in it favored its
passage. Nineteen voted in the neg
.ative.
At the same time Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield, backed to the limit
by President Wilson, issued state
ment defending the action and ex-
planning that it resulted, not so
much from a shortage of coal, as
from the almost hopeless congestion
of the railroads.
Direct Effect Of Order
1t is estimated that between 5,000,.
900 and 100000 workers, earning
between $15,000,000 and $20,000,0O0
a day in wages, would be affected.
Both Garfield and President Sam.
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, appealed
to the employers not to curtail the
wages Of these men, but to pay them
over the period of the inactivity. 81,
A total loss of between $1,500, ,000,-
900 and $1,75O,0OO,OOo in wages and
production values combined was
predicted in the debate in tie Sell
ate.
Fear that I. w. w. agitators and
pro-German propagandists may seize
the opportunity to stir up labor
troubles caused the Department Of
Justice to take precautionary steps.
Enforcement of the order will be
undertaken through the 5000 state
and county fuel administrators scat
tered through the area involved.
Seldom has Washington seen day
of more stirring activity. An aston
ished CONGRESS paid little attention
to any other subject during the day,
and officials generally, few of whom
had known the order was imminent,
talked Of little else.
Garfield Makes Statement.
In a lengthy statement. justifying
his action, DR.. Garfield declared that
the chief consideration prompting it
was the necessity for providing fuel
for ships to carry food supplies
abroad for American troops and the
Allies. "The country" he said, "is
suffering from over-production and
can we'll suspend manufacturing en-
terprisee for short time.
"War munitions, food, manufac-
tured products OF every description
lie at our Atlantic ports in tens Of
thousands OF, tons, while literally
hundreds of ships waiting loaded
with war goods for our men and the
Allies cannot take the seas because
their bunhers are empty Of coal.
"This is war. Whatever the cost
we must pay it, so that in face of
the enemy there can never be the re.
proach that we held back from doing
our full share. Ships laden with
our supplies of food for men and
food for guns must have Goa, and put
to sea"

That's one reason Akron never
