Formal Order Signed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
While storm of protest ragged at
the capitol and among business inter
ests throughout the nation, Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield last night signed
the order in preparation since the
previous day, closing down manufac-
turing plants east of the Mississippi
river for five days beginning at mid
night last night and stopping virtually
all business activity on every Monday
for a period of ten weeks beginning
January 81.
With the full support of President
Wilson, the fuel administrator at
tached his signature to the mandate
as the senate was preparing to vote on
a resolution, which it passed twenty
minutes later, requesting him to post
pone action for five days.
DR.. Garfield would not comment on
the senate action, but it was stated
at the fuel administration that the
resolution would have no effect upon

Few Industries Exempted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-
A supplementary list, adding to the
number of industries exempted from
the fuel restriction order is in course
of preparation today. Most Of the
plants to be included in the list must
be notified before they can continue
in operation as usual, and it appears
doubtful whether the list will be
made public
This course may be decided upon
because of fears that the fuel admin
istration would be swamped with re-
quests for exemption from other in
dustries. Some of those already no
.ified they have been exempted from
the provisions of the order are steel
mills producing ship plates, woolen
mills making army and navy clthing
and certain domestic utilities.

CHURCHES To
CLOSE DURING
COAL FAMINE
PASTORS HOLD MEETING THIS Az.
TERNOON TO DECIDE ON UNION
SERVICES AT III CENTRALLY
LOCATED CHURCH.

This afternoon at o'clock there
will be meeting of pastors of Protest
ant churches of Americus, at which
plans will be laid whereby these
churches hope to assist in solving the
acute fuel problem now faced by the
nation. 1t is planned by the ministers
to perfect an arrangement under
which in future only one service will
be held in Americus' churches on
Sunday evenings, until the fuel situa-
ton is materially improved, and 1t is
very probable such plan will be
adopted.
Lee Allen, fuel administrator OF
Sumter county, was consulted this af-
ternoon by committee, composed OF
Rev. A. D. Kendrick and Rev. George
F. Brown, and he has heartily en-
dorsed the proposal to restrict Sunday
evening services to one church during
the fuel scarcity 1t is the desire of
the pastors to inconvenience their
congregations as little as possible,
and because of the location of Lee
Street Methodist church, some distance
out on the southside, it is probable g
service will be held there each Sunday
evening in addition to the one union
service to be held, if present plans
are perfected, in one of the more cen-
trally located churches.
The meeting this afternoon is be-
ing held in the study of Rev. A. d.
Kendrick of First Baptist church,
and announcement of the action taken
will be made in Sundays issue of The
TmesRecorder. The course of action
indicated has been suggested by num-
erous citizens since the beginning of
the fuel scarcity here and its adoption
probably would give general satisfac-
tion to Americus church-goers.
Mr.. Allen Endorses Idea.
Editor Times-Recorder, Americus, Ga.
Dear Sir: viii you kindly permit
ME through the columns of your pa
per, to commend the action taken by
the pastors of our city, agreeing to
hold union services on Sunday nights
and prayer meeting nights in their eff
forts to conserve the fuel situation.
The fuel administration has not taken
any steps to close churches or places
Of religious worship, and the getting
together of our pastors in their efforts
to save fuel is entirely voluntary on
their part, and for that reason is all
the more appreciated. Your very truly

of householders and relieve suffering
caused through lack of coal, the pub

community being cared for alike with
the needs of domestic consumers. All

yss." Particularly in the senate, and
when it became apparent that the or
der was going into effect in spite of
the senates request, plans were laid
for submitting an appeal directly to
President Wilson.
Issuance of the order was a greae
discourtesy to the senate" said Sen

ton adopted, "but do not see how
congress can now act to suspend their
operation. | hardly see what further
step can be taken by congress, except
by appeal to the president"
