NO AUTHORITY TO
SUSPEND BUSINESS
ORDER OF FUEL ADMINISTRA-
TON HAS BEEN GREATLY
MODIFIED.

Following universal dissatisfaction
of people engaged in all kinds of bus
mess, the "fueIless Monday" order of
the federal and state coal admins
tration, which resulted in the closing
down Monday of thousands of Geor-
gia factories operated by hydroelec-
trio power, the stopping of business
in tens of thousands of cigar stores,
soda fountains, general stores and
other business houses, has been modi-
fed.
Without Legal Power.
In a telegram to the Macon Tele-
graph Senator Smith said: "Fuel ad-
ministration official informs me that
it has no legal power to require
stores using no fuel to close on Mon
days"
The fuel administration at Wash
ington says: "Fuel order forbids use
of fuel to heat stores to sell mer-
chandise on Mondays except for sale
of food and drugs. Earnestly re-
quest, however, that all stores close
even if no fuel is used to conform to
the spirit of national fuel admins
TONS ruling"
DR.. Hardman, the state fuel ad-
ministrator, says: "No violation of
law if stores remain open without
using fuel, but spirit of order con-
templates closing all stores, except
food and drug stores. Food stores
may use fuel until IL o'clock. Re-
ceiving departments of business es-
adjustments are exempt from order
of January II, to the extent that
they may use sufficient fuel for pow
err, light and heat, as may be nee
essary to receive freight"
Nothing had occurred since the
beginning of the war that caused as
much general dissatisfaction as the
closing of all places of business all
day. In some places restaurants were
closed, being afraid to remain open.

The last day of the year brings a
hopeful auEurv for the future and

than any that will come for four
decades, when there may be again an
upheaval that brings world changes.
Warning is given that there may
be a seeming restriction of business

this will not be serious and will SIM
ply prepare for great stimulation in
industry.

of carrying on old occupations will
mark 1919.
Education which will focus atten-
ton will b. brought TO all according

MORE CLERKS NEEDED
FOR NAVY YARD WORK
Fears of Dismissal Because of
Wars End Declared GroundIess.

Employees of the Navy Yard need
not fear immediate dismissal despite
the passing of the war crisis, officials
of the yard said last night.
II is believed that the greater part
OF the Navy Yard work will continue
Tor an indefinite period and that not
only will the present employees be re-
tained, but still more will be needed
IN the near future. Especially is this
true of laborers in all divisions of the
yard. and various branches of the
service.
II was stated last night that since
the arnistice had been signed more
than twenty employees. mostly mechan-
ics and machinists, had resigned each
day. returning 10 positions they held
In pre-war days. In all about 800
such employees have left the Navy
Yard, in some cases creating a seri-
