 At the termination of the hearing, the committee decided to make no for nal report, but Chairman Reed made speech in the senate declaring Dr. Garfield had not satisfied him of the necessity for such drastic action. The line of questions asked by other mem bers of the committee indicated that they, too, took the same view.
 Dr. Garfield declared the order was made imperative because of the fuel and transportation crises. If coal were not cut off to all industries for per iod many of them, he said, would be forced to close anyhow and the gov ernment in closing everything intended to treat all alike.
 | Members of the committee criticized severely the closing of industries which have coal stores on hand and declared that the order if made effective would cost the country a billion dollars in wages and production.

APPEALS TO WOMEN NOT
TO PURCHASE HUN GOODS

NEW YORK. oct. 27.-An appeal
TO the women of America to refuse
to buy goods made In Germany,
whether so marked or not" and
particularly to prevent tho sale in
this country OF a recent large i'm
portation Of German manufactured
toys and china. was issued last night
by Elizabeth Marbury president Of
the women's national committee of
:he American Defense society.
The action followed a vigorous pro-
test by the New York city Fedora
ton OF WomCn's Clubs against sale
OF the German toys. one member
suggested n twentieth century "Bos-
ton tea party" to heave the offend
ing goods overheard from the ship
which brought them across the At
lantic.
Part Of the German articles, which
had been held at Rotterdam, owing
to war conditions. were abandoned
to customs officials today by the
consignee, an importing firm which
bought and paid for them in the
spring OF 1914, declaring that Ameri-
can manufacturers had taken the
Germans place in the toy and china
market, they declined 10 assist Ger
man propaganda designed to rein
troduce its products into America
Miss Marbury's statement declared
that German militarism is but the
tool OF German economic world
domination" and the only way to re-
taliate for German savagry rs for
the women OF America to refuse to
have anything to do with the prod
ucts OF the German empire.
