Washington, January 17.-(Special) Telegrams from every section of the country protesting against the period of worlSless and coalless days established by II. A. Garfield, fuel administrator, day. Members of the Alabama delega- ton were surprised that Garfield had is- sued the order, and were, in the main, apprehensive lest it was the product of hysteria. and would result in incalculable hardship. They were hesitant, however. in giving public expression to their views. Senator Bankhead requested that he be not questioned, inasmuch as he was not the father of the move. Representa- tive Dent simply shook his head Rep rescntative Burnett contented himself with brief expression to the effect that it was mighty sweeping
 Judging from lack of protests from Ala that state are prepared to do their part and await developments.
 Additional complaints received from Alabama tonight indicated waking de- sire on the part of every one to know just how his business will be affected.
 The Birmingham Hotel association wired that larndries must operate. as ho- tels and hospitals could not run five days without clean linen.
 The Woodward Iron company repre- sented that if it's coke oven fires were permitted to die it would require more than five days to get them burning again.
 Senator Underwood regards it as pos sible that exceptions in the Garfield or der will cover both the preceding cases.
 J. w. Frost Of Athens protested against the closing down of his cotton mill. His representation that his plant is engaged almost exclusively on government work will probably be disregarded as the gov ernment has made no exception even in favor of it's munition plants.

NEGOTIATIONS ID SETTLE ALABAMA
 MINE FIGHT HALTED
No Further Conferences Will Be Held in Washing ton Until Operators
 Arrive
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 17.-(Special) Negotiation between the federal fuel ad- mnistrator and Alabama Coal Operators association, having for it's object an agreement to the end that strife between employer and employe in the coal fields might be terminated have been halted, pending the arrival in Washington next week of industrial leaders of Birming- ham.
 GARY TO CONFER
 It is understood that John H. Bank head, Jr., now here, will be joined by George E. Mccormack, president of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company. and George Gordon Crawford, president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company. It is learned, too, that Judge F. H. Gary, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the United States Steel cor poration, has been invited to participate ir the conferences.
 The entry into the negotiations or manufacturers of pig iron and steel IS regarded as significant. It is known that the operators entertain the view that unequivocal acceptance of the Garfield terms would be tantamount to a tenta- tive recognition of the union. It is known that the United States Steel has taken unalterable position against such recog- milton.
 COAL BASIS CHANGED
 Orders issued today by the fuel admin istration changes the basis of the Mount Carmel mines from Black Creek to Jag ger-Jefferson classification, with atten- dant reduction in price of about 90 cents per ton. The petition of George Peter, producer of Montevallo coal for in- creased selling price was granted. Sim liar petitions from other operators were denied on the ground that they alone of several companies operating identical seams had entered petitions.
 This ruling is interpreted to mean that one operator, coming with complaint, must bring all his associates laboring under identical conditions

 Many senators insisted that the fuel administration was exceeding it's authority and that it could not prevent an owner of fuel from using stores in his possession. Fuel administration of ficials, however, pointed to provisions of the act imposing heavy penalties on anyone who violates regulations Presi- dent Wilson may prescribe under the act.
 Although first interpretations of the order indicated that it's provisions would not apply to the use of wood, oil, gas and other forms of fuel. tonight it was declared that all fuel of every descrip- ton was intended Production of fuel will not be nterfered with in any way.
 In a lengthy statement issued tonishti justifying his action, Dr. Garfield de- clared that the chief consideration prompting it was the necessity for nov ing American troops abroad and fur nishing the allies with food and sup plies.
 The country, he said, is suffering from oyerproduction and can well suspend manufacturing enterprises for short time.
 War munitions and food 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 bunkeres are empty of coal
