Head of German
Rubber Smugglers
Is Sought Here

\ German agent, head of a gigantic
scheme to smugglc dental rubber from
this country into Germany, where it is
used in the manufacture Of gas masks,
is being sought here by Federal au-
thortics. Disclosures made yesterday
by Frederick Borreson, Hans Hansen
and Valdemar Knutsen, seamen of the
liner Hellig Olav, who were arrested
with quantity of rubber in their pos
session. have put the government in
vcstigators on the mans trail.
The three sailors were arraigned yes
terday before United States Commis-
sioner Hitchcock and held on charge
OF violation Of the espionage act. They
admitted that they had purchased the
rubber in John Street, with the inten-
tion of secrctng ii aboard the Hellig
Olav and selling it when that vessel
docked in a Danish port.
Rubber smuggling TO Germany has
been going on so steadily, although in
small quantities. that the Federal au-
thorltles are planning more drastic ac-
tion to meet the situation.
According to members Of the bomb
squad, who have been investigating the
scheme, sailors on shore here are an
preached by q German agent masuue-
rading as q Swedish subject, and are
urged to buy rubber here and sell it in
Sweden at q profit. If the sailor man
falls in with the idea the German agent
tells him where he can purchase it:
where he can unload it on the other
side and how he can secrete it aboard
ship so that the British investigators
ut Halifax won't be able to find it.

Movement Of Freight

As a chief purpose of the coal shut

wherever the use OF fuel is necessary
to assist in moving freight such use
is exempt from tho order In accord

SO Idle Ships Here
To Get Coal Held
From Industries
Steamship Companies Will
Benefit Greatly From
New Decree

Taking the decree of DR.. Garfield on
its face value, the big shipping inter-
ests of this city were joited hard yes
terday forenoon, and for a time it
looked as if the steamship companies
were going to rise up in defiance of the
order
Telephones, stenographers and mes
sengers were kept busy transmitting
queries and information relative to the
closing Of the big downtown buildings
where the steamship offices are housed.
Every enterprise that had to do with
water transportation was aroused, but
before the day was half over assur-
ances came from Albert II. Wiggin,
State Fuel Administrator, that the
pulse of the water transportation COM
pany would beat normally, and the To-
cal shipping world settled back again
to business.
The heads of the big steamship lines
soon realized that the fuel embargo
would divert coal from industrial fur
naces to the bunkers of their ships
which have lain idle in this port for
weeks through lack of fuel.
"Business as Usual
The closing of buildings then became
a secondary consideration and in the
afternoon practically all the lines an
nounced that they would do business
by candle light and in overcoats if
necessary.
The Cunard, Anchor White Star,
American, Atlantic Transport, French.
and Lamport and Holt Lines announced
that they would do business to-day as
usual.
This sweeping order of Mr. Car
field" said prominent steamship man.
while hard on the manufacturer. will
most likely be a boon to the steam
ship companies. The coal shortage has
held back our ships from eighteen to
twenty-five days. From Staten Island
to 4onkers there are many manu-
featuring plants that have been burn
ing bitumlnous coal, despite the ordi-
nances against its use. The suspension
of activity of these plants for five days
Will make available for steamship
bunkers about 120, 900 tons of soft coal
that otherwise we would not be able
to get. This supply ought to release
more than sixty steamships that have
weeks"
England to Send Coal Here
According to officers and passengers
OF British liner that arrived here YES
terday, the seriousness of the coal
shortage on the Atlantic seaboard had
been expected in England two months
ago.
THE Garfield order is no SURPRISE -
said one of the Ulcers "Thev had some
reliable information in England that
something drastic would have to be
done here end t. scheme is now under
way to send coal over to this country
in the holds Of ships that ordinarily
would come in ballast. They can't
really spare coal abroad, but rather
than have their ships tied up on this
side of the Atlantic, the government
has begun to draw upon the mines in
Wales for shipment here. Before we
left, several ships were laden with coal
at Cardiff and sent here to help out
the British and French merchantmen
that have been unable to get coal

Miss Lillian D. Wald, head Of the
Henry Street Settlement, said: II do

it is causing the utmost apprehension

ers will refuse TO pay their workers

that they remain idle 1t seems to me
that the government should recon-
pcnse these poor"
John Mitchell, chairman of the Fed
oral Food Board, said that the Gar
field order would without doubt allie
vlatc the food shortage by easing the
strain on the railways, but added that
TIE poor people would suffer for it.
Thousands of women, mostly those
who barely support themselves and
their dependents by the small wages
they receive in clothing factories, will
suffer "untold hardship" if the order is
CARED out, according to Mrs. Maude
Schwartz, secretary Of the Women's
rade Union League.
"Thc great misfortune to many Of
these women is" she remarked, "that
they work in seasonal trades, and that
at present they are making the best
wages of the year ard are now trying

Men From 5000 Industries
to Meet i'm Newark to
Consider Shutdown
Some to Pay Employees
Five Days Suspension Means
Loss of Millions in
Wages

Representatives Of three thousand
plants and industries in New Jersey,
confronted by the crisis brought about
by the order of Fuel Administrator
Garfield, will meet in convention next
Monday morning in Newark. Tele-
grams to the many ipcturers through
out the State were Sent out yesterday
by the Manufacturers Council Of the
New Jersey State Chamber Of Com
merce, urging cooperation in meeting
Warren C. King. director of the
council, yesterday advanced the plan
to the government and railroads Of
utilizing employees and vehicles made
unloading and distribution of freight,
particularly perishable goods and coal.
He ADVOCATED that the railroads pay
the men the usual wages for the work,
benefit Of preventing wage losses to
the workers, the hardest hit by the
ORDER and of helping to clear up the
traffic and fuel ..angles.
An invitation has been extended also
by telegraph to the New Jersey mem
bers in the House of Representatives
to Governor Walter E. Edge, United
States Senator j. S. Frelinghuysen and
Ex-Governor +. c. Stokes.
In issuing the call for the state con-
vention Director King said:

operating upon a three-day schedule,
being deprived of the necessary power
on the other three days.
"The manufacturers of the state
employ 100000. I would suggest that
the situation be largely ameliorated
through the use by the railroads OF
many of the employees of our plants
in helping to relieve the congestion
that is the purpose of the order.
MANY employees could be used by
the railroads for the loading and un-
loading of cars, for the handling Of
perishable products and for carriage, at
the same rate of pay the railroads have
been accustomed to giving for this
work.
Every manufacturer realizes that
we are facing serious situation, one
unprecedented in the history of the
nation, but We will not help matters
by jumping at rash conclusions as to
the wisdom of the order"
Here is the situation, in brief, con.
fronting the largest industrial cities
in New Jersey this morning:
NEWARk-One hundred and twenty
thousand workers, $500 plants idle;
wage loss, S5o0,o0O per day, or S7,0OO,-
900 for period of shutdown Work on
thousands of hides in process of tam

Or. Garlicld's order may mean discom-
fort and worry; to the average bust
ness man it may threaten disaster, but
to the poor Of the city, in the opinion
of settlement workers, it means starva-
ton or pauperan.
Men and women who have been in
close touch with conditions in the
East Side and other congcstcd districts

ployers of East Side labor, they said,

idle Most Of those who were able,
they believe, would refuse to pay.
Disaster FOR Tenement Dwellers
"I see nothing ahead but disaster for
the tenement dwellers of this city"
said Robert A. Crosby. president of the
Association of Neighborhood Workers.
"If this order is carried out we will
have one of the most serious problems
we have ever faced in this city.
"There may be some splendid reason
back of the ruling. but we feel that it
is a distinct failure on the part of the
fuel administration to realize what are
essential and what are non essential

situation has been put upon the poor

WASHINGTON, JAN 17.-Deiyeries
of coal during the next few days will
be small throughout the entire storm
swept section of the country, and prob
ably elsewhere, railroad officials de-
clared o-day after receiving reports of
continuing cold weather and snow.
Despite the fuel Administrations re-
striction order and the extraordinary
efforts Of railways to move coal, it will
De physically impossible to haul nor
mai. daily winter supply for probably
three or four days, even if the weather
moderates rapidly.
Bad weather reduced coal movements
between the Appalachian Mountains
and the Mississippi River to-day to
less than at any time within the last
week, according to reports reaching the
railroad administration.
Lines TO the larger coal mines have
been opened by snowploughs, but the
way is still blocked to scores of small
ones. Freezing weather and snow not
hauled away as fast as usual, but has
hindcred the return of empty cars.
This reduced loading will become most
apparent the first part of next week.
1t is understood that the fuel restric-
ton order was prompted partly by
anticipation Of this curtailed coal de-
livery. However, the railroad admin
istration is said not trhave suggested
such an order, officials of the depart
ment taking the attitude that the rail
ways are doing all in their power to
deliver coal, and that they are con-
cerned only secondarily in distribution
and conservation.
Director General McAdoo said to-
night the railroads would cooperate
