Working Against Abnor-

Washington, Jan. 22.-The first OF
the heatless Mondays was generally
observed throughout the eastern half
of the United States as a holiday, de-
creed by the government to conserve
coal and to clear congestion from
railroads, which is becoming more
difficult because of severe weather.
The beneficial effect of the shutting
down of industrial plants probably
will not be felt blythe railroads until
late in the week, and not then to tie
hoped-for extent If abnormal Winter
weather continues.
Although the closing order goes no
further than to forbid the use OF fuel
for heating, officials expect business
to and a further direct request
was issued that all retail establish
ments, except food and drug stores,
close their doors for the day.
Food stores, which, in the original
order, were permitted to remain open
only half the day, were granted a spe-
'ial ~dispensation under which they
may sell goods throughout the day

one intend to continue business as
usual. An amendment order will be
issued within a few days permitting
the opening of department stores on
Mondays and making the prohibition
tight.
1t is said that the use of fuel for
lighting buildings and for operating
their elevators probably would be
prevented during the remainder of
the Monday holidays. In drawing the
order this was overlooked, and thou

fuel administration asking for a rul-

While reports told of an increased
movement Of coal to householders and
to ships under the first three days
operation of the ive-day factory clos
ing order, severe weather held back
the clearing of freight congestion,
which was n of the chief purposes
sought. At the office of the director
general of railroads it was said there
was little hope for material improve
ment in traffic conditions until the
weather moderated. e
