What appears to be a very drastic

PLAN DOUBLE TIME BASIS
FOR ALL SHIPYARDS

Chairman Edward n. Hurley, of the
Shipping Board, today began a per
sonal inspection OF some Of the largest
shipyards on the Atlantic coast. in
cluding plants at Hog Island, Newark
Bay, and Chester.
Mr.. Hurley before leaving said he
would hold conferences With many Of
the shipyard owners and urge the
early adoption OF two eight-hour
labor shifts in order to speed up work
on vessels now on tho ways. He said
sufficient labor is now being recruited
to bring the yards up to double-time
basis.
Eventually II is proposed to in.
augurate full twenty-four-hour sched-
ules in all yards. Chairman Hurleys
present tour will include practically
all of the big yards north OF Hamp-
ton Roads. He will return to Wash

Coal operators are Surprised and

states for fourteen DAYS, according to
7. +. Barrett. president OF the Cen
trail Coal Company OF Pittsburgh. and
the representative OF a large body OF

AZ Is ridiculous and unnecessary -
said Barrett, but IL is only charac--
teristic or the Fuel Administration.
Those people up there have been in
a panic. They always act as though
they were in a panic, and no panic
exists.
"Tf they had acted wisely and with
out feeling that they were in a panic

WASHINGTON
INDUSTRIES
PLEDGE. FULL
COOPERATION

As soon as Washington recovered
from the shock of reading the pre-
liminary orders restricting industrial
activities in order to conserve fuel.
it set about to adjust itself to the
regulations so far as they had been
made public.
The Times Sought to obtain from
managers of enterprises information
as to what form their plans were TAX
ing. Many of them wished to wait
until the full text OF the order had
been issued by DIR. Garfield. but all
of them expressed the opinion that
they and everybody else should do
everything possible TO aid the Gov
eminent.
No Effect Here.
II can't see how the new order can
affect the merchants OF Washington"
declared r. p. Andrews, president OF
the Retail Merchants Association.
According to the wording OF the
order, each establishment is to be per
mitted to have enough heat to pre-
vent injury to property. Now most
of the department stores and other
stores of the city have large water
tanks on their roofs. Without heat
these would burst and not only would
there be injury to property, but loss
OF life would result,
III the stores can have enough heat
to prevent their tanks from bursting
and their plumbing from freezing 1t
would seem that they will be warm
enough for business purposes. You
cannot force steam up to the top or
a six-story building without Its pass
ing through the pipes and necessarily
heating the rest of the building.
"In some cases the outlook is very
serious. For instance, ! have at least
S10,O 900 worth of ink in my establish
ment which would freeze without
heat. Others are in the same predica-
ment They must have enough heat
to protect themselves from heavy
losses, and that much heat would be
sufficient to continue business. OF

SENATORS SCORE
GARFIELD ORDER
ASUNNECESSARY

Unfsvorable comment on the new
Garfield order for fourteen workless
days to conserve fuel was freely made
about the Capitol today.
'Incredible." was the verdict OF
Senator Townsend OF Michigan. "a
schoolboy should have better judg-
ment.
when we are so short Of supplies
he proposes to stop manufacturing.
In Detroit and other manufacturing
cities OF my State vast quantities OF
work will be held up: Industries will
be disorganized 1t will take them
weeks to get on their feet"
Enough Coal For All.
Senator Pomerene OF Ohio, who has
been a leader for coal conservation
legislation and reduction OF prices.
said he believed there was enough
coal in the country to supply all needs
IL properly handled.
"AIl have to say is that must be
shown that it is necessary said
Senator Pomerene.
at might be better to shut down
the theaters or amusements for
period rather than to clase the indus
tries" said Senator Jones Of Wash
Ington. I'VE need the Industries at
work to help out the war prepara-
tions."
senator Knox OF Pennsylvania said:
81 suppose the purpose is TO con-
serve the supply on hand and aid in
dustries TO get on their feet again.
But it will have a most serious effect
on the many essential war manufac-
tories OF Pennsylvania.
Senator Reed was no tthe only
member OF the committee who was
aroused. Senator Vardaman of Mis-
sissippi said, ait Is very unfortunate.
There is some pretty bunglesome
work being done"
Jones Defends Measure.
Senator Jones OF New Mexico. whe
has been the constant defender OF
the Fuel Administration, still de-
Tended DIR. Garfield today. This
country does not know it is in the
war yet" said Senator Jones, land
We must suffer some. saSrifices.. !
believe that the order is based on
necessity"
Senator Reed and Senator Jones
threatened to clash when the commit
tee met. Senator Jones desired
George II. Earle OF Philadelphia
placed upon the stand to testify con-
cerninR the sugar shortage. Sena-
tor Reed wanted TO go on with coal
witnesses.
81 want to bring these hearings to
a close" said Senator Reed banging
upon the table.
81 believe we can finish up very
shortly" Senator Jones replied with
some little heat Tho members of the
committee then held a short executive
session and decided, FOR various rea-
sons" to adjourn until tomorrow.
Reed Denounces Order.
II have talked with practical
man." Senator Reed said in reference
to Garfeld's order, 'one who has oper-
ated largo institutions and who is ut
terly wanting in those intellectual
qualities which enable a man to be
above practical things. He tells me
practically every factory in the United
States has some coal. and many OF
them large stores of coal. They are
not going to conhscate this coal He
asked me why the factories that have
coal should be compelled to shut
down and throw millions out Of work,
cause great economic losses. and stop
the war work, especially when there
is coal in the factories to be used.
