Apparently, reading the signs OF

not to ieopardize the chances OF OBJ
tanning supplies from the allies by
domestic violence was Il powerful
deterrent to those who might have
caused trouble. No disturbances
are reported anywhere.

The constituent assembly has been dis
solved. The decree of dissolution was
issued last night by the council of ma

early this morning by the central ex-
ecutive committee of the workmen's
and soldiers deputies.
The text reads:
when the constituent assembly
voted against the declaration made by

committee after an hours elaboration,
the bolsheyiki left the hall and were
followed by the social revolutionists
of the left on the assembly showing its
unwillingness to approve the manner

BUSINESS MEN OF SOUTH Oh.
SERVE FUEL ORDER FOR
FIVE DAYS.
NO VIOLATIONS REPORTED
Cotton Interests Are Hardest hh
With Tobacco Observation-Disclosures
Center at Birmingham Only Slightly
Affected.

Atlanta, Ga.-Hundreds Of industrial
plants in the south were closed for
O five-day period under the fuel re-
striction order and thousands OF op-
eratives were idle. No reports OF vio-
lations of the order had been received
and surface indications were that
both manufacturers and workers view
ed the situation philosophically.
The South Carolina house of repre-
sentatives, in session at Columbia
voted down by an overwhelming ma
jority resolution asking Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield to rescind the order
and the Atlanta chamber of commerce
adopted a resolution approving it. AT
Roanoke, business men in mass meet
ing voted to observe the order, while
the Norfolk, (Virginia) Retail Mer-
chants' Association asked merchants
to close all stores on Mondays during
the ten-week period.
The tobacco interests probably was
the largest outside of cotton to be af-
fected by the order. Cigar factories
in Florida, Virginia and other states
were closed as were tobacco and
cigarette plants in Virginia, North
Carolina and other sections.
The industrial center at Birming-
ham was only slightly affected, as most
of the steel plants there are engaged
on government work and at the coal
mines extra efforts were made to get
out coal Shiryards, including the
navy yards at Norfolk, Charleston and
New Orleans and the Newport News
plant, were in full operation.
Richmond apparently had the great
est army of idle workers of any city in
the south, thirty thousand having been
reported out of work there. Norfolk
and vicinity reported from 10000 to
10000 New Orleans some $1,000; Ma
con. Ca, 1000; Memphis from 5000
to 1000; Chattanooga from 5000 to
| 10000; Charleston, S. c., about 2,5OO,
and Knoxville, about $500.
In the Roanoke district where about
1000 workers were idle, the Norfolk &
} Western railway offered to employ
hundreds of persons in repair and
other work on its lines and in its shops
| during the days of inactivity, includ
! ing Mondays.
