ALEXANDRIA MEN
GIVEN WORK WHEN
PLANTS CLOSEUP

The problem OF caring for 1000
workers in Alexandria, Va, affected
by the shutdown order of the Fuel
Administration has been solved by
the business men of that city. 1t was
announced today. A majority of the
men will be employed part time. at
least, while the manufacturing plants
are closed.
Though dazed by the suddenness of
the order. the Alexandria employers
put their shoulders to the wheel and
brought order out OF the threatened
chaos. A clear understanding OF the
status of each Of the concerns was
reached after conferences with Fed
eral Fuel Administrator George E.
warfield. of Alexandria.
A majority of the leading employ
ers devised means OF keeping labor
employed without the least violation
of the fuel edict. As a result, thou
sands OF dollars have been saved the
workers. and fully 30 per cent of
them will get full time on the pay
rolls.
Many OF them have been put to
the task OF helping the railroad prob
lem and freight cleanup week in I'M

GarfieLd's Statement In
Explanation of Order

none and avoiding unfair competition.
but this reason alone Is not sufficient.
This reason. plus the fact that the
order will put coal In the empty bins
Of the people, will save coal, will aid
In breaking up congestion Of traffic
and in furnishing an adequate sup
ply Of coal to the people who need 1t
and to the ships which cannot sail
without it-these are sufficient
reasons and justify the order.
To Relieve Congestion.
Only those industries producing
necessary war material that can be
promptly delivered are permitted to
operate during the suspension period.
To permit industries with a coal sup
ply on hand to operate would allow
many OF the least essential to con-
tinue while some OF the most essen
tial would be compelled to stop.
Moreover. to allow those fortunate
enough to possess a coal pile to con-
tinue would result In adding to the
traffic congestion. and, unless they
also are suspended at a later period.
the needed saving in consumption OF
coal would not result. To have de-
layed the application OF the order
would only have added to the conges-
ton. II Is no condemnation OF indus
try to say that each would have
striven to the utmost to increase its
supply OF coal and other raw ma
terial during the days prior TO the
application OF the order.

GARFIELD Sees Improvement.
THE general fuel situation already
shows material Improvement"
THAT was the announcement OF Fuel
director Harry A. Garfield after he
had examined complete reports from
all of his subcrdinates today. The
clearing up Of congestion in the great
railway terminals goes on apace, he
said
Loaded cars are moving rapidly
everywhere, the reports said. This
movement is greatly assisted by the
weather, which shows Improvement
at most points. The chief difficulty
now is to secure empty cars. The
Fuel Director, cooperating with Rail-
way Director McAdoo, has taken steps
to have all empties run as preferred
freight to the mine fields.
The most unsatisfactory situation
exists in the West Virginia field.
There 10000 cars loaded with coal
are on sidings and not moving.
Only a few reports of violations
have been received. II was announc-
ed that these will all be turned over
to the Federal authorities for investi-
cation and prosecution.
Saw mills, mostly located in the
South, which are producing timber
for the shipping board were today
exempted from operation OF the shut
down order by DIR. Garfield at the
request Of the shipping board. At
the same time the director took steps
to secure the realise. OF coal barges
controlled by the navy and the ship

bunker coal on tied-up steamers in

SCRANTON, Jan. 19.-Fortv-five
miles Of cars filled with coal are ly-
ing along the lines of the Delaware
and Hudson company between Green
Ridge and Carbonate.
Referring to this condition Of af-
fairs. miners in this vicinity say:
"well furnish all the coal that's
needed IL the cars in which to load
It are furnished"
Delaware and Hudson collieries in
Archibald borough are dumping. coal
outside OF the breakers because there
are no cars under the breakers to
receive II. Miners in and around
Scranton are unable to work full time
because of the car shortage. Most
of the mine workers who have left to
work at munition plants have quit
because of unsteady conditions. Many
of them could work only three and
four days week. when they were
eager to get in six days and even
overtime.
In the keyser valley yards of the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
railroad there are three sets OF rails
extending three miles. all filled with
loaded cars An engine shortage Is
responsible.
As proof that there Is no shortage
Of production, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company closed
lown operations in one vein OF the
national mine in south Scraton a few
days ago because OF the car short
age. Twenty-siN miners were laid
off. A strike of 500 hands followed
for the reinstatement of the men.
The company was unable to place
them at any OF its mines. Finally
the strikers returned to work on the
assurance that the collIery would re-
sumo full capacity operations In a
few days.

Fuel Administrator Garheld's state
nent IN support OF his coal edict fol
lows:
The order suspending temporar-
iIy the operation OF industrial
plants in portions OF the United
States is drastic. Yes; war Is
drastic. This war is the most
extensive war of the worlds his
tory, and involves greater sacri-
fces than any war heretofore.
The American people, led by the
President, entered this war DELHI
erately. They are stalking every
thing for the realization OF a
great ideal, and the ideal Is prac-
teal. We know that. democracy
must be made q reality at home,
as well as abroad mat. Its kene-
fits must be shared By all and its
sacrifices borne by no single class.
Capital and labor are embarked
in this war because all Americans
are in It, and the American spirit
cries out against the least sug-
gestion that the burden be shifted
to the backs of any one class.
least of all of labor. for labor has
less financial ability to meet the
prolonged hardships Of war than
capital.
We are realizing the truth now
as never before that capital and
labor are not two, but one. Their
problems present merely two as
poets of the same vital question.
The unseIfsh and patriotic i'm
pulses and the calm look ahead
will lead the country to approve
of the order now in force.
same Vital Question.
Industry IL in an unbalanced
condition. We lack many essen
tials-food. clothing. fuel We
have piled up enormous stores OF
things not essential to lie but
very essential to war. We have
piled them SO high en- cur docks
and in our storehouses that the
ships available cannot carry
them away as fast as they pile
up. For lack OF bunker coal
held back by traffic congestion,
the number Of ships in our har-
bors increases menaCingly.
The food supply is threatened
to an even greater degree than
the fuel supply. This condition
is in large part due to the con-
gestion that at many points holds
the loaded cars in its grip.
