Are You a Loafer?

By loafer not referring to those unde-
srable citizens who do not work We have in mind
another class of undesirables, which Food Admin
istrator Hoover rightly names "War Bread Loafers" "
These persons who eat than pound
and half OF wheat per week. They cat it in
bread pies cakes, in cereal form and in puddings.
These loafers consume more than their allotted
loaf of wheat flour By thus doing they aid the
Kaiser and steal bread from the mouths of hungry
women and children OF Great Britain, Belgium,
France and Italy-our helpers.
But because they are sly and deceitful it is hard
to catch these loafers. Apparently the only thing
loyal Americans can do is to eat less than their
wheat ration to balance the loss occasioned by the
selfish loaers.

Sheriff Jas G. Van Peit and J. L.
Schneider citizen of Illinois, had a
fight in the corridor OF the county Jail
building late yesterday afternoon after
some words had been passed, and the
sheriff, suffering with a badly injured
eye and other evidences of the set

Brent road, where a physician treated
his injuries.
Mr.. Schneider, a stranger in this
section, showed slight abrasions and
scratches on his face. but otherwise
was unhurt.
The fight caused a great deal of
interest. Mr.. Schneider had just COM
pleted satisfying sentence for nunt-
ing in the county without a license.
and was preparing to take his car
from the courtyard of the county
building when he discovered that sew
eral articles which he said were in
the Car when it was forcibly parked
there, We're missing. He took the mat
ter up with the officials at the county
Jail, asserting that the property had
been taken while he was in custody
and when the car was in the custody
of the sheriff. and that the county was
reasonably responsible for the custody
en- up this question with the sheriff
that te fight started, and deputies,
who We're nearby, stepped in and
stopped further trouble. Mr.. Schnei-
der, to The Journal last evening, stat
ed that he simply wanted the return
of property from the county and when
he demanded his property. trouble
started.
Mr.. Van Pelt was not down town
last night, remaining at home for the
night upon advice of his physician on
account of the injury to his eye. 1t
was stated by an eyewitness, how
ever. that the fight started in the cor
ridor stated, and followed a dis
cussion relative to the return of the
lost property.
Mr.. Schneider. travelling in his Ford
was arrested several weeks ago in the
Pine Barren vicinity by Constable
Bowman on the charge of hunting

he was in due time arraignes before
Judge Jones of the court of record,
and was fined upon n plea of guilty.

things, his gun and a razor had been
stolen while the auto was in the court
yard. He also claims that tent which.
he carried in the car, had been eaten
by rats, and had been considerable
damaged. Medicines which he carried
in the car had also been stolen dur
ing his incarceration, and as these
goods represented quite valuation
he called upon the officers for their
return. Not satisfied with the treat
ment accorded him, Mr.. Schneider last
evening asserted that he was going 70
take the matter up with the governor
if he could get no further satisfaction
from the local officers. He also claims
that the sheriff drew a knife on him,
but witnesses present stated that this
part of the allegations is not true.

Believed This Will Get
Around Blanket Closing
Industries Order.
SCHOOL BOARD TO
DISCUSS QUESTION
Local Sentiment, However,
Is for Full Compliance
Whatever Consequence.

Practically no action has been tax
en- by the agents for office buildings
in Pensacola to comply with the or
der of Fuel Administrators Garfield
and the general attitude is to await
specific instructions from the fuel ad-
ministration.
Not only is this the case with the
office buildings, but with few excep-
tions it is the stand takerzaSy others
affected by the drastic regrsEtions is
sued Wednesday. In many instances
those operating industries falling
under the c}assifications forbidding
the use of coal on Mondays cre plan
ming to burn wood, gas, or oil, iusti-
flying their position on the ground
that the order mentions coal, only. and
that while it may be necessary to
conserve heat. it is not SO stated in
the order.
As the order specifically mentions
schools as coming under its provis-
ions, it is understood that they viii
be closed on Mondays. No official
action has been taken by the Board
of Public Instruction, and a meeting
will probably3be held today to de-
ternline what course shall be pur-
sued. 1t is intinated that if the
schools are forced to close on Mon
days, they viii open on Saturdays so
b1as abe fuA fsfrsea necessary TO the
completion of courses may be pro-
vided.
T. w. Brent. agent for the Brent
Building stated to The Journal that
large supply of wood was available
for use in heating the building. un
less the order Of DIR. Garfield intend
ed to prevent wood being used. In
this case. he said, the order would
be complied with.
f. Hunter Brown, of the Fisher
Brown company, agents for the
Thiesen building stated that nothing
would be done until more specific
regulation were obtainable, but that
when issued, if they forced a closing
of the building it would be closed
j. c. Watson, of the Watson
ing, voiced a similar opinion stating
that when official notification was
received TO discontinue heating the
building on certain days, that the or
ders would be carried out.
C. w. Lamar, of the American Ma
tional Bank, agents for the American
National Bank building said that it
was their intention to comply fully
with the requirements of the govern
ment, and that when ordered to close
they would close
Mayor Thomas Fl. Johnson stated
that the city would not burn fuel on
days on which it was prohibited, but
that the City Hall would remain open
for the transaction of business, and
that the officials would be found in
their offices.
Virtually the only public building
tion of the order is the federal build
ing, which is permitted to use coal
for heating purposes on embargo
days.

STORES PROHIBITED
FROM USING COAL AS
SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, Jan. II. - The
coal order would prohibit use of
coal in stores and mercantile es
tablishments in these terms:
Wholesale or retailers, or any
other stores, business houses or
buildings whatever, except that
for the purpose of selling food
only, for which purposes stores
may maintain necessary heat un-
til II o'clock noon; and for the
purpose of selling drugs and
medical supplies only, stores
may maintain necessary heat
throughout the day and even

This would appear to apply to
department stores as well as
others.

ORDER THROWSRESOLUTIONSI
CONGRESS INTOITO DELAY THE
IA BIG UPROAR ORDER 5 DAYS
DIR. GARFIELD CALLED ON TO Ex-
PLAIN REASON FOR STAND, AND
LEGAL EPERTs GET BUSY on
PROBLEM.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE fuel ad-
ministration's order proposing to close
down Industrial activities and business
east of the Mississippi for a period of
five days to solve the coal shortage
today, threw congress into a uproar.
Republicans and Democrats alike in
both house and senate introduced res,
into effect at midnight.
Fuel Administrators Garfield was
summoned before the senate commit
tee investigating the coal situation
and asked to explain his reason for the
order which senators in debate charac-
terized as a mistake. a calamity and
most unwise.
From all sections Of the country
protests poured down upon congress-
men and senators and into the White
House.
The legal experts at the fuel ad-
ministration were busy during the day
preparing the legal text of the order
which it was said, probably would be
more liberal in its exceptions than had
been indicated by the official forecast
given out last night.
Mr.. Garfield went before the COM
mittee shortly after 2 o'clock and told
his reasons for issuing the order. The
fuel and railroad, he said made the
action imperative.
1.-The purpose of the order" said DIR.
Garfield, lis not to interfere in the
slightest with the loading OF coal at
the mines. This is made clear in the
amplifiontion of the abstract"
A modification decided on this morn
ing, DR.. Garfield, put all consumers in
the preferential list on an equal basis
with no preference shown to any one
class.
DIR. Garfield said that the plan was
to permit certain war industries to
operate despite the order.
Shipbuilding he said, was one of
them, but IL the industries which are
to be exempted were classified in the
order. it would cause a storm of pro-
test and embarrass the fuel admins
tration. DIR. Garfield said Secretaries
Baker and Daniels were preparing
such list.
The list OF exempted industries, DIR.
Garfield said. would include those inn
mediately necessary In the conduct or
the war. Aside from shipping and air
planes. he said, he did not know what
the list would contain.
The order was made necessary, DR..
Garfield said. by transportation con-
ditions which had made il impossible
TO supply Industries and at the same
time furnish homes and public utili-
ties. The necessity for moving ships,
he said, was so great that drastic
measures were compulsory
II have been discussing this with
business men for a month said Gar
field. IF companies fail to pay wares
for these idle days they will not be
doing their part"
Senator Reed adjourned the hearing
at $50 O'Clock and the committeeman
then returned TO the senate.
AS Dr. Garfild came from the COM
mittee room, a delegation from the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States intercepted him and they re-
entered the room for a conference.
I'VE want to find out what it all
means" said waddin Catchings. of
New York. I'VE knew nothing of the
order until we read about it in the
newspapers this morning.

FUEL ADMINISTRATORS TELLS
WHY ORDER Is so URGENT

Washington, Jan. 17..Fuel Admin.
istrator Garfield, in a statement to-
nigtt explaining the closing order,
siad: "The most urgent thing to be
done is to send to the American forces
abroad, and to the allies, FOOD, and
war supplies, which they virtually
need. War munitions, food, and man
ufacturered articles of every descrip-
tion are lying at Atlantic ports in tens
OF thousands OF tons, and where liter
ally hundreds of ships loaded with
war goods for our men, and allies,
cannot take TO seas because their
bunkers are empty of coal-Coa1 TO
send them away is awaiting behind
congested freight that is jammed at
all terminals" he declared. 1T is
worthless to bend our energies to more
manufacturing when what is already
manufactured lies at tidewater, con-
gesting facilities" he continued, land
iamming railroad yards and Sidetraclss
for long distances back into the coun-
try, and,' he said, "once the docks are
cleared our energies and power may
be turned to more manufacturing and
more efficient than ever. This is war,
and whatever the cost, we must pay"
he concluded.
1T has been excess Of production in
our war time speeding up that Is so
much to cause a congestion on the
railroads" Garfield explained. Added
to this has been a difficulty OF trans
porting coal for our own domestic
needs. On top of these difficulties
came the most terribly severe winters
known in years. To clear a line from
manufacturing establishments to sea-
board and beyond, that was an impera-

but it cannot be moved to these places
where ii is so badly needed, while
railroad lines and terminals choked,"
he said.
Astonished congress paid little at
tention to any other subject during
the day, and officials generally few of
whom had known the order was immi-
nent, talked of little else. DIR. Gar
field was the storm center during the
morning when his office was swamped
with telephone calls and in the after
noon when he was hailed before the
senate committee. and tonight when
he finally issued order.
