PLANTS CLOSED DESIRE TO
KNOW AUTHORITY OF ORDER

Norfolk, Va, Oct 25.--To ascertain
the authority by, which the "non-es-
Isentiai' industries Of Norfolk have
been closed down for the purpose OF
conserving power, at least one bust
ness man whose plant has been closed
down as a non -esse tial, will start his
machinery up tomorrow. The person
in question does not desire that his
name and business be made known
for the reason that a wrong impress
sion might he placed upon his action,
He desires TO make II plain that he is
not protesting against any measure
which Is necessary or which is A re-
quest or order from the government.
He merely wishes to ascertain wheth-
err 1t is the government which has
closed down his plant and whether or
not his product is non essential. He
Is convinced that It Is essential
In discussing the matter today It
was shown that the closing down was
not the result Of an order from any
government official or board. A re-
quest came from the Virginia Railway
and Power company to close down,
and the person making the request
stated that he made It upon the au-
thorfty OF the war board OF control Of
the Hampton Roads district No Of
fetal order has yet come and the
plants which have been closed are
only closed because the men In charge
accepted the request as an order.
