FREIGHT CONGESTION
MATERIALLY RELIEVED
Situation in New York Much
Better Now.

New York. Jan. 1S.--Determination
to observe the Instructions OF the gov
eminent In carrying out its war orders
Is steadily relieving congestion in the
New York territory, according to en-
cQur4ging repoits received today at
the office of II. a. Smith, assistant di-
rector general of railroads. Efforts
arebeing concentrated upon the move

& Great fleet of merchant ships tied
up In this and other ports.
Harbor traffic is still Handicapped
by ice packs, many steam lighters and
tugs used for towing barges having
been crippled by the heavy foes.
Nevertheless, many more steamships
waiting for bunker coal to begin their
voyages were supplied today than on
any day in the last week.
Vessels Still Waiting.
More than 100 vessels were said to
be still waiting for fuel.
Coaling Of these ships was con-
sidered OF first importance and all eff
forts were directed to that end. Ia
was pointed out that the daily ar
rivals exceed the number of craft on
which fuel has been loaded. Officials
concentrated on this work today, con

France must have a steady and I'M

Garfield Issues Statement
Explaining Drastic Action

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield issued statement
tonight reminding the public that while
the fuel restriction order was drastic,
war was drastic and the order was !,
necessary war measure.
Besides the list of exemptions a
number Of industries were exempted
from operation Of the closing order
under special rulings. These included
the production of ore and the manu-
facture of equipment and supplies fot
mines.
The statement follows:
Most Drastic Action.
The order suspending temporarily
the operation of industrial plants, in
portions Of the United States is dras-
TIC. Yes, war Is drastic. TINS war Is
the most extensive and involves great
err sacrifices than any war hereto
fore. The American people, led by
the president, entered this war de-
liberately. They are stalking every
thing for the realization of great
ideal and the ideal is practical We
know that democracy must Eo made a
reality at home, as well as abroad
that its benefits must be shared by
all and it's sacrifices borne by no
single class.
Capital and Labor Alike.
Capital and labor are embarke
in this war because all Americans ore
In II and the American spirit cries out
against the least suggestion 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
lager are not two but one. Thcir prob
lens present merely two aspects of the
same vital question. The unseifish
and patriotic impulses and the calm
look ahead will lead the country to
approve Of the order now in force.
Industry Unbalanced.
Industry Is in an unbalanced con
dition. we lack many essentials, food,
clothing, fuel. We have piled up
enormous stores Of things not essen
tial to life. but very essential to war.
We have piled them up SO high on our
docks and in our storehouses that the
ships available cannot carry them
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1918-01-19

away as fast as they pile up. For
fic congestion, the number of ships in
our harbors 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 congestion that at many
points holds the loaded ears in its
grip.
Makes All Equal.
ITO single out industries not en-
gagged to some extent in war manutar-
ture Is to select industries when IN
the aggregate will bring relief only II
suspended Indefinitely. To require all
industries except comparatively
small part to cease for few days
quickly accomplishes the desired re-
suit and permanently injuries none.
The order rs 1t stands puts all m
dustrr on an equal footing, fhEoflnG
none and avoiding unfair competi-
ton, but kbis reason alone is not s"i~
ricient. This reason, pius the fact mat
the order will put coal in the empty
bins of the people, will save coal, VIII
aid in breaking mp congestion o. t'af-
fic and in furnishing an adequate
supply of coal to the people who need
it, and to the ship which cannot sail
without it~thcsc are sufficient rea-
sons to Justify the order.
Only Few Exempted.
only those industries producing
necessary war material that can be
promptly delivered are permitted to
operate during the suspension period.
To permit Industries with coal sup
ply on hand would allow many of the
least essential to continue while some
of the most essential would be com
p,lied to stop. Moreover. to allow
those fortunate enough to possess a
coal pile to continue would result in
adding to the traffic congestion, ana
unless they also are suspended at a
later period. the needed saving in con :
sumption of coal would not result.
ITO have delayed the application Of
the order would only have added to
the congestion. 1t is no condemnation
of industry to say that each would
have striveu to the utmost to increase
it's supply OF coal and other raw ma =
terial during the days prior % the APP
plication of the order"

Appeals to Capital.
DR. Garfield's statement cmpha sizes
the railroad congestion. which he de-
clares is threatening the food supply,
points to the necessity for moving
ships to Europe and carries an appeal
to capital to bear its share of the bur
den brought by the closing order by
paying employees for the time they arc
idle.
The situation in Atlantic ports drew
most of DR.. Garfield's attention today
while his assistants struggled with the
great volume of requests for interprc-
tations of the general terms of the
order. Fuel administration represent
atives were dispatched to the prin-
cipal Atlantic ports, there to remain
until every ship held up for lack of
fuel has its bunkcrs filled Reports
tonight to the administration said that
the situation would begin to improve
Immediately and that more than a mil
lion tons OF shipping detained would
be on its way within n short time.
Disapproved Railroad Embargo.
Suggestions tnat a railroad embargo
bc declared on the shipment of goods
from factories shut down and on the
movement of materials to the Atlantic
seaboard were disaprrovcd today by
Secretary McAdoo. director general of
railroads, who said that the railroad
congestion would be cleared in IA few
weeks. Fuel administration officials
favor an embargo and believe 1t would
materially aid in improving not only
transportation conditions. but the fuel
situation as we'll.
All Obey Order.
REPORTS to tn" fuel administration
said that observance of the order in
the territory to which 1t apples was
general. Some few violations were
noted and the department of justice
will be asked to investigate through
its local representatives.
Most Of the violations, it was be
and lack of information. In some
states federal fuel officials themselves
misunderstood the order and attempt
ed to close down plants operated by
water power. over which the fuel adj
has no control.

FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
Dr.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
