Fiive-Day Closing Order
May Have To Be Repeated
Garfield Appeals to Manufacturers Promising
to Show Results by Monday-Washingt
Deuged With Protests

the Vice President, explaining 10 the
Senate that its resolution reouestjno
delay had not reached him before the
order had beer issued In midafter-
noon he issued the list of exempted in
dustrlcs. Instructions of general
nature alone went out from the office
OF the Fuel Administrator, and specific
inquiries from state and district ad
mlnistrators were referred to his vari-
Gus assistants.
Confusion Over Ships
As an indication of the confusion
which reigned at the headquarters of
the fuel administration. it was. noted
that the exemption list contained the
names of four shipbuilding plants, al
though every shipyard in the country
IS included in the blanket assurance
given Mr.. Hurley that there would be
no interference with this v:taiiv impor-
tant work. Explaining this. DR.. Gar
field said that the Navy Department had
requested these exemptions. and this
double protection at once issued. All
day long he turned a deaf ear to
manufacturers who clamored for their
particular industry, and no considera
tlon was given to any appeal which had
not first received the sanction of Sccre-
tarieS Baker or Daniels.
When the newspaper men assembled
tor the daily conference, Dr.. Garfield
read them his prepared statement. and
an avalanche of questions immediately
followed. Attention was called TO the
outspoken opposition of Governor Whit
man, and rumor which gained Gre
dcnce here to-day was that officials
would advise workers not TO obey the
order. To this Dr. Garfield replied:
I'VE have been so busy attending to
TIE affirmative things in connection
with this. that we have had no time
to plan tor the prosecution Of such
details"
Has Alternative Ready
To question of similar import. con-
cerning the action Of the Fuel Admins,
tration in the remote contingency that
some manufacturers would evade the
Monday law by running on Sunday, he
replied:
"If the people of the country are
not disposed to play up to an order
Of this kind, and there is indication of
a deliberate purpose to defeat it, will
quickly take such course to handle that
matter as far as / can. If necessary
we will apply the Monday provision to
Sunday"
He promised that by Monday the fuel
Administration would be able to give
the people some concrete evidence on
the extent of their sacrifice, in number
of tons of fuel saved.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The pres
ent five-day closing down of factories
50 that coal may be conserved and the
traffic jam relieved will have to be
, repeated at least once, ard probably
several times, according to information
reaching The Tribune correspondent
tonight.
Henry c. Wells, president OF the
Massachusetts, Senate, stated positively
after several conferences on the New
England coal situation here to-day that
the fiveday shutdown on all but the
most essential factories. even when
added to the nine idle Mondays to fol-
low, would not solve the problem
AFTER discussing the question with
some coal experts" he was willing to
say for publication, Il am confident
that the present five-day shutdown
must be repeated perhaps several
times. Nothing that could be done now
would put the New England situation
back to normal-not if every coal car
We're diverted to New England"
The most significant part of the pre-
pared statement which Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield issued to the press late
this afternoon was a reiteration OF
his appeal to the manufacturers of the
country not to allow the burdens i'm
posed BY the fve-day shutdown to
apply to labor.
All Americans in Ii
Capital and labor arc embarked in
this war because all Americans are
in it," he said "and the American
spirit cries out against the least sur-
sestion that the burden be shifted to
the backs of any one class. least of
all, of labor. for labor has less tinan-
cial ability to meet the prolonged hard
ships of war than capital"
Tonight the fuel administration bas
received no definite assurances from
manufacturers in the affected states
that capital is prepared to assume this
burden in whole or in part.

'hem IN charge of the war Its best
brains, or, better still. its best cxccu-
tive brains, are not here There arc
good minds here. Mr.. McAdoo is an
able man, with too much to do. Mr..
Baker is brilliant man, miscast in
his present job. Mr. Baruch has the
capacity to get things DONE which he
exercises in an advisory capacity. Mr..
Hoover shows the same ability here he
showed in feeding Belgium.
But each of these men has ONLY a
part of the enormous job Of war max
ing to do. and sometimes the wrong
part, and there is no one except Pres
ldent Wilson, spasmodically and as he
finds time to do it or as the pressure
OF circumstances compels him to do it,
who gives his attention to our war ac-
tlvities as whole.
The President should have under him
a small body Of the ablest men in the
country who would give their whole
energies to keeping the national war
machine running smoothly. These men
should represent him in his relations
with all the departments and agencies
OF the government charged with war
activities. The Secretary of War and
the Secretary of the Navy should be
subordinate to the war cabinet. just as
much as Mr.. Garfield Mr.. Hoover and
Mr. Hurley. The heads Of the War Of
flee and Of the Admiralty in England
act under the direction OF the War
Cabinet.
The situation is UP to the public If
the country insists upon having it's big
men put in charge here directly under
the President and above the present
Cabinet, all it has to do is to make its
wishes heard. The President is yield

Wilson Hash t Time
To Handle All Problems

The creation of a war cabinet is the
most important single step that can be
taken to bring order out of the chaos
here. Our war organization centres
nowhere short Of the President, and it
is not possible for him to give the
time that is required to planning for
the war and seeing that the plans are
carried out without conflict among de-
partments and other administrative
agencies
There is no one hvre whose business
it was to foresee and guard against the
mistakes that have led to the present
suspension of industry. England and
France have found it necessary to have
small executive bodies giving their en-
tire time to the conduct of the war
Where we have a Cabinet that sits for
little while twice a week, they have
IN the one case a special cabinet, in the
other case a committee which gives it's
whole time, every day in the week, all
day long, to the management of the

War Cabinet Would
Have Compelled Speed

Had there been war cabinet here
the necessity Of taking over the rail-
roads would have been seen early and
promptly acted upon. Had there been
such a cabinet there would have been
some one to get on the trail Of Mr.
Denman and Mr.. Hurley and see that
we got ships, instead of promises.
There would have been comprehen-
sivc war plan, and that plan would not
have been subject to change by the Sec
retary Of War acting alone without any
reference to the Shipping Board or the
Food Administration.
The creation OF war cabinet gives
the country an opportunity to bring its

Exempt From Order

The country at large knew nothing
Oh exemptions except the few an

until late this afternoon that the fuel

that important war work was not

list Of hundreds of factories that

Food Administrator Hoover. in a
statement, interpreted the order to
mean that no check would be put on the
operations OF any sort of food handling,
manufacturing, or distributing.
The plants exempted from list pre-

For Every Day and Summer Time.

Thrifty mothers who take advan-
tage of winter days spent indoors to
prepare for summer days spent out-of-
doors will welcome these spring mod
els in everyday summer tv~-csses for
little girls. They are made of the same
reliable and familiar cotton goods that
have made a place for themselves that
nothing seems able TO usurp. Striped
Bingham and plain chambray lend their
established popularity to promote the
success of the two practical little
frocks illustrated. 1t almost goes
without saying that nine out of ten
dresses for the everyday wear of little
folks are made of these fabrics.
With materials foregone conclusion
mothers interest themselves In the liz
tie changes In style and methods of
making that make little variation in
the story of children's frocks from
season to season. So much attention
has been given to new designs for

unusually interesting. The little model

Evening Frocks for the Younger Set.

Although the evening dress-pure
and ('simple" with ques-
ton mark) Is more or less banished
from the wardrobe Of young matrons
and maturer women, 1t Is still allowed
to the younger set.
Every girl is entitled to her share Of
the little joys Of youth, and an eve
ming dress means much in her young
life, Naturally evening dress for the
youthful is, or at least seems, simple
Nobody wants to see "the girl he
left behind him" sit down in dull ap-
utby because her lad has gone to the
war If she is down-hearted, she must
not proclaim 1t, and nothing will heart
en- her more than her share of pretty
clothes. Besides the wheels of bust
ness must be kept going.

nothing that might be better used by
the shivering French and Belgians

this brilliant frock Is made.
The skirt is draped In folds that cas-
cade over the hips and hangs in points
at the bottom. The glittering bodice
Is of net incrusted with small green se-
quins and rhinestones. 1t is extended
into points that end in q tassel over
the hips and supported by two narrow
straps of satin over each shoulder.
The pointed skirt allows a glimpse
of light gray silk hose that match uI
well with silver slippers. Altogether
this is a very brilliant affair, which
can hardly be classed as magnificent
