traitors have not understood the order.
DR., Garfield said it would b" easy for
plants to evade instructions. but he be-
lieved there would be few such cases.
He intimated, however. that violations
would be dealt with vigorously under
the food and fuel law. and the coal sup
ply of offending plants would be cut off.
The governments desire that plants
affected by the order pay their en-

telegram to state administrators signed
by DIR. Garfield:
"Will you kindly give public express

gate will bring relief only II suspend
ed indefinitely. To require all indus
tries except a comparatively small part
to cease for few days quickly accom-
plishes the desired result and perma-
nently Injuries none.
THE order as it stands puts all In
dustry on an equal footing favoring
none and avoiding unfair competition.
but this reason alone is not sufficient.
This reason. plus the fact that the or
der will put coal In the empty bins OF OF
the people. will save coal, will aid In
breaking up congestion of traffic and
in furnishing an adequate supply 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.
"Only those industries producing nee
essary war material that can be
promptly delivered are permitted to
operate during the suspension period.
To permit industries with coal sup
ply on hand to operate would allow
while some Of the most essential would
be compelled to stop. Moreover, to al
low those fortunate enough to possess
a coal pile to continue would result in
adding to the traffic congestion and.
unless they also are suspended at a
sumption of coal would not result. To
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
striven to the utmost to increase its
supply of coal and other raw material

of the order"

Of the District to stop critfc1sing ana

The special committee appointed by
the directors of the chamber to inquire
into the situation. held a conference
with John L. Weaver. local fuel ad-
ministrator. this morning. after which
they reported to A. Leftwich Sinclair,
president of the chamber. AFTER recelv-
Ing the report Mr.. Sinclair stated:
'HThe committee was assured that the
situation warranted the action taken by
the United States Fuel Administration,
and the members of the committee be-
lieve the administration is doing every
thing possible to meet the conditions
as they exist"
Mr. Sinclair said In view Of the COM
mittees report he did not deem it
necessary to call a meeting of the
executive committee Of the chamber to
give the question further considera-
ton.
Would Make Situation Acute.
James F. Oyster, chairman of the spe-
cial COMMITTEES that conferred with Mr..
Weaver, said that while the orders
now in force throughout the country
may seem drastic. the committee was
informed they were necessary. and that
to delay them for ten days or more
would only have made the situation
more acute.
The situation is serious" said Mr..
Oyster, but we believe the administra-
tion is doing all 1t can to meet 1t, and
we fell that criticism is out of place at
this time I think that as soon as the
people realize we are at war and that
stringent regulations such as DR.. Gar
fields order are necessary, believe the
people will cooperate.
The administration will welcome
suggestions and corporation from the

should do all in It's power to make the
people realize that this is time for
cooperating intead Of oriticising."

In response to questions of Chair

do that" he said.
Director McAdoo said he believed the
proposed basis of compensation to be

Opposition Spreads Itself.

and another explanation from DIR. Gar

gestion is threatening the food supply,
vigorous opposition in Congress ap-
parently has spent itself. The fuel ad-
ministrator yesterday replied to the
Senate request that the order be sus-
pended temporarily. disclaiming any
purpose to be discourteous by failing
to comply with the senator's wishes.
He again pointed out the necessity of
the move.

by all and its sacrifices borne by nj
single class.
Capital and Labor Concerned.

Capital and labor are embarked in
this war because all Americans are in
it, 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 labor
are not two but one. Their problems
present merely two aspects Of the same
vital question. The unselflsh and pa
triotic impulses and the calm look
ahead will lead the country to approve
of the order now in force.
Industry is in an unbalanced condi-
ton We lack many essenttals-food,
clothing, fuel We have piled up enor-
nous stores of things not essential to
life, but very essential to war We
have piled them so high on our docks
and in our storehouses that the ships
available cannot carry them away as
fast as they pile up. For lack of bunk
er coal held back by traffic congestion,
the number of ships in our harbors in
creases menacingly.
'The food supply is threatened to an
even greater degree than the fuel sup
ply. This condition is in large part due
to the congestion that at many points
holds the loaded cars in its grip.

administrators may be expected TO
make further exemptions in the case
of food-producing plants and related

Daniels including manufacturers of

rifles. small arms and ammunition;
forging, electrical supplies and tool

and destroyer parts; aircraft and air.

but will continue to operate under spe-
cial ruling, as will virtually all ore
producing mines. There will be no more
general exemptions. it was announced.
except over the signatures of Secre-
taries Baker and Daniels. Liberal In
terpretations, however. will be given
to rules applying to raw materials.
Backed by vigorous defense of Presi-
dent Wilson. who yesterday gave his
full support to the closing order as I'M
perative to release coal to move sup
plies to the American Army and the
allies. DR.. GARFIELD today gave his at
tention to the situation at Atlantic
ports. Fuel administration agents have
been sent to seaboard points and will
remain there until all ships held up are
bunkered. Immediate improvement in
the situation is expected. and more than
a million tons Of shipping detained will
be on its way in a short time.
