that tho transportation system has

ed war and other industries; that the

ficient

ORDERS TOO DRASTIC.
state Fuel Administrators Given

washington, Feb. 2.--State fuel ad-
ministrators were notified by the fuel
administration tonight that they
must cease exceeding their authority
IN issuing without instructions from
Washington general orders restricting
the use Of coal.
The admonition was called forth bv
the fact that some administrators
nave enforced the Monday closing Or
der in q manner more drastic than
was intended by the government and
because Of their conflicting instruc-
lions to consumers In a telegram to
all State fuel administrators in the

traitor Garfield said,
"As a result Of various restrictive
regulations established locally. by
State fuel administrators in certain
states we are receiving many com
plants of discrimination between diff
ieTent States and inequalities in the
requirements OF neighboring commu-
mites. After careful considerat ton,
tnlted States fuel administrator Gar
Held has concluded that regulations
ia every State should in general he
'niform with those promulgated by
Washington.
I'VE particularly desire to uniform,
regulations for the whole country at
the earliest possible date not later
than February 6, having especially in
mind conformity with national Or
ders for lightless night and orders
restricting churches, theatres and
other public gathering places. as well
as orders relating to Closing drug
stores, food stores and others selling
necessities.
III general, we feel that the Unit
ed States fuel administrators order
OF January II is sufficiently drasatic
ana that further extension should not
DC attempted unless absolutely re.
CURED by local emergency and sub
stantially supported by local sanction
