Astounding Order by Garfield
Stops Nations Industries
for Five Days.
CAUSED by THE COAL FAMINE
Nine Additional Holidays Decreed-
Storm Of Protests Is Unavailing-At-
tacks on Secretary Baker Continue
Central Powers Reject Russian
Peace Proposals.
BY EDWARD W. PIckARo.

1T is the earnest desire Of the fuel
administration to prevent entirely any
dislocation of industry or of labor"
With these words, Fuel Administrator
Garfield closed his summary OF the
most drastic and startling experiment
In domestic and war economy made by
this or any other government. For five
days beginning January Is every fac
tory and workshop in the region east of
the Mississippi and including all Of
Louisiana and Minnesota, was ordered
closed, with the exception of those
manufacturing perishable food or food
or immediate consumption. Ten sue
cessive Mondays beginning January q
are ordered to be observed as holidays
when the consumption of coal shall
cease except In specified cases.
Doctor Garfield stated that he ex-
pected to save 100000 tons Of coal
| by his order. Very likely he will, but
his plan, announced without warning,
! brought a tremendous storm about his
head. Innumerable business men,
whose affairs were dislocated despite
! the earnest desire" Of the admlnistra-
! tor, flooded Washington with protests
| and requests for revocation of the
order, but II had been issued after con
| SultatiOn with and by direction OF
President Wilson and the walters had
| no chance for relief save In those indi-
| vidual instances where II was neces-
sary to prevent injury TO health or de-
/ struction of property.
Another and most important angle to
/ the situation was the enforced loss OF
/ millions OF dollars in wages TO work
| ers. Some big concerns did not deduct
anything from the pay Of their en-
/ ployees, but II was beyond hope that
| this example would be followed by any
/ considerable number Of employers.
Congress. startled out Of its usual
I deliberatiye calm, got into action i'm
/ medIately. The senate committee on
/ manufacturers called Doctor Garfield
| before ii and heard an explanation
/ that did not explain. and the senate
/ thereupon adopted resolution asking
/ that the order be delayed for FIVE days
( for investigation. This AdminIstra-
| tor Garfield, on advice OF the president,
/ ignored. In the house various resolu-
| tons were introduced, but immediate
action was blocked by certain Demo
I Gratis.
As finally issued. the order per
mItted ship yards and essential war In
/ dustries to get coal and remain IN
/ operation during the Eve voorhees,
days.

dition that throughout the war has
confronted the nations allied with US
and yet has called for no such pRnicky
action by any one Of them. The severe
winter weather which pBralyzed traffic.
and the extraordinary demands for
fuel due TO wartime conditions are
cited by Doctor Garfield as the causes
making necessary his order. The
miners blame the railroads for the coal
shortage. and the railroads blame the
starvation policy" Of the government
toward them for the last generation.
More coal was mined In the United
States last year than ever before. the
