CONGRESS- PEEvED
Wrathy Over Garfield's Ignor-
ing Senate Request.
Flame of Criticism Breaks Out
Anew in Both Houses.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-When con-
gress assembled attacks on the fuel
restriction order burst out anew, min
gled, in the senate with resentme mt
that the fuel administration has ignor-
ed it's resolution asking for delay. SEN
ators described themselves as being
in a state of ''irnpotent indignation"
"All this chaos is shameful Sen
ator Smith of Michigan, Republican
declared. THE senate should rise and
clip the wings of those who seek to
exercise such authority which was
never intended to be given.
The Country Aghast:
A letter from Doctor Garfield dated
today received by Senator Smith OF
Georgia, stated that the ruling does
not apply to newspapers or other in
dustries operated by the use of hydro
electric power.
The country is aghast," the Mich
isan senator shouted. Our enemies
must be jubilant. Some united action
should be taken to stay this blow Sc
serious and far reaching"
After presenting a letter from Doc
tor Garfield announcing that the order
is powerless over hydro-electric in
dustries Senator Smith of Georgia.
said:
1T hope this order will be literally
construed and that no effort will be
made by the fuel administrator to
cause trouble for hydro-electric COM
panies where simply little coal is
used to prevent freezing of their ma
chinery."
Hitchcock Drops Fight.
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat OF
Nebraska, author of the resolution
asking five days suspension of the
order, said he did not plan any further
action in the senate for stay. He
felt that time for action by congress
was insufficient.
Prior to the opening of the debate
Vice President Marshall advised the
senate he had been Informed by Fuel
Administrator Garfield that there was
no intention of discourtesy in putting
the order into effect despite the SEN
ate's resolution. He said the admin
istrator declared the resolution had
not been received by him until $50 p
m, while the order was promulgated
at 5:45 p. m.
while the resolution might not
have been presented in writing, it was
telephoned to the fuel administra tor, >
declared Hitchcock. land he had every
opportunity of knowing that the SEN
ate was about to pass it."
\ Word of Endorsement.
A word endorsing the order was
conveyed by Senator Beckham, who
presented a telegram from members
of the Louisville board of trade. Tele-
grams protesting or asking for en-
lightenment were presented by Sena-
tors Brandege, Tillman and Pomerene
1T was the most drastic order ever
| issued by any department of the gov.
eminent and in my judgment with less
excuse" said Senator Pomerene.
Presidents Fatal Error
Attacks on the fuel restrictions or
der blazed up in the house again to-
day. Representative Snyder, of New
York, denouncing it, said the president
! had made a fatal error in permitting
Mr.. Garfield to issue the order, which
he said, meant utter chaos, want and
suffering in this country. Many mem,
| bers took part in the discussion.

We have been told that what we
need to win the war is ships, airplanes,
food, big guns and various other
things. But the real need appears to
be coal. The report that there are
ia ships idle in New York harbor
thru lack of fuel indicates that we
already have more ships than we can
use. while much coal is being con-
sumed in building additional vessels.
Why not also include speed among the
country's war needs?
