WATER POWERS RESENT
DIR. HARDMAN'S LATE RULING

Atlanta, Jan 30-That DR.. l.. Il.
Hardman, federal fuel administrator
for Georgia, had no authority from
Washington to close down manufacture
ing plants using hydoelectric power,
was the information received in this
city yesterday, following complaints
by Atlanta manufacturers and others
over the state who took the matter
istration in the national capital.
up by telegraph with the Fuel Admin
ing order was first announced ten days
ago it was specifically stated that it
did not apply to plants using hydro
When the fuel administrations clos
electric power, provided they were
able to operate without using coal to-
heat their buildings. This appeared
to be quite clear, inasmuch as the au-
thority of the Fuel Administration ex-
tends no further than the use of fuel,
and water pouring over dam is GER
tainly not to be classed as fuel -,
During the first five closing days,
on the first Monday, Atlanta plants
and other plants in Georgia using hy-
droelectric power went ahead and op-
Grated, on the strength of the ruling
stated above. Then DIR. Hardman
came along and astonished everybody
that no industry must consume hydro
electric power on Monday, January
2Sth.
Believing that he had no authority
to issue such an order, number of
mills in Atlanta and elsewhere through
out the state continued to operate yes
terday, and proteste were sent to
Washington, with the result that word
came back informing them that Dr.
Hardman went beyond the intention or
purpose of the fuel administration
when he attempted to curtail the use
of hydro-electric power.

that the men who still are being

English two years to put a million men
