At StandstiIi.

Washington, Jan. u. - In the &c
states east of the Mississippi river
and Minnesota and Louisiana the ma
tons manufacturing industry was
virtually suspended in obedience to
the governments order forbidding the
use of fuel. Most of the plants en-
gagged on war contracts V ere ex-

sent out Thursday night, but a few
of them learned of it in time and a
great majority of them closed down
with the other factories.
Factories Exempt.
The country at large knew nothing
of exemptions except the few an
nounced and 1t was not until late
yesterday afternoon that the fuel adj.
ministrator admitted officially that
important war work was not eff
fected by the order, and gave out a
list of hundreds of factories that may
continue work on government con
tracts only during the five-day period.
Confusion attending enforcement Of
the order was general. Such q food

Opposition in Congress.
Opposition to the order in Congress
apparently spent itself in debate in
both houses. During the day DIR. Gar
field replied to the Senate's request
that the order be suspended for five
days. disclaiming any purpose to be
discourteous, declining to comply and
again pointing out the necessity for
enforcement OF his order.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a
statement, interpreted the order to
NEAR that no check would be put on
the operations of any sort Of food
handling, manufacturing or distribut-
ing.
DIR. Garffeld's statement emphasizes
the railroad congestion, which he de-
clares is threatening the food supply
points to the necessity for moving
ships to Europe and carries an appeal
to capital to bear it's share Of the
burden brought by the closing order
by paying employees for the time they
are idle.
Plants Exempted.
The plants exempted from q list
prepared by Secretaries Baker and
Daniels are those manufacturing gas
masks, explosives for the government,
rife, pistols, machine guns and small
