authorization was last night given
Charles ]. Columbus. secretary Of the
Retail Merchants Association. by the
fuel administrator and merchants Of
Washington 70 issue the following
statement:
Washington stores VIII be closed to-
morrow as q mark Of patriotism In
response TO the order Of the Federal
Feel Administrator,s and to further
help out In the conservation move
ment there will be no deliveries from
the retail stores to their customers
on Monday.
The closing Of the stores is, how
ever, the purpose Of the National Fuel
Administrators order.
This is the latest information from
Fuel Administrator John l. Weaver,
who has requested me TO make this
public.
It Is in consonance with the inter-
probation of the order that has been
sent out from the National Fuel Ad-
ministration, and is understood to be
the result OF suggestions that have
been made to the Fuel Administration
from all over the country.
Merchants are warned that the max
imum amount Of heat In any store
or part thereof must not be more
than forty degrees. This IL just a
few degrees above freezing, and is
the official temperature that has been
prescribed by the Fuel Administrator.
and which will be enforced by the ad-
ministrator's order in the stores OF
the National Capital in this emer-
gency.
Stores that secure heat from out
side plants or those located in hotels
or residences are expected to shut
of the heat and close doors entering
the heated portion OF the building.
In view of the emphasis on the
words prevent freezing as applied
to store temperatures for Monday. ]
am distinctly of the opinion that the
logical thing to do is for the stores
to close. The express desire of the
government, headed by President Will
son. will thus be practically observed.
and the efficiency OF the Fuel Ad-
ministration's conservation plan there
fore have a practical and real Amer
lean try-out.
Keep the stores closed Monday and
show your patriotism.
There will be no deliveries. Divert
your trucks to the relief Of the freight
situation.

"The United States Fuel Administra-

"At the request of the United States

matter Of increased rates u advised

adopted at the meeting Of the iF'eo-
GRAFTON Of Citizens Associations last
night in the District Building. Mr..
Crawford, as chairman Of the, public
utilities committee. represented the
federation at the recent rate hearings
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
Mr.. Crawford said that the follow
ing disclosures had been made at the
hearing:
''First-That the local company. Is
a subsidiary of a foreign corporation
to which it pays 4 1-2 per cent Of its
earnings for certain contract privi-
leges. engineering advice, ETC."
"Second-The increased utilization
OF the telephone since the beginning
Of the war and the company's in
ability to keep q sufficient force Of
trained operators are alleged by the
company as being responsible for
present conditions, threatening a
complete breakdown in its service.
"Third-That for a long period
of time, and until about a year ago,
the company conducted an exten-
sive campaign both by expensive
advertising and by installation of
telephones for periods as high as
six months, without charge, encour-
aging both the extension and the
utilization OF the telephone as
conservator of labor and a means
Of increased efficiency.
"Fourth-That by the company's
own count recently made in one of
the local exchanges for a short
period of time. the average calling
rate on unlimited residence phones
was found to be far below what
is known to be the calling rate for
similar classes OF service in other
cities"

attempting to stir trouble and dis
sension.
Mr.. Tumulty suggested that grant
ing the theaters' request for the
change from Monday TO Tuesday as
closing day would be granting no
more than was considerate in view
OF the fact that the theaters had
lent themselves freely for the fur
thering OF the liberty loans and all
other war funds. To close the
doors on Monday, when everyone
was out of work, would mean
groups on the corners and every
les open. the crowds will have places
to go to for entertainment. and no
one around the Fuel Administra-
tion can be found who will admit
that he does not go to the movies.
Mr.. Tumulty's suggestions were ap-
proved by the President and then
submitted to DIR. Garfield.
The order says that cabaret shows
(where fuel is required to heat
rooms in which liquor is soId),
must be closed.
Reports are coming in-particu.
larly from Boston-that cabaret
places are planning to circumvent
the order by having liquqor sold
and served in unheated rooms, or
in rooms adjacent to the cabarets.
Such action. it is pointed out by
the Fuel A administration. will re-
suit in a violation of the spirit OF
the order and will result in the
future in drawing such restrictions
SO tight that there can be no eva
sion.
Praise for Patriots.
Administrator Garfield sent the fol-
lowing telegram to all State Fuel Ad-
endorsement of the regulation curtail-
ing the industrial use of coal:
"WiIl you kindly give public express
sion of my appreciation of the public
spirited and patriotic action OF en-
ployers in the State who may deter
mine to pay the wages OF their en-
ployes during the suspension period
specified in the regulation of January
II. They are bearing their share of
the sacrifices which we are called upon
to make to the common good"
In common with others concerned.
Cabinet officials who had not been con-
suited before the Garfield order went
into effect, permitted their ruffled
feelings to subside somewhat, and ef-
forts were made to minimize the dif-
ferences Of opinion that had develop
ed among the Presidents advisers. 1t
was specifically denied at the White
House that any designations were
forthcoming.

wake up. women, it's war"
This is the rally call sent out yes
terday to the women Of America by
Florence King, a woman lawyer OF
Chicago. and president of the wom-
ans Association Of Commerce OF the
United States of America. Women.
she says. might better be driving
trucks than pleasure cars. In a state
ment today she said:
I'VE women must wake up. We
must not wait for broken men 20 be
brought home 10 us from France be-
fore we come to realize and shoulder
our part in this war business.
IT know OF no harder Job for a wom-
an than driving an auto through the
loop in Chicago. But see thousands
Of them doing it. These women must
begin driving tractors in war gardens
sooner or later. A great work is to
be done by them In larger food pro-
duction.
Women will work, IL you'll tell
them what to do. It's not so much
what the men have been doing. Lots
Of women are knitting. Very well.
but many Of them have got to drop
food. enter business and keep the fac
tory wheels moving. have little
patience with able-bodied women who
are content Just to knit. Leave that
to the women with children they can
not leave and to semi-invalids."
Mrs. King is organizing a campaign
along that line, and will be assisted
by the following officers of the as
sociation: Vice presidents, H Anna

traitors in, Indiana. Illinois, Ohio and
other Mississippi Valley States con-
tanned the information that this part
of the country is getting warm This
was taken to mean that quantities of
coal held back by reason of the con-
gested condition Of the railroads were
now getting through to consignees."
Results Achieved Quickly.
DR.. Garfield. it is stated, hit the
crux OF the situation within forty
eight hours of the issuance of his
order, in spite of the protests that
have concentrated on him from
various directions.
While there is relief in the East,
the situation is bad in the Middle
west. New snowstorms have con-
gested that whole region. The To-
cal and State administrators have
received orders to do all they can
to get coal into the tied-up cities.
But the Fuel Administration sees
hope even in this situation, as 1t
will back somewhat the movement
Of coal into the East and thus give
a few days in which to. ease the sit
uation along the coast.
DR.. Garfield issued a new order
yesterday, making also a fuelless
Tuesday. This will apply to thea
ters and other places of amusement.
1t Is done partly because the the
aters appealed to be allowed to keep
going the old custom of Monday as
the opening night; and partly to
anord places OF amusement for the
thousands of persons who will be
put out of their factories and other
working places on Mondays. If the
theaters were closed Monday their
list of patrons necessarily would be
cut down. So now, besides the
present periods of suspension, there
VIII be fuelless Mondays for gen
eral observance and fueiless Tues
days for amusement enterprises up
to March 26. The new order also
includes cabarets.
Mr.. Tumulty Intervenes.
DR.. Garfelds change in the ruling
with reference to theaters was
made largely through the influence
OF Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to
the President, and was looked upon
as psychologically the most effec-
tlys YsRR2n against propagapdists
