day began consideration of the APP

they be allowed to keep their places
open on Mondays and shut down on
Tuesdays in order that persons who
are unable to work can attend the

ing up in the present crisis is the
demand by labor, which has been
rendered idle Though no fault of its
own, for compensation. When the
suspension order was under consid-
Grafton. D.. Garfield expressed the
hope that employers would accept
the burden OF loss resulting from the
shutdown. and would pay their men
for all time lost. Almost immediate
~ from every section of the country
came reports that, while the smaller
establishments might do so, the lar
ger plants were almost a unit in de.
claring that such action would be un.
wise. Since then, on every occasion
that he has made any statement deal
ing with the situation Dr. Garfield
has urged that labor should not suf-
fer. That cry today was being taken
up by labor union leaders throughout
the country 1t is certain that sharp
demand will be made by the unions
that they be paid for all time lost,
and if this is not done, it seems GER
tain that strikes will follow. Some
members of congress, who are unal-
terably opposed to the order of Fuel
Director Garfield, have suggested
that wage-earners losing wages
through the closing down, through
no fault Of their own, of their places
OF employment. be paid out of the
public treasury. A resolution to that
effect now is under consideration in
the house, but there is not the slight
est chance that it will go through.
Secretary of Labor William p. Will
son today directed all of his repre-
sentatives throughout the country
to watch this new situation very
closely, and to intervene everywhere,
