Overproduction Explained
as Reasonfor Garfield Order

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - Fuel
Administrator Garfeld's statement
in explanation of his order follows:
The most urgent thing to be
done is TO send TO the American
forces abroad and 10 the allies the
food and war supplies which they
vitality need War munitions, food,
manufactured articles of every de-
scription, lying in Atlantic ports in
tens of thousands Of tons. where
literally hundreds Of ships, loaded
with war goods for our men and
the allies, cannot take the seas be-
cause their bunkers are empty Of
coal The coal TO send them on
their way is waiting behind the
congested feight that has damned
all terminals.
1T is worse than useless to bend
our energies TO move manufactur-
ing when what we have already
manufactured lies at tidewater con-
costing terminal facilities, tanning
the railroad yards and sidetracks
for long distances back into the
country. No power or earth can
move this freight into the war zone
where il is needed until we sup
ply the ships with fuel.
once the decks are cleared Of
the valuable freight for which our
men and associates in the war now
wait IN vain. then again our ener-
gies and power may be turned TO
manufacturing, more Efficient than
ever. so that a steady and uninter-
rupted stream OF vital Supplies
may be this nations answer to the
allies cry for help.
1T has been excess OF pro6uc-
ton in our war zine speeding up
thar has done so much 10 cause
congestion on our railroads: that

has filled the freight yards to over
flowing; that has cluttered the
docks of our Atlantic ports with
goods waiting to go abroad. At
tidewater the flood Of freight has
stopped. The ships were unable to
complete the journey from our fac
tories to the war depots behind the
fighting line.
Added to this has been difficulty
Of transporting coal for our own
domestic needs. On top Of these
difficulties has come one OF the
most terribly severe winters we
have known in years.
THE wheels were choked and
stopped; zero weather and snow
bound trains; terminals congested;
harbOrs with shipping frozen in,
rivers and canals impossible - II
was useless 10 continue manufac-
ture and pile confusion on top OF
confusion.
"a clear line from the manufac-
turing establishments 10 the sea
board and beyond that was the i'm
perative need. It was like soldiers
marching TO the front. The men
in the foremost ranks must have
room 70 move.
More than a shock was needed
10 make a way through that con-
gestion AZ the terminals and on the
docks so that the aid so vitality
needed by the allies could get
through.
The incidental effect OF this
transportation situation on coal
production has been disastrous.
There is and always has been plen-
~ OF fuel, but il cannot be moved

needed while railroad lines. and
terminals are choked. Throughc .
