According to Mr. McAdoo. one 0f
the great tasks confronting the
American people, is that of improving
and making thoroughly efficient their
railroad transportation system.
Fuel Administrator Garfield, ey-
planning the drastic fuel order, says:
The Most urgent thing to be done is
to send TO the American forces abroad
and to the allies the food and war
supplies which they vitality need. Var
munitions, food manufactured arti-
cles OF every description, lying in At
lantic ports in tens of thousands OF
tons. where literally hundreds Of sA.ps
loaded with war goods for our nien
and the allies cannot take the seas
because their bunkcrs are empty Of
coal. The coal to send them or thei"
way is waiting behind the congeSted
fre.gat that has jammed all terHi-
nails"
Says Food Administrator Garfield:
This is war, Whatever the cost, we
must pay. so that in the face Of the
enemy there can never be the re-
proach that we held back from doing
our full share. Those ships laden
with our supplies of food for men and
food for guns must have coal and put
to sea-"
The new order in the coal situation
was decided upon hurriedIy by the
president and government heads as a
desperate remedy for the fuel crisis
and the transportation tangle in the
Eastern states.
Inclusion of war industries among
those to which fuel will be denied
caused some surprise, but fucl Off
cials explained that war plants have
produced more material than trans
portation systems could handle.
While the government order for
business suspension does not mention
ship yards, it is known that they will
be permitted to continue operations as
usual, although munitions plants will
be closed.
While even munitions plants are not
excepted from the closing down order,
a preferential list Of consumers in
whose interest it was drawn is pre-
scribed
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
gave the senate q very gloomy picture
Of the position of the United States
and her allies in emphasizing his plea
for radical speeding up of the ship
building program.
According to Senator McCumber Of
North Dakota, the United States must
send 100000 soldiers to balance the
manpower of the central powers, and
100000 would be needed to make
the Germans retreat.
According to Director General Nc
Adoo, all state railway laws and regu-
lations will remain in full effect under
government operation of the railroads.
The recent ruling of Director Gener-
al McAdoo in the railroad situation,
disposes of the contention that under
government operations the railroads
were not subject to either intrastate
rates or other state regulations.

Women For War Work

More and more, as the war pre-
gram progresses, is the Government
depending upon women to perform
the tremendously increased volume
of work in the civil branches. The
force of civilian employees in Wash
ington, D. c., increased from 3d.
900 to approximately 10000 during
the first year of our participation N
the war. Of this increase of 10000
more than $4,000 are women. Wom-

where thousands of mechanics and
laborers are employed in shipbuild-

and other war material. Women are
not availble for employmet in trades

their services are being utilized il
every way that is practicable.
