IitN nave lp every oiIitF SdtIIllce lll- yolyed in the war. We are upon a war footing and l am confident that the people of The United States are willing to observe the same sort of discipline that might be involved in the actual conflict itself"
 Dr. Garfield's statement ompha- sizes the railroad congestion which he declares is threatening the food sup ply points to the necessity for nov ing ships to Europe and carries an appeal 10 capital to bear it's share of the burden brought by the closing or der by paying employees for the time they are idle.
 The statement follows.
 The order suspendins temporarily tae operation of indus rial plants in portions of .he United States Is dras- .t.c Yes, War is drastic This war
 s the most extensive and involve, greater sacrifices han any war here tofore The American people, led by the president entered this War de hberately The ware stalking every lA'tttE l'l LII i'tll lllfHN4ilA VI q Alt-tll ideal and the ideal is practical We know that democracy must be made a 'Icahty at home as we'll as abroad, that it's benefits must be shared by all. and ifs sacrifices borne by no single class
 Capital and labor are embarked in his war because all Americans are In it. and the American spirit cries out against least suggestion that the burden be shifted Co the backs of any on eclass, least of all of labor, for labor has less financial ability to meet the prolonged hardships of war than capital. We are realizing the truth now as never before that capital and labor arc not two, but one. Their problems present merely two aspects .of the same vital question. The an selfish and patriotic impulses and the calm look ahead will lead lhe coun- .try to approve of the order noN in force.
 Industry is in an unba,aGced con dition. We lack many essentials food, clothing fuel We have piled up enormous stores of things not es- sential to lfa but very essential to War We have pied up so high op Nlr docks ami in our storehouses that tAe ships available cannot carry them away as fast as they pile up For lack ot bunker coal held back by traffic oousestion the numaer Of ships our harbors increases meuacingIy
 Iae food supply is tare1ened to an even erGa,er degree than tie fet supply This condition is in large pau due to the congestion hat at many points hold He loaded cars in its grip
 ITO single out industries not en- gagei to some extent in war mau- u.aoluse is 10 select ndus,rie- which in the a2gregat ewil bring relief only if suspended udcfnniey TO re- QuIre all industries eNce.t u com paratiyely smal part ID cease for few days quickly omplIshed the desired rcs8 and permanently m Jures none The order as it stands puts ali industry on an equal foot ing, fay bring none, and avoiding m fair competition, pJt this reason alone is not sufficient This reason plus the fa-ct that ae order will pW coal in the empty bins oi the people will save coal will aid in breaking uH congestion of traffic, ana in fur uishine an adequate supply of coal to the people who need it. and Q the ships which cannot sail without it.. These are sus icienr reason and jus tifv the order
 -Ouly those industries producing necessary war materials tha. can be rromptly be delivered are pHrmitte1 to operate during the susp2us.on period TO allow industries with coa. supplics on hand to operate would al- low many 3f the leas essentials D continue. wuue some of the ma,, es- sontlals would be compelled '1 stop. Moreover. 10 allow those fortunate enoueh 10 possess coal pile 'o cou- fuue. would result in 1ud.ra t) the traffic congestion and unless tnF are se suspended at d later petind the needed sayin- ag cou,4 optior ot coal would not resu.
