CHICAGO. January 17.-Nearly 400,-
600 workers in the Chicago industrial
district. it was estimated today by sta
tisticians. are affected by the order Of
the national fuel administrator, oper-
attve for five days tomorrow. This
number will be largely augmented on
the ten holiday Mondays by employees
of stores. theaters and other business
concerns. The number Of manufactur-
ing plants in the Chicago district which
will shut down in compliance with the
order to conserve coal is approximately
S,857. Besides the city, the Chicago dis
trict includes outlying townships in
Cook county and Calumet and North
townships. in Lake county, and north
ern Indiana. where great steel plants
are located.
The order forestalled a plan which
the state fuel administration was to
announce today making the Saturdays
and Mondays of the next two weeks
holidays. 1t was believed by the local
fuel administration officials that four
days lapse in business would have
been sufficient for Illinois. which has a
fuel shortage of about 100000 tons.
The fuel emergency in Illinois is
not quite as critical as would warrant
this order" State Fuel Administrator
John E. Williams said. IT hope it can
be modified to four days. and 1 believe
that would cover the states actual
