10 monday HOLIDAYS, THE FIRST
ONJAN.2S ,ORDEREDBY GARFIELD
80, ,0O0, 900 Tons Of Coal Will Be Saved, Admins
traitor Enthusiastically So Acute Even
War Contracts Work Must Halt
ONLY FOOD PLANTS MAY KEEP IN OPERATION

manufacturing enterprises, with but
few exceptions, in all states east of
Mississippi river, were ordered by
the government tonight to suspend
operations for five days, beginning
Friday morning, as drastic measure
for relieving the fuel famine.
AT the same time, as a further
means of relief, it was directed that
industries and business generally, in
cluding all normal activities that re-
quire heated buildings, observe as a
holiday every Monday for the next
ten weeks. This will close down on
Mondays not only factories, but
saloons, stores Except for the sale of
drugs and food,) places Of amuse-
ment and nearly all Office buildings.
While the order does not mention
shipyards, il is known that they will
be permitted to continue operations
'As usual, although munitions plants
will be closed.
The governments move came en-
tirely without warning in an order
issued by Fuel Administrator Gar
field with the approval of President
Wilson, prescribing stringent restric-
tons governing the distribution and
use of coal. II was decided upon
hurriedly by the president and by the
government heads as a desperate
remedy for the fuel crisis and the
transportation tangle in the eastern
states.
Even munition plants are not ex-
cepted from the closing down order.
Officials tonight would not discuss
the far-reaching effects the action
would have upon the industrial fab
ric, and questions as to how the order
was to be interpreted to meet specific
problems went unanswered.
ORDER OF COAL DELIVERY.
The order prescribes a preferential
list Of consumers in whose interest
1t was drawn. These users will get
coal in the following order:
Railroads.
Household consumers, hospitals.
charitable institutions and army and
navy cantonments.
Public utilities. telephone and tele-
graph plants.
Strictly government enterprises.
excepting factories and plants work
ing on government contracts.
Public buildings and necessary
state and municipal re-
quirements.
Factories producing perishable
foods and foods for immediate con-
Announcement Of the provisions of
the order was made by Fuel Admin
isirator Garfield; after white house
conference which was attended also
by Secretary Baker and Daniels.
The order is expected TO 60 far to
wards clearing choked auu cungested |
railroad tracks and terminals. 1t !
was regarded tonight as likely that
Secretary McAdoo. director general of
might declare a railroad
embargo against the shipment Of the
product OF plants closed down IL
necessary further to relieve the roads.
The critical coal situation is blamed
on the unusually severe weather Of
he last week, which has made il i'm
possible in many Instances to move
;oal at all and which has cut Oft the
'uel supplies OF whole cities. Off
,ials who worked out the curtailment
plan came to the conclusion. they
aid tonight, that the homes must be
<ept warm at all costs.

the Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States issued a statement crit
icizing the fuel restriction order, but
announcing that as il had been issued,
ut is clearly the duty ofbusiness men
to do all in their power to carry out
its spirit and purpose"
While storm OF protest ragged at
the capitol and among business in
terests throughout the nation, Fuel
Administrator Garfield signed the
order closing down manufacturing
plants east of the Mississippi river for
five days beginning at midnight to-
night and stopping virtually all bu-i.
ness activity on Monday for a period
OF ten weeks beginning Jan. II.
With the full support of President
Wilson, the fuel administrator attach
ed his signature to the mandate as the
senate was preparing to vote on a
resolution, which il passed twenty
minutes later, requesting him to post
pone action for five days. DIR. Gar
field would not comment on the
senate action, but il was stated at the
fuel administration that the resolution
would have no effect upon the order.
Congress was in an uproar from
the time il assembled until il ad-
journed tonight The senate resolu-
ton was passed so to 10 after many
senators had denounced the order as
unwise and unnecessary. In the
house objection prevented considera-
tion OF the resolution, but il was the
subject of an acrimonious debate.
DR.. Garfield was called before the
senate manufactures committee, which
has been investigating the coal short
age, to explain the necessity of the
order.
After leaving the capital, DR.. Gar
field hurried to his Office and after a
telephone conversation with the White
house, called his legal aides to put the
order in final form.
Hours were spent in stormy debate
in both senate and house, members
vehemently characterizing the fuel
administrations step as entailing ma
tional calamity" and industrial pa.
ralysis. "
PLAN APPEAL TO PRESIDENT.
Partisan lines were largely disre-
garded, particularly in the senate, and
when il became apparent that the or
der was going into effect in spite of
the senate request, plans were laid
for submitting of an appeal directly
to President Wilson tomorrow.
Issuance of the orders tonight was
a great discourtesy to the senate"
said Senator Hitchcock, author of the ,
resolution adopted, "but do not see |
how congress can now act to suspend /
their operation. hardly see what
farther step can be taken by congress
except by appeal to the president, in
time TO stay their execution.
Suspension or repeal Of that part of
The Lever food control law. under
which Fuel Administrator Garfield
acted, was one Of the proposals con-
sidered by members Of congress, Sen
itor Hitchcock said tonight, and might
be brought up tomorrow. although
he necessary bill or resolution hardly
could be passed by both houses in
lime to have any effect.

her eyes frighten me. They are al
