GARFIELD GIVES HIS
REASON FOR ACTION
MOST IMPORTANT TO SEND FOOD
AND SUPPLIES ACROSS
SEAS, HE SAYS.
The Coal Needed to Send Them Away
is Waiting Behind the Congested
Freight That Has damned
All Terminals.

Washington. Fuel Administrator
Garfield's statement, in explanation OF
his order closing down the industries
east of the Mississippi river on Janu-
airy IS to %, inclusive, and also on
each Monday beginning January 2s
and continuing up to and including
March %, follows:
"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.
War munitions, food, manufactured
articles of every description, 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
because their bunkers are empty. of
coal. The coal to send them on their
way is waiting behind the congested
freight that has damned all terminals.
Ships Need Fuel.
1T is worse than useless to bend
our energies to more manufacturing
when what we have already manufac-
tured lies at tidewater congesting ter
minal facilities, jamming the railroad
yards and side tracks for long dis
tances back into the country. No pow
er on earth can move this freight into
the war zone where it is needed until
we supply the ships with fuel.
"Once the docks are cleared of the
valuable freight for which our men
and associates in the war now want in
vain, then again our energies and
power may be turned to manufacture
ing, more efficient than ever, so that
steady and uninterrupted stream of
vital supplies may be this nations an
swer to the allies cry for help.
Excess Production Blamed.
at has been excess of production,
in our wartime speeding up, that has
done so much to cause congestion on
our railroads; that has filled the
freight yards to overlooking; that has
ciuttered the docks of our Atlantic
ports with goods waiting to go abroad. |
At tidewater the food of freight has
stopped. The ships were unable to
complete the journey from our fac
tories to the war depots behind the
added to this has been the diff |
fully of transporting coal for our own
domestic needs. On top of these diff |
culties has come one of the most ter
ribly severe winters we have known in
years.
Weather Works Havoc.
1.-THE wheels were 7 choked and
stopped; zero weather and snowbound
trains; terminals congested: harbOrs
with shipping frozen in; rivers and
canals unpassable-it was useless to
continue manufacture and pile con-
fusion on top of confusion.
"A clear line from the manufacture
ing establishments to the seaboard and
beyond that was the imperative need.
1t was like soldiers marching to the
'front.' The men in the foremost ranks
must have room to move.
More than n shock was needed to
make a way through that congestion
It the terminals and on the docks so
hat the aid so vitality needed by the
lilies could get through.
