C., Feb. 2. Abandonment of the heatless Mon- day program after its enforee- ment next Monday was predicted 9 tonight at the close of a prolong: | ed conference between Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield and Director General MeAdoo, A final decision was not. reach- ed and a further conference will be held Tuesday, but there was every indication that both offie- ials as well as President Wilson, who has been consulted, feel that the pupose sought can be accom- plished from now on by continu- ance of preferential coal transpor- tation and distribution and by rail- road embargoes now in force. Garfield’s Statement. At the conclusion of the conference tonight, the following statement was issued jointly by Dr. Garfield and Mr. McAaoo. “We have had under consid f | eration the question of suspesnd- ing after Monday next the Monday closing order. We have not reach- ed a final conclusion about it. We | shall have another conference on Tuesday next when the results of | Monday closings and of the rail- | road embargoes up to that time | can be fully considered, and shall | | be able to make an announcement | | next week as to whether or not | a suspension of the Monday clos- | ing order maye be made.” i | | | | \ | | | | + “Heatless Holidays” Abandoned Ten heatless Monday were decreed} by the fuel administration January 17} as a measure to save coal and to re-| lieve railroads transportation, Next} Monday will be the third observed.

C., Feb. 2.—Pros- pects of an early agreement in con- gress on the administration railroad bill brightened Friday when members of the senate interstate commerce committee returned from a_ white house conference with word that the president did not desire to have the interstate commerce commission de- prived of its rate making powers un- riers.

The small stores, too, have opposed it, as have the owners of office buildings. Theatres) succeeded in having the day as ap plied to them changed to Tuesday. Reason for Decision. It was stated officially tonight that the reason a final decision was not reached was because complete reports have not as yet been received show- ing the exact results of the five day closing, and the effects of operation of the embargoes to date. Both Mr. McAdoo and Dr. Garfield, are of the opinion, however, it was said, that since the coal problem is largely one of transportation, embargoes will bring results without continuance of} the Monday closing. Nine days en- forcement of the embargoes, it is held, has improved the situation as much as would an observance of nine heatles Mondays, although bad weather condi-| tions have sloyed up coal movements. Transportation Troubles End. | Officials of the railroad administra- | tion believe a return of good weather} “will speedily restore the transporta- tion system and that this will solve| the fuel problem. They say that the Monday closing has disorganized in- dustrial activities and actually has hampered railroad operation by mak-| ing it impossible to load and unload cars promptly. ‘At a conference here next Monday of thirteen state fuel administrators, called today, Dr. Garfield expects to get complete information on the coal situation and to learn the exact ef- fects of tne closing order. THREE MILE LIMIT South Dakota Towns Ordered to Ob- serve Heatless Mondays. Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. 2.—Upon in- structions from Dr. H. A. Garfield, fed- eral fuel administrator, W. G. Bickel- hone f.el admin sureor fer South Dakota, Friday issued orders that business firms anl public institutions in towns within three miles of the (Minnesota border must shut down on heatless Mondays as Minnesota towns are required to under Ur. Garfield's order. Ten South Dakota towns, White Rock, Bigstone, Gary, Elkton, Ward, Sherman, Garretson, Booge, Valley Springs and Benclare are af- fected by the order. Five of these towns are in Minnehaha county. WARNING ISSUED. Amsterdam, Feb. 2.—The commend- er-in-chief of Brandenburg province, which includes Berlin, has issued a warning to the population against dis- turbances, which he announces will be suppressed, according to a semi-official statement from Eerlin Friday. MUNITION PLANT AND BXRCUTIVE OFFICES OF RAILROAD AFIRE Portland, Maine, Feb. 2—The offices of the Maine Central Railroad were threatened with destruction by fire discovered shortly after midnight. While the greater portion of the city's fire department was. struggling with this blaze another fire was discovered at Portland Company's shops, a large maniifacturing plant at the opposite war and authorizing the president to initiate rates subject to appeal to the| interstate commerce commission. This | proposal, which was adopted by a} vote of 11 to 4, was a compromise of | the committee's differences and elimi- nates the most serious obstacle te} prompt enactment of the measures. | Difficulties Ironed Out | The agreement was prepared by a| sub-committee consisting of Senators Robinson and Townsend appointed to} iron out the difficulties over the ng of a period for government oper and opposition to giving the pr power to fix rates. Those voting in} favor of the compromises were Sena tors Smith, Chairman, of South Car | olina; Pomerene# Meye Robinson, Saulsbury, Thompson, Lewis and Un-! derwood, democ , and Townsend,! Watson and Kellogg, republicans. | Those opposed were Senators Gore,} democrat, and Cummins, Poindexter and LaFollette, republicans. | Before the agreement was submitted | to the committee, it was taken to the} white house by Chairman Smith and{ Senator Underwood. i As Finally Approved. As finally approved the Dill will! provide that government control of | transportation shall continue for eigh teen months after the war terminates instead of “until congress shall there after order otherwise,” as originally drawn, or for one year as provided by Senator Watson’s amendment adopted earlier in the week. It gives the presi dent authority to initiate rates, as the railroads are empowered to do unde: the existing laws, bu tif either the carriers or shippers object, an appeal can be taken to the committee which continues during the period of federal control instead of during the war as has been suggested. Report Next Week The committee continued its consid eration of other features of the bill. Chairman Smith hopes to be able to report to the senate early next week. Discussion of the bill continued to | day in the house committee and wnile there was some opposition to any lim- itation of govermnent operations, most of the members seemed to favor a pro- posal that the government control be Hmited to two years after radication of the treaty of peace. It was unani- mously agreed that the committee vote by 3 p. m. tomorrow on the ques- tion.

C., Feb. 2.—Unwar- ranted price increase in wheat flour substitutes will not be permitted. The| food administration Friday gave warn- | ing to dealers that they must not take advantage of temporary short- ages in cereals brought on by tue heavy demand the new baking regula- tions has caused. Many complaints reached Food Ad- ministrator Hoover Friday that dealers in the substitutes already have begun} to lift their prices. “Mills of the country” said Mr. Hoover, “are prepared to meet the greater demand of /housewives and bakers for other cereals during the next few months. Lack of transpor- tation is the only factor that will stand in the way of proper distribution throughout the country.
