Y. 14-2t COAL EMBARGO ON Dr. Garfield Signs Order to Shut Down Factories to Conserve Fuel. Washington, Jan..17.—Fuel Admin- istrator Garfield tonight signed the order, in preparation since yesterday, closing down manufacturing plants east of the Mississippi River for five days beginning at midnight tonight and stopping virtually all business. activity on every Monday for a period of ten weeks beginning January 21. With the full support of President Wilson, the fuel administrator at- tached his signature to the mandate as the Senate was preparing to vote on a resolution which it adopted twenty minutes later, requesting him to postpone action for five days Doctor Garfield would not comment on the Senate action, but it was stat- ed at the Fuel Administration the res- olution would have no effect upon the order. Seldom has Washington seen a day of more stirring activity. An aston- ished Congress. paid little attention to any other subject and officials generally, few of whom had known the order was imminent, talked of lit- tle else, Doctor Garfield’ was the storm center in the morning, when his office was swamped with — tele- phone calls, in the afternoon when he was haled before a Senate com- mittee and tonight when he finally issued the order. . The order as signed and. sent out tonight to state fuel administraters for enforcement contained but few changes from the form of an abstract jgiven out ’by the Fuel Administration last night. Nor did it clear up to any great extent the confusion re- sulting from lack of detailed explana- tion, ‘ The order prescribes a preferen- tial list of consumers in whose inter- est it was drawn. These users will get coal in the following order: ds, household — consumers, Rai nj hospitals, ble it utions and army and nayy cantonments; public utilities, telephone and telegraph ctly government — enter- cepting factories and plants wor on government contracts; public ‘build ngs and necessary gov- ernment, st and municipal re- quir factories producing per- ishable foods and foods for immedi- ate consumption, Washington, Jan. 19—It was defi- nitely ruled today that all laundries Mure exempt from the closing order on Mondays as well as during the 5-day closing period.
