Movement for Repeal of Section Indications were today that an at- empt might be made in the senate 0 bring about the repeal of that sec- fon Jf the food law under which the rder was issued, but many believed hat any action in this direction would too late. Coal operators upply industries will not be shut own. Orders for the fuel admin- stration instruct them to ship their pal as usual, consigning it to state el administration with drafts at- iched. The government will buy all oal mined where industries are for- idden to receive it. A sum of $25,- 00,000 will be set aside for the pur- ase. Food industries without exception Il be permitted to operate on full inie, according to an interpretation of he order made public by Mr. Hoover. “It is my understanding,” he said, hat the order does not include rain’ elevators, grain mills, bakeries, ock vards, meat packing establish- ents, cold storage plants, sugar fac- hries or any other form of the food dustry.” Support of the measure, despite the Jact that organized labor would be one ¢ the sufferers, has been announced ly Shmuel Gompers, president of the merfcan Federation of Labor. He xpressed doubt that the five-day sus- msion was the best way to meet the tuation, and suggested that all in- ustries be placed on an eight-hour ay basis. Announcement that the use of all ‘e of fuel—wood, oil and natural as well as coal, would be prohi- jited, caused comsiderable confusion day and serlous efforts are promised have wood, oil, natural gas and ater power users exempted. be under contract to Vew York Confused, But Patriotic. New York, Jan. 18.—New York to- i entered upon the five-day period industrial suspension somewhat be- Jerid because of lack of authori- tive information concerning details the aperation of the coal conserva- on orders, but determined to accept htrlotically whatever hardships may hme. Local fuel ; thousands je to make administrators, besieged of inquiries, were un- definite interpretations many angles of the problem and uch _confusion resulted. Nat the ast M the problems was that of en- ng the orders. Albert H. Wiggin, fate administrator, admitted he was t sure Who would insist that the lders were obeyed. He said that ccess of the plan rested largely on e conscience of the peaple and he As confldent there would be very tle trouble in carrving out orders. Wiglle merchants’ organizations ined in a mighty chorus of protest fore the order was promulgated at hshington there was a noticeable ence of criticism when the decree ame effective. fabor leaders, while deploring the ers, asserted thelr loyalty to the ernment and made arrangements ajge funds for the Telief of those rown out of work. A million work- . will lose $10,000,000 during tho od heré alone, according to somn the estimates. The needle trades ag @lass will suffer the most from tho spension, it was said, it being esti- bted that fully 500,000 women and s are omployed in this work. hers affected, according to labor urd®, are 4,000 carpenters, 60,000 Lrkcers in the garment trades, 12,000 hinists, 12.000 cigarmalkers, 20,000 ks and 7,000 brewery workers. n Wall street, sentiment was said be strong in somo quarters for ving the emploves laid off by the itdown. The attitude of leading nkers and industrial leaders was t of standing by the government. in whose personal losses will be at justified the government's ac- n and urged that every sacrifice mede to carry out the military bds ‘of the country.

Philadelphia, Jan. 18.—Approxi- mately 2,000,000 workers in Ponnsyl- vania will be thrown out of employ- ment during the five-day shut down of industries affected by the federal fuel administrator’s order, according to statistics compiled by the state de- partment of labor and industry at Farrisburg and 1,500,000 workers will be similarly affected on the Monday holiday The approximate loss in wages was placed at $114,000,000. Many of the department stores and manufacturing interests here an- nounced today that they would pay their employes during tho enforced suspension. New England’s Mind Troubled. Boston, Jan. 18.+Industrial ac- tivity throughout New England was suspended generally today amid great confusion in the minds of factory owners and employes as to the appli- cation of Tuel Administrator Gar- field's closing order to individual cases. That the shut down was not complete was due to the ruling last night that a. number of manufacturing plants working on material needed for government use were exempt from the provisions of the order and that it did not effect machinery operated by water or hydro electric power. The latter ruling was of particular value in Maine, as a considerable pro- portion of its industries uses water power. Most of the shops permitted to operate because they did not de- pend on coal for fuel conducted bus- iness as usual. In the case of plants engaged in government contracts the exemptions were announced so late that it was impossible to get word to many employes who, before the close of business yesterday, had been mnoti- fied that the shops would not be open today. However, all means were util- ized to summon the workers, and al- though short-handed, most of these factories were running today. The public depends upon newspa- pers for information as to the effect of the order upon their business and many appealed to the newspaper offi- ces for the solving of perplexing prob- lems. A number of plants kept up work in shipping rooms and other de- partments which could be operated without the use of power The general holiday increased the burden of the railroads, many of the workers taking advantage of their un- expected vacation to come here. New England railroads did not change their schedules, except to cancel some trains used solely by employes of fac- tories which were closed. The British and Canadian recruit- ing mission expected to profit by the closing of industrial plants and in preparation for a rush of British sub- jects to enlist, four non-commissioned officers were summoned from Quebec to assist in the recruiting. A telegram protesting against an order that permits saloons to remain open while industries are closed was sent to Fuel Administrator Garfleld today by Mrs. Katherine Lont Steven- son, president of the Massachusetts | Women's Christian Temperance Union. Chicago Wage Loss $17,000,000. Chicago, Jan. 18.-—More than $1,- 000,000,000 in capital and some 500, 000 workers are idle today In this district as a result of the conserva- tion order of the federal fued admin- istration, according to figures com- piled by commercial bodies from the latest census reports. The estimated loss of wages by workers in the district during the en- forced heatless five day period be- ginning today and the ten consecutive Mondays is $17,000,000. Business men and manufacturers apparently were readv to observe the spirit as well as the letter of the or- der. Missouri Has State Order Also. St. Louis, Jan. 18.—Missouri today prepared to observe the mandate of its fuel administrator curtailing amusements of every nature and im- posing restrictions upon practically every consumer of coal in the state. The order was designed by | Fuel Administrator Crossley as an aid to yesterday's drastic regulations by the federal fuel administration, and is aimed to prevent an inclusion of Missouri in the restrictions placed upon industries east of the Mississippi river.

This is a tri- angular sector originally cleared of the enemy when the whole region was in- undated by opening the canals. But recently low water has permitted tho enemy to renew his incursions almost to Capo Sile and the Venetian la- goons. Enemy patrols dugouts and posts in the lagoons Agenzia Zulana, just across the river from Capo Sile, which commands the canal running to Porto Grande and the region back of Venice During the early s of the weck the Italian navy had bombarded the dugouts and destroyed the bridge on which the cn- emy was attempting to cross Agenziu The enemy made repeated atiempts to enlarge his pasition, but was repulsed Stung by the repeated checks, the enemy brought his full force to bear yesterday morning. They were met by chosen Italian troops from the Gren- adier and Bersaglieri brigades. The Italian defense was led hy the Bersas- lieri, who had asked that privilege in order to answer the scurrilous pam- phlets which had been thrown into the Italian line The Bersaglieri hewed to the enemy’s support line. The fight was stubborn far the first two hours, but the enemy gradually gave ground as fresh ranks of Bersaglieri, cheer. ing and singing patriotic sones, threw themselves into the struggle. The enemy was finally pushed back from the positions he bhad ained. One of the favorite ruses used hy the enemy was for a party of troops ta advance with their up, calling “kamerad.”” When would be close to the Italian lines they would rush forward suddenly with hand grenades, but to be mowed down as they advanced by the Ttalian ma- chine gun fire. The fizhting through- out was at close quarters. Heavy losses were sustained by the enemy and the Ttalians captured 150 prisoners. The battleground was cov ered with Austrian dead and burial parties were busy thraughout the night. Many instances of bravery stand out. In one instance an Italian officer and five men invaded a trench, took two machine guns, killed all the Aus- trian gunners and brought back the guns, The Ttallan success gave a serious check to the enemy effort to improve his position near Venice.
