10 CLOSE FOR TEN MONDAYS
ALL MANUFACTURING PLANTS
ARE ORDERED TO CLOSE
DOWN FOR FIVE DAYB.
Industry and Business Generally Af
fected by Order Whloh la Estimated
by Garfield to Save 30,000,000 Tone
of Coal.
Washington America's manufac
turing enterprises with but few ex
ceptions In states east of the Mis
sissippi river was ordered by the gov
ernment to suspend operations for five
day* beginning Friday -morning, Jan
nary 18, as a drastic measure for re
lieving the fuel famine.
At the same time, as a further
means of relief, It was directed that
Industry 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 Mon
days not only factories, but saloons,
stores except for sale of drugs and
food, places of amusement and nearly
all office buildings. While the order
does not mention shipyards, it la
known that they will be permitted to
continue operation as usual, although
munitions plants will be closed.
The government's move came entire
ly without warning In an order Issued
by Fuel Administrator Garfield with
the approval of President Wilson pre
scribing stringent restrictions govern
ing the distribution and use of coal.
It was decided upon hurriedly by the
President and government heads as a
desperate remedy for the fuel crisis
and the transportation tangle In the
eastern states. Even munition plants
are not excepted from the closing
down order.
Officials would not discuss the far
reaching effects the action would hav6
oa the Industrial fabric and questlona
as to how the order was to be Inter
preted to me(t specific problems went
unanswered.
The order prescribes a preferential
list of consumers In whose Interest It
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.
Btrlctly government enterprises, ex
cepting factories and plants working
on government contrasts.
Public buildings and necessary gov
ernment, state and municipal require
ments.
Factories producing perishable
foods and foods tor Immediate con
sumption.
Save 30,000,000 Tons.
It was estimated the enforcement of
the order would cave a total of 30,000,-
000 tons of bituminous coal, which
probably Is about half the present
shortage. Tho Indications were that
at the end of the tea of Mon
day's holidays a permanent policy of
restricted consumption would hav*
been determined on.

as a holiday,the first of 10 heatleas
Mondays decreed by the government
to conserve coal md to clear conges
tion from the railroads.
Although the clonlnffcrder, promul

goes no further than to forbid the us*
of fuel for beating, fuel administration
officials expect business to cease and
Director Garfield issued a direct re
quest that nil retail establishment.],
except food and drug stores, close
their doors for the day.
At the same time office buildings
were requested to observe the spirit
as well as the letter of the order and
operate no lights or olevators except
to accommodate the few exempted
persons who ar» housed In their build
ing.
Food stores, which In the original
order were permitted to remain open
only half the day, were grntaed a spe
cial dispensation under which they
may sell goods throughout the day.
It was said that the use of fuel for
lighting buildings and for operating
their elevators probably could be pre
vented during the remainder of tho
Monday holidays. In drawing the or
der this was overlooked and thousands
of telegrams have reached -ffie fusl
administration asking for a ruling.
Whila reports to the fuel adminis
tration told of an increased movement
of coal to householders and to ships
under the three days oper'atlon of tho
five-day factory closing order, severo
weather held back the clearing of
freight congestion, which was one of
the chief purposes sought. At thj
office of the director general of rail
roads 4t was said that there was little
hope for material Improvement in traf
fic conditions until the weather moder
ated.
Moving Empty Coal Cars.
Efforts were centralized on the
movement ot empty coal cars back to
the mines, and to the transportation
of bunker coal to the Atlantic sea
board. A total of 160,000 tons of bun
kar coal had arrived or was en route
for North Atlantic ports while 100,000
tons had been delivered on the south
ern seaboard and 200,000 tons more
was on Its way. At one southern port
80,000 tons was delivered to ships that

TWO BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS
MAY CREATE WAR COUNCIL SIM
! ILAR TO THOSE OF ENGLAND
AND FRANCE.
I
One Proposes War Council of Five
Members and the Other Would Cen-
I trallze Munitions Control In a Dires
| tor of Munitions.
| Washington.—Framlrfg of legislation
contemplating drastic charges In the
government's war machinery, Includ
ing creation of an American'war coun
cil similar to those of England ana
Prance and a director of munitions,
was begun by the senate military com
mittee.
| Two bills—one proposing the war
! council of five members, Including
the secretaries of war and navy and
I three civilians oppolnted by the Prej-
I ldent, and a second to centralize muni
tions control In a director of munitions,
were prepared by a sub-committee con
sisting of Chairman Chamberlain and
Senators Hitchcock and Wadsworth.
Chairman Chamberlain announced
that the committee virtually had
agreed upon the two bills, In lieu of
his measure for a separate department
of munitions with a new cabinet mem
ber. The attitude of the administra
tion toward them has not been disclos
ed. President Wilson and Secreitarr
Baker opposed the original Chamber
lain bill.
Independent of Cabinet.
The plan of the committee for the
war council is to have It under the
President, but wholly Independent of
the cabinet. "It would sit with and
advise the President In forming broad
policies, similar to the British war
cabinet and the French war ministry."
said Chairman Chamberlain. "It wou'.d
give co-ordination now lacking In cen
tral direction of all government's war
operations."
The bill to establish a director of
munitions is modeled after the Brit
ish law. The committee proposes that
the director should be subordinate
only to the war council and the Pres
ident and not the cabinet, taking over
many supply functions of the war,
navy, shipbuilding and other branches.
The director would have control of all
war supplies, their production, pur
which rejected proposals to call the
head of the new agency the "director
of war Industrie*."

committee and written Into the re
drafted bill by the sub-committea,
The committee received from Direc

defense suggestions for centralizing
munitions and war industrial control.

1 The crisis in Austria, arising from
l " the discontent of the people over the
*" continuation of the war, the scarcity
of food and a general desire for peace,
f has resulted in the resignation of the
w Austrian cabinet.
For weeks there has been bitter op
position to the government on the
9 part of the people and during the last
( few days this has resulted in nation
f wide strikes and some disturbances,
j ' The Internal strife in Austria, ap
j parently due chiefly to war-weariness,
r . the high cost of living and the dls
» location generally of economic life,
j ! continues to be of absorbing interest.
i. Although the exact situation resulting
P from the troublous times is not glv-
I en in the extremely meager details
j available, the dispatches that have
crept through are Indicative of a slt
. I uatlon that will require skillful hand
-9 ljng by the authorities again to bring
the dissatisfied populace into a state
r of tractability.
No newspapers in Vienna were per
| mitted last Saturday, The only pub
-1 licatlon allowed was a single sheet
.. bulletin, which told some of the de
s tails of the nation-wide strike and the
r developments in the peace discussions
at Brest-Litovsk. As usual, the hand
of the German propagandist was to
5 be seen in this one-sheet publication,
for the chief announcement in it was
'* from the German social democracy of
" Austria. This lay stress on last year's
declaration of the Austro-Hungarlan
I foreign minister, Count Czerin, that
the central powers were ready to
make an immediate general peace,
without annexations or indemnities.
' • Evidently, however, this statement
a failed to placate the strikers in Vi
enna, who sent a large delegation to
, wait upon the food minister to inform
' him of conditions among the work
ing classes and to impress on him that
their desire for peace overshadowed
'' and took precedence over all other
,_ demands.
, endeavoring to ascertain what are the
| prospects for a cessation of hostilities
and a return to normal. So insistent
I has been their efforts In this direc-
II tlon that the Hungarian premier has
' b«tn forced to announce in the lower
'* house of parliament that the govern
'• ment adhered to the principle of
t peace without annexation.
