CLOSING DOWN OUR INDUSTRIES
IS NOT SPEEDING. UP THE WAR
Stand Them Both Against the Wall - - By Hal Coffman
Copyright HIT. International News Service-
FUEL ADMINISTRATOR GARFIELP will be known in;
the years to come as the roan who paralyzed the in-
- lustries of the United States for five days in the midst
of warfare and stopped them one day each week for ten
weeks thereafter. This is the most memorable event in
modern history. It may be a blessing as president Wilson
s3 Mr. Garfield believe or it may be a calamity as the
majority of congress and most business men believe; brae
alone can prove which it is hot of its importance there
can be no doubt.
This order leaves our southwest untouched or prac-
tically so for indirect effects are not to be counted in a
great happening like this but it does strike vitally the
Mir mnntm east of the Mississippi and the states of
Minnesota and Louisiana west of the big river. In that
great area is 90 percent of the manufacturing power of the
coantry. It is the region of teeming cities bustling towns
and thickly planted smokestacks. It is where things are
xar.de and in the five-day period in which we now are the
cities are stilled as on holidays and smoke is pouring out
from the smokestacks of only those factories engaged in the
manufacture of food and munitions.
Five million wage earners not counting the salaried
office forces are affected according to the best estimates
anS their urcinn amount to at least 315.000000 a day
or $75000000 for the five-day period though one day
jean be deducted tor sunoay. eome lactones wont amuu
shifts but most do not. In Philadelphia alone 600000
workmen are left idle in New York city and suburbs
ismmn snr1 Boston more than 100.000. Pittsburg and
Detroit have their armies of workmen all left idle by the
fuel administrator's order and there are many other cities
small and Urge to bring np the total Hot only factories
but department stores and other mercantile establishments
not engaged in the sale of food theaters office buildings
newspapers and enterprises of many kinds are affected.
Por the east it is a dead stopping of the wheels of progress.
The order is due Mr. Garfield informed the senate com-
mittee on coal investigation to the shortage of coal and
the even greater shortage of cars in which to haul the
He" estimated the coal shortage at 35000.000 tons.
Industries were halted in order that householders public
utilities and ships might receive supplies and that fuel
might ft accumulated for the factories. He made the order
elastic enough to provide that permits might be granted to
shipyards and such ether necessary industries as might
fee specified to pperate. Everything else with the various
s-enHmn Above 'noted was closed down tight.
Is it necessary? There is a sharp division cn that point.
The fuel administrator believed so ana ne enaenuy re-
flected the mature opinion of president Wilson and bis
-9-rfr:r Trie steadfastness with which he stood by the
order he issued even against the raost powerful pressure
made it certain he was sincere ana mat ne was suuiuy
Sacked by the executive branch pf the government
In tie debate of last Thursday the daj preceding the
effective date of the order and when it might have been
rescinded and a shutdown averted the country saw a bitter;
conflict between congress and tie business interests on the
one hand and tie executive department of the government
cn the other. Washington was almost overwhelmed by an
avalanche of telegrams against the order People were el-
ated argumentative or vehement. Congressmen were de-
luged with protests from home. Congress was in an up-
roar. Party lines were obliterated. Only a small group
justified the act of tie administration. Other than that
little group of the faithful Democrats as well as Eepub-
Hcsns did everything in tljeir power to annul that order.
They introduced delaying resolutions in both houses. They
called and argued with fuel administra.tor Garfield. They
fumed on the floor of the house and the senate and had
themselves guoted in denunciatory interviews. They used
every pressure that erolfl be brpnght to bear and failed.
The executive branch of the government had what it con-
sidered tie proper solution of the predominant industrial
difficulties. The bit was In tie teeth and away it went.
There should be and probably is no desire whatever
on the part of any trne citizen of the United States tp
handicap the government in any way in the prosecution of
the war. We must all conclude that the executive officers
had "the best of reasons for their action; (hat they con-
sidered it absolutely necessary to shut down these plants
for the general welfare of the country.
The whole thing however has caused tie American peo-
ple to wonder if a Tittle official foresightr-taken at the
proper time might not have obviated tie necessity for a
shutdown.
There has always seemed to be enough coal other wrn-
tn tint it must be remembered that the demands of
manufacturing shipbuilding and cantonments have made
a tremendous increase over normal requirements and that
the ananr! for Innker coal for ocean transport is much
greater than ever before. Demands of all kinds are greater
also because this is we comes i winter in yeu
coldest winter has brought weeks of the worst kind of
weather making railroads almost tmpassame irom snow.
AAA tn that a fhortaee of 150.000 cars and the fact that
eastern railroad yards are blocked with trains and repair
shops are full of fbad order" locomotives and lack skilled
men to repair tnem. ana me answer is uuy cuujucvc.
Still might this not have been provided against if the
government had seen to it earlier in the year that coal was
mined and moved in the warm months. If a government
can impress a man into its military service to be shot in
Europe and it can we admit why can't it impress a man
Into service with a nick in his hand to mine coal?
This closing down when we ought to be speeding up is
a bitter pilL ' Hot the least of the bitterness comes with
the reflection that y?e do not cut a very brave figure be-
fore the eyes of our allies or our enemies after all the
boasts of our enormous resurces and our twentieth century
efficiency.

l.nwi.V ana little prndrine. but none the "less" surely
the country is revising its opinion of Josephus Daniels.
- it used to constaer tnat as a secreiaiy uj a.y
he was a good country newspaper man. Now it is coming
to see that as a secretary ot tne navy ne is rawer a guuu
sort of a secretary.
The navy department is the one bright spot in the ag-
gregation of our government departments engaged ir war.
Everything is going smoothly. The navy department was
foresighted. It was preparing for war long before war
came. Contracts for clothing were placed some of them
before tie declaration of war and 5000 machine guns were
ordered also before war came. Plans were made for ex-
panding tie fleet and tiey were put into effect immedi-
ately after the declaration of war. Hundreds of ships have
been commissioned for war service since last June 5 and
they have been officered and manned. The personnel of
tie navy has been greatly increased and have yoa heard
of a seaman without a uniform? Has there been any scan-
dal about the care the men were receiving in the training
stations or on board ship or intimation of a high sick
rate? Everyone knows the answers are in the negative.
The navy department in sharp contrast to the far de-
partment has plenty of everything plenty of clothing
food machine guns niies ana oiunancc n u( oiuum
for Its warships and artillery enough also to arm more
than 1000 merchant ships which it has done. And it is
building submarines destroyers and cruisers at a gTeat rate.
The navy department contains many highly skilled and
energetic officers at tie heads of its bureaus but an in-
competent and interfering secretary wpuld have largelj
nullified their work.
The secretary of war seemed to fit in his office fairly
well before war came while secretary Daniels was ridiculed
as impossible. Since we entered the war secretarVBaker
has come to be considered entirely sub'caliber while his
colleague in the navy department has up to now made
good.

Red Cross Takes Out
Biggest Surety Bond
Washington. D C Jan. 19. The
Red Cross announces that it has ob-

National Surety company a fidelity
bond cenrering the treasurers of 33M
chapters throughout America. The
bond is one of the largest ever issued
tp a benevolent organization. The
total amount specified in the ached-
ule is approximately JI.0B.4a0. If the
anti rebate law permits the National
Surety company has agreed to con-
tribute to tbe Red Cross the araquut
of the premium so that the. bond
eventually will cost tbe Red Cross
nothing.
' The surety company does not re-
quire the Red Cross to notify It Of
any change of treasurers and no In-
vestigation by tbe company's agents
has been or will be. made with re-
spect to the local treasurers. ' Two
