BENDER (tfaited Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. IndustrialjVrrjerica. rose up today in violent protest against the order of Fuel Administrator Garfield suspending operation of virtually all great plants in the eastern half of the country for five days. Under an avalanche of hundreds of thousands of telegrams Garfield made plans with state aids for put ting the order 'into effect at midnight. l.'ismay. confusion ar.d vigorous cbsrges of inefficiency were revealed m the- protests of business. That the country does not believe th-re is need for the drastic step was pis inly evidenced. Unprecedented numbers of telegrams called for Uarlicld's removal pointing out the dangers of throwing the economic status or the country into a furore. Charges that Garfield has assumed powers he did not possess were freard on all points including both houses of congress. Garfield replied that under the Leer bill and priority powers authority is granted for rcstrictins fuel the measure providing power to stop shipments of fuel to any consumer who fails to obey government mandates. The war government itself was confuted as to the scope of the Garfield order. Hasty conferences between Garfield and shipping board officials today resulted in the declaration that some pnts among them the fabricating steel plant? must close down. There will be no delay to the shipping propram, however, because sufficient supplies are now en route to yards to supply all needs. The Monday holiday order caused a general confusion throughout the country. It was later explained by Gartleld that eastern I'mted Stales was effected but full authority wa.5 given to fuel administrators of the western portion to act in accordance if they wished. Newspapers must be relied on for the information until orders are sent out. Gar'ield assertey FOUR WELL KNOWN WHITING PEOPLE DEAD Hp-rlil )o " '." TT es ' WITH IN" I' ' a '.

We think it is about time for President Wilson to use the axe on the official caput of the panic-stricken Garlield and give him a front; seat in the Down and Out Club. Garfield, the U. S. fuel administrator, seems to have completely : lost his senses and it doesn't speak very well for the administration v. hen it permits capital and industrv to he subiect to the whim and ;

I . . . ------ j . . . ; caprice of Garlield, wherein he issues the revolutionary and amazing !

edict as he has done in the coal

necded instead of pounding the alarm bell. J We do not see that a snow storm ought to be permitted to para-! Iyze the United States, tie up millions of dollars, slow up war contracts ' and throw millions of men out of work. We do not believe that busi-1 ness and industry which have given so freely of their substance to carry on the "war should be penalized and in some-cases almost ruined'

by this trip-hammer blow. What the coal business anyway? The The snow won't last for ever.

it Lr. uarneid were one hundred per cent efficient he never would have dilly dallied with the coal situation as he has ever since he was appointed. The country owes its coal plight to no one else but Garfield. People are without coal today only because of his temporizing

with a perilous situation. People

tied up. Why the hysterics? There is coal enough for every purpose if it only was handled ight. There is plenty of coal in the country, but the situation has been

juggled in such a scandalous fashion that industry and business are j

now to pay the penalty and pay it OWH . . The Garfield order should be

an unpatriotic order. Garfield should be removed from office and a competent coal administrator substituted.
