Damn fool order sparks senate fuel clash in Washington
Congress erupted over the Garfield fuel restriction order with senators condemning the move as chaotic and wasteful. The order, signed at 6 pm, cuts coal use and forces idle industries along the Mississippi and in Minnesota and Louisiana, with 14 exemptions for war industries and naval needs. President Wilson backs Garfield as the program proceeds.
Wilson Will Not Interfere With Fuel Order Policy
Washington reports President Wilson will not consider halting the fuel restriction and believes the public will accept its necessity. Major munition plants will operate fully under the order, while Senator Hitch cock’s resolution to suspend coal conservation for five days east of the Mississippi was adopted by the Senate. Exemptions are being drafted, including steel mills for ship plates and woolen mills for army and navy goods, along with some domestic utilities. Garfield prioritizes bunker coal for ships, with 23 large steel mills cleared to run at full capacity for navy needs as transport strains rise.
