Britain’s Premier Warns Workers Over Coal Crisis
Washington reports President Wilson will not interfere with the fuel restriction order as coal is rushed to ships and ships are loaded with supplies for the American army and allies. The fuel order closes manufacturing plants east of the Mississippi for five days and halts most industrial activity on Mondays for ten weeks beginning January 21, with exemptions for war work and essential production. Protests in Congress grow as critics urge delaying or repealing provisions while Hoover clarifies food industries remain open.
