WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.
The giant task of smashing freight
congestion at ports and junctions to
release supply ships went on full
blnst today. The work, made simpler
by the Garfield fuel restriction order,
was countered, however, by the
enemy snow, ice and wind in the
Central and Atlantic States.
' Ice floes in ports blowed up trans
fer of coal to ships. Winter storm
waves attacked the movement of
thousands of coal cars trying to get
"over the top" in their drive for the
scaboaid. The National Kailroad
struggled valiantly on. Officials were
confident that it would succeed.
WILSON INDORSEMENT HELPS
President Wilson's official indorse
ment of the Garfield order had
swept aside much of the bitter criti
cism which first marked the five
day industrial shutdown, particularly
in view of more ana more cncihii-
tions . , xT
Hundreds of industries and thou
sands of workmen still idle by
the suspension regulations watched
the Government struggles philo
sophically, . , .

was necessary and must bo carried out,

Factory Closing Order
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.
PRESIDENT WILSON has is
sued the following statement
on the coal situation:
"I was, of course, consulted by
Mr. Garfield before the fuel order
of yesterday was issued and fully
agreed with him that it was
necessary, much us I regretted
the necessity. This war calls for
many sacrifices, and sacrifices of
the sort called for by this order
arc infinitely less than sacrifices
of life which might otherwise bo
involved. It is absolutely neces
sary to get the ships away, it is
absolutely necessary to relievo the
congestion at tho ports and upon
the ruilways, it is absolutely
necessary to move great quanti
ties of food, and it is absolutely
necessary that our people should
bo warmed in their liomcs, if
nowhere else, and half-way
measures would not hnve ac
complished the desired ends.
"If action such as this had not
been tnken. we should have
limned along from day to day
with a slowly imnrovintr condi
tion of affairs with regard to the
shipment of food and of coal, but
without such immediate relief as
had become absolutely necessary
because of the congestions of
traffic which have been piling up
for the last few months.
"I have every confidence that
the result of action of this soit
will justify it and that the people
of the country will loyally and
patriotically respond to neces
sities of this kind as they have
to every other sacrifice involved
in the war. We are upon a war
footing, and I am confident that
tho people of the United States
are willing to observe the same
sort of discipline that might be
involved in the actual conflict
itself."

merce, todny threw the weight of
influence held by that organiza

through the port of Philadelphia,
Points brought out by him
were:
First. "Cut out the red tape and
get down to the logical working
out of conditions."
Second. Shipping through
Philadelphia is not a question of
advisability, but a matter of
neopssity to rplieve conditolns.
Third. Getting supplies to
United States troops and those of
the Allies is the most important
question of the day.
Fourth. That question can be
solved only by using to the best
advantage every seaport on tho
Atlantic coast.
Fifth. The facilities of the port
of Philadelphia are not being
used to their fullest capacity at
the present time.
Sixth. New York and Boston

Seventh. Tho port of Philadel

Eighth. The overflow fro

Ninth. This is not a time for
competition, but one for the utili
zation of every facility to tho best
advantage for the successful
prosecution of the war.
