Both of the above associations are appealing to all merchants in view of the above conditions to close their places of business Saturdays at 7 P.

Bareham, representing the Master Plumbers and Heating Oonrtca tors' Association, held a conference with lr. Thomas Parsons yesterday afternoon at which it was understood that plumbing establishments would be closed Monday with no heat, light or power, but in order to take care of emergency orders, prevent danger to property and injury to health and to take care of outside jobs and house repair work mechanics can 'be sent out from the whops where no heat, light or power is used. Among the plants that will resume work on Monday morning- under special exemption issued 5y the government will be 'the Davis Machine Tool Company, Incorporated. Rochester's schools are to reopen. A decision to reopen the schools was arrived at last night following a long conference arranged by Monroe County Fuel Administrator Mortimer R.

Miller, and the public and parochial school authorities. This arrangement was decided upon following the recommendation of these authorities that schools having a supply of coal on hand or in sight sufficient to justify it resume operations. This was one of the happenings of moment vesterdav" following I the return of Mr. Miller and the other delegates who went to Washing sociation, and members of the Master Butchers Association will close then-place of business Monday at noon and remain, closed the balance of the day.

Unless we get together and forget our The above picture was taken after this Armleder Truck belonging to the Schwalb Coal Company had passed through a 4y2 foot snow bank. You can still see the snow clinging to the wheels and sides of the car. The driver says it was done as easily as running along the level street. This particular truck one of a fleet of seven owned by the Schwalb- Coal has delivered many a load to the Public Schools of the city carries 4 to 5 tons and glide i along smoothly and noiselessly. It has not missed one hour of operation in 2 years.

The other six are equally efficient performing their daily duties without interruption. Now there must be a reason for the successful operation of these Armleder Trucks and credit must be given to the chassis construction and also to the Continental engine that furnishes the motive power an engine especially built for heavy work and with unlimited power. Every owner of an Armleder Truck and there are 28 of them in operation in and about the city is a thoroughly satisfied owner as is evidenced by the repeat orders that have come to ns without solicitation. We believe we have the best heavy truck on the market. And we can show you that the operating cost of an Armleder which does the work of 8 'to 12 horses Is less than the feed and care of a pair of horses.

We ask that you consider carefully the Armleder Truck, if you are in the market and give us the opportunity of going further into detail regarding Armleder efficiency. own little business we are going to find 10 o'clock that night until 6 o'clock Wednesday morning, January 23d, lUUS, and on the specified Mondays' following Therefore be it Uesolved. that the members of the Rochester Chamber ot Commerce in a meeting assembled to-day express thrir appreciation of this voluntary action. Geneva Man Present. President W.

W. Gxant, of the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, attended the meeting. Mr. Grant said it had been rumored that there were violations of the order of Dr. Garfield in this city, but that was not a fact.

He said one factory, through ignorance of the rules ton witn a piea ior some aDatement ot Dr. (jarheld order shutting off 90 per cent, of the city's soft-coal supply, the closing of the schools being the first move by the local fuel administrator in a comprehensive plan of fuel conservation to meet the grave situation resulting. Every educational institution in the city, including the university and seminaries, is now permitted to reopen and as speedily as the authorities charged with their operation can find the fuel needed and heat the buildings and rearrange the plumbing as required, under the order of Mr. Miller. INDUSTRIES TO OPEN ALSO.

Rochester's industries also are soon to resume their Operations interrupted by the two orders of Dr. Garfield, the supreme fuel authority. This was the other momentous announcement of yesterday. Mr. Miller was able to give this assurance as a result of the visit of the Rochester committee to the national Capital.

The time for reopening has not been announced for the industries. Mr. Miller has refrained from a definite word on this point. The whole matter rests on the ability of Rochester's industrial and commercial interests, and the citizens generally to live up to and maybe beyond the letter of the orders of Dr. Garfield.

The whole thing pivots on the matter of fuel conservation. Thorough measures of conservation will speed the time for a return of normal activity. THEATERS TO OPEN MONDAYS. Favorable action on the appeal of the theater managers that they be permitted to remain open on Mondays and close, on Tuesdays has been taken and Rochester theaters have made arrangements to open to ourselves in greater diffieniity.

Barbers in Quandary. Some Rochester concerns with New York headquarters have received notification to pay their employees during the lay-off period.

He advised the Humane Society Ambulance be called when a horse ia attacked, and to have a veterinary attend to the animal. Barbers were "up in the air" yesterday, as under the instruction of Ir.

"Regarding the saving of fuel to date," paid Mr. Hutchings, "I think that what we have accomplished in our plants is good evidence of what we are going to gain by this order of Dr. Garfield." He said that the company was saving over 300 tons of coal a day and that adding to this the fuel being saved by manufacturers it could be seen that "we are beginning to get back on our feet again." "The only way to get steam up in a plant is to stop the operations of the said Mr. Hutchings. "Now we have to stop industry everywhere to get steam up.

"I don't believe that there ia a member of the committee that went to Washington but realizes that the order of Dr. Garfield was necessary. If. we do not observe it universally other orders will be necessary." Changes In Factory Hours. The plans for the rearrangement of schedules on the street railway were touched upon by Mr.

Hutchings. He said that the men charged with working out the details had found the manufacturers ready to' more than meet them half way. Ten of the biggest industries of the city engaged in various manufacturing enterprises and the clothing industries of the city are to be 'placed in groups in the plan of the arrangement of street-railway schedules to break down the peak load which comes late in the afternoon. Carl L. Oadle and Elmer E.

Strong, the street railway company, have made up a partial schedule of rearranged hours. The matter of working out a schedule for the smaller industries has not been reached, but this will be done as soon as possible Rochester Looked to as Model. In speaking of the general need of fnel conservation here' and the effect of the orders of Dr. Garfield on the city. Secretary Roland Woodward of the chamber said that in Was'l-gton Rochester was looked upon as a city that could be relied upon to set an example of the country in patriotism.

"I think we owe it to ourselves, even if we were to go so far as to consider the selfish side of the matter, to see to it that we observe every feature of these regulations. Cards will be issued soon to manufacturers giving suggestions as to plans for fuel saving.

Chief Quigly felt quite elated over the situation, and didn't hesitate to say so out loud. "I am glad to observe the stand taken by the liquor men of our city," said Chief Qulgley last night.

Tbey are doing a patriotic service. They are sacrificing a lot, and i showing the public that they are loyal to the country and to its best interests. I feel that their stand in the matter cannot be too strongly commended. Rochester liquor men are in a class by themselves.

Thinking' More Clear Now. Besides the great optimism that the announcement of Mr. Miller created, the most striking thing about the gathering was the evidence that at last business men. weighted down with the seriousness of the situation which the fuel restrictive measures had forced upon them, were beginning to see daylight. Back of the local confusion following the announcement of the paralysing edict on industry and.

back of the calamity that seemed to impend to the nation, it seemed be realized that only some reason of supreme importance to the -whole country could have impelled the fuel administrator to act and the President to confirm the decision. Men quite evidently were restored to sanity in their thinking and alert to fulfill every expectation of the authorities. This was reflected in the words of Mr. Miller, who said: "Before I went to Washington, I was not convinced that there was the need of such great restrictions in the use of fuel. Now I am convinced that unless we obey in every particular the order of Dr.

Garfield eome other- and more drastic measure will be needed." "If every householder, every manufacturing establishment and every place of business will co-operate to the fullest in this situation, not only in the matter of the special order of Dr. Garfield but in that of the general order of the administrator I think that every manufacturing concern we have will keep running.
