Governor Cox of Ohio declared that the one-millioii-ton excess of coal in the northwest, "occasioned by the blunder of Fuel Administrator Garfield," is responsible, responsi-ble, in large measure, for lack of fuel in the east and for transports loaded with supplies for tioopsin foreign countries, reported lied up at ports. The governor severely criticised the fuel administrator, particularly in regard to Dr. Garfield's reported statements before a senate investigation committee, in which Dr. 'Uarheld was credited with remarking l hat "the condition in Ohio is psychological."' psycho-logical."' "I see that the professor says in Ids testimony before a senate committee that the condition in Ohio was psychological," said Governor Cox. "Reduced to simple terms, the meaning of his observation Is that, the people only thought they were cold. Eight hundred miles away, he knew they were not." After pointing out that the task now-faced now-faced is to keep mines going, congestion cleared away and sensible distribution made, he concluded: "Mr. McAdoo, as a, practical man, will attend to this. Meanwhile, I feel quite sure Unit the country will have no objection ob-jection to Professor Garfield's continuing his study of psychology. That will keep him out of the coal business and MuAdoo in It, for which God be praised." Governor Cox and -ieI Administrator Garfield clashed several weeks ago when Governor Cox ordered the taking over of 1200 cars of coal that were tied ud on Ohio railroad sidings.- when freezing of lakes prevented further shipments to the northwest. |
