Ell says that siuce the Ministry of Munitions
was formed there has been IL gratifying m
crease in the output OF munitions, but that the
rate of production is still below the Miuistly's
demands. Accelerutiou IS incentive, but
impossible without the relaxation of all
restrictive labour regulations and without
the utilization TO Il far greater extent Of
uuskilled labour. With regard to the
Military position, he considers that until
the present the voluntary system has served

efforts OF a portion OF the Press 10 Kill volun-
teerism. Men are still coming faster than
they can be equipped,o and when The necessary

that the suggestions to place lnbonr under

dIsfny0ur at a conference held ut the De-
partment of Munitions on Morday between
tie employers, Trade Unioni,ts ard reprc-
