LACK OF LABOR HAMPERS
BRITISH PLANS FOR WAR
Earl Kitchener Worried by Threat
ened Shortage In the Supply
of Ammunition.

LONDON, March 1S.-Earl Kitchener
secretary of war, told the house OF
lords last evening that progress in the
work of equipping Britain's new armies
had been seriously hampered by failure
10 get sufficient labor and the necessary
factory facilities.
The supply of war material he
said, is now and for the next month
or two will be a very serious considera-
ton. 1t is causing me serious anxiety.
1t is absolutely essential that the out
put of ammunition be increased. To do
so is of the utmost importance to the
operations in the field"
Continuing along this subject Earl
Kitchener urged firms in certain lines
to place their spare labor and ma
chinery at the disposal of the govern
ment. Ho said he considered that men
engaged in the supplying of munitions
were serving their country as much as
the men In the field. and that medal
would be issued to workers on m1ln'-
lions of war on the successful fermina-
ton of hostilities.
In soue cases, he said, there has been
y ma rked diminution in the output, due
in a measure to drink. but "on more
than one occasion the failure to work
to a high standard had been due to the
restrictions of the trade unions Earl
Kitchener declared
