participated in them.

that the warden, by reason of alleged
immoral practices, Is an unfit person

MUNITIONS
MAKING IN
GREAT BRITAIN
Is Explained in Some Detail to
a correspondent of the
Associated Press.

LONDON, Dec. 9.-The following
facts as TO the making of munitions
are supplied to the Associated Press
BY one OF the heads OF that depart
ment.
THE country Is divided into areas
ccch of which has local board OF
management has representatives Of
tho ministry Of munitions. This
board Of management has representa-
tives Of the leading engineering and
manufacturing firms: and expert en-
gineers working the whole time on
I the work OF the ministry are at
tached to each board and survey all
the engineering resources in tho
locality 80 as to- utilize those as
highly as possible for the production
OF munitions. 80 ~
This work has been carried very
far. and machinery concentrated In
suitable factories and every effort
made to utilize oil the lathes and
engineering equipment in every town
and district in the locality.
Each board Of management is In
direct touch with headquarters ut
the ministry Of munitions, where
there is a gentleman who is In charge
Of every particular district and Is
athletic answer all inquiries and help
and advise In any difficulty which
may occur in that particular area.
AT the head Of this organization
IL Mr.. ]. Stevenson. a business man
OF wide experience. It should be
noted that the powers exercised in
regard to taking machinery and fac
tories by these local organizations
acting under the ministry Of NUM-
lions are very extensive and very
drastic.
The national she'll factories al
ready established number twenty
and are chiefly situated in large
centers OF manufacture, while CO.
operative areas are arranged in more
scattered districts. In many cases.
the two systems run side by side
sc that every available means may
be taken OF increasing the supply"
Steps have been taken to con-
troll the conditions under which pri-
vate factories are working, the pow
ers OF the ministry in this matter
being defined in the munitions act.
The most important sections Of this
act relate to what are called CON
trolled establishments" The total
number OF controlled establishments
is now 1896. and there are a million
work people employed therein.
This control implies MS regards the
employer. Limitation OF rrofits, con-
troll Of changes Of VIZ :. and as
regards the workmen. II imnlies the
suspension under statutory safeguard
Of rules and practices restricting pro.
ductfon or employment. and the en-
forcement OF regulations in regard
to regularity Of work and efficiency"
