Iuate and those neglected to cover
requirements well head now have
urgent efforts to get orders on the
books OF producers. Yet in most
cases manufacturers are more anx-
lous TO reduce accumulated business
than to accept additional contracts,
deliveries being backward in many
instances because labor scarcity and
other conditions prevent full running
OF all the machinery available.
The shortage OF cars also binders

to report substantial gains over 1915,
