country's factories. muniuon ana
otherwise. in the East are given as
prime causes for this condition. sec

fact that Eastern roads for the most

almost as much in passenger fares as

manufacture of arms. ammunition and
equip the land forces likely to be re-
CURED by the United States in time
of war;
"Not only will the manufacturing
plants be provided with this special
equipment, but it will be required that
the factory employees become familiar
with their operation in connection with
the manufacture of particular items
assigned to them. For instance, an
automobile plant in Detroit, which has
been assigned to the manufacturing of
shells, may be called upon at any
time to turn out for the government
ten Or a dozen of these. In this way
it is expected that the plants will be-
come familiar with the government 8
requirements, and in the event of war,
will not have to educate their forces
in the manufacture of something about
which they know nothing.
Labor Organizations Intact.
"By preparing the various industrial
plants for the manufacture of mu-
nitions, the breaking out of war would
not cause the shutting down of the
plants, for they could Immediately
cease the production of their regular
output and turn over to the making
of material for the government.
"Another important feature Of the
ness is that through the establishment

and his plant instead of being closed
during the war period, or demoralized
through the loss of its labor, would
continue it's activities. The only change
would be that, in some cases, instead
o Turning out it's regular product the
company would be doing it's share in
providing one or more Of the fifty
thousand items necessary adequately
to equip an army.

as now waged, the industrial force has
become quite as important as the

to create an army, but a different
proposition to arm it. Skilled me.
chanics in all lines of production work
must be kept from enlistemnt in the

ut is essential therefore that the
names of these skilled workmen be
listed and that the men themselves be
enrolled in the industrial reserve, anc
such enrolment be considered in the

that a government card will be ISSUED

DEALERS DEMAND
10000 CHALMERS

]. w. Julian Of the Julian A,,tomo-
bile company announces a Vel table

Chalmers, necessitating the factory
undertaking the task of building TO-
600 more of these cars this year.
When this model was first brought
out, 600 Chalmers dealers gave it the
once over and ordered 1860, Just
$22O00,000 worth of automobiles,
These were grabbed so quickly by
wise motorists, says Mr.. Julian, that
the dealers clamored for more-10.-
600 more. These went Quickly loo.
The Chalmers Motor compary had
contemplated building only $4,000 of
the cars this year, but the builders
were finally compelled to give in to
the urgent plea of the dealers and
they have arranged to construct 20
900 more-making $4,000 in all. 1t
is evident that dealers are finding the
car Increasing in popularity, due, Mr..
Julian says. to the fact that those
who seek quality know they'll ret it
in the "S40O r. p. M" Chalmers.
