Should Not Have Been Issued.

Through some channel or other II
was given out and ii is only after the
automobile industry has drawn atten-
tion to the alloy steel situation that
the explanation to the effect that the
restricting order should never have
gone out has been forthcoming.
The automobile situation in the De-
troit zone is much better than il was
two weeks ago. Manufacturers of as
sembled cars are holding up much bet
ter during the last ten days than pre-
yious to that time. Reports show that
several of the largest producing fac
tories are running at 20 per cent nor
NAL Dodge Bros are still behind in
orders. Ford produced 5000 cars one
day last week, which is the high-water
mark for that company Reports from
Buick, Cadillac, Oakland. REQ and 9TH
erS show that conditions are building
up, according to Automobile Industries
The extent to which many makers can
continue production on minimum of
alloy steel is most assuring to the in
dustry. Several makers have practically
turned over to high carbon steel basis,
except for a few parts on their cars, so
that the percentage of alloy steel es-
sential is SO small as not to be a factor
to be considered in any curtaiiment
program.
lists regarding the alloy situation. One
large producer of alloy steel in New
York last week admitted that he was
operating at 60 per cent capacity and
Is very EfaQ To nave obtained an orQer
of considerable magnitude for alloy
steel a week previous. If it were pos
sible to get reliable Information from
many other alloy steel producers there
might be some illuminating sidelights
on the situation.
Hard to Define.
Officials are finding it more difficult
to define a nor-essential than they
imagined three weeks ago. There still
is great amount of apparently deter
mined concert of action in many pub
Hcity channels TO place the automo-
bile industry before the public as a
non-essential and to dwell on the fact
that it might be curtailed, rather than
to place before the public the facts of
the steel situation, which -precipitated
the matter of discussed curtai1ment at
the outset
At this time it does not appear as If
there will be any direct and equal cur
taiiment of the automobile industry,
according to the automobile industries
committee. which believes that the war
industries board will instead allow all
manufacturers who desire to take up
their slack business with war contracts
provided they have the facilities, and
also provided there are munitions to be
made, for now comes the astonishing
statement that despite all the recent
publicity to the effect that the auto
mobile industry must convert its facili-
ties to munitions work to save the ma
ton, practically all contracts are al
ready placed outside of the industry
and only a few remain to be let-addi-
tional evidence of the facilities of the
publicity frequently appearing in the
press of the country.

IMPROVEMENT seen
I'm AUTO INDUSTRY
Apparently No Restrictions in
Transportation Besides
z Priority Order No. 2.

The automobile situation. SO far as
it-esncerns curtailment due to shortage
of alloy steel or other materials, or
further priority orders with regard to
materials for the industry. is in con-
siderably easier position than two
weeks ago. The announcement of
Judge Lovett. administrator of the
pierities transportation act. to the ef-
feet that rumors of further curtail-
ment to the industry are untrue. is re-
assuring
This means that apparently no re-
strictions are contemplated in addition
to priority order No. >. which pro-
hibited the use of open-top freight cars
for the transportation of automobiles
and parts for passenger cars. The auto
mobile industry is a unit in according
the entire use of these cars to coal
movement. which is not by any means
in a satisfactory condition today.
The steel situation has been relieved
materially during the past week, not
by any official announcements, but,
rather, by definite statements that have
circulated through official circles here.
The most important one is that IL is
now admitted on many hands that the
order restricting the shipment of alloy
steels to passenger automobile fac
tories was never intended to have been
issued.

Regarded as Wise Movement.

Pooling of railroad facilities from
Chicago eastward to the coast is re-
garded as a particularly wise move
ment, and it is anticipated that the
operating committee of vice presidents
of the various roads win arrive at an
agreement for elimination of parallel
and duplicate service, and for classifi-
cation of high-class freight and low
class freight without much difficulty.
II. however. the committee does not
arrive at solution, 1t is limited here
that the government will appoint a
transportation dictator, with power to
set aside hampering influences and run
the railroads, combining pooling of
revenue as well as equipment.
