POOLING PLAN
IS ADVOCATED
FOR INDUSTRIES
Government Officials May
Conclude That System is
Best Way to Force Need
ed Production.
International News Service

International News Service.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-Gov-
eminent officials charged with the
conduct Of the war. from Pres't
Wilson down, are coming rapidly 10
the conclusion that the pooling sys-
tenn is tho only practical means of
putting the industries OF the country
under forced draught and turning
out the work required TO keep army,
navy and civil Establishments run
ming at full speed.
The pooling system has been
STAYED of until now by administra-
ton leaders because of the bugaboO
of government ownership. Pooling
under government supervision has
been considered dangerously sug-
gestive OF public ownership, but with
the federal government now brush
ing aside all restraints that interfere
with war plans, pooling will be re.
sorted on every hand.
Coal Mines Affected.
Members of the federal trade
commission admit that the govern
ment before long will adopt the
pooling system for coal mines, haV-
ing the entire output poured into
one pool. contents Of which will be
resold TO the government and the
public az an average price. Prices
to mine operators Will be based on
production costs.
The steel industry is working to-
ward a pooling Arrangement. This
is proving difficult because of the
wide disparity between production
costs at various mills. Copper and
the other metals used extensively for
war purposes, will be handled simil-
arly.
The war department has just COM
pleted an arrangement for pooling
the output OF the big aeroplane fac
tories. Shipping by rail and water
has been pooled to a large extent.
