PLAN CONSUMPTION OF
INDUSTRIES OF U. S.
TO SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF THE
ARMY OR WHATEVER Is NEG
EssARY TO WIN THE WAR.
The Government, However, Has No
Intention of Taking Action Which
Would Cripple Industry.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Neutrality-suspicious. Of indus
tries to supply the needs of the army
was discussed by the War Industries
Board with automobile and accessories
manufacturers, who pledged their full
cooperation to the Government in
whatever is necessary to win the war.
The plan is to divert part OF each
plant to the production of war material.
1t was made plain to The manufactur-
ers that while their help is required,
the Government had no intention OF
taking any drastic action which would
cripple the industry. 1t was arranged
to have the manufacturers represented
in the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce and the motor and acces-
series manufa cturers appoint COM
mittee to work with the automot1ve
products section of the War Industries
Board in planning how the big automo-
bile factories of the country can be OF
the greatest service. Conference is the
first of many to be held with makers
of non-essentials as the progress or
the war makes greater demands on the
countrys resources. All such indus
tries probably will be called upon to
fall in line behind the Government in
curtailing the production of everything
not making a direct contribution to the
nations fighting efficiency, in conserv-
ing coal and raw materials and in re-
lieving the strain on the transportation
systems.
Bush. ess men directing the Govern
ment's vast war expenditures have
found it advisable to take their work
to established factories rather than to
create wholly new agencies for max
ing war supplies. In this way, it is
said, greater efficiency has been OBJ
tanned and at the same time industrial
organizations built up by private en-
terprise have been kept together. Cur
tailment of production of motor We
hicles was said to have been taken up
first because of the manufacturers vol
untary offer of cooperation, because OF
the highly organized nature Of the in
dustry and because the problem OF OBJ
tanning raw materials, also used IN the
manufacture of muRMions, had become
serious for the automobile men.

in connection with the discovery of

Department possessed evidence to
show an alleged embryonic Board of
Trade in operation in railroad freight
yards whereby commission men
bought and resold carloads of vegeta-
bles many times. One hundred and
five carloads of potatoes, onions and
cabbage were discovered on the stor-
age tracks in the Chicago and North
western yards. All the cars were
marked Hold" One car Of potatoes
showed it had been in Chicago since
September % last. There is nothing
to show on the cars to whom the food
stuffs are consigned.

Nineteen PERISH IN
RESCUE MISSION FIRE
Mad Rush for Stairways Causes Death
Of Many-others Jump From
Windows.

Paterson, N. J.-Nineteen men lost
their lives at a fire which destroyed
the Paterson Salvation Army Rescue
Mission at ~ Mill street Eighteen of
the victims were burned to death be-
fore rescuers could reach them. The
other. one of the fourteen taken to
the hospital, succumbed to his injuries.
Many others were badly injured, eth
er in the surging mass of humanity
which, panic-stricken, stampeded
from the building, or by leaping from
windows.
Six of the dead were identified at
the morgue, whittier their charred
bodies were taken after the fire had
been extinguished. They were: Hen
ry Bowling, Michael Grimes, Fred
Brennan, John Shell, Frank Costello
and William A. McNab. Most, if not
all of the other victims, are believed
to have been burned beyond recogni-
ton. Some of the bodies may never
be recovered. More than score sus-
tanned injuries of a minor character.
These were treated by ambulance sur
geons. Of those who leaped from the
windows of the burning building L.
were SO badly hurt that their removal
to the hospital was imperative. Some
of these, it was said may not recover.
Some were old and some were Grip
pied. Few were in the full vigor of
manhood, as the rescue mission was
conducted as a haven for unfortunates
who possessed no home and but little
means of livelihood.

Hamilton, Ont.-Under the compul-

overseas at the rate of 10000 every
month, according to Major General
Newburn, Minister of Militia, who ad-
dressed a gathering Of conscription
Liberals. He declared the CONSUMPTION
law had made it possible to raise at
least $4,000 men in few weeks, and
that it would be the policy to give
them their uniforms as rapidly as they
are drafted and send them to England
for training. The law provides for the
raising of 100000 men.

Boston, Mass.-Three members OF
the naval armed guard, two army en-
listed men and four of the ships civil
ian crew were killed and third naval
gunner is missing as result OF the
torpedoing of the homeward bound
army transport Finland in the war
zone. Vice Admiral Sims report OF
the casualties to the Navy Depart
ment added no detail to the announce
ment that the Finland had been tor
pedoed, but had been able. to reach a
European port under her own steam.
The announcement that five OF the
men we're drowned indicated to Off
Gals that the Finlands company left
the vessel in small boats until it was
made certain that she would remain
afloat. The capsizing of one OF the
boats in launching might account for
the drowning of the men.
It is assumed that two Of the armed
guard we're killed by the explosion OF
the torpedo and that the missing one
probably was blown overheard by the
explosion, as was seaman on the de-
stroyer Cassin when she was torpe-
doed recently.

PRICES EXPECTED TO DROF
Manufacturers and Distributors OF Sta
pies Will Be Instructed AS to
Regulations.

Washington.-An immediate drop IN
prices on canned vegetables was pre-
dicted by the Food Administration as
a result of putting into operation the
license system for wholesale dealers.
Many canned goods, it was said, were
bought by dealers at low prices last
spring and can be sold at less than the
present market prices. Dealers charg-
ing more than a reasonable profit are
liable to forfeiture of their license to
do business. The retailers will be con-
trolled to an extent also through the
operation of the licensing system.
Those charging more than the Food
Administration regards as just will
find their supplies cut off in orders to
wholesalers to cease supplying them
with goods.
A warning to food dealers subject
to regulations who have not applied
for licenses that they may find them
selves in serious difficulties was is
sued by the Food Administration.
Those who have not forwarded their
applications are directed to 40 so i'm
