LIMITS use OF CARS
Building Materials and Men, Esse ntials
Barred To Give Space To
Necessities.

Washington. Oct. So.-Steps to re-
strict enterprises not essential to the
conduct of the war have been taken by
the government In forbidding use of
opsn.top freight cars on and after No
vember for transportation of mater
ial for roads and highways. theatre
construction and manufacture OF
pleasure vehicles. furniture and musi-
cal instruments.
The restriction Of non-esseutials has
been imposed through an order. BY
Robert s. Lovett. priority director OF
the War Industries Board. prohibiting
use Of opentop carr. excepting nat.
cars, for carrying any Of the specified
materials for private orders.
Coal and government shipments are
exempted. as we'll as shipments IN
closed boxcArs.
The order II expected to provide
early relief for the car shortage which
has affected coal. coke, ore, lime
stone. sugar beets. sugar cane, s0r
ghum cane and raw materials for uss
In the metal, sugar and fertilizer In
dustries and other commodities neces
sary to the national defense and Sc
curity."
Transportation Of these materials
has been hampsred by insistence o'
manufacturers on cars for nonesssl
tials, he said.
The most drastic effect Of the ordeI
probably will be TO stop many publ,
road and street building enterprises
for which crushed stone. cement, ans
asphalt materials have been transport
ed largely In open cars.
