j. S. WILL PLACE
PRODUCTION UNDER
POOLING SYSTEM

Government officials charged with
the conduct of the war, from President
Wilson down. rapidly are coming to
the conclusion that the pooling sys-
TEN is the only practical means OF
putting the Industries of the country
under forced draft and turning out
the work required TO keep army, navy,
and civil establishments running at
full speed.
Experts in various lines have made
all manner of suggestions for lining
up the industries for war purposes.
All have been practically abandoned
in favor OF the pooling system The
monopollstic system OF production and
distribution so long bitterly fought, es-
pecially by the Democratic party, as
insidious and undemocratic, has at
length been turned to as the only sys-
tenn sufficiently efficient to win the
war.
Use System Extensively.
The pooling system has been STAYED
Off by some leaders in the Admins
tration because OF the buEaboo of
Government ownership. Pooling under
Government supervision has been con-
sldered dangerously suggestive OF pub
lie ownership, but with the Federal
Government now brushing aside all
restraints that interfere with war
plans, pooling will be resorted to on
every hand.
Influential members Of the Federal
Trade Commission admit that the
Government before long will adopt
the pooling system for coal mines,
having the entire output poured into
one pool, the contents OF which will
be re-sold to the Government and the
public at an average price. Prices
paid by the pool to the mine opera
tors will be based on production
costs.
The steel industry Is working to-
ward a pooling arrangement, al
though this is proving difficult be-
cause OF the wide disparity between
production costs OF the various mills.
Copper and the other metals used ex-
tensively for war purposes will be
similarly handled.
Shipping Il Pooled.
Tho War Department has Just COM
pleted an arrangement for the pool
Ing of the output OF the big aero
plane factories: shipping by rail and
water has been pooled to a large ex-
tent: in fact the trend is strongly
toward a general pooling OF the
nations resources to give both Gov
eminent and people the lowest pos
sible average price for necessary

NEGRO PREACHER
SHOOTS MAN Who
CALLS HIM LIAR

PULASKI, Va. Sept. 1S.-The Rev.
Z. W. Wade, pastor OF a negro Metho-
dist church here, is in jail after shoot
ing Charles Jones, barber, in the left
hip. The wound is not considered
serious.
Jones took exception to wade's
Sunday sermons, in which the
preacher said there were Judases in
the congregation. The barber de-
manded an explanation as to whether
or not the minister alluded to him.
The minister replied he had no ex-
PLANTATION to make, and accused Jones
OF impeaching his credit among mer-
chants. Jones called him a liar, and
Wade drew his gun and shot four
times, only one bullet taking effect.
The preacher claims he thought
Jones reached for a gun. Jones is
said to have been unarmed. Wade Is
believed to have preached with the
gun in his pocket, as he stated after
being arrested he anticipated trouble.
