NON WAR INDUSTRY
A PROBLEM TO U. S.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-A fair
method of dealing with the non-war
industries of the country in The allo
cation of raw materials and fuel is
still being sought by the members OF
what constitutes lesser essential"
industries may be said to be one OF
the most troublesome problems for
those who are trying to adjust Ameri
can industrial machinery to war con
ditions.
Officials of the War Industries
Board. the Fuel Administration, the
War Trade Board, the Tariff Com
mission the Railroad Administration
and the shipping Board have had
scores OF conferences to determine
what industries must be expanded
and which ones must undergo cur
tailment
Two schools of thought have mani
tested themselves in the councils of
those who are solving this important
problem One set of officials favors
the plan of preparing a list of indus
tries that must be practically shut
down for the period of the war or
converted into aother lines of manu-
facture TO make them war industries.
Another element favors a slow
death for the lesser essential indus
tries That is, they would serve no
definite notice of the intention to shut
them down, but would reduce the raw
material and fuel supplies from month
TO month as the situation demands.
The advocates of this plan contend
that it is not fair to class any bust
ness as mon essential" and that it
should be allowed to operate until it
is seen to be detriment TO the gen
eral war plan.
Those who favor the immediate
preparation of blacklist, say those
who are to be vitally affected should
