distinctly stronger. Activity was con-
lined to an odd assortment Of S7ecialties

operations OF professional interests at
substantial gains.
General conditions affecting the rail-
roads and leading industries OF the

as they Indicated an increasing unde1 :
standing between the leaders OF finance
and industry and the government.

transportation companies were again Of
the familiar variety. showing heavy de-
creases in net income. Financial re-
turns Of the icadinS steel and iron COM

TO CUT AUTO

Thirty Per Cent Reduction

THIS DONE BY
AGREEMENT
Plants Needed for War Mu-
milton Work-Makers to
Have Washington Office

New York, March 9.-Curtailment o.
30 per cent in the production of passen
ger carrying motor cars was decided upor
by the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce at its meeting here. This re
dnction in output is strictly war meas
IRE and applies to the entire uncompleted
schedule for the present fiscal year.
There is very little doubt that the
agreement, affecting liz automobile
manufacturers in the United States, will
be extended il the war continues, to COW
er the period of the war. With produc-
tion curtailed, higher prices are almost
sure to follow.
The statement issued after the meet
ing points out that representatives of
several of the largest manufacturing con
Germs were called TO Washington recently
by the war industries board and the fuel
administration for the purpose OF dis
cussiDg the situation and determining to
what extent further assistance might be
rendered and the government needs sup
piled"
A careful review of the situation fol-
lowed, with the resultant curtailment.
The statement adds:
This arrangement is entirely satisfac-
tory to the war industries board, the
fuel administrator and the manufactur.
ers themselves, permitting the latter to
adjust their affairs to meet the govern
ment program without unnecessary bust.
ness and financial disturbances The inn
portance Of the industry in connection
with war work, already supplying Lib
erty motors and aircraft equipment,
trucks, ambulances, munition, gun car
riaCes field and road tractors and tanks
made the curtailment highly advisable"
In order to derive the maximum bene-
fit from the 80 per cent curtailment the
automobile manufacturers have decided
to establish a general headquarters in
Washington in charge of Hugh Chalm-
ers, vice president of the manufacturers
association and chairman of the CHAIN

Lodge and Weeks--Acknowledge
Bay States Vote.

Boston, March 9.-Senators Lodge and
Weeks. who were given vote of conf
dence by the House of Representatives
last week for their efforts in support Of
the war, after Democratic member had
urged adoption of an order condemning
their attitude, declared in letters to
Speaker Charming II. Cox yesterday that
they had put country above politics and
would continue to do so until the war
was brought to speedy and successful
issue
I'm my judgment" Senator Weeks
wrote, 1.-THE patriotic man is he who is
trying to bring about any necessary
changes which will improve and make
effective the military service.
Il have followed that policy and will
continue to do so until the end of the
war"
Senator Weeks declared that none of
his utterances had been based on politics
He said he had supported legislation
which he did not always approve, because
he felt those in authority were best
equipped to direct the country's policy.
Il have cast no party vote and made
no party speech since the war began"
Senator Lodge said, land while it con-
tnues / do not intend to do so. My
country and my country's cause com.
mand my highest allegiance and to them
] am ready to make every sacrifice, both
personal and political.
Il have considered it my duty TO sup
port every measure to sustain the adj
minstration in the prosecution of the
war and / consider it also my duty TO
do everything in my power to remedy
mismanagement and inefficiency wher
ever they exist and wherever it seems to
me that they are causing delays or
threatening injury to our army or our
navy"
