Under proposition made to all
employees of the Federal Lead Com
pany this week, the company proposes

night, the night shift got together and
gathered a donation of several thou

when matched by the handsome dona-
tion-of the company, will mount up to
respectable sum for this worthy
cause.

The British meat shortage is being
felt more severely than at any time
since war was started. That the
shortage is not confined to meats,
however, is shown by the fact that eff
fective control of the milk supply is
already being considered, in order to
meet possible greater shortage lat
er in the year, and that some sections
of English labor are favoring extern
sions of the compulsory rationing
system to bread, cheese, and tea.

The War Trade Board has limited
the importation of crude rubber to
100000 tons year, and has instructed
its bureau of imports for the current
quarter to limit the issuance of Ii
censes to a total of $4,000 tons up to
June 81, 1918. Some changes may be
made after experiences are gained by
this three months test. Imports of
crude rubber during the previous year
had been at the rate Of $4,000 tons
per annum, so the cut is over one
third.
