instrument Makers Agree
to Big Curtailment Of
Production

WASHINGTON, April g. The fuel
administration to-day announced that
the output of the musical instrument
industry would be curtailcd 80 per cent
during the months of April and May.
Agreement to that effect was negoti-
ated at recent conferences between
representatives of the. industry, the
fuel administration and the War In
dustries Board.
During the next two months the
War Industries Board will make a
careful survey of the manufacturing
possibilities of the musical instrument
factories and will arrange, it is stated,
for the transfer of as much war work
to them as they can undertake. The
announcement Of the curtailment is
sued by the fuel administration to-day
includes the following statement:
"The musical instrument industry is
very large one, and very important
10 the economic life of the country.
1t is also we'll adapted to take on a
part OF the production necessary for
war. 1t will be the aim of the gov

mics in connection with this industry
just as far as possible by a transfer
enco Of work. This will obtain for
the country the full economic value
of the industry, investment and equip
ment, and at the same time limit the
output of its product not needed for
the war to such an extent as seems
necessary"

Convention Report
On ireland Ready
Political Leaders Believe Cru
cial Stage in Country's Des-
tiny Has Been Reached

LONDON, April 6.-The question OF
1reland's future has reached q crucial
stage with the announcement that the
1risa convention has finished it's work
and decided upon a report to be made
to the government.
While it is not permitted to reveal
the conventions proceedings at pres
ent. the nature of the report and the
general work Of the convention are we'll
known to pubic men in England and
Ireland. Premier Lloyd. George de-
c.ared when the convention was or
ganiZed that if it agreed upon any plan
for a government its plan would be
embodied in bill and placed before
Parliament
Whether mere majority report in
favor of some Home Rule plan, if such
a report IS presented by the @conven-
ton. will be considered an agreement
warranting legislation based on it re-
mains to be seen.
Premier George also strongly inti-
mated that the government might pro-
ceed to q settlement of the Irish prob
lem by legislation even if the conven-
ton failed to find some ground for set
tiement "hy consent" Therefore new
Irish developments are expected in the
near future, although the first BUSINESS
before the government must be in deal
ing with urgent war measures, chiefly
that for increasing the army.

George Ehret Urges
Loan Subscriptions
Brewer Is Eighty, Home in Ber
lin, But He's Loyal, Son
Declares

The friends Of George Ehrct, the
wealthy brewer, were surprised yes
terday at the appearance of full-page
advertisements in tho evening papers
urging the purchase of Liberty bonds.
Mir. Ehret's name was signed to the
advertisement. Mr.. Ehret is over
eighty years Of age, and for eight or
ten years made his home in Berlin,
where he is we'll known as a "millon-
aire American brewer" Until the
United States declared war Mr.. Ehret
was in Berlin. The full-page adver-
tisemcnts yesterday suggested the
thought that he had returned to New
York, but at the house of his son,
George Ehrct, jr., it was said last night
that he was in Switzerland.
when the food situation got desper
ate in Berlin. about a year ago, Mr..
Ehrct went from Berlin to Switzer-
land" said one of his friends last night.
"It would surprise his old friends
among the German aristocracy to see
his name attached to an advertisement
urging every one to get into The fight
against Germany, but the old man is
an American, and as he is in Switzer-
land the Prussians are not in position
to say anything to him, even If they do
think Of him as resident Of Berlin
and one Of their own"

with the conduct of the war. The fue!
administration has already conferred
with representatives of more than 1000
industries. Agreements have been ne.
gotiated for voluntary courtailnoent OF
glass, boxboard. brewing and other in
dustries. Within the next few days
it is expected, similar agreement will
be closed with both the building trades
and the automobile industry.
An important announcement regard
ing the governments policy toward in
dustrial priority is expected to be is
sued by the War Industries Board with
in the next few days This policy, it
is anticipated, will not affect non-es-
sential industries solely, but will cut
the output of some so-called essential
war industries.
Wherever curta;lments are found
necessary reduction Of manufacturing
operations Will be accomplished grad
ually. Meantime every effort viii be
made to convert the facilities of these
industries TO way purposes. At the
same time, it is stated the government
will enforce rigidly its policy of cur
tailment, using fuel control and rail
road priority orders as the weapons
with which to make it effective.

To Sell Food at Cost

Twelve food markets, at which food
may be purchased at cost price. Will
be opened III various sections of the
city tomorrow. They are to be CON
Quoted under the auspices of the So
cialist Consumers League, and women
who have volunteered their services
will act as clerks.
The league has arranged to CO.
operate with the Garden Market Asso-
citation, and it is expected the food
markets will do much to relieve dis
tress among the poor of the city. The
one market already opened, at Jefferson
Market, Sixth Avenue and Eighth
Street, has proved most successful.
The plan of operation is for tene-
ment dwellers in the vicinity of the
markets to organize themselves and
appoint one of their number as n cap-
tain. All ordering will be done through
this captain, and the system, it is de-
clsrcd, removes all waste, which under
ordinary circumstances is being paid
for in the form of higher prices.

the town last night looking for about
dozen persons, including several wom-

gcther. Mr.. Swami said he fully ex-
pected the persons who are wanted

said at least ten of them can help the
identity Of the mysterious "three men"
who are believed by Mr.. Swami and
Mr.. Smith to have acted as the pay
masters. The prosecutor says he has
evidence that "Big Morris" Rothenberg,
under Indictment for shooting Cohen,
met these men in the vicinity of
Seventh Avenue and Forty eighth
Street about an hour after the murder

Colonel Austen Colgate, candidate
for the Republican United States Sen
atorial nomination. yesterday issued
the platform upon which he will run
1t is. in part, as follows:
"The paramount issue is the success
full prosecution Of the war against Ger
many. In this conflict we must not be
content with an inconclusive peace.
There must be neither hating nor
turning hack
There is no room for rartisan criti-
cism or obstruction. There is place
for fair and constructive criticism.
There must be no unnecessary waste
either of precious lives or the money
which supports those lives. Our sol
Giers must be properly clothed fed.
equipped and trained. Thew must be
given to the last detail, both at home
and abroad. the most scrupuious pro
vision for health and morale.
"The government should take the
people at home morefuly into its con-
fdence by giving them all possible in
formation concerning the movement of
our men on land and sea-
"All forms of opposition to the ef-
ficient prosecution Of this war must be
sternly represSed and the offenders
severely punished.
every precaution must be taken to
safeguard the health and efficiency Of
our war workers.
eve must adopt system of univer-
sal military training, to be ready to do
our part, either as member of a
league OF nations or as an independent
nation standing alone for our national
ideals. Proper physical training should
be incorporated into the school sys-
tenn
81 favor the granting of homestead
rights to all honorably discharged SOL
diers and sailors
"The question of government owner
ship of railroads and other utilities
should be considered earnestly and
with complete freedom from preju-
dice.
Congress having proposed refer
endum on national prohibition, our
state having passed as local option law.
| believe these questions are where
they properly belong in democracy
such as ours--in the hands of the peo-
rle.
Il stand for the amendment of the
Federal Constitution to provide for the
extension of the voting right to the
women of this nation.
81 believe in the adoption of a sci
entjically prepared tariff law which
will adequately but not unreasonably
protect American industry from a trade
invasion after the war.
II stand firmly for q revision of our
laws relating to immigration and nat
uralization"
