NEW ENGLAND HAS
 FILL OF WAR WORK
Further Expansion Of South and
 Middle West Proposed

1 Washington, June 12.-Steady in 1 dustrial expansion in the middle west and south through the placing of war I orders with plants in those sections 1 for the purpose of relieving eastern railroad congestion and labor short age was seen today in the announce
 ment of a new policy of contract al- l location by the war industries board and the fuel and railroad adminis- trations. Tn the transfer of new or ders and plants to the inland dis
 tricts, it was pointed out. no hard ship will be worked on the eastern section.
 The district in which it designated to prevent further expansion, was outlined as follows:
 The New England states, eastern and southern New York, Pennsyl-
 vania as far west as Williamsport
 and Altoona, New Jersey, Delaware
 and eastern Maryland, exclusive of
 Baltimore.
 The aim of the war industries board which passes on the larger portion of the contracts of the war and navy departments and shipping board, according to the new policy, will be to assign contracts to sec tlOIS where tlISpOIIdIlOu VIII not overtax the railroads, denude other
 essential industries of labor and where new and less congested routes to South Atlantic and Gulf ports will be easily available. With a constant supply of coal as the basis for the rapid completion of all war work, 1t is expected a large portion of the new ] orders will go to the districts not far distant from the coal supply Thus in the opinion of officials the 1 new policy will mean an expansion of
 war work plants in western Pennsyl- ! vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West 1 Virginia and other sections of the l Mississippi valley and the south. 1 None of the districts however, it was 1 emphasized, will be affected with gov 1 ernment orders as to cause unnatural industrial bOomS.
