States = May Come
West Later

Washington, May 15.-The small city
is going to do its bit of war work.
Munitions aud supplies, now manufac.
tured almost entirely in the great man

tion in eastern states, officials are at
tempting to push government work east
ward They have already refused to per-
nit new factories to be built in Penn
sylvania.
Agents are scouting through the mid
die west for available plants to take
new war contracts. A survey of power
and equipment in the middle west and
the south is being made for use Of the
war industries board in alloting orders.
Betause of congestion, no more con-
tracts and new construction will be per-
mitted in the district east of the Al
leghenies and north of the Potomac for
the present. Power shortage is holding
up work in some eastern sections. Phil
adelphia is sixty thousand to ninety
thousand kilowatts short of electric
power now. Buffalo is trying to provide
more power from Niagara Falls.
Hundreds of small factories are idle
in the middle west, due to sudden de-
crease in civilian needs. They have been
unable to get contracts because rep,
resentatives Of larger eastern industries
got on the ground first and took orders
wholesale without regard to ability to
execute. But agents Of the government
are now seeking out plants which could
do war work with slight changes in
equipment and are rscommeading that
