fined to essential war work, the Ches-

MES are instructed:
TO confine extensions and better
ments to imperative and unavoida BILE
work to meet war requirements and
the vital commercial needs of the
country. All companies should at
once adopt and enforce such rules and
regulations as may be necessary and
proper to accomplish this result, be-
cause of difficulties incident to war
conditions, of securing adequate sup
plies, labor and transportation"
F. H. Bethel, president of the Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone Com

1T is obvious that service for ship
yards, munitioR plants, federal, state
and municipal governments fall with
in the class which is to receive sery-
ice without question. Service for in
dustries listed by federal government
as non-essential and for residences
fall without this class. There will be
certain border line cases which will
have to be considered specifically on
their merits as they arise"
