Detroit. May ?1.-A. Mitchell Palm

throughout the Western Hemisphere.
In an address here Mr.. Palmer de-

economic and political value far greater

their owners and turning these profits
over after the war unless Congress die

Reading, Pa. May 2l.-A house fam

The Chamber of Commerce recently be-
gan an inquiry and learned that 1000
dwellings, could easily be filled with wait

other families in the city Manufacture

the Government had not discouraged
building operations OF account of the
war and If contractors were not facing
famine in material
Contractors can get enough material
for one or two houses, but when it comes
to building a row the material men offer
no bids and the contractor can get no
start.

Government Man Declares
Car-Shortagc Problem
Near Solution

ninntown. Pa. May IT --NIrtuaI re-
moNdl of the car-shortaGc problem as
factor in retarding the war program.
in :" far as il concerns the Counels-
willie COX" region. places the resrons-
bilitN for a greatly increased produc-
tton upon the operators. Warren s
BIauVelt. chief Of the coke division Of
the fuel administration, told an assembly
OF 900 operators at an important con-
ference here.
IA tn" sam" time lie presented a
plan which. II properly applied. the fuc'
administration believes. will have a
great effect in stahilizng labor. While
the car shortage had not been entirely
solved, Mr. Elauvclt told the operators,
IT was 80 much nmprUN ed that he was
adj" to promise Il maximum supply Of
cars to all operators delivering cxclu-
SiNely TO essential war industries
He pointed out that the coke region
now could have its maximum supply
OF cars because there were no crops
moving, but that the Government in
tended laying up a surplus Of coke at
the essential manufacturing plants
against tn" time when the cars must be
withdrawn from the region for other
vitality essential purposes.
Any semhlanCe of PrusSan methods Is
abhorrent to the Government, Mr.. Blau-
Welt said. and it was the purpose to
secure the surplus through patriotic CO.
operation Of employer and cmploye with
the Government At the same time he
intimated that if the results were not
forthcoming other measures would be
applied
circulation of a pledge among both
operators and miners, placing them on
their honor as Americans to do their
utmost wherever they are placed toward
increasing output was the plan pre-
scented by Mr. BluuNelt as ~ means of
stabiIizing labor. The signer Of the
, pledge agrees not 10 miss a day. work
