CROCKERY MAKERS
SEEKING PRIORITIES

Representatives of the crockery in
dustry came before the War Indus
tries Board yesterday. seeking priori-
ties on fuel and materials. The gov
ernment is interested because of the
great amount OF crockery 1t Is hav-
ing to buy for its camps. The indus
try employs about 20,0O0 people, of
whom 1000 are women, but 1t Is only
working s. per cent of time because
Of labor shortage.
1t consumes about 10000 tons Of
coal and per cent Of the natural gas
production annually, and usually re-
quires about eighty cars a day.
Because domestic clay Is gritty It
Is using about 5000 tons of imported
English clay and only 5000 to 10000
tons of Georgia and Florida clay per
annum, and its representatives claim
that until the American clay Is made
cleaner, they must continue to i'm
port clay.
However, as this comes over on ships
otherwise light, which have carried
supplies to the other side, the sea
transportation is not a problem. The
greater difficulty is In handling the
clay from seaboard to Ohio and In
diana. where It is worked up. No
action was taken by the board.
