AUToFACT0R|ES
ARE CONVERTED.
TO war WORK
Output of Machines Decreases
As Manufacturers Turn
Facilities to Aiding
War Plan.

Evidence of the manner in which
the automobile industry is convert
ing to war work was shown at the
meeting of the National Chamber of
Commerce recently when the traffic
committees report showed carload
shipments of automobiles for the
month of September to have been
only ll,700 as compared with 20,53S
for the same month last year. One
plant after another is converting to
war work as rapidly as possible,
some of them with Is per cent Of
capacity for the government, with
others on full 100 per cent basis
Many Big Contracts.
It was estimtted at yesterdays
meeting, at which Charles Clifton
presided and which was attended by
103 manufacturers, that contracts for
government work to an amount ex-
ceeding $800,0O0,000 have been taken
by the automobile industry, result
ing in a continued curtailment of
passenger car production as the
work of conservation is brought
about. This includes the making of
airplane motors, tanks, tractors,
trucks, mine anchors, trailers, guns,
rifles, revolvers, recoil mechanisms,
steel helmets, ambuiances, field
guages and scores of other articles
for the war program.
Probably no other industry in the
country of similar size or impor-
lance has sacrificed 80 much of its
product to supply the government
needs in a big way as the automo-
bile industry which is the third larg-
est manufacturing industry of the
country.
Normal Gas Supply.
At a meeting OF the truck manu-
facturers in the afternoon, the max
ers listened to reports Of the gaso-
line and tire situation which indi-
Gated ample future normal supplies
for all useful motor car driving.
The makers are carrying on a
campaign for conservation of all
kinds OF materials used in automo-
bile factories, including repair parts,
with the elimination of equipment
of character not absolutely essen
tial.

Packard Employees
and Company Take
Two Million in Bonds

Nearly 100000 worth Of Fourth
Liberty bonds were bought by
Packard employees and the Packard
Motor Car company in the drive
just closing. The company sub
scribed for million dollars worth,
and the men and women who are
making airplanes, trucks and air
plane engines for the army and
navy bought $S63,650 worth. In
both cases company, and employees
obeyed the injunction to double
it."
The eagerness manifested by the
workers to subscribe was signih-
cant. Those who were absent on
the day of the factory canvass
voluntarily signed up for $4,000
worth the following day.
The highest average, $99.l0 per
man, was realized in the foundry
department, which includes the
largest foreign-born element in the
plant. Girls in the technical train
ing school, preparing for work at
the lathe and drill, bought $16,50O
worth, an average of $40 per sub
scriber.
Individual subscriptions were
large in many cases. An elevator
man said Put me down for $500"
He had already bought.$l 900 worth
of the previous issues. A similar
amount was taken by plating
room employee, who expects to pay
for the bonds in full as soon as they
are issued. -

Sioux Falls, July 2.-Relatives and
friends in Grant county have received
a telegram announcing that Earl A.
Webster, a former resident of South

as a lineman.
A power wire of the Chicago, Mil

Webster had sawed off the limb
and undertook to throw 1t clear OF

carrying $500 volts, the whole OF
this passing through his body and
killing him instantly.
A fellow employee who was at the
foot of the tree was powerless to aid
him and gave the alarm. Webster
was about 35 years old, and is sur
vived by a widow and two children.

London, July 2.-Divergent views
were expressed recently in two public
speeches on the question will wom-

factories and the fields after the
war;"
F. G. Kellaway, parliamentary sec
rotary to the munitions ministry
said, Women have come to stay.
They have come to increase the
wealth of this country. The ministry
of munitions have recognized their
worth and has acted accordingly in
the arrangement of wages. That ar
rangement forms the charter for
women in the future. 1t has put
women on an assured basis"
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Edward Hutton,
speaking at Chertsey said: WON

far too well to interfere with men

available and women will return to
