BOARD CONDEMNS ALL
NON-ESSENTIAL WORK
Will Refuse Assistance for Buildings
Not Needed for War Work.

All industrial and civic activities
Involving construction work which do
not contribute toward winning the
war have been strongly condemned
by the War Industries Board, and in
every case priority assistance will be
withheld from such projects. Resolu-
tions to this effect were recently
adopted by the board, and will be
given widest publicity in view of the
fact that building operations are be-
ing carried on in many places which
have no connection whatever with
war purposes, and are diverting la
Dor, materials and capital from i'm
perative war needs.
1t was pointed out that any action
of this sort would have particularly
disastrous results in Washington. be-
cause of the urgent necessity of i'm
mediate erection of buildings to house
government employees.
