FOR NONESSENTIALS
War Demands Necessitate
Further Cut in Supply for
Other Industries
New York. July 30,

NEW nOTk, July 81.
Demands of Government and pri.
vate war industries for steel have
reached such huge proportions. with
repeated expansion of the nations
to "less essential" manufactures must
be continually reduced, 1t is an.
nounced by J. l.. Replogle, Federal
steel administrator.
MIR. Replogle. after comforting with
Charles NJ. Schwab. director general
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation;
Edward n. Hurley. chairman of the
United States shipping board; j. A.
Bonner. representing the American
Iron and Steel Institute. and heads OF
the country's leading steel firms, de-
clared there was no cause for alarm
over the steel situation as 1t affects
shipbuilding. munitions making and
other activities vital to the war.
Mr.. Replogle said the greatest diff
Guilty the Government faces is not "A

cient quantity This condition is being

Developments of the shipbuilding in
dustry far beyond the most sanguine
estimates from year ago. Mr.. Re.
plogle continued. has created a de-
mand for plate steel which has ex-
ceeded the capacity of all the plants
equipped for this type of work. Steel
for munitions and for other war sup
plies also has been required by the
Government in greater quantities than
the manufacturers have been able to
meet.
Obviously. the administrator said
| steel has been available for industries
not essential in the prosecution of the
war. but the allowance to these con-
Germs. he declared. will grow less and
less as equipment is installed In tn.
''more essential" industries.
Mr.. Replogle announced that in con
ference at Washington today with
representatives OF the war industries
board and the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration distribution will be made OF
the available supply Of steel to various
shpyards and other war work plants
together with allotments to private in
dustry.
Schwab Satisfied With Outlook
Mr.. Schwab was enthusiastic over
the future of American shipbuilding
when he came out of the conference
with the steel men. He said there
was mo reason for unusual alarm" ir
regard to the supply of manufactured
materials for steel ships.
"Steel in large quantities is avail
able" said MIR. Schwab. THE only
question is its distribution. and thai
will be taken care of by Mr.. Replogle
