Tin Salvage From Tubes
Far Below Expectations

War Production Board officials to-
day expressed dissatisfaction with
that phase of the salvage program
whereby customers exchange toilet
goods tubes when they purchase new
articles, after learning that the plan
is netting war production only 40
tons Of critical metal month.
The amount does not satisfy either
the WPB Or the Tin Salvage Insti-
tute, reclaimers of metal tube con-
tainers for the Government. The
institute estimates that during the
first three months of 1912 the Ameri-
can public consumed monthly
average of over 600 tons of metal in
tubes. On this basis far larger
amount should have been salvaged,
it was said.
