costs are under the established lin

construction, must be able to acquire
enough material to complete the
project without priorities assistance.
Furthermore, the project must not
require the use of any material, on
the site or off the site, to supply
electricity, gas, water, steam, tele-
phone or sewage disposal service.

the order, namely, the conservation
of materials, labor and construction

Great Lakes Utilities Co.
Liquidation Approved
By the Associated Press.

~ tAAC ACSOOldbco EICoos
PHILADELPHIA, April 4-The
Securities and Exchange Commission
approved today an amended plan for
the liquidation and dissolution of the
100000 Great Lakes Utilities Co.
The s. E. C. has petitioned United
States District Court here for final
approval of the plan and a hearing
has been set for April 81. The S.
z. c. said that submission Of the
plan to security-holders for approval
should be dispensed with in the
interest of economy"
The company and its subsidiaries,
which supply artificial and natural
gas, in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois. Vir-
ginia and South Dakota, sought dis
solution because the combination OF
its properties did not lend itself
TO successful refunding operations.
The plan provides postponement
for a year of the May l maturity
date Of its 81 $685. of 51z per cent
first lien collateral trust bonds to
provide time during which sale Of
its properties may be effected at
fair and reasonable prices.
1t also stipulates, the S. E. C. said,
that when the bonds have been paid
in full ANY remaining cash or other
assets Of Great Lakes. after payment
of the company's debts, shall be
distributed ratably to the stock
holders. ."
Outstanding are Isl, ,431 shares Of

from Washington that involves a
certain article, there is a rush to
buy. Right now it is mems cloth
ing. At other times 1t was jewelry,
hosiery, or toilet goods"
While the complaints about scare
buying were not universal they ap-
peared to come from enough CEN
ters to indicate the problem was
widespread. Typical was the report
from Baltimore, which said:
"Store officials and the head OF
the retail merchants group say many
non-Easter commodities have been
bought by customers fearing future
shortages, despite store ads urging
that buying be restricted to irlme-
date needs"
Pittsburgh, its steel mills running
near capacity in q war boom, gave
what appeared representative pic
ture of the dominated indus
trial cities, when 1t reported dollar
sales running well ahead Of 1929
The treasurer of q big department
store there said:
Business is running between so
and 40 per cent over last Easter,
We haven't noted much boarding,
but some advance buying which we
do not believe viii be reflected in
future sales, as people will wear
what they buy, and will not save
extra clothing for future needs.
Most of the advance buying has
been noted in the mems depart
ment, with suits, topcoats and over
coats moving better than they did
a year ago at this time"

Ford in 1916. The following year
he married Josephine Clay, sister
of Mrs. Edsel Ford.
In 1923 he was elected a director
of the Detroit, Toledo g. Ironton
Railroad, then owned by Henry
Ford, and in 1924 he became vice
president of the Lincoln Motor Co.
Then he became second vice presi-
dent of the Ford Motor Co.
When the Guardian Detroit Bank
was organized in 1926, Kanzler was
named executive vice president and
also a director Of the Union Guar
dian Trust Co. In 1928 he became
president Of the Universal Credit
Corp, organized by Henry Ford
and his associates.
Appraised Needs Quickly.
Within a week after he took over
his job as chief of the War Pro-
duction Boards automotive division
Kanzler said:
THE major companies are COM
pletely showed under in tooling up.
Their own tool rooms are full; they
are placing orders daily wherever
they can. Until these tools Gigs,
fixtures, dies and cutting tools) are
available there are going to be some
idle machines standing around, be-
cause these machines can't be used
for making war materials until
equipped.
THE labor supply is going to be a
major part of our problem. In the
months to come, while tools are be-
ing fashioned great training pro-
gram will have to be undertaken. 4"
Before peak of war production is
reached in the automotive indus
try, Kanzler asserts, between 800 900
and 1,000,0 900 workers will be needed,
compared to $4,000 during peace
time.
THE sooner the need for more
woman workers in industry is ap-
preciated," he adds, @the quicker the
war program can reach a sustaining
pace equal to the demands of the
armed forces"
Kanzler has spent much time try
ing to get management and labor
together on an agreement for rapid
training of tool and die workers by
upgrading of men engaged in other
machine shop occupations.
Several times an agreement was
announced, only to be kicked over, :"
as Kanzler explains it, by one side
or the other. "Haggling over en-
ployment technicalities," he indi-
Gated, was involved.
IF labor and management don't
keep faith-and I mean both of
them-then that is one sure way to
lose this war. That's the way France
went"

lines surpassed usual expectations

The decline In new order VOL

delayed.
Advance buying continued at q

in much the same mood as con-
sumers; according to wholesalers

purchases by the public, due TO false
rumors that the supply Of glass jars
would be cut of before the home
CHASING season started.
THE present sensational demand
from distributors and retailers for
glass containers, created by the con-
sumner rush. has caused many glass
container manufacturers to hesi-
tate to accept orders in large guam
titles now. They are not properly
.geared to deliver this off-season
volume, they state. Some manufac-
turers have withdrawn set prices
on glass containers, due to the un-
settled conditions.
This situation has created addi-
tional rumors to the effect that
when the regular CHASING season
rolls around no glass containers will
be available for home use, especially
in preserving fruits. This is not the
true statement Of facts. The man
ufacturers, provided there are nc
drastic rulings from washington,

Conseripiion Of Building
Industry Predicted
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich, April 4.-The
construction industry will be the
next big business in the United
States to be converted 100 per cent
TO the war effort, Thomas s. Holden,
president OF r. w. Dodge Corp.
and publisher OF real estate analyses,
told the Michigan Society Of Archi-
tects last night.
"As soon as the long-expected
order forbidding all civilian con-
struction except that which is
licensed as essential is promul-
gated" Holden said, "the industry
will be conscripted 100 per cent.
Last year 1t was estimated the in
dustry was conscripted to the extent
of about so per cent; during the
past three months, about 80 per
cent"
The building industry is faced
with its greatest job. he declared,
explaining 1t must produce in 1912
its greatest volume Of construction
in record time, while beset with
shortages Of labor and vital ma
terials.
Fear Of a postwar depression Is
unsound. Holden asserted, contend
ing on the contrary that the Ma
ton may have dificulty control
ing a postwar boom.
IF automobiles, radios. washing
machines, vacuum cleaners and pri-
vate residences are out of produc-
ton no longer than IL or Ia
months" he said, "the demand on
resumption of production is apt to
keep these industries working al
full capacity for several years mere
