mometer room at the corpora ton S
Jefferson avenue plant struck at
noon in a wage dispute, and that
their continued absence might forcA
suspension of Chrysler tank produc-
ton.
The spokesman said the men
struck because they said they want
ed more money and in spite of
the fact they were told that the
corporation had drawn up the
necessary documents to petition the
War Labor Board for a raise and the
question of how much the raise was
to be was being studied by the in
ternational union"
The tank engine production line
will probably have to be shut down"
unless the men return to work to-
morrow. the announcement said.
Edward Carey, financial secretary
of the United Automobile Workers
(CIO) Chrysler Local No. 7, said he
knew nothing of the strike, but said
the union had rejected 10-cent
hourly raise for the testers proposed
by the management
The men involved, Mr.. Carey said
do highly technical work and are
receiving SLIT an hour. He said
the prevailing rate in this area for
similar work is about $l.37 an hour.

Further Restriction
In Use Of Lumber
Seen for Civilians
Commerce Department
Says Consumption
Exceeds Production
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
The Commerce Department said
today that further restrictions upon
civilian lumber use" could be ex-
pected.
The agency said that lumber con-
sumption has been running con-
sistently ahead of production and
further civilian restriction appeared
inevitable because Of the huge
amounts Of lumber needed for ships,
barges. airplanes, gliders, boxes tfor
war itemO and lease-lend.
Last year, the department said,
filling Of lumber orders was made
possible by dipping into reserve in
ventories and importing a record
amount of lumber. particularly from
Canada.
"Oficial effort to restrict the use
of lumber" the department said. lis
expected to reduce 1913 consumption
to about $1,000, 000, 900 feet-20 per
cent less than In 1912 The problem
of filling these needs, however, will
be no less acute.
THE industry enters the new year
with the lowest stocks on record, and
production is currently handicapped
by unfavorable weather Require
ments for restricted consumption can
be met If the necessary labor supply
can be kept on the job and If mills
are supplied with maintenance and
repair equipment"
The department said the industry
was suffering particularly from a
high rate of labor turnover. which in
September cost saw mills IL out of
every 100 employees, and in October
another 10 out of every 100.

'friIIs' 10 Be Eliminated
In Milk Distribution
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Nationwide program to effect
economies in milk distribution
through elimination of frills and
reduction in special services" was
announced today by Secretary OF
Agriculture Wickard to reduce the
cost of marketing.
Mr.. Wickard said the program. in
line with recent order eliminating
extra costs in the production of
bread was being worked out by de-
partment specialists in cooperation
with the dairy industry. and specific
marketing economies should be an
nounced by mid-January.
''We are firmly convinced" Mr..
Wickard asserted. that substantial
economies can be effectuated in
milk marketing from the farm to
the consumer and that the Nation
is fully justified in demanding such
economies of the dairy industry at
this time.
I'VE must maintain production
and if possible increase the produc-
ton of milk. At the same time we
must conserve manpower. rubber
and materials. And We must keep
cost to consumers from advancing.
In fact all practicable measures
must be taken to lower the cost to
consumers Of this primary food"

Senator O'Daniel, Democrat,


Texas.
J. R. Parten, director OF the Petro-
leum Administration Transporter
ton Division, explained I'VE have
more barges than We have power
units to propel them" He added
that barges required five or six
times the horsepower of other means
of oil transportation and that the
building Of sufficient barge engines
would take steel away from pipe
lines.
Mr.. Parten said the program for
construction of barge engines would
not go into effect until next fan.
He estimated this would boost barge
deliveries into the Eastern district
to zoe, 900 barrels a day by the end of
this year, from estimated deliveries
of $4,000 barrels
Asked by Chairman Maloney If
he had all the power he needed to
provide for fuel oil and gasoline
needs, Mr.. Ickes remarked:
mo man has all the power he
thinks he needs, but I have more
than when I last faced you
He preferred not to say what addi-
tional power he needed because sit

added.

it improved.
In Experimental Stage.
Mr.. Eastman testified the con-
version of railroad box cars into oil
cars is still in the experimental
stage, but that the Defense Plants
Corp. has arranged to equip 200 cars
with two different types of lining
for oil shipment. 1t was estimated
they could carry 1000 barrels of oil
a day. He said the question then
would develop; how many box cars
could be spared from other COM
modities for that purpose
The transportation director was
more optimistic about the use of the
new automobile tank trucks. He
explained they would be used for
short hauls from central rail I'M
loading points, and estimated that
on such short hauls one truck may
equal eight railroad tank cars, be-
cause they can make more round
trips in a given time.
He said WPB has given authority
for 1872 such tank trucks for January
and for another 500 to be delivered
later They will release more tank
cars for the long haul from the oil
fields.
Mr.. Henderson said 40 per cent
Of the employees of war industries
were driving to work on the mileage
they obtained from having only "A"
gasoline cards.
He said rationing had produced an
overall cut of 33ls per cent in
Eastern States consumption of fuel
oil and so per cent cut in gasoline
consumed.
Simplified Ration Form.
The new simplif1ed farm gasoline
rationing form. Mr.. letters said, will
wrap up in one package" all in

ments of fuel for farmers trucks,
passenger cars, tractors and other
farm uses. 1t will give wide lati-
tude to local boards, he added, to

line to carry on maximum food pro-
duction.
While there was some disagree
ment between the armed forces and

critics for synthetic rubber plants,
Mr.. Jeffers said the rubber program
was working along very nicely"
Because of this disagreement, he
said, synthetic rubber plant con-
struction was 80 days behind sched-
ule.
