PRIORITY BRANCH, WHY 1T IS NEEDED System in This Country to Be Modeled on England’s Washington, D. C.,, Aug. the War Industries Board is deter- mining what shall be done in this country regarding priority, a commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States which is co-operat- ing with the Council of National De- fense believes it may be well to pre- sent to business men what has been done in England toward solving the problem as it exists there. Accord- ingly, the National Chamber commit- tee has issued a special war bulletin on the subject. The priority branch in England has for its function the bringing about of harmonious actions between the con- flicting demands of the different de- partments of the Ministry of Muni- tions, of the Admiralty, the War Office and other government offices, the rail- roads, the mines and other quasi-pub- lic service and approved industry. ‘Where Neced of Priority Branch Existed. All these different public interests were in more or less active competi- tion among themselves for their share of raw materials, manufacturing ca- pacity, and labor of the country. The priority branch was created in recog- nition of the fact that the decision between these several interests could not be left in war time to the uncon- trolled operation of prices. The priority branch is under the Ministry of Munitions and has been gradually developed from an informal committee that was constituted in September, 1915, over a year after the war started. ‘When this committee was organized the National Chamber committee bul- lctin outlines, it consisted of represen- tatives of a few of the departments of the Ministry of Munitions of War. From time to time the membership has been increased until it now num- bers at least a score who represent not only the important departments of the Ministry—such as guns, small arms, gun ammunition, small arms ammunition, machine tools, raw ma- terials, labor supply, and the like, but also the Admiralty, the railway de- partment, India Office, War Office, contract department, Post Office, the Office of Works and lastly of much importance the Board of Trade. The Board of Trade is expected to repre- ment the interest of private industry. Minister of Munitions May Be Finally Appealed To. The committee meets every day and no priority can be granted unless all 7.—While | present agree. One objection rejects an application but this decision is not final. The representative of the in- terested department may withdraw the application and refer the matter through the chief of his department to some one representing the Minister of Munitions (who is the final aus thority) for example the assistant sec- retary of the Ministry. It is stated that in practice the number of cases in which the action of the commit- tee has not been accepted as final has been remarkably few. At the outset and for five or six months the priority committee acted only on cases presented to it by the government departments or by man- ufacturers, according to the National Chamber committee bulletin. 1t grad- ually became clear that these cases represented only a fractlon of what the committee could do with advan- tage. Therefore in March, 1916, there was issued an order which became famous in the English industrial world as “Circular 1, 33.” This creat- ed the semi-automatic machinery under which a manufacturer in- { structed as to priority by the com- mittee could himself issue certificates to bring about similar priority -on materials of sub-contracts for his contract. How Work Is Ciassified. “Clrcular L 33" was revised on March § of this ycar and now by or- der of the minister of munitions all ! persons engaged in certain industries have thelr work divided into three | classes—A, B and C. A is war work, B other work of national importance, and C is all work not comprised in the other two. Class A comprises work or material wholly required as a component part of any work or goods to be carried out or supplied under (a) A government war contract which signifies: 1-—Any contract placed by the admiralty, the war of- fice or the minister of munitions; 2— Any contract for naval or military equipment placed by an allled gov- ernment by or with the consent in writing ‘of the admiralty, the war office, or the minister of munition: (b) Certified war work which sig- nifies: 1—Work on a contract o o der which the admiralty, the war of- Patriots Enlisted in Name ........

Government Work Not Compulsory. The manufacturer is not compelled to accept work from the government and when a manufacturer accom« fice, or the minister of munitions has certified in writing to be war or mu- nition work; 2—Work which the min. ister of munitions has directed to be treated on an equality with war work. (c) Merchant shipping work cer: tified in writing by the board of trade to be munitions work. The priority branch grants priority in class as follows: 1—Must urgent war work. —Very urgent war work. Irgent war work and 4—War work. In addition there is an emergency classification which takes precedence over all. Where Priority Control Exists in England. The industries branch ffected by the prior- follows: Al trades manufacturers in of meta machine gricultural implements and vehicl the repairing of m chinery or plant for use in industr. woodworkin, Also pottery and glass trades; buildings and works of construction; textile trades and manufacture; lin- oleum, oilcloth and table baize man- ufacture; rope, twine, and line trades and manufactire; manufacture of coal tar products, dyestuffs, and other chemical products; manufacture of lubricating oils, and other lubricants, oil sced crushing. And the manufacture of soap and candles, , paints, colors, and varnish kets and wicker work; letterpresses and lithographic print- ing; papermaking; leather trades and manufacture; boot, shoe and clog manufacture; manufacture of coke, rubber, trades and manufacture; wa- terproofing of fabrics of paper: elec- tricty, gas and water services; stone, ity and are as ou | I a list of all of his orders, giving cus- marble, granite, and slate quarrying, panies an order to another manufac- turer, with a certificate which would entitie this order if eccepted, to prior- | ity, the manufacturer.to whom the order is tended need not accept the order unless he desires to sell. There is, however, strong indirect pressure to accept priority orders because a priority order gives assurance that steel and other scarce raw materials may be secured, that transportaton will be afforded, and also that a plant engaged upon priorly work will have an adequate supply of labor. The priority committee issues or- ders from time to time that no scarce material shall be used except on Class A work or Class A and B work. The steel controller receives weekly re- ports from rolling mills giving the schedule of rollings, actual rollings, the shipments, and of great impor ance, a statement of reasons for r tarded output. The reports require the name of each customer and the priority class in which the order is entered. The prlority committee thus has actual control over all work done in the steel business. Reports are required of all stocks in Great Britain of certain listed | scarce material, and from time to time the minister of munitions takes possession of all stocks of certain character. This has been done with regard to brass, brass scrap, copper and copper ore. From time to time the priority branch requests of the manufacturer, w tomer’s name, and full particulars in- cluding what proportion of the work be abrogated. Thereafter, each coal producing district may sell coal only for delivery in certain stipulated areas. It is estimated that this ar- rangement will affect a saving of 700,000,000 ton miles nearly in the transportation of coal by the railways. PROBATE OOURT NEWS.
