Work Divided With View to Giving
Precedence Over Less Essential
Orders and Insuring Deliv
ery on Date Specified.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. Far-reaching
priority regulations were put Into effect
tonight by the War Industries Board to
expedite the production of war sup
plies. They apply to all individuals, firms,
associations and corporations engaged
'.n the production of copper, iron and
steel, and in the manufacture of their
products; chemicals, cotton duck and
woolen clotb and all such other raw
materials and manufactured products
as may be deemed necessary later.
Priority in the production of coal and
c6ke. of food or feeds. Is not adminis
tered by the priorities committee of the
War Industries Board, but comes under
the fuel or food administrations.
The committee, however, will consid
er applications for priority assistance to
procure tools, equipment or supplies for
the production of these commodities.
All Work Classified.
Hereafter all work Is divided into
four general classes, instead of three,
as heretofore.
Class AA, which must take prece
dence in all plants over everything else,
will comprise only emergency war work
of a special or urgent nature.
Class A comprises all other war work
such as arms, ammunition, destroyers,
submarines, airplanes, locomotives, etc,
and the materials or commodities re
quired in their production.
The third class, designated B. will
include work not primarily designed
for the prosecution of the war, but be
ng of public Interest and essential to
the National welfare.
The final class, C. for which no cer
tificates will be issued, will comprise
all other work.
"The classification of an order," the
committee states, "simply means that
it shall be given such precedence over
orders of a lower classification as may
be necessary (and only such as may be
necessary) to insure delivery on the
date specified in the order.
Greatest Efficiency Sonerai.
"It does not mean that work should
cease on orders of a lower classifica
tion or that the order should be com
pleted and delivery made in advance
of orders taking lower classification if
this is not necessary to effect delivery
within the date specified.
"The one to whom a priority certtfl
cats is directed should make his own
production plans so as to get the max!
mum of efficiency out of his operations,
making all deliveries at the times con
tracted far. if possible, and where this
Is not possible, giving precedence to
the orders taking the highest classlfi
cation.
Blanket certificates of priority will
not be Issued in any case. Certificates
will apply only to specific orders for
materials, commodities of work.
Application Methods Qeflned.
Application for priority should be
made by the person placing the order tn
the name of the department for which
the order is placed, but provision is
made for Government contractors to
make application direct if their need is
urgenL
The regulations are subscribed to by
the secretaries of War and Navy, the
chairman of the Shipping Board, the
president of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and the chairman of the Coun
cil of National Defense.

WALDPORT TALKS SPRUCE
Loosing; of Huge Tract Is to Be Vn-
dertaken at Once.
NEWPORT, Or.. Feb. 4. (Special.)
The citizens of Waldport and vicinity
are optimistic over the outlook for the
establishment at an early date of an
extensive spruce logging enterprise
near that place.
Just south of Waldport is a tract of
spruce about 1000 acres in extent.
which cruises over a billion feet ot
prime timber. Special Agent Nelson,
who recently made a thorough exami
nation of this timber, says it is the
finest body of spruce he has seen any
where in the Northwest. An advance
party of engineers is now on the
ground and a messhouse manager now
at Waldport is contracting for supplies
in large quantities.
From him it is learned that it Is in
tended to have a force of at least 600
men at work there aa soon as neces
sary arrangements can be made. This
lumber Is to be used in the aeroplane
industry. "

OREGON'IAJf NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 4. Representative naw
lov at the instance of the Bay City
Shipbuilding Company, today made the
rounds of the Shipping Board, in an
effort to learn whether that and other
companies, if unable to get contracts
direct from the Shipping Board, will
be permitted to take wood snip con
tracts from American citizens or any
of the allied governments, on terms
which would permit them to complete
negotiations and get down to construc-
tion- . ' ,
Mr. Hevworth. in charge of wood ship
construction, later told Air. riawiey tnai
if the Bay City company win negotiate
a definite contract and submit it, the
board will pass on it, and if it does
not decide to take over the- contract
on Government account, win release ii
from commandeering, ana permit me
company to nulla tor a private yui
chaser. But he suggested that Mr.
Hawlflv before writing his constitu
ents, consult Mr. Burling, head of the
legal division. Shipping uoara.
Mr. Barling Interviewed.
-Under t'.ie law." said Mr. Burling,
"the Shipping Board cannot agree to
waive the right to commandeer."
Mr. Burling referred air. riawiey to
Mr. Radford, head of tne contract ai
"The RhiDD ng Board cannot agree
not to commandeer ships built in the
United States." said Radford, "but if
the Bav City company will submit its
contract, and we find wo do not want
the shlDS. and if we rind that tneir
construction will not interfere with the
Government programme, we may be
able to fix up some arrangement Just
as good as the waiver ot the right to
commandeer."
. Hawley Forms Conclusions.
Titr. Hawlev's remarks following his
visit to the Shipping Board, ha being
Methodist, were fit to print, dui
translated into the language of the
everyday man, would not be fit to
print. Mr. Hawley says it is clear to
him that the Shipping Board "doesn't
know where it is at." As long as the
nresent policy continues, he thinks it
will be impossible for private yards to
take and execute contracts ror Amer
ican citizens or for the allied govern
ments. , '
In all his conferences Mr. Hawley
tried to impress upon officials the need
for building more ships on the Pacific
Coast shlDS other than those wmcn
the ShlDDing Board itself is contract
ing for. Unless private, building is
allowed to proceed, $e said, there will
be a shortage of tonnage for handling
the coastwise and trans-Pacific trade
and a shortage of ships to move the
Northwest grain to the' Atlantic sea
board.
BOLO PASHA IS ON TRIAL
(Continued From First Psge.)
tened stolidly and unmoved to the
reading of the long Indictments, which
charged him with having maintained
communication with the enemy and
with treason.
A conspicuous figure in the court
room was Madame Bolo. who was sur
rounded by a number of friends who
will testify during the proceedings.
As soon as the indictment had been
read Bolo's counsel moved for an ad
Journment. taking the ground that
certain witnesses would be unable to
appear for him.
Madame Calllaux Prostrated.
The state announced that Madame
Calllaux, wife of ex-Premier Joseph
Caillaux, whose name has been men
tioned prominently In connection with
that of Bolo Pasha, was too ill to
come into court, but that M. Caillaux
would be brought before the court
from his cell in Sante Prison whenevr
he was wanted.
The third defendant, Filippo Caval
linie, was absent, owlns to the fact
that he is under arrest irt Italy.
The indictment charges Bolo Pasha
with having maintained communication
with the enemy in Switzerland in 1915
and In Paris the same year, when he
received German money from Cavallinie
to further the pacifist movement;
the United States in 1916 for having
received through Adolph Pavenstedt,
once head or a rew lorK DanKing
house, and the Deutsche Bank, Ger
man money to influence the French
newspapers, and for advancing money
to the director of the Paris Journal.
Broad smiles passed over the faces of
those in the courtroom when Paven
stedt, the ex-Khedlve of Egypt, Abbas
Helnti, and the latter's minister, Yous
suf Saddik Pasha, were called as wit
nesses and their absence from the
courtroom formally noted.
Bolo's counsel. In demanding the ad
Journment, said that many witnesses
for the defendant, as well as some of
his accusers, were in entente allied or
neutral countries, but their presence
was possible, by extradition or other
wise.
He mentioned particularly M, Plgna
tcl, director of the Royal Bank of Can
ada, and Pavenstedt, one of Bolo's chief
accusers. lie said it would be easy to
secure the testimony of Pavenstedt, be
cause he was Interned in the United
States and could be extradited without
difficulty. Counsel likewise demanded
that witnesses in Spain be procured,
and even the ex-Khedive of Egypt, who
is in Constantinople, could be brought
to Paris.
The state replied to the demand of
counsel for the defendant by saying
telegrams had been addressed to each
of the witnesses, but that none of them
had answered. -
The state's counsel added that Pav
enstedt, the -ex-Khedlve, and Youssuf
Saddik Pasha could appear only in the
role of accusers, which would be un
necessary, as the state was In posses
sion of sufficient evidence.

WASHINGTON. Feb.' 4. A 50 per
cent reduction in the volume of Im
ports is one of the measures under con
sideration by the Administration to
make available ships for transporting
troops to France.
Overseas transportation is-recognlzed
as the real problem facing the Govern
ment in its effort to put on the firing
line a big fighting force and keep it
in supplies.
Estimates of the amount of tonnage
necessary to keep an Army supplied
vary all the way from four to seven"
tons in continuous service for each
man engaged.
The united States now has In all
services about 4,000,000 tons of ship
ping, of which probably one-fourth is
engaged In bringing materials hereto
fore regarded as essential to the Na
tional industrial life.
If negotiations now under way with
neutral countries are concluded suc
cessfully a large amount of neutral
tonnage will be used to supplant Amer
ican ships engaged in the non-hazard
ous trades.
In addition to its effort to obtain
neutral tonnage, the Government ex
pects soon to take over all American
sailing ships and a large number of
French sailing ships, all of which will
be in the non-hazardous trades. This
move will add some tonnage to that
available for bringing in Imports.
If a cut in imports Is made, the Gev
rnment will select for elimination a
list of articles which it regards as not
essential In the prosecution of the war.
Imports of certain materials, includ
ing nitrates and manganese, must be
kept up to a maximum.
Officials who are working out de
tails of the transportation of troops
have not disclosed to what extent the
allies are ready to assist with a loan of
tonnage, but many American soldiers
will go abroad In allied vessels. This
was arranged for in the inter-alMeii
conference at Paris, and was announced '
on the return to the United States ot
Colonel Edward M. House.
Shipping Board officials estimate
America's shipping output during 191S
at from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 tons, mucli
of which they expect to become avail
able in the Summer.
Supplies for the allies and for the'
American Army abroad still are piling '
up faster than they can be transported
and it is estimated that more than a
million tons of cargo are awaiting
shipment along the Atlantic Seaboard.
