have been asked by the war industries
board to furnish in the next week or
ten days a statement of the amount of
steel on hand.
This followed conferences between
the board and Hugh Chalmers, vice
president of the National Automobile
('handier of Commerce.
Manufacturers have asked for
enough steel to found out stock on
hand. They have unbalanced stocks suf
ficient to enable them to operate sev
eral months. The government is pre-
pared t oeommandeer tbr.se stocks it

industry in which the government has
checked up on supplies of steel on
hand.
It is in line with the policy of ob
taining a tighter grip oji steel, sup
plies of 'which are being rapidly dim
inished. Manufacturers last fall agreed vol
untarily to reduce output thirty per
cent and make no plans for the year
after August 1. Possession of inventor
ies will enable the government to as
sure itself there has been no evasion
of this agreement.
Moro . drastic curtailment of steel
allowed to the less essential industries
was forecast today by high government
officials. The government's require-
