conditions described an "catastrophfcal." and by supply difficulties.
Factories live from hand to mouthy Scrap metal for the electron furnaces
is scraped together from ruined buildings and elsewhere? These condi-
tiors co it difficult for the required gradings of steel to be ob-
tamed but it is stated that the manganese content of the castings for
the cent machinery order has not exceeded 0,35 percent.

ptzer and row of them are therefore taking a raaek.-day off stead of
Sr day. in order to stagger working periods. _%
