PRESS ADS PAY Crossties Necessity Of War Says WMC An effort to secure Increased production of railroad crossties has been initiated by the Of fice of Defense Transportation in cooperation with the other government agencies in order to meet what industry heads term a serious shortage. Direc tor J. Monroe Johnson of the ODT said that one of the chief reasons for the decline in rail road crosstie production in the cutting areas, as well as in the receipts at the wood preserv ing plants, has been the short age of labor. In order to combat the labor shortage, he said, the ODT has asked the War Manpower Com mission to survey the labor sit uation in the wood preserving industry, and the executives of the wood preserving companies have been ^sked to give all needed information to the WMC on a confidential basis. ODT officials said they had been advised by the WMC that the commission specifically in cludes the production of cross ties, from the cutting areas to j the concentration points, as n "critical activity". Also, the treating of crossties with creo sote or other preservatives is included as an "essential ac tivity" under the designation "wood preservation activities" on the WMC list, j This effort to keep workers employed In the various branches of the tie-producing industry is only the first step | in an ODT program for stimu ! lating production of this vital item of railroad equipment, Col onel Johnson said.
