GENERAL INSTHITCTIONS. 



As it is obviously impossible to prepare at one time lists of 

 articles or industries which are complete, the lists herein pub- 

 lished are subject to revision from time to time by additions or 

 reductions. 



The volume or quantity of production when not specifically 

 limited to a definite amount must in no case exceed the normal 

 current demand, and it is incumbent upon manufacturers to sat- 

 isfy themselves that stocks do not accumulate, either with them- 

 selves, their dealers, jobbers or distributors, or ultimate con- 

 sumers. 



These regulations supersede War Service Committee letter of 

 September 23, 1918, and are supplemental to Circular No. 24 

 issued by the Priorities Division of the War Industries Board, 

 and the spirit of that circular is to be appreciated and followed 

 in applying the regulations and restrictions herein contained. 



After receipt of this notice no article shall be produced, except 

 as herein provided, until a ruling has been obtained. Manufac- 

 turers producing articles other than those listed should imme- 

 diately request rulings upon the classifications under which they 

 may or may not be produced. 



The above paragraph is modified to the extent that goods in 

 process of manufacture may be completed to prevent actual loss, 

 (joods in process, however, do not include compounds which inay 

 be on hand especially prepared for specific purposes. These 

 compounds should be worked over for the production of essen- 

 tial articles. The control of production applies equally to orders 

 or commitments which may be in hand. Orders on hand for non- 

 essential articles may either be cancelled or held in abeyance 

 subject to further instructions from the War Industries Board. 



Forms for use in making applications for classifications of 

 articles or uses will be supplied by the War Service Committee 

 upon request, stating number required. (Address, 52 Vanderbilt 

 avenue. New York City.) These applications should be made 

 out in triplicate and forwarded to the War Service Committee 

 of The Rubber Industry, 808 Colorado Building, Washington, 

 D. C. A ruling will then be obtained from the War Industries 

 Board and transmitted to the applicant. 



Export— The pledge provided in paragraph 10, Circular 24, is 

 not required to cover export shipments, but manufacturers are 

 required to satisfy themselves that shipments are to be exported 

 liy personal inspection of export license. 



CONTHOL OF PRODUCTION FOR VARIOUS CLASSES. 



Cl.\ss I. 



Production of all rubber products for the Government is lim- 

 ited only by orders in hand except that all rulings of the Con- 

 servation Division of the War Industries Board apply to this 

 class unless a special exception is made by the Rubber Section 

 of the War Industries Board. 



Crude rubber consumed will be replaced in full under War 

 Trade Board plan "A" Allocation. (See The Inpia Rubber 

 \\'0RLD. October 1, 1918, page 13.) 

 Class II. 



Sufficient production of articles in this class is authorized to 

 supply essential requirements of those engaged in industries on 

 the preference list of the War Industries Board designated as 

 Division "A," and individual manufacturers who have been given 

 preferential treatment designated as Division "B." 



These lists will be revised from time to time according to de- 

 cisions of the War Industries Board. .Applications may be made
