BIG LOSS OF OUTPUT
FREEZE-UP IN BRITAIN (10 a.m.) LONDON, May 2. The Board of Trade Journal gives examples of how the February freeze-up affected the production of goods for home consumption in Britain. • Stoppages halved the production of leather footwear and reduced the production of woollen and nonwoollen cloth by one-third. There were also substantial drops in the production of prams and tobacco, but during the first quarter of 1917 there were increases in the production of matches and games equipment.
