LABOR PROBLEM IN FUTURE
Days Of Big Pay and Unlimited

GERMANY TO USE BIG FUNDS

CCorrespondence OF the Associated Press
BERLIN. oct. 1.-THE men and the

Of the workers realize that the days Of
big pay and unlimited work are not going
to last forever, and that with peace Is

sible hardship. and they are saving their
money
The bulk Of the workers. however. are

when several hundred thousand II not

Though the moro optimistic believe that

nevertheless. that even such a desira bic
solution OF the impending problems means
the displacement OF many now at work,
and that Il presupposes an almost imme-
diate resumption of the old volume OF in
dustry and trade.
The biggest problem Is that of the adult
male workers. who. with the advent OF
peace, can easily create an unprecedented
unemployment situation. other problems
are those OF the young men. boys for the

Advertising Falls
Off in Berlin

Correspondence OF The Associated Press
BERLIN, Feb. 20.-Although the war
has naturally caused a great increase in
the reading OF newspapers. this fact ap-
peers 20 have brought no pecunlary ad-
vantage 20 the newspapers themselves
This ia evident from statement Just is
sued by the Society OF German News
paper publishers, given out at a conven-
ton held In Berlin. This statement says
that the public holds quite erroneous
views about the prosperity OF the news
papers; that while they have. indeed, in
creased their sales, receipts from adver-
tlsng-the largest source of income for
all newapapers-have been sharply re-
duced. In some cases by more than one
half. On the other hand. the expenses
in the editorial departments have greatly
Increased. and the cost of paper has be-
come such a serious matter as to cause
the suspension of a number OF pubiica-
lions.
The statement appeals 20 the govern
ment 20 fix maximum prices for paper,
in order 70 insure the continued and
regular publication OF the newspapers,
The government Is also asked 10 adopt
measures, after consultation with the
Society Of Publishers. for restricting the
consumption OF paper as long as the war
lasts.
