labor AND CAPITAL
ARE LAYING PLANS
Join Hands In Forming Plans for
Employing Labor After the
War Closes.

Correspondence or Associated Press)
London, Jan. 23.--Labor and capt.
tai have Joined hands to work out a
scheme for reinstating in civil en-
ployment after the war the men now
employed in the field or in munitions
factories. The number Of persons now
on government payrolls who will be
discharged after peace is declared Is
from 100000 to 100000, seven
eighths Of whom are men. This rep
resents nearly half the wage-earning
population of the United Kingdom.
Decentralization may extend over
several years. The process will prob
ably begin with the munition work
ers, many of whom are liable to dis
charge at short notice. Army dis
bandment must proceed slowly, and,
unless normal conditions are speeded
up, will be very gradual
The employers decided to combine
with labor in working out this indus
trial reform scheme after the labor
men through the Joint Labor Commit.
tee on Labor Problems after the war
had formulated q list Of concessions
for the men. This committee is rep
resentative Of all the big labor organl-
cations in the country.
The Committee urged that the gov
eminent should make workers In mu-
nitions and other war trades the same
kind Of provision as has been already
promised for the discharged soldier,
including: A months leave on full
pay, free railway ticket to any place
in the United Kingdom. unemploy-
ment benefit available for a year, and
organized facilities for obtaining fresh
employment. A"l
This action led to the meeting OF
leading employers and heads Of the
big trade unions. 1t was realized that
II the huge task Of getting men back
to their old places after the war was
left to the labor exchanges a collapse
was threatened and trouble sure 20
follow. The meeting. therefore, ie-
solved that 1t was necessary to create
a special organization consisting main
ly Of representatives OF employers
and trade unions. Its action is taken
seriously not only because the meet.
ing was presided over by Frederick
HUH Jackson. ohs 'of the governors
Of the Bank Of England. but because
Of the representative character Of
both employer and employed.
The first requisite laid down in the
resolutions passed is the cordial AMI
whole-hearted cooperation of employ
ers and EMPLOYER In any scheme for
dealing with the labor problems.
The substance OF the resolutions
we're: That powers should be obtain
ed from parliament to set up without
delay Central Statutory Board to
regulate and supervise (a) the rein
statement in civil employment Of the
present forces; (b) the settlement in
normal employment OF civilian work.
ers now in government or controlled
establishments; (c) any general re-
distribution Of labor arising out Of
the war.

WEATHER BULLETIN

washington, ~. ", Jan. ZU-LaSt
bulletin gave forecast of disturbance
to cross continent Jan. 20 to "a, warm
wave 10 to 20, cool wave 22 to 26. This
was expected to bring the most severe
storms Of the month and among the
most severe OF the winter. Great
storms are expected in many sections
OF the continent and on the waters
that surround It. Tornadoes, billiards.,
hurricanes may be looked for. Deep
SHOWS are expected In the northern
Rockies and in some of the plains sec
lions east of the Rockies. Heavy
rains on north Pacific coast and deep
SHOWS in Alaska.
Next warm wave will reach Vancou.
yer near Jan. 20 and temperatures
will rise on all the Pacific slope. II
will cross crest Of Rockies by close of
"a, plains sections 25, meridian 80,
great lakes and Ohio valleys 26, east.
ern sections q, reaching Newfound-
land about Jan. 2S. Storm wave will
follow about one day behind warm
wave and cool wave about one day
behind storm wave. 4
This will be continuation Of the
great storm period described in fifth
paragraph. 1t will be particularly
severe in Alaska, on north Pacific
coast and In northern Rockies. East
OF meridian 80 1t is expected to lose
its intensities and become a less Sc.
we're storm. Precipitation OF these
storms is expected to be principally
west OF meridian 80, particularly
heavy west of meridian 100.
Tornadoes may be expected in the
great central valleys south OF latitude
As at any time from Jan. 20 to "a and
tropical storms. particularly in the
East Indies, may be expected during
the tornado period Jan. 20 to "a.
Great earthquakes. where they some.
times occur. are expected at that time.
But earthquakes. tornadoes. hurri.
canes and other great storms come
from the same cause and two OF them
are seldom severe at the same time.
Last warm wave OF January viii

be much the same as the first two
preceding storms.
We hold that Il would not be good
policy to publish prediction OF n
great drouth that would seriously
damage a large section OF the coun'
try. That might cause large In
crease In the cost OF farm products
and greatly damage millions OF PEG
pie. Nor would Il be good policy "a
predict an unusually large production
OF crops. That might damage the
producers by putting prices down
The only practical method we know
Ia to communicate. privately, with
subscribers OF the papers that pub
I lish our work. The crop season OF
4 1917 will be extreme.

Indicative of the growth OF sentiment
throughout the country in favor of the
policy of selective draft for raising the
new army are the expressions Of feeling
upon that subject received by Represent
alive Mansfield of the ninth Texas con-
gressional district.
There is a considerable German merf-
can population in his district, some OF
the towns and hamlets bearing distinc-
lively German names. Recently. Mr..
Mansfield communicated with the leading
citizens of German extraction in those
communities, asking their views upon
selective draft. He has been receiving
replies by wire and by mail and the senti-
ment is found to be overwhelmingly in
favor of the Presidents policy Of selectivs

of particular interest to Confederate
veterans, their families and friends.

revert to the Treasury IL not used ny

ter in charge to authorize the expendi-
lures necessary.
The committee decided to publish
booklet of points of historic interest
This is to bear the insignia OF the Cone
federate veterans on the back cover.

sued for inaugurations, the Grand Army
encampment and like occasions.
