ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 3.-Out here
in the gay atmosphere Of Americas
playground five thousand industrial
statesmen from the workaday world
have gathered to grapple with the mo-
mentous problems incidental to the re-
adjustment of the country's productive
units to a peace basis.
Disqualification of war industries is
not their prime object. They are zeal
ously eager to forge new instruments
for the harnessing of the productive
energy released during the tension of
TIE war by the patriotic enthusiasm of
the people and the pressure of dire
need with their own dreams for great
expansion and new crevation of stand
ards OF business.

Behold the Rooster!

The rooster has always been a force
In the Bible he is recognized, and wher-
ever man has dwelled he was consid-
cred 81 necessity. He has played his
part in the literature of all the Ian
guages. His superior and harmless con-
ceit in thinking that his crow caused
the sun to rise has been the theme
of a poem by great man. Now he is
the subject Of legislation. If he is ban
ished from the urban sections every
where, we must not kick when eggs are
10 cents apiece. If we got so squeam-
ish when We hear him crow once Il day.
We may get our nerves SO sensitively y
attuned that we will have to dwell CON
tinually with tan bark and urbber
tires, and there will be never any end
TO finding fault with any noise.
Chickens in cities are something of a
nuisance, but they are only one of
many others.
1t would be interesting to know what
the American boy in the trenches
thinks of any one who felt abused by
the noise of a ROSTERS crow. - Los

in the facilitation of war contracts and
the voluntary ALLEGATION of materials
it was developed that during the wnl
period 427 new kinds of products which
hitherto had been imported were made
in America, many of them before the
outbreak Of hostilitics came from Ger
many and Austria-Hungary.
New Industries Created
For example, Americans in the year
ended June 80, 1911, imported $1,296,.
lS6 OF maenesitc calcind (not purified

Likewise, inthc same year, Americ,
bought S761,l of aluminium manu-
facturcs from Germany; S8I9,725 OF
beads, S936097 OF indigo, $71O145 OF
clocks and parts, and $7,85d 1895 of pot
ash. These items are merely typical
and the growth of American industry
along new lines WAS not confined eX-
clusively to products which in ante

Changes in Laws Urged
Although in their present condi-
tions the resolutions deal to a large
extent with the minutia of special
industries, an indication of their spirit
was given.
The delegates hope to save as a bv-
product of the ewar many of the les
sons learned during the emergency.
For example, there seemed to be a
somewhat general feeling that the prin-
clples underlying the Sherman anti
trust law and the Clayton acts ought
to be re-examned in the light of The
nations war experience. With the per
sonnel of the convention 80 large. there
is naturally a wide difference of opin,
ion as TO the degree of change that

whole subject should be approached
