WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-"H we put
ourselves down to winning the peace
by drives as we have to winning the
war, the problems OF labor and indus
try In the after-the-war period will be
easily and instantly settled" says
Louis F. Post, assistant secretary Of
Labor:
Mr. Post declares he does not an
ticipate any particular problems in
the readjustment period. I'VE chang
ed quickly from peace to war produc-
tion.'' he said, land 1t seems to me
that there should be no reason why
our factories and our workmen should
not be able to change back from the
war basis to the peace basis as quick
ly, making due allowance for such lack
of raw materials as may exist, due
to seasonal conditions. But, given the
raw materials, plants which were man.
ufacturing articles for peace trade be-
fore the war should be able to reas-
semble their machinery and change
their processes back to the basis OF
peace production without so much
confusion and delay as many people
anticipate"
There is bound to be certain shift
ing of labor from plants at present
solely designed for war work back to
plants that were the big producers
in peace times, Mr.. Post believes; but
he regards the Employment Service
of the Department of Labor as a suit
able agency for handling the problems
that might arise from such shifting
and believes that it will be able to
provide workers with jobs as well
as to provide workmen for employers.
There is an element in the wage
question which may produce industrial
unrest and in that only does the coun-
try face danger from the reconstruc-
ton necessities, thinks Mr.. Post. Even
this may be avoided by intelligent.
agreement and conferences between
labor and employers. However, Mr..
Post declares, eff employers are to
be guided by the type of men who
have figured all through history as
the privileged class, who think it their
religious duty to refuse to deal with
organized men, we will have trouble.
If as much disposition will be shown
by employers to adjust industry and
it's problems as the men they hire,
the possibility of trouble will be re-
duced to a minimum.
THE worker who in peace times
was able to earn $50 week, has
under war wages and war overtime,
frequently has been enabled to go
home with 800 in his pocket, repre-
senting his weeks wages. The man
who has experienced this is not going
to be willing to stand material re-
duction in it. 1t is true, OF course,
that he will be willing to forget the
overtime work he has been putting
in, but even should there be a re-
duction in the cost of living, which.
seems unlikely, however, the worker
is not going to accept a reduction of
his wages to his pre-war basis. That,
however, is a. matter of the individual,
rather than the union.
Collective bargaining will solve
mush of that l feel that there should

Dry GOODS TRADE
IS REPRESENTED ON
SERVICE COMMITTEE.

AT the request OF the government
meeting of the largest dry goods
merchants of the United States was
called in Washington in the early part
Of October at which meeting the gov
eminent informed the retail dry goods
men of the country that it desired
them to organize out Of their own
ranks committee or body with which
the government could confer at any
time on the many subjects of import
ance to the dry goods trade which
would arise during the reconstruction
period following the war. This meet
ing was attended by representatives
from every part Of the country and at
the end Of the conference the War
Service committee was formed, con-
sisting OF eleven Of the largest dry
goods factors.
To carry out the work systematical-
ly the War Service committee has ap-
pointed a State Chairman for each
State War Service committee, such
chairman to appoint his own State
War Service committee. The State
Chairman Of the Indiana War Service
committee is Mr.. F. A. Turner of
Charlottesville. The State committee
is composed of the members of the
Merchants Economy committee of the
Indiana State Council OF Defense
which committee has done such ex-
cellent work throughout the war in
the interests of the retail trade Of
Indiana. Twelve district chairmen
are on this committee, each chairman
being given number of counties to
represent
In this manner the War Service COM
mittee to Washington will be able to
gather data and the thought and opin-
Ion OF the dry goods and ready-to-wear
dealers throughout the State and will
also be In position at any time to
call the chairmen Of the State War
Service committees in consultation on
matters of interest to their trade.
The after the war questions and
problems arising in the retail trade
will be equally as important, II not
more SO, than those which have arisen
during the war Being organized in
this manner, through the State COM
mittees and the original War Service
committee the retail merchants par
ticularly IN the dry goods and ready-to-
wear trade will be in ractically d.
rect touch with the government and
because of this will be able to work
out much more satisfactorily the
many problems arising during the re-
construction period of business.
The District chairmen of the Indiana
War Service committee are represent
alive men in the dry goods trade of
the State. They will have the COOP
GRAFTON of all of the retailers in their
district and in this manner will be of
great value to the business end of the

Red Cross Notes

By the first of January, your Red
Cross will have working in France up
wards of 5000 Americans-a vivid
contrast to the little group of eighteen
men and women which, as the first
Red Cross commission to France,
sailed about June /, 1917, to initiate
our efforts in Europe.
Under your commission to France
the work has been carefully Organi-
zed, facilities have been provided, and
effective efforts made to so cooperate
with the army as to carry out the de-
termination of the American people,
and especially of the members Of the
Red Cross, that our boys lover there"
shall lack for nothing which may add
to their safety, comfort and happiness.
Your Red Cross now has active,
operating commissions in France, in
England, in Italy, in Belgium, in Swift
zerland, in Palestinel and in Greece.
You have sent a shipload Of relief sup
plies and a group of devoted workers
to northern Russia; you have dis
patched a commission to work be-
hind our armies in eastern Siberia;
you have sent special representatives
to Denmark, to Serbia and to the ISL
and Of Madeira.
Your Red Cross is thus extending
relief to the armies and navies of our
allies; and you are carrying a prac-
teal message of hope and relief to
the friendly peoples of afflicted Eur
ope and Asia.
Indeed, we are told by those best
informed in the countries of our allies
that the efforts of your Red Cross to
aid the soldiers and to sustain the
morale of the civilian populations left
at home, especially in France and
Italy. have constituted a very real fac
tor in winning the war.

YOUR GARDEN
(By J. 6. Kline, County Agent.)

(By J. G. Kline, County Agent)
The other day a gardener made the
remark that he wished he had plant
ed twice as many beets and half the
carrots that he grew this year. His
family could have consumed more
beets and were not particularly fond
of carrots.
Now that the gardening season Is
over and the results are still fresh in
your mind, can't you think of some
vegetables, the amount of which
should be increased in your garden
and others which should be decreased
next year? Now is the time to do
this. Make tentative plans for next
years crops and put them on paper,
do not trust entirely to your memory
