MAKING PLANS FOR
AFTER-WAR TRADE

The time is now ripe for more
centralized, concerted work on
program of economic reconstruction
after the war, says a report made
public last week by the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, De-
partment of Commerce. 1t is the
first of a series of reports to be
issued on this subject and is devoted
to the plans under consideration by
other countries, especially as they
bear on future foreign-trade develop
ments.
"The outstanding fact under OBJ
servation," states the report, lis the
recognition in every land and by
all statemen of the problem called
economic reconstruction. But of
more immediate importance is the
fact that England, France, Italy,
Germany, and Austria are making
preparations to resume their peace
full economic life, with improved IA
cilities for foreign trade, with
national supervision of the use of
natural resources for the benefit of
their own citizens, and with assist
ance from the state"
Attention is called to the achieve
ment of our own Government in pre-
pairing for after-war conditions, such
as the building and organization of
huge merchant navy backed by
large and efficienct shipyards and
docks, the Webb-Pomerene export
trade act authorizing exporters to
combine for export trade, and the
leeway in foreign-trade banking now
possessed by the Federal Reserve
Board and banking system. All told
there has been very considerable
amount of effective work done look
ing toward the future, but much re-
mains undone and the Bureau
is issuing this analysis of European
tendencies as a guide, although call
ing attention to the fact that each
country has it's own peculiar prob
lens that it must work out for it.

Chief of the Bureau, in his introduce
ton, Judging from present COM
ments on the work of the Committee
on Commercial and Industrial Policy
after the War, any present attempt
to lay down complete and binding
policies regarding the future is now
recognized as a waste of effort
What is more important is the as
sembling of facts, taking the basic
step to improve our educational, re-
search, and promotive organizations
and contributing to clear thinking
as to the questions involved. Sooner
or later we must have definite
program in which work and plan:

COW BUTTER STORE

Ben Swanson, proprietor of the
Cow Butter Store, has greatly i'm
proved the appearance Of his place.
The west side of the store, formerly
occupied as meat market, is now
filled with large new stock of
canned goods and a row of show
cases in front of the shelving gives
the place a neat appearance. The
place looks larger, and it is larger
so far as the quantity of fresh new
goods is concerned.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
CANNOT Be CARNISHEED

Just as expected by lawyers, men
in the employment of the railroads
are not subject to garnishment, ow-
ing to the fact that all money derived
from railroad operation is the prop
erty of the government, at least for
the period of federal control. The
government itself has issued official
notice to this effect. 1t is presum-
ed that the rule applies only to en-
ployees of the roads under govern
ment control, and not to the short
line roads which the government did
not take over.

announced by officials Of the organ
ization here this morning.
The strike would spread from New
York TO other cities along the Allan.
tic coast, they said. unless wage de-
manus were granted The number OF
men out here was declared to be be-
tween 1000 and 5000.
Want a @COmPromfse.D
The carpenters want a compromise
like that effected last October be-
tween navy carpenters and the de-
partment.
Al that time the navy yard work
ers wanted $3.50 q day, similar TO the
wage which shipyard workers are re
ceiving on the Pacific coast today
Secretary Daniels and assistant sec
rotary Roosevelt called the heads OF
the carpenters union into conference
at Washington, MI Guerin said. and
an agreement was reached fixing an
eight hour day, a wage of SsS3. a
five percent bonus under certain con-
ditions and two weeks vacation and
all holidays with pay-eGuivalent In
all to $3.50 a day.
Such a compromise now in favor Of
the shipyard workers would be &C
ceptable, Mr.. Guerin declared
Proposal Is Rejected.
The government has rejected q
proposition by the carpenters broth
erhood that the shipWorkers be al
lowed to place a representative on
the labor adjustment board of the
emergency fleet corporation to settle
the present wage controversy, il was
announced by Mr.. Guerin- The ship
workers wanted to appoint such a
representative with the right TO vote
and with powers equal to those held
by government representatives
Contrary to the claims of the broth
erhood leaders, information reaching
shipping board officials here at noon
indicated that fewer than 100 ship
yard workers were on strike today

Some Men To Be Drafted.
The shipyards strike situation will
be taken into consideration by the
local draft board in calling men next
week for the fresh quotas to go into

tor.
Once q month the emergency fleet
corporation reports to draft boards
the names Of its employees of draft
age. The next report is not due IN

Of the next draft about Feb. "a. Mr..
Cabohy said the fleet corporation
would next week be asked TO furnish
the board with the list Of the strikers
liable for draft service, If the strike
is stiil on.
Strikers who are registered under
class one-A and those whose numbers
are low in the list-the men who
would ordinarily have been called had
they not been employed with the fleet
