All contractors will submit estimates

The great problem, Gays Mr.. Gro

amount due the contractor as a re-
suit of work being reduced or the
termination of the contract. The de-
partment must determine, he points
out. whether contracts shall be COM

be reduced so as to enable the manu-
facturer to gradually get into his pre-
war stride.
The new local boards will take up
the matter Of settlement for concerns
in their respective districts, which will
eliminate the necessity of appeals in
many cases. the department believes.
The department intends to expedite
the work of settlement, declares Mr.,
