The recommendations made by the

Will Pool War Resources.
The contribution of the United

was agreed upon. The arrangement
guarantees full equipment of every
kind will be available to all Ameri-

Ships for U. S. Troops.
The extent of the military effort to
be aimed at by the Quilted States was
clearly determined and an allied adj

Through the new inter-allied organi-

sources, arrangements have been made
to devote "the greatest amount of
tonnage possible for the Transports

"A review of the report, filed with
the department of state by Colonel
House, the head of the special war
mission, which visited Great Britain
and France in November, shows that 1t
succeeded in its purpose of reaching
a definite working plan for the prose-
cution of the war through cooperation
of the government, represented at the
conferences held in Paris, in the va

marshalling the resources of the ma

and co-ordinating their uses under COM

Result Most Gratifying.
THE results of the conferences were
most gratifying to this government,
first, because they indicate that the
conferees were inspired by the desire
TO be mutually helpful, and second.
because the agreements, which were
reached, when in full operation will
greatly incrt4se the effectiveness of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.--The sen ate military committee Investigating the filling of war orders for the army received today a telegram from Frank j. Hagenbarth of Salt Lake City, president of the National Wool Growers associations. asserting that the wool shortage scare has been caused by interests desiring to use shoddy in the manufacture of goods for the government and that present and future raw wool supplies are antnle 10 afford sufficient wool army clothing.
 Use of re-worked wool or shoddy instead of cotton for mixture in woolen cloth for the army was viz orously defended before the commit tee today by Colonel John r. Wood, of the engineers reserve corps, former president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, and Winthrop l.. Marvin, of Boston, secretary of the association. Both declared the new garments as warm or warmer than those made under the old specifications and insisted that the substitution was necessary tn conserve the wool supply.
 The witness gave the committed its first information concerning the origin of the shoddy order. They said it was proposed by a committed of the manufacturers association and was adopted over the opposition of Quartermaster General Sharpe and Charles Eisenman, vice. chair

ThriftStomps On
 Sale In Bay~ 4
 Houses Generally

Planning to have war thrift stamps on sale in every business establishment in this city, steps were taken yesterday to accomplish this object and the preliminary can vass met with success in every in- stance. The committees in charge of this business canvass will be out everywhere today, visiting tho business people just as rapidly as possible. 1t is hoped to have at least 300 sales stations in this city and it is believed, that this number will be quickly reached just as soon as people, understand what it is all about.
 The sale of thrift stamps in total sum equal to tho first Liberty loan is a great task but there is no other way in which the small investor may have a chance both at prime, interest bearing investment, and to help tho nation in the great war. Stamps sell for 25 cents each and start bearing interest from the day bought. They may be converted into cash at the postoffice upon ten days notice and have many other advantages which make them an ideal investment as well as a patriotic opportunity.

 Colonel Wood opposed proposals that the army uniform be made heavier. He insisted that it would be great mistake to impose heavier clothing upon the soldiers while train ing in this country, and that it would be time enough to make change if actual experience abroad demonstrated its necessity.
 MT. Marvin told the committee that the government had lost be- tween s20.0O0,O00 and s30,0o0,00o by failing to accept raw wool offered last April by Boston and Philadelphia traders. MT. Eisenman, called to the stand, said responsibility for failure to accept the offer, rested with the quartermaster generals or flee and not with the supplies com mittee
 Mr. Marvin said it would take six months to get enough all-wood clothing for a million men if the order for the use of shoddy should now be revoked.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Profits of many coal operators in the middle west were increased materially by coal prices fixed by the government, the senate investigating committee was told today by Clifford Thorne, Wno said he had made an exhaustive study of the situation, and David l.. Wing. an examiner of the federal trade com mission.
 Much of the shortage of coal over the country was attributed by Thorne to excessive shipments to the north- west, 'the temptation of operators 10 hold back for higher prices" greatly increas ased consumption, interference with distribution through natural channels and an inadequate car supply.
 Relief, the witness said, can be brought about only through govern ment operation of the mines or pur- chase of the entire output of the country. If neither is resorted to, low CT prices could be made possible, he said, by the government buying the product of small mines in which pro- duction is costly. MT. Thorne said he did not believe il wise to try to increase production by opening new mines or working those that have been idle as high production costs in such mines would tend to in crease prices to consumers. He
 thought it would be better to close many small mines now operating al high cost.
 Thorne told the committee the pub | lie has not had proper representation | in the matter of price fixing and that | in general, and in the Illinois fields il | particular, prices allowed were much | too high. He said tliat all the con- | tracts made before the price fixing

ID MOBILIZE THREE
 MILLION WORKERS
 FUR NEEDS OF WAR
IReoubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

Co WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Mobiliza- ton of three million workers for agri- culture, shipbuilding and war contract plants were entrusted today to the United States employment service by the department of labor.
 John E. Densmore of Montana, so- licitor for the department of labor. will be national director of the employmeIr ser2-iee. He will have as his assistants Robert Watson of Massachusetts and Charles T. Clayton of Maryland. Samuel Gompers of New York, son of the labor leader. will succeed MT. Watson as the apartments chief clerk.
 Tremendous expansion of the service is in progress in preparation for re- cruiting men necessary to carry on the economic work in support of the mili tsry forces in the war. Solution of the labor shortage problem by this means is confidently predicted by the depart n1ent and the cooperation of labor or Eanizations in answer to suggestions that conscription of labor is necessary. One early result is expected to be the placing of 100000 mechanics in ship building plants to aid in hurrying to completion the merchant marine pro gram.
 Organization plans of the new ser vice were aseribed in an official state uent which said:
 The United States employment ser vice has been divorced from the bureau of immigration under whose control it has been since it's establishment, made 3 separate arm of the department and one of the largest and most important prosecuting organizations of the ha- tional government.
 Through the utilization of existing and projected federal. state and munic- ipal employment offices and the labor supplying facilities of the various state councils of defense, the federal employ ment service will cover the entire con- ,inent with a network of inter-relate( labor exchanges. These will recruit and transfer workers from one sectior tn another to eliminate the presen chaotic situation of surplus of work, CTS in one region and a shortage il another.
 TSupplementing this labor distribu ton work the expanded federal service will create a vast reservoir of labor tt meet the increasing demands of tn various war industries by means of it two auxiliary bodies, the United State Public Service and the United State Boys Working Reserve. The creation of this labor surplus already is unde way.
 The public service reserve is expect ed by the department of labor and tn heads of organized klbor 10 solve tn labor shortage problem and to prov conscription of labor to be unneces sary. The executive committees c many of the largest international un ions are cooperating with the reserve heads fin the enrolment of their mem bers and their voluntary acceptance c war jobs. ....
