 With this end in view it would be of great assistance if public work of all kind that can be done should be under taken with the least possible delay"
 Mr. Baruch's telegram is in reply to one from the editor of the Manufactur- CTS Record in which it was suggested that change from war work to peace can be greatly aided by shifting labor to municipal and highway Improvements and kindred activities and asking for Mir Baruch's views as to whether the government would urge such action not withstanding the present high prices on labor and materials MT.

Bessemer. November 21.-(Special)-A meeting has been called of the retail merchants of the city Friday morning at a.aO o'clock in the courtroom in the Realty building for the purpose Of ef- fecting an organization. This movement has been considered for sometime, but on account of leaders of the movement having been active in the various cam pagns for war relief, it has been post poned until the present time. The meet ing was called primarily for the inves- tigat tion of the proposed raise in licenses for next year, and while the merchants are assembled 1t is purposed to form a permanent organization for the consid- eration of similar questions that are continually coming up to concern the retailfrs.
 While we are prepared for raise in licenses, realizing that Bessemer has a lower license schedule than other cities, we just want to be there," is the way a prominent merchant of the city ex- pressed their position. It is expected tlat the meeting will be largely attended and that the organization formed will be of value to the civic and commercial life of Bessemer.
 Bessemer is planning for Thanksgiv- ing celebration and patriotic jubilee Thursday, November 28. Plans have nor been made definitely but the civic or ganizations have called meetings for the discussion of the form of celebration, the ministers of the city are entering into the idea, and the women's clubs will assist in arranging a programme. The service will be held in the First Methodist church as it has the largest seating capacity, but it will be union service in which the whole of Bessemer will take part. The spirit of the oc- casion will be one of Thanksgiving for the coming of peace, which will send back the young men who have left Bes- semer to fight for freedom. Prayers will be offered for the men away from their homes and for those who have fallen in battle. Special music will be prepared
