AMPLE SUPPLY OF LABOR , FOR ARMY AND INDUSTRY
Secretary Wilson Says the Problem is One of Adjustment. &

Washington, Jan. 9.-"There is an ample supply of labor both for the ar my and for industry; the problem is one of proper adjustment" Secretary Wilson said today in discussing plans of the department of labor for mobil- izing workers. He estimated that in the first year of the war the army would take only about three per cent. of the country's workers, less than the number unemployed under normal con- ditions.
 The secretary will announce tonor- row, probably, an advisory committee to assist him in handling mobilization problems, including one representative of the general public, two of labor, two of commerce and industry and one economist or sociologist.
 Most of the anxiety in this coun- try, regarding the labor question, has been reflex of Great Britain's ex- periences in the war;" MT. Wilson said. "Of 20,000,000 persons engaged in gain ful occupations in England, 5000 900 were taken for the army, leaving the labor supply 25 per cent. short. This necessitated withdrawal from the ar my of skilled workmen in order to
 maintain the industNal life at home.
 Americas situation is very differ ent. Of course the draft will inter fere with industry to some extent, but we have 35,0o0,000 workers. of whom approximately 1,500 900 will be taken in the first year of war, less than the normal number of unemployed Our problem. then, is one of readjustment to supply the demand for workers in those trades which are expanding rap idly, such as shipbuilding and muni- tions factories.'

INTERCHANGE OF FIRE
 |. .. APPARATUS IN STATE
Inquiries Sent to Every Department by Industrial Survey Committee.

Inquiries have been sent to every fire department in Connecticut by the In-
 Gustrial Survey Committee of the Con-
 Iecticut State Council of Defense for
 the purpose of gathering information in regard to their present possibility of
 connecting their fire apparatus to the
 hydrants of neighboring towns, and
 nearly all departments have replied.
 The Defense Council has taken. up this
 matter of the interchange of fire ap-
 paratus with which to protect import
 ant property in case of emergency. The importance of hundreds of Connecticut establishments to the war programme of the nation has made this 8 vital work for the council to take up.
 Fire Chief John c. Moran of Hart ford. who was appointed a committee of one ky the State Fire Chiefs asso- eiation for the purpose of co-operating with the council of defense in this matter, and Horace B. Clark, president of the Hartford Fire Board. have met with the councils committee. As re- suit of this conference, the committee | has decided to attempt to standardiZe | he hose and hydrant couplings of ev- cry fire department in the state by means of having national standard thread coupling which will make it possible for any hose in the state to connect with every hydrant in the state. 1 The committees next step will be to ask local officials to confer upon the
 fire chiefs authority to act upon its
 recommendations together with the
 authority to spend not to exceed $200 | for the purpose.
 The committee is taking up the work of finding a source of such couplings
 and will get quotations for a standard n~ice for the fire departments of the
 state | Once the-fire departments are equip
 ped with these couplings through the committee of the defense council, it
 will be possible for fire apparatus of Eany town tr besustd il any other town fin the State-

URGE LIQUOR DEALERS ,:' TO SHORTEN HOURS
Movement Is in Line With conssrva-
 tion of Eusl.

The committee on fuel conservation of the Connecticut State Council of Defense has launcheaa a movement to persuade the rest of the state to fol- tow the example set by Hartford last Monday in shortening by five hours the hours of business of all places where liquor is sold. 1.-The committee Is sending out letters to all the local fuel administrators in Connecticut, telling of the voluntary action taken by the Hartford liquor dealers and urging them to persuade liquor deal CTS in their towns and cities to take similar action. The Hartford dealers now open their doors at 8 a. rn and closes at 10 ?. m. #
 Reference is made a1soto plan to have all the amusement houses in the state close their doors at 10 o'clock every evening with the double object of bringing about a saving in the coal the houses use and of forcing people generally to go home, put out their lights, bank their fires and go to bed early as part of their contribution to the fuel conservation campaign. The letter. follows: sa
 | "The enclosed; newspaper clipping will tell you of one of the results ob- tained in Hartford in response to our appeal of last week and this makes il much more incumbent upon the state fuel administration, through you its local representative to see that similar action is taken throughout the state While this action was wholly voluntary on the part of the local liquor dealers ' it may, be; necessary for you to make it clear to those in your town or city that in these times of self-sacrifics the whole weight of public sentiment the power of administration lies bach of this wise and necessary conserva. E tiot mea sure. We believe that youl local dealers can be made to see this and that voluntary action on theil part is surely better than compulsor, action. ,.
 We put this matter up to you tl accomplish results and await to heal from you of your success.
 T hope next week to have voluntary action from the amusement houses to. ward statewide closing at 10 p. m With this accomplished it means tha the people will go home earlier, ths trolley power stations can bank theil fires an hour earlier, and the furnace fires in the homes will be banked al hour earlier, making the total savin, of coal a very formidable item" '.
 'Very truly yours,
 Committee on Fuel Conservation. |. "CHARLES G. BILL; Chairman"
