ALL CALLED ON TO WORK
Necessity for Some Useful Occupation
Must Be Apparent to Every One
at This Time.

Labor has gained throughout the
last year in the feeling and thought
Of the world. The strain and perlls of
the times have brought an unusually
sober and reflective state Of mind. Men
and women have been more than COM
monty concerned with the gravest
problems Of existence. They have
given more than the ordinary cOnsid-
Grafton to the needs and dangers of
life.
All this has contributed to the dig
nifty and honor of hard work. Never
was there more general recognition
of the necessity Of meeting real trials
manfully and playing a mans part In
the serious business Of living. Never
In recent times was 1t more difficult
to shirk without discredit or spend
the crowded years in idleness without
forfeiting respect and reputation. The
world has so much to do, so many
great tasks crowded upon its mental
and physical resources that work is
more than ever before the plninest and
most vital duty Of all who have
strength for service.

SUPERVISION Of
STEEL INDUSTRY
IS RECOMMENDED

Washington, Nov. 14-Continua-
ton OF government supervision OF the
steel industry during the period OF res
to peace conditions was
recommended today by the steel com-
mittee Of the American Iron and
Steel institute at its first meeting with
the war industries board since the
signing Of the armistice.
Optimism over the industrial and
labor outlook, as affecting the steel
industry, during the transition from
war to peace marked the conference.
The belief was expressed that there
should be no abrupt alteration OF
price or wage levels.
The chief purpose OF the meeting,
It was announced, was to preserve
industrial stability" and the discuss
national and international.
After the conference, officials in ex-
planning the steel committees recon-
mendation for continued supervision
by the war industries board, said that
If price control were abandoned and
the price Of steel decreased those
who stocked up with raw and semi
finished materials at the fixed price
could not compete with those who
could 60 into the market with lower
prices prevailing. 4
On the other hand, If the price
should increase, manufacturers with
stock N. hand would have the advan-
tage. Government supervision and
price control, it was explained, will
prevent any such conditions and stab
ilize the industry until it Is on q
peace basis.
