special DespatcA to TIE sur.

wAsHINoroN, Sept. 8.-The War Saw
ings and Liberty Loan organizations OF
the Treasury Department are to be con-
solidated to operate as one organization
to handle all Government credits.
As result OF this consolidation
Frank A. Vanderlip. who has headed the
War Savings and Thrift campaigns and
the organizations for the sale OF these
Government securities, Is TO retire from
public service and return TO the National
City Bank. Consolidation was made at
his suggestion to secure complete CO.
ordination of Government credit efforts
and economy through the operation of a
single great agency for the exploitation
Of these securities.
District Governors to Control.
The new administrative organization
and the reasons for it's creation were
outlined in a memorandum submitted by
Mr.. vanderlip as follows;
ct is suggested that the war savings
organizations be reorganized to conform
TO Federal reserve district lines, the
gOVerliOT VI inc FSueTdl ftebcTNe bdnh
in each district to have general super
vision over all War Savings activities,
occupying the same relation to the War
Savings organization that he now does
to the Liberty Loan organization.
TT is believed that by placing the
War Savings organization under the
supervision OF the Federal Reserve
bank the activities of the War Saw
ings and Liberty Loan committees can
be coordinated and eventually con-
ton. thus eliminating existing dupllca-
ton OF effort and perhaps decreasing
tho expense incident to operation.
The appointment by the governor
of each Federal Reserve bank OF a
director Of war savings for the district
In suggested, this director to have
supervision under the governor OF all
war savings activities of the district.
He will pass upon matters OF policy.
publicity, expenditures and routine
management"
'These suggestions, Mr.. McAdoo wrote,
had his hearty approval. Acknowledge
ment of Mr.. Vanderlip's services in or
ganZing n war savings campaign was
made az follows:
"Realizing as I think we both do that
the work OF the National War Savings
Committee IL now nearly completed. and
upon the contamination of the plan
above outlined will be quite completed I
cannot omit to say to you how pro-
foundly I appreciate the service which
you have rendered TO your country and
to the Treasury Department in creating
and directing the War Savings organiza-
ton.

pine American labor into strenuous es-
pousal OF the cause OF world freedom,
was borrowed to-day as a strike slogan
by 600 free lance delegates OF the an
thracite coal miners.
In bitter defiance of the refusal of Or.
Harry Garfield to submit to a demand
for an immediate increase in the wage
schedules the delegates unanimously
adopted a resolution favoring a general
strike In the hard coal fields and sub
mission to the war order Of induction
into the army through the new draft.
patriotic tone was given to the reso-
luton as II was presented to the miners
and no cognizance was made Of the fact
that DIR. Baldwin. statistical chief, and
eight other members Of the United States
Department of Labor have already ar
rived in the Wyoming Valley for an
Intimate survey Of coal profits and living
conditions.
This Is the resolution: Resolved,
that we. the miners OF the anthracite

Regarding the new plan, Mr.. Wander

at puts the movement on a permanent
basis closely related to the Treasury

work. l feel confident that the work will
so forward with steady improvement"
Mr.. Nanderlip pays a tribute to the
War Savings organization and concludes
1.-The association with my coworkers
has been an inspiring privilege. We
have all tried to carry out the plan
which you conceived when you asked
Congress to authorize this issue Of Sc
curitles and we have had a deep belief
that of the many constructive measures
which YOU have advanced this movement
will remain one OF the most permanent
monuments to the wisdom of your re-
markable administration of the Treas
