PENDANTS, Plead Guilty in

ceny OF Ave automobiles. while Bud
dy Wilson, who was arraigned for

implication in the stealing of any

up with the trial of Buddy Wilson,

Howell" Wilson denies Harris story
and says he can prove an alibi. The
trial of the case consumed the entire
afternoon.
Hart stated that he and Wilson
were walking down Market street TO-
gether the day before the armistice
was signed, and Wilson suggested
they steal HowelPs car. which was
standing in front of the Lyric theater.

across the bridge. Wilson, 1t seems,
for some reason got out of the car

got the car and drove 1t to Cleveland

with the attitude of mind
that | have expressed as exist
ing on the part of some manu-
facturers relative to waiting
for a lowering in the prices of
raw material and of labor, it
may be that the restoration
may not take place as rapidly
as the rehabilitation takes
place. We are not sure of that.
There ought to be provision
made for a reservoir that would
absorb the demobilized workers
and the demobilized soldiers,
not in doing the things which
there is no need to have done,
but in doing the things that
ought to be done-that are val
liable for peace-time purposes
"a reservoir that will take care
of them for the brief period be-
tween their dismissal from the
Army or war industries until
they can be reabsorbed into the
natural postwar industrial ac-
tivities.
"The Department of Agricul-I
ture is taking steps to accom-
plish part of that purpose in
the matter of road improve
ment, highway improvements,
on the theory Congress has act
ed on in the past, that for mil
itary purposes and for postal
routes, roads are necessary all
over the country. When men
are employed in road building,
they do not have to be taken
from their own home communi-
ties to engage in the work. The
Department of Agriculture,
therefore, has asked, or is a.
bout to ask, for an increased ap-
preparation which will enable
it, in cooperation with the re-
spective states, to engage in a
nationwide project of road
building that will absorb, if
need be, some of those workers

AS 4 NECESSARY WAR
MEASURE.
ROAD BUILDING is ADVISED
Necessity of Creating Employ.
alCHt For Returning Sol
dierS Emphasized.

Public Works of all kinds
that will give employment to
men deuobolized from the Ar
ny AID trom the war indus
tries should be put unIer way
at once as a reconstruction
measure, according to Secre-
tarp of Labor William b. Will
son, who, in a statement out
lining his views on this subject,
points out that not only will
the transition from wartime
conditions to a peace basis be
facilitated thereby, but that a
work of great permanent value
to the nation will be accom-
plished.
States, cities, towns, in fact
all Government divisions, ought
now, he believes, to make up for
the reduced construction during
the war. The Governments
obligation to provide employ
ment for the returning soldiers
and the necessity for many
forms of improvement in mu-
nicipal and state equipment
render such a program essen
tial at this time, he holds.
The Secretary's statement,
somewhat condensed, follows:
81 am of the opinion that
from the time we restore our
selves to our normal postwar
activities, the demand for peace
time production will be so
great that there will not be the
remotest possibility of securing
any reduction in the wage rates
from their present basis. feel
further, that the manufacturer
who fails to take into consider
alton the prospects of the fu-
ture and who, in the hope of
securing a cheaper labor or
cheaper raw material, does not
build up his organization and
maintain it during the possibly
brief period of readjustment.
will be handicapped in securing
his share of the business af-
forwards; because he will be
