GOVERNMENT AIDS
 WOMEN WORKERS

London, Jan. 2- Correspondence of The Associated Press)-To de mobilize" about 1,O00,O 900 women war woI kers is the colossal task assigned t) a special department of the Min istry of Labor Women predominate ;n this new organization.
 One of the most difficult of their problems will be how to satisfy a mEnitions worker who has been earning from SIS to s2O a week now that she called upon to return to her former task as a family servant at from s3 to $3.25 a week. Govern nent officials realize that this is one or the hard problems connected with the reconstruction period especially as these girls and women must sac rihce some of the freedom they have enjoyed as munitions workers and now submit to more exa cting hours of work. They are. appealing to the workers to adjust themselves to the new order of things as best they can, and to be willing to make sacrifices during the reconstruction as they did during the war.
 Unemployment is one of inc bie problems. Employers are being ad- lro1tished to give their workers long notice of dismissal and not to dis charge large numbers at one time To aid the girls, the government has de- clde0 10 give each war worker S475 week for 3 weeks after she stops war work if, during that time. she dces not find other employment This Is the only tangible bridge the eov- ernment has been able to provide to carry the workers over the transition period. Other means of helping the situation are to be left to the new organization in the Labor Ministry TO solve the problem of demobilizinq these women workers, the countrv has been divided into labor districts each with a district council which will be in close touch with the Tabor Ministry
 A member of the government re- gently told The Associated Press that the most serious di.AcuIties could b. expected during the first six months or peace. During that time, he said there was bound to be much unem- ployment and satisfaction over wages and the high cost of living. He hoped a reduction of the prices of necessities would help to relieve the situation.

Decline Inevitable.
Illustrations might be multiplied
from either our Civil war experience
or the Napoleonic period. People
have become convinced that high
prices are permanent merely because
they have held and rallied since the
war ended. The rally, however. is
based upon urgent buying to satisfy
immediate needs, and is nothing more
than has occurred after previous
great wars: and any permanent foun-
dation under this high price level is
as lacking now as it was then. The
previous experiences have shown the
same money imitation, and similar
big rise in wages, and yet prices did
come down.
Admittedly the general average

are the thoughtful men who do NOT
expect prices to go halfway back

Instant response to these economic
factors cannot be expected. The bus

the main points are that the vast
amount OF idle producing capacity is

increase in the total supply of goods :.
and that the tightness of the money
market equally demonstrates that the
time is not far off when producers
and merchants will be shading prices
because of inability to finance them

In brief. the notion that the exist
