Placing Important Work in Hands
of Any Congressional Committee.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. President Wilson has
under consideration appointment of 8
Reconstruction Commission to devel
op comprehensive program for the
nations conversion from q war to q
peace basis. The commission woulC
be advisory, rather lnan executive in
functions, and the plans developed
and co-ordinated by it would be car,
ried out by existing Government de-
partments and agencies. As now con.
sdered the commission would be rep,
resentative of commercial, industrial
labor, agricultural and social inter.
ests; its membership would be small
and it would deal with all phases OF
the great problem of easing the coIn.
try from war to peace. The President
is understood to be distinctly opposed
10 the suggested plan of having a con
gressional committee prepare a recon
struction program. He is said to pre-
fer men who can give their entire
time to the work, and who have made
special studies of economic and socia
problems.
The President is said to be consider
ing what emergency Legislation may
be necessary before the Government
can proceed Systematically to turn al
resources of the country to peace-t time
production. How to shut off further
war production without closing plants
throwing men out of work and caus

reconstruction problem facing the
Government Hundreds of kilograms
of inquiry reaching Government de

such suggestions the reconstruction
commission would function. Establish

2 Die IN SNOWSTORM.
Young Woman and Man Lose
Lives at Chicago.
Number of Other Persons Injured
When First Blizzard of the Year
Sweeps chicago--Train Wrecked.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-Driven by q 30
mile gale from Lake Michigan, Chi
cago battled with the worst snowstorm
since the blizzard of a year ago. II
was the first real storm of the winter
and broke over the city during the
night, increasing In fury during the
early morning hours.
Traffic on the railroads was virtual.
ly demoralized by 8 a. m. and trains
waited for several hours before the
tracks could be cleared. On the ele-
waited lines, as well as street cars,
traffic was exceedingly slow. The sub
urban trains on the Rock Island, I'LL
nois Central and Northwestern made
slow progress and In some cases were
more than an hour late.
A Santa Fe passenger train, consist
ing of four coaches, crashed into a
string of loaded freight cars at Wal
lace street and Archer avenue, de-
molishing four of the box cars. The
heavy snow caused the wreck, binding
the engineer. Several passengers were
hurt
While on her way to work, an uni
Identified young woman about twenty
two years old, was knocked off a south
bound State street car at Thirty-first
street and hurled beneath moving
auto truck and crushed to death.
j. A. Paul, seventy years old slipped
ln'the snow and fell on a stairway, and
broke his neck.
The storm originated in western
Texas, according to the weather bu-
reau, and has spread all over the CEN
tral states, freezing temperature reach
Ing almost to the gulf. Chicago is the
center of the storm.
The snow with the exception of
half-inch during November Is the first
OF the winter. The storm recalls the
blizzard last winter when the city and
country were tied up under snowdrifts
for many days.

Wheat Restrictions Off.

Washington.-The food Administra
iion announced that the war restric
tons on wheat and tin had been en-
tirely removed, and that the sugar ra.
ton had been increased from three ia
four pounds a person month in the
beet sugar producing states and in
the cane sugar producing territory OF
Louisiana, effective December /. This
action was taken because of the avail.
ability of sufficient sugar in that ter.
ritory, and because the lack of cargo
space for overseas shipment, together
with the insufficient storage facilities
in this country.
