Good for the Mayor

yeseyea when the shouting sidewalk patriot and the fear
less profeer paed the boys in khaki the back and with
voices a-tremble with emotion exclaimed
"Come back when it's over there and will find
ready TO take you back

who dropped their jobs to go "over there
Did the soldiers back?
Yes, lot of them. >
Did they get their jobs back?

themselves hoarse when the soldiers marched away-was

And we're glad have a mayor Who seeing his duty,
without delay.
We glad that most Of the board of public works is
willing to work with him in giving employment ex-servce

REIMBURSEMENT DIFFICULTIES.

1t is to be sincerely regretted that
there is such a labor unrest through
out the country at the present time,
when the nation is trying to bring
about readjustment of conditions
which were made necessary by the
war. There lave been emergency re-
auirements which have made i nee
essary to depart rom normal methods
but even though it is expected that
there will be long period of prosper
ity as soon as industry can see where
il stands, finds out what the demands
are and can feel that there is a sta
bilized market, the labor unrest
is adding complications which increase
the difficulties OF the situat Ion.
What is needed is the proper spirit
the conditions Curing the period OF
REIMBURSEMENT but those which are to
come later, for iuasmuch as prices
were pushed upward by The war it is
to be expected that they will come
down under the law of supply and de-
mand. WSat Is boihering is the in
sistence that better than war time
conditions should prevail when there
is less than war +3nc demand to
| warrant them.
It can be appreciated what the ef-
fects of a long drawn out or a wide
| spread strike is likely to have upon
| special lines OF Industry ard business
in general The pfoSreats Of sUct
bring TO a focus the increased difficult

would appear 70 be the part Of Wis
! dom that there should be a spirit O,
| get together for the purpose of getting
a better understanding OF the situa.
ton from ali angles. Reason Should

to be no reason why thu readjustmer
should not be FASTENED by settling al

brought up the problems witch exist
in China. in which Japan has for
some time been manifestins a special
interest.
If China had shown that 1t was able
to take care of itself the problem
might be greatly simpIifed, but it has
not and it is well known that it has
keen forced 10 seek outside assist
ance and as such japan has taken the
responsibility of lending a hand for
the sake Of protecting the far east.
China Is apparently coming to realize
it's unfortunate position and feels
thats Japanese activity within its hor-
6erSrs toe great fer its good. and it
is particularly concerned over what
the decision is going TO be relative to
concessions in that part of the world
at Versailles.
China wants Kiaucheu restored but
it does not favor the plan proposed
by Japan while that country considers
it is entitled TO proper compensation
for the part it PLAYED in the war both
as an active participant and by not
giving assistance and encouragement
tc the enemy, and it can be appre-
ciated that the adjustment of the sit
uation there is going to be one of the
big tasks of the conference for il
should be adjusted and adjusted right
at this time.

TAKING CARE OF RETURNING

There. are evidences that the SOL
diers and sailors who are returning to
their homes are having difficulty in
securing employment. If that really
exists at the present time there seems
TO be reason to expect that it will in
crease in the immediate future in view
of the steady flow of returning trooTs
and the possibility that they will be
brought home at the rate of 10000 a
month.
Fhere are unquestionably great
many who will step right into their
old jobs. They will anticipate that.
There will be others who will get bet
ter employment than when they vol
unteered or were called into the SER
vice, either from theic former en-
rlover or from another, while there
vii! be still others who will not care
10 go back to their old work, perhaps
because they never really cared for
il, because they have prepared them
selves for and feel that they should
have something different or better, or
for a number Of plausible reasons.
There can be no question but what
these men should be taken care Of
They have not only made the great
sacrifice for their country and in
many instances risked their lives fo-
those at home but they have had to
be satisfied with army and navy pay
while many of those who did not fight
have been getting the best kind OF
wages without mourning any addi-
t;cnal risk.
Through the employment service
which the government is maintaining
an excellent agency is provided foI
placing the returning men at work for
which they are qualified while it has
been declared that the men can re-
main in the service until they are as
sured of employment, but it canno
help being felt that former en-
rloyers should not only be interested
in but anxious to see that the meI
who are leaving the service are pro
vided for. There are reasons for feel
ing that they are fully entitled to pre-
| ferred treatment
