'] LABOR AFTER
WAR PERIOD
IS A PROBLEM
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. "If we put
outsulves down to 'winning the peace'
by drives as we have to winning the
~ war, the problem of labor and Industry
in the after-the-war period will be
easily and instantly settled," says L.
F. Dost, assistant secretary of labor.
Mr. Dost declares he does not an
ticipate any particular problems in
th(> readjustment period. "We changed
quickly from peace to war produc
tion," he said, "and it seems to me
that there should he no reason why
our factories and our workmen should
not he able to change hack from the
war basis to the peace basis as quick
ly, making due allowance for such
lack of raw materials as may exist,
due to seasonal conditions. Hut, given
the raw materials, plants which wete
manufacturing articles for peace trade
before the war should he uble to reas
semble their machinery and change
their processes hack to the basis of
peace production without so much con
fusion as many people anticipate."
There is bound to be certain shift
ing of labor from plants at present
solely designed for war work to the
plants that were the big producers in
peace times, Mr. Dost believes; hut he
regards the employment service of the
department of labor as a suitable
agency for handling the problems that
might arise from such shifting and be ,
lieves that it will be aide to provide
workers with jobs as well as to pro-!
vide workmen for employers.
There is an element in the wage !
question which may produce industrial
unrest and in that only does the coun
try face danger from the reconstruc
tion necessities, thinks Mr Dost, liven
this may he avoided by intelligent
agreement and conference between
labor and employers. However, Dost
declares, "if employers are to lie guid
ed by the type of men who have tig
tired all through history as the "priv
ileged class,' who think it their relig
ious duty to refuse to deal with or
' ganized men, we will have trouble.
! If as much disposition will be shown
by employers to adjust industry and
its problems as the men they hire, the
'•;>? possibility of trouble will be reduced
y.; to a minimum.
5$ "The worker who in peace times
£•• was able to earn $30 a week, has,
under war wages and war overtime,
frequently been enabled to go home
on pay night wtth $100 In his pocket
representing his weeek's wages. The
man who has experienced this is not
going to be willing to stand a material
reduction in it. It is true, of course,
>J that he will be willing to forget the
overtime work he has been putting in,
but even should there be a reduction
in the cost of living, which seems un
likely, the worker is not going to ac
cept a reduction of his wages to his
pre-war basis. That, however, is a
matter of the individual, rather than
: the union.
I "Collective bargaining will solve a
great deal of that. 1 feel that there
I should be continued existence of the
agency represented through the na
tional war labor board. The decisions
of that board, providing for a review
of the wage awards every six months
on the basis of changes in the cost
of living, and more particularly the
awarding of the right of collective
bargaining, if entered into thoroughly
and in harmonious spirit by workers
IT and employers alike, will do much to
_ solve the problem through the opera
tion of the shop committees.
”1 do not anticipate any lack of]
i jobs. People forget that we have been i
practicing abstention from what wo
want and need and that there is much
| production to be caught up with and
| much essential work to be done that
i has been neglected or postponed dur
ing the war period.”

MILLIONS FOR
IMPROVEMENT
IN LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.—Public
improvements consisting of 125 sep
arate projects, and involving expendi
tures totaling $11,000,000, will be be
gun in tile near future in Los An
geles. when peatce completes the lift
ing of the ban placed on these im
provements by the capital issues com
mittee of the Federal Reserve bank.
Some of these proposed improve
ments have been hanging fire for two
years, but the majority were out
lined during the past six months and
have been held in abeyance in ac
cordance with the request of the cap
ital issues committee that bond Is
sues be not floated during the period
of the war
The request of the committee was
based on two reasons—the first, to
conserve labor; the second, to con
serve materials. Rut with actual
peace not far off and a general sta
bilizing of the labor and material mar
ket imminent, city officials here are
iil.'ioninc to lieain work on tin* vnrimiw
projects soon.
Street work will comprise the great
est single expenditure of the $11,000,
000 total, projects proposed in street
grading, widening and paving amount
ing to $3,346,900. Necessary improve
ments at the San 1’edro harbor will
cost in the neighborhood of $3,250,000.,
according to the estimates of city en
gineers, The bureau of power and
light plans expenditures of more than
$1,000,000 in improving and enlarging
municipal power stations and advanc
ing service. Sewer work, it Is esti
mated, will amount to more than
$500,000, and the flood control plan,
which will divert flood waters to the
ocean and remove the menace to ranch
lands, calls for the expenditure of al
most $3,000,000.
Improvements at the harbor, ac
cording to C. H Matson, traffic man
tiger. include th<- construction of a
drydock at the plant of the 1ms An
geles Shipbuilding and Drydock Com
pany, to cost $1,250,000; widening of
the main channel, $875,000; dredging
of the west and east basins, $030,000.
In the development and improve
ment of the city's power and lighting
system, $1,235,000 will be required, ac
cording to Howard Robertson of the
public service commission. This will
be spent in the construction of a new
power plant, JkfliJ^wn as "No. 2." in San
Francisqulto canyon, and in the con
struction of reservoirs and the laying
of an Intricate system of flumes and
pipe linos at several points along the
Los Angeles aqueduct, where water is
diverted for the purpose of generating
electrical energy.
Other city projocts contemplated
but not yet in the final state of prep
aration by the engineers are the Sec
ond street tunnel, to facilitate access
to a large section; a union station,
and plans to eliminate dangerous
grade crossings.
SITKA, Alaska, Dec. 11. - Alaska's
aged and disabled pioneers men who
helped to blaze the first trails across ;
the golden northland, always seeking :
but seldom finding their elusive Kldor
udo--are cared for at the Alaska Pio- ,
peers' home at Sitka, the first capital
of the Territory. At present there are
sixty-five old ’sourdoughs" at the
home.
Governor Thos. Riggs, Jr., of Alaska,
recently spent several days inspect
ing the home. He was at the home
during most of his visit here, he took
several meals with the men and talked
with both the pioneers and employes.
These old pioneers who have spent
their lives coming and going as they
wished, want few rules, so. us a re
sult, very few restrictions are placed
on their movements.
Buildings used by the home once
were barracks occupied by tho United
States marines beforo 1911 when a
marine station was located here. In
1913 the buildings were turned over
tjy the navy department to the depart
ment of the interior, which has charge
>f the government of the Territory.
