LOSSES TO BE ELIMINATED Organization Will Be Part of War 'industries Board and Will Deal Directly With Manufactur ers Serving Country. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. Closer co ordination of the Government's war dimands with the country's industrial facilities will be sought by the Coun cil of National Defense in the creation of a bureau of manufacturing re sources, the personnel of which will te 'announced soon. Plans for the new bureau, made P'lblic today, disclose that the council's advisory commission is taking exten sive precautions to guard against an economic unsettlement in calling on American business men and the in dustries they have built up for war service. The new bureau will be a part of the war industries board. Manufac turers who have facilities which they df!-ire to place at the ' Government's disposal will deal with the bureau, which will undertake to distribute war contracts so there will be a minimum of unsettlflment in any one section, and the contracts filled in the most effi cient way. Establishment of the bureau is ex pected to eliminate much of hesitation and possible loss in business as war demands call for a curtailment of non essential industries. It was stated au thoritatively that the council would make no arbitrary classification of in dustries as necessary and unnecessary, but would let the question of curtail ment be decided by the available sup ply of raw materials, coal and trans portation facilities. To characterize any business as non essential, it was pointed out, might foster an unfair public sentiment against a legitimate trade and Jeop ardize its credit. When the demands of the Army and the demands of an Industry conflict, the industry must give way, but it is expected that com plete co-operation with the Govern ment will be given and that the new bureau will be able to apportion war . contracts in some measure to every factory deprived of its usual work. The question of housing workers in cities where living quarters are inade quate probably will be placed before Congress next month in requests for appropriations to carry out the recom mendations of the council's commis sion on housing, which reported that Government aid was the only solution of the question.

Witnesses Before Interstate Com merce Commissioner Contend That Sysetms Are Unable to Get Adequate Financial Help. WASHINGTON. Nov. 16. Frank A. Vanderlip. New York banker and chair man of the Government's war savings committee, and Paul M. Warburg, vice frovernnr of the Federal Reserve Board, called by the Interstate Commerce Commission today as expert witnesses in the 15 per cent advance rate case, testified that radical action was nec essary to remedy the railroad financial situation. Mr. Vanderlip was or the opinion that the proposed rate increase only touched the surface of the situation, while Mr. Warburg declared that should it be granted its effect from a psychological standpoint In restoring confidence among investors would be a greater advantage than the immediate mone tary gain it might mean to the roads. Mr. Vanderlip Sff Crisis. One of two things mhst be done to meet the situation either the Govern ment must acquire ownership or some action taken to restore confidence in their securities, said Mr. Vanderlip. Granting the increase the roads re quest, he insisted, would act only as a poultice and not effect a real cure. In their arguments for the increase, Mr. Vanderlip said railroad men them selves failed to see below the surface and view what he believed to be funda- j mentally wrong the effort to force the i two regulatory principles, prevention of combinations and fixing or rates, 10 work smoothly together. "Either one may be all right, but not both together," he declared. "Ai long as rates are regulated the railroads should have the right to form combina tions." Bond IxHiira Held Inopportune. Mr. Vanderlip added that the rail roads faced expenditures of $l,000,0i0, 000 annually to maintain their picp erty and that this must come from the investor and "whatever we may think, the investor must have confidence." Mr. Warburg maintained that rail road stocks had reached such a stage that the only method of obtaining money was through bond issues, which could not be made on a satisfactory basis now. It had been testified in the hearing that the railroads showed increased earnings recently and the property generally was in good condition and when this was called to Mr. Warburg's attention with the question as to why he believed there was lack of confi dence among investors, he Bald the "investors were looking to the future." "If the public does not feel the rail roads are receiving generous treat ment." he added, "the money will be withheld." mm m o l.Y Ml i " i Ili "Pi mm i M mm 1 mm Take the 20 Extra Stamps Today With the Coupon !S33::sss::ss8ssss5isass:3::s:::s3s BRING THIS COUPON :rrr ad get fAl20-Extra.20 L-iJ "S.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 16. "The greatest need of our country today in the prosecution of the war is the spirit of self sacrifice for the common good," said Secretary of Labor Wilson, chair man of the President's mediation com mission, at a luncheon tendered him here today by a business men's organ!- zation. Mr. Wilson made a strong plea for elimination of labor controversies, par ticularly in those industries necessary to the prosecution of the war. Along these lines, he said: A tremendous amount of material is necessary to properly equip our armies at the front. To secure this equip ment will require the most perfect or ganization of our forces at home and the highest standard of efficiency. It would require that our Industrial dis putes be abandoned at least until the war is over, not by the process of crushing the workers or the employer nto submission, but by the process of doing justice to both sides and the public at large. A great deal has already been clone by the Government in this direction. Adjustment committees have been in troduced in a large number of indus tries. Their decisions are final and binding on both parties. In a number of industries truces have been arranged for the period of the war. The media tion department of the Department of Labor is working out the settlement of many hundreds of disputes principally before they reach the strike stage and consequently before they have news value for the public press. 'Still more comprehensive plans are under consideration by the National Council of Defense, which if put into operation with the approval of the masters of industry and trade unions of the country, will eliminate all serious troubles until we have disposed of the common enemy. 'Our greatest difficulty has been the attitude of mind of employer and em ploye, but as soon as both realized that our institutions are at stake in the issue of this war and that sacrifice cn the part of every one for the common good Is the great essential duty, we have not had much difficulty in bring ing them together and adjusting their disputes.

"The feature of yesterday's fighting was a brilliant charge by the Midland Counties Yeomanry. The enemy has been clinging tenaciously to a position about Mughair, beyond W adi Rubin where he had hastily entrenched him self. Supported by field and machine guns, the mounted troops charged across the swelling upland straight upon the enemy. They were received with a heavy fire, but nothing could stop them. They cut right through the Turks, sabering right and left. "When the enemy found themselves surrounded. 1100 laid down their arms. The Turk is fighting bravely, but he is hopelessly outclassed.
