LDeser-Tlngr 3Iarrled Men Will Not
Be Displaced While Other
Positions Offer.
With the demobilizing of soldiers,
the first mission of the Federal em
ployment agency in each state will be
to .provide desirable employment for
those veterans who enlisted from that
state. In placing these men in jobs.
soldiers will be given first consldera
tton. but every care will be taken to
cause the least possible disturbance in
Industrial circles by displacing deserv
ing married men from their present
employment, so long as other positions
are available for the returned warriors.
When soldiers have been provided
with employment In the states from
which they originally enlisted, the
Government will then direct its efforts
towards placing in suitable jobs men
in the states from which they enlisted.
This policy with respect to returning
soldiers was announced yesterday by
Federal Director Smith, of the United
States Government Employment Serv
ice. Preparatory to carrying out that
policy, a representative of the Portland
Federal employment office has been
Rationed at Vancouver Barracks,
where he will remain until every re
turned soldier has been mustered out
at that cantonment. Only 3 per cent
of the men now etatloned at Vancouver
enlisted from this state.
After this small percentage of the
forces at Vancouver has been cared for
with jobs in Oregon, others who may
decide to locate In this state -will be
cared for and others, desiring to return
to the state from which they enlisted,
will be put in touch with the Federal
employment agencies in those states.

WOOL MEN TAVOR
CONTROLLED MARKET
Federal Management Would
' Stabilize Prices.
ANNOUNCEMENT IS AWAITED
Dealers Advocate Series of Auctions
as Means of ReUevng Govern
ment of Slocks on Hand.
While it is uncertain yet whether the
Government will take over the Hew clip of
wool, there is no doubt In the minds of
dealers that the distribution of the 10U
clip will continue. Many wool men In the
trade 'look for a series of auctions as the
means whereby the Government will relax
Its hold upon the market, yet there are
those who regard the step 111-advlsed be
cause of the great chance for a sharp de
cline in. values.
In some charters a continuation ef Gov
ernment control is considered the best plan,
with prlcea. on a slightly lower basis than
during the year. Growers as a class are
said to favor a continuation ef the control
as a means of assuring themselves of the
best level of prices, while dealers as a class
favor the auction scheme. The auction
scheme would give dealers themselves an.
opportunity to buy wools on their own ac
count, which they have lacked for the last
eight months.
- The sixth quarterly census of -wool stocks
In the United States shows a. total of
398.630.260 Bounds of raw wool tops and
noils. This is the total of the supplies re
ported by manufacturers and dealers ss of

445,017,000; on September 30, 1917, 622,000,
000.
The census was prepared and Issued by
the Buresu of Markets, based on the re
ports of 808 dealers and S97 manufacturers.
Of tho 821,558,793 pounds of grease wool

NEW TORK, Dec 2. Postmaster
General Burleson hss dismissed from
Government service Edward Reynolds,
vice-president and general manager of
the Postal Telegraph & Cable Company,
and A. B. Richards, general superin
tendent of the company's Pacific Coast
division, for alleged insubordination
against the Government's plans to
amalgamate the Postal with the West
ern Union Telegraph Company.
A letter which Mr. Richards wrote to
Mr. Reynolds in New York contained.
Mr. Reynolds said here today, the fol
lowing:
"Let's retard and delay as much as
possible any consolidation, now that
war is over. In fact, the emergency
having passed (if it ever existed)
which brought about Government con
trol, there can now be no good reason
for consolidation.
Alluding to this letter, Mr. Reynolds
said:-
"I approve that statement. I am op
posed to the obliteration of the Postal
Telegraph & Cable Company by merg
ing it with the Western Union Tele
graph Company.
"I have been connected with the
Postal company for 30 years and have
held almost every position from that of
telegraph operator to that of general
manager and v-lce-v resident, and I am
not willing to take part in destroying
the splendid competitive telegraph serv
ice wnicn inai company nas veen giv
ing and will continue to give when its
lines are turned back.
"I emphatically deny that Congress
fn its joint resolution authorized the
Postmaster-General to consolidate the
Postal Telegraph Company with the
Western Union, and yet such proposed
consolidation is all that Mr. Richards
or I objected to."

CHICAGO. Dec. 2. Official estimate that
300.000.000 people in trans-Atlantic coun
tries were depending la reel y on food con
servation in the United States to avert hun
ger had a bullisa effect here today on grain

Firmness in the nor market, together with
the strenjrtn or corn, uitea provisions. Pack
ing interests appeared to lead the buying.
Leading future ranged as follows i
Secondary as Well as Standard
Stocks Advance Promptly; Steel
Issues Also Are Firm.
NEW TORK, Dec. 2. President "Wilson's
address before Congress was the one out
standing feature of today's stock , market,
trading evincing no pronounced trend prior
to the publication of the message on the
news tickers. Interest captered mainly in
the President's earnest plea for modification
of ante-war conditions respecting the rail
roads and that group made immediate re
sponse, secondary as well as standard shares
advancing 1 to 2 points after an early
period of hesitation.
Wall street chose to Interpret this and
other features of the President's message
as a strong indication that the Administra
tion Is in no degree committea to govern
ment ownership of transportations and utilities.
Apart from the rails, the market regis
tered few changes of interest. United States
Steel and kindred issues were steady to firm.
Coppers, leathers and specialties ended at
mixed gains and losses. Shippings were ac
tive and strong at the beginning, but lost
ground later to the accompaniment of re
ports that the proposed sale of Mercantile
Marine tonnage to this Government might
encounter serious opposition irom Jntisn in
te rests.
Sales amounted to 4 1 5.000 shares.
The only feature to bonds was the activity
of a few Industrial issues, the general list
easing, iioerty fourth 4s continued to sag,
breaking to 96.60. Total sales, par value.
aggregated ii,50,ooo.
