INDUSTRIAL AIDES TO DE FACTOR IN RECONSTRUCTION

Civilian War Workers Gratified by President's Praise of Achievements.

(By Associated Pres) WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. Thousands of war workers from all sections of the country who for the past eighteen months have been in Washington, "helping win the war" some of them serving the government 'for a dollar a year, found gratification' In the reference by the president in his address yesterday to congress to the part played by the civilian war agencies toward mobilizing the nation for war. "Never before." the president said, "have there been agencies In existence in this country which knew so much of the field of supply, of labor and of industry as the war industries board, the war trade board, the labor department, the food administration, and the fuel administration have Known since their labors became thoroughly systematized; and they have not been isolated agencies; they have been directed by men who represented the permannt department of the government and so have been the renters of unified and co-operative action." This was taken by the heads of those agencies, not alone as recognition of their work but also as a deserved tribute to the untiring efforts and sacrifices of the working force. 1 Many of the president's advisers, including Chairman Baruch of the war Industries board, who have had to do with harnessing the industries of the country to the war machine, are understood to believe the industries will be back on a normal basis through efforts of the industrial leaders long before congress could agree on a definite reconstruction plan. The president's attitude as expressed yesterday was cbnsldered by the heads of the war agencies as an acceptance of their view, and an Implied disapprovr.l of congressional action.
