ADJUSTMENT IN MIDDLE WEST TO BE .'HADE EASILY

Almost Every Employer Will Take Back Returning Sol- . diers

Intensive Course to be Given Candidates at Camp Pershing

... . (Dv Associated Press! CHICAGO, Doc. 16. The middle west's economic readjustment from a j, war to a peace basis will be relatively simple compared with that of eastern 'states, according to officers of the Chicago Association of Commerce, who f .have just, completed a purvey of Lusi- , nesa conditions. Reports from large ; employers indicate that virtually all . returning; soldiers will be Riven their r -Old jobs and In Chicago little difficulty tls expected in absorbing the excess volume of labor. , Many eastern states manufacturers r went. into the munition business on a large scale in 1014, receiving heavy orders from the Allies. New plants were erected and old ones converted. As a result, when the United State3 entered the war, the eastern firms were prepared and during the first

year received percent of the jsov-

eminent war contracts, officials of the -f Chicago Association of Commerce s.iid. They added that after the eastern . concerns were loaded to capacity the government turned to the middle west for assistance. Chicago manufacturers "-with few exceptions did not expend .large sums in new plants and machlnery to carry out war orders. In - H majority of instances they continued iheir .regular lines on a minimum production basis and made a side line of the government work by puting on an Additional force, of labor and working day and niaht. ' Because of this policy, most of the Chicago firms found it comparatively 'easy to readjust business affairs, in many cast's the change beinn accomplished in a few days with the same organization and labor forces. Large numbers of women who were pressed into service are gradually being dismissed to make room for the t' soldiers as they return.

(By Associated Press) PARIS, Sunday, Dec. 15. The

French government is considering with a probability of presenting before the chamber of deputies on Dec. 24, a bill proposed by Deputy Jacques Stern establishing among the allies an international financial union. The purpose of this -union would be to distribute the expenses of the war between the nations on the basis , of populations and power to contribute. The proposition is supported by 100 delegates of all parties. It is understood that a similar plan is under

I consideration by the "British governJ ment, but no definite steps have as I yet been taken in London. ' it is estimated that the expenses of

iraucs, wnue iub ixuuui iiuno expenses aggregated 870,000,000.000 francs. Annual budgets at 5 percent, with a one-half of one percent premium for amortization, would total 42,000,000.000 francs. To avoid international bankruptcy, it is declared that such an association is necessary to float an international loan, estimated at 518,000.000.000 francs to be distributed on, a basis of population' and production Each state would guarantee its proportion from customs and other revenues. All exchange questions, freight rates and prices of raw material would be handled through the centralized agencv of the association. Provision is made for the admission of neutral states. Kven the central powers, upon terms prescribed by the. allies may join, thus re-establishing international credit, which is held to be an essential condition to the economic development of th3 world. At Stern, the author of the bill.
