with the belief of Mr. Budd that labor
need not fear unemployment when war

Budd declared "The Go eminent Is

over thousands of wnr work contracts

"Speaking only as an Individual, giv
ing my private opinion," said Mr .'ones,
"I believe the Government will lake no
steps tovrard cancelation without thor
ough study of their possible effect, both
upon labor and capital. If either is
unemployed, tho people cannot pay the
taxes that must bo levied In ono form
or another to pay war hilts,
"In my opinion, there will bo no abrupt
or drastic action In regard to the
termination of Government contracts for
the Ordnance Departmtnt.'
Proceed With Contracts
Mr. Jones tnld the Government must
determine what will bo a suftlclent-re-rerve
of waPhiatcrlals as n precaution
against even a chance of renewed hos
tilities, or the necessity of enforcing tho
terms of pence,
"And meantime," he declared, "wo
will proceed with contracts Just as
though the war was In full swing. We
lmve received no Instructions to the, con
trary from Washington."
The army abroad, Mr. Jones continued,
must be kept supplied while on police
duty. There is a certain need for pro

there must be n release of capital In-

"As to labor," Mr. Jones remarked.
the difficulty will be to dlstrinuie
workers quickly to the point where they
re most needed, which ought to ine-m
thnt tho Government will taper off Its
contract requirements In such a way as
to prevent unnecessary employment."
Alba B, Johnson, president, and
Samuel M. Vauclaln. vice president of
the Baldwin locomotive Works, one of
this city's grentest Industrie,, are both
convinced that no serious business or
Industrial troubles will result from -the
ending of the war.
Ilaje Plenty of Work
"So far as tho Baldwin Locomotlvo
Works ntt' concerned," Air, Vauclaln
declared, "we havo enough contracts
ahead to keep us busy for .1 ery long
time, nnd certainly over n period suf
ficient to permit tho readjustment from
a wnr basis to a peace basis, without
any radical turnover In our labor."
Mr. Vauclaln said tho men now In
the AmerfCan .army would -not be re
turned to civil life for a jear or more.
nd that meanwhilo much readjustment
could be accomplished with that very
end In vjew,
Mr. Johnson declared that the Bald
win works had not reVeived any ordeis
from the Government 'concerning the
curtailment of Government work. When
such orders como there will be a slight
reaction, he said,
But we have learned to do things
