ASK SLOW CHANGE TO PEACE TRADING Two Associations Request Government Not to Can . eel Contracts Abruptly WANT PRICES KEPT UP Credit and Hosiery Men Ap peal for Careful Readjust ment of Business Two national trade associations havo appealed to tho Federal Government not to cancel war conttncti abruptly. One also asks that there be no summary lowering of commodity pi Ices, fearing disruption of business. Tho nppcnls to continue war contracts until they arc completed have been mado by the Xntlon.il Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers, which has Its headquarters hi this city, and the Council of Credit Tiefense of the Xntlonal Association of Credit Men. The credit men ask that present prices be continued to n gradual readjustment ; Industry be permitted to participate In the leailjustnicnt,, and that credits be kept liquid by substituting negotiable Instiuments for open accounts. Tho lioslerynicn have acted In antici pation of n general stopping of work on textile contracts for the Government. A resolution forwarded to the Secretary of War, Secretary of tho Treasury and tho win- Industries board urges: "That tho proper authorities give Im mediate consideration to tho question of 'public Interest here Involved, and that these contracts be continued until their completion, to the end tlaat these work ers' may not be thrown out of employ-1 ment, nnd thnt manufacturers may, while thus engaged In tho completion of Government contracts1, be enabled to di vert their product to ordinary and nor- mal Chilian goods. "It was the sense of the meeting Oswald missed her gie.itly when tie that there would be enough people outi worked at the bench. When she rubbed of employment In the next two ninnthihcr fl,7zr ncl,(1 against his arm he knew from tho shutdown of munition plants without augmenting their ranks with textile workeis, who are working on use ful articles, nnd that If thero was to bo prosperity In this country In tho next year, the purchasing power of the pub lic mut not be curtailed too drastically." It will be the purpose of the credit nten, ns announced bv,J. II. Tregoe, secretary-treasurer of 'flie association, to secure for this program not only tho Indorsement and co-operation of the -.".-000 members of tho association, but lo Impress the conclusions Reached upon the business men of the country and the Government authorities. "It Ispilmarlly essential that the Gov ernment shall not at this time abruptly 'terminate Government contracts upon which tho larger percentage of our in dustrial resource has been concentrated and which would merely ser to disrupt the co-ordination between capital and labor so splendidly achieved for the prosecution of the war," said Mr. Tregoe. "It Is essential thnt tUVj transition from n war to a peace basis, in so far as Government contracts urn concerned, be accomplished In orderly and methodical fashion and without undue haste. "The Credit Men believe that the Gov ernment recognized this need and wilt be guided by these consideration!). "The second conclusion reached Is that tho prices of commodities bo not sud denly lowered, that the stocks of mer chandise are Inio sense excessive ex cept those accumulated solely for war purposes and that there Is every reason why, with tho demands lo he made upon us from abroad, prices should not de cline to a pre-war basis: that would bring disorder and dlslrcs.
