GETTING MEN To
JOBS HUGE TASK
Sec'y Wilson Recommends
That Railroads be Allow
ed to Reduce Rates.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - The
passing Of laws that will prevent the
transportation Of armed guards or
private police from one state to an
other by either strikers or employ
ers is urged on congress by Sec'y of
Labor Wilson in his third annual re-
port today. The secretary sees in
the enactment of such legislation a
great step taken toward the elimin-
alton Of violence and bitterness from
labor disputes.
Ways and means of getting the
jObless TO the job is another great
problem before the department he
said. To facilitate this, Sec'y Wilson
advises that power be vested in the
interstate commerce commission to
authorize special rates on railroads
for such purposes.
other pressing needs meriting the
attention Of congress, Sec'y Wilson
lists as follows:
Minimizing the unnecessary hard
ships which injured federal employees
have to go through before obtaining
redress.
Necessity for some steps to be
taken prohibiting aliens voting for
federal officers.
The European war has altered the
departments status as a revenue
producer, through the tremendous
decrease in head-tax receipts from
incoming aliens under the provisions
Of the immigration law, the secre-
tary reported. This falling off has
placed the department on the debit
side of Uncle Sans ledger. The in
come under this law, together with
revenues from other sources. exceed
ed the disbursements OF the whole
department during the previous fis-
cal year by about S1,7S5,S3s. De-
crease in immigration since June so,
1914, has reduced the revenues OF
the department $2,07O,139 below it's
disbursements.
Pres't Wilson is informed that the
work Of the department has been es-
pecially important in the tasks OF
labor distribution and in the media
ton Of labor disputes. The secretary
declared that the cause Of industrial
peace had been given an impetus
through the act providing for medi-
ators in industrial strife.
Pointing TO the constantly increas-
ing differences arising between en-
ployer and employe he asks that ad-
ditional funds be provided to enlarge
the scope Of this branch Of the SER
vice. Out Of the AZ cases before the
department for adjustment during
the fiscal year. &c were amicably
settled and in only six cases did the
efforts of mediatOrs prove unsuc-
cessful. Several Of the cases are now
pending. with the probability OF an
early settlement.
Sec'y Wilson also directs attention
to the success of his plan in building
up. comparatively with state and mu-
nicipal employment offices. an inter
related system of public employment
exchanges on a national scale.
