EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
FOR u. S. PROPOSED
Secretary Wilson Would Extend Ser
vice of Department Devoted to Con-
Meeting Men and Jobs.

WASHINGTON Expansion of the
governments public employment SER
vice by creation of separate bureau
of employment within the department
of labor, is the chief recommendation
of Secretary Wilson's annual report,
made public Thursday. The work, it
is declared, has outgrown the facilities
of the bureau of immigration, from
where it has been directed. Beginn-
ing in a small way in 1907 it now
covers the country through the post
office and other departments.
The assistance of the postoffice de-
partment, Secretary Wilson says, has
been particularly helpful Some 10000
postoffices are distributing blanks
which the seeker of a job may fill out
and send through the mails free of
postage. When applications of en-
ployers and employees in the same
neighborhood enter the same post Of
flee, the postmaster brings them to-
gether without forwarding the appli-
cation.
The departments attitude towards
strikebreaking is set forth in connec-
ton with it's public employment pol
icy in these words:
1.-THE department of labor should
not make itself medium for convey
ing information of demands for wage
earners where labor disputes are the
cause of the demand. That there is
already a sufficient supply of labor
there is as true If it is unemployed on
account of dispute over terms as if
it were unemployed from the lack OF
employment opportunities from other
causes"
Expansion of the service is urged to
provide for the employment of the
aged. Modern industrialism, it is de-
clared, condemns to the scrap heap
too many able-bodied and active
Drained men, whose only defect is
their having passed an arbitrary aec
limit.
