STORIES OF LABOR
 UNREST IN WEST
 ARE EXAGGERATED
Enemy Agents Are Said to Be Spreading Rumors of Dissatisfaction Which
 Does Not Exist

Washington, January 23.-StOries O1 labor unrest, agitation by radicals, and shortage of workers in the northwesi States employment service to be great " exaggerated and misleading. Work ingmen in other sections of the coun- try were warned particularly against going to Oregon without first ascer- taining what jobs are in sight.
 Sources of the misleading reports were not mentioned by the service. Statements recently have been made by the department of justice offi- cials. however that persons in sym pathy with the enemy were turning their attention to the spreading of discomfort and false rumors.
 Only five classes of skilled workers are needed now in the Oregon ship building district, the service an- nounced. These are shipwrights, ship filters, caulkers, boilermakers and ma chinists, and only men in the first three grades can proceed with req sonable assurance of employment. Log : gers will be needed in early spring. All should apply first to the Port land office of the United States ein- ployment service
 Seventeen wooden and five steel shipbuilding concerns are operating now in Oregon and employing 15.000 men," the statement siad.
 These have a present capacity for 90 ships. Other yards are in contem- plation and probably will be built in the near future. This will mean the employment of many more men. Just now the yards in existence will need 5000 more men in the next two months. but only of the five classes enrmer- ated.'
 The public service reserve, the reg. istraton agency of the enjoyment service, already has obtained the names and qualifications of more than 1.000.- 900 workers of all classes. who have sgnified their willingness to go where their services are needed in an indus- trial capacity to win the war

This Ban Will Continue for Several Days Until the Weather Permits Bet

ZONE SYSTEM FOR ALL COAL HAULING BEING PLANNED BY GARFIELD
Plants Making Non-Essen- tials Not Offering Ship ments Even After Re-
 suming Operation

Washington, January 23-An unOf- ficiaI embargo on all freight except food and munitions practically was in effect tonight east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers as n result of Director General McAdoo's authorized embargo today on three eastern trunk lines. Although the restriction was applied formally only to the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio east of Pittsburg, and the Philadelphia and Reading, other rail- roads accepted little freight today, particularly if it was destined for east ward movement.
 This situation probably will continue for several days, until mild weather per mits railroads to begin to move the great quantity of general freight accumulated during the past two weeks of winter storms.
 Factors contributing to the unofficial eastern embargo were the priority of movement for coal and foodstuffs and the continued preference in coal deliver ie.' given to domestic consumers, ships and certain industries. The ban on coal consumption was officially lifted at mid- ,night last night, but scores of manu- facturing plants. unable to divert coal from the stream flowing to the more essential industries, remained closed or prepared to suspend operations in a day O. two, when their available coal stocks are gone. This fact and the contention of many shippers that ordinary freight had little chance of prompt delivery, tended to curtail shipment offerings today.
 To reduce railroad mileage in hauling of coal some sort of zone system of

START MOVEMENT FOR MEMORIAL

The action of the Board of Aldermen Monday night in appoint
ing a committee to plan for a suitable memorial for the boys from this
city who took part in the World War and to arrange a celebration for
their homecoming will meet with hearty approval on the part of the
people. 1t is something that the municipality owes to her sons and to
itself, for it would be d~iscredited, indeed, if it took no recognition
whatever of the heroic sacrifice that the young men of this community
have made for their country.
As this is to be a lasting memorial a great deal of care must be
taken in deciding what form it shall take and where it shall be locat-
cd. This memorial must be a credit to the city fifty o r one hundred
years from now as well as something worthy of the city today. Perth
Amboy cannot afford to be penurious in an affair of this kind; to do
it right plans must be carefully made.
It is fitting that the Board of Aldermen should take the first
definite steps in arranging for the memorial as it must be a citizen S
movement in every sense Of the word. The people of Perth Amboy
must have a definite say in the matter. The EVENING NEWS would
be glad to publish suggestions as to what form the memorial should
take Let there be a popular expression ON the subject; no doubt the
ideas thus advanced would be of great assistance to the committee
that will have the matter in charge in formulating its plans.
As for the welcome home that it is planned to give the boys, the
difficulty arises as to the most suitable time for holding the cdebra-
ton. The boys who went from Perth Amboy to serve in the army are
widely scattered. They will be coming home at different times. Some
ae already here with their honorable discharge. Others r coming
in every day. The bulk of them, however, may not arrive before next
summer. if then. In the meantime many of those already mustered
out may have left town.
However, no doubt the committee AN arrive at some conclusion
that will come as near reaching every man as any plan could. In the
meantime let the arrangements proceed for both the welcome home
and the permanent memorial. " is the big thing to do; it reflects
credit upon the city.
