The reorganization Of the national Ia

Department Of Labor was detailed in a
statement issued yesterday by. J. b.
Densmore. director-general OF the
United States Employment Service.
Mr.. Densmore says that all inde-
pendent recruiting of labor by industries
throughout the nation, with five excep-
tions, will cease on the above named
date, and full control OF the labor sup
ply will be taken over by the Govern
ment with a view to meeting the short
age of unskilled labor in war indus
tries Federal control was necessitated
BY the almost universal practice Of la
Dor stealing and poaching by war indus
tries" he said. %. 'r ".
The essential features. Of the plan are
Recruiting of skilled labor TOR war
production will be subject to Federal
regulations. Private employment OF
common labor will be restricted.
Unnecessary and expensive labor turn
over (Which is In some eases Zoe per
cent. a week) will be reduced. PRODUCE
ton of essentials will be increased.
Non-essential Industries will be drawn
upon to supply the necessary labor for
war work with as little Inconvenience to
the employers as possible.
Labor will be distributed through
thirteen Federal districts. each In
charge Of a superintendent OF the United
States Employment Service. States will
be in charge of State directors. who Will
assume local control. with the aid oil
community labor boards.
No labor will be transported out or
any community by the United states En-
ployment Service without the approval
Of the State director nor shall any labor
be moved from one State to another
without the approval of the United
States Employment Service.
The movement Of labor from COM
munity to community or from state to
state by any other. service will be dis
couraged.
Each State will be assigned a labor
quota when a survey now being made Is
compiled. Tho figures will show the
common labor to be drawn from among
men engaged in non-essential industries
IN any State.
State quotas will be distributed IN
turn among localities. Within each To-
cality employers in non-war work will
be asked to distribute the local quotas
from time to time among themselves.
The requirement that unskilled labor
must be recruited solely through the en-
ployment service does not at present ap'
ply to the following five cases:
I. Labor which is not directly or In
directly solicited.
2. Labor for the railroads
3. Farm labor, which is to be recruited
in accordance with existing arrangement
with the Department OF Agriculture.
4. Labor for non-war work.
5. Labor for establishments who's,

POLITICS STYLES
IN NATIONAL POT
AS HAYS MIXES

From this time on big national
politics bearing on the Congressional
elections next fall and on the 1920
situation. may be expected TO begin
to sizzle.
This is true both as to the Republi-
can and Democratic camps.
As a matter OF fact there has been
great deal OF political activity on
both sides for months. On the Demo
cratic side. by reason OF the fact
the Democrats have their national
committee organization and their
Congressional organization in good
shape, and maintain a large and cost
ly headquarters in Washington. and
for others reasons, the activity has
been the greater.
With the election OF VIII II. Hays.
Of Indiana, as chairman OF the Re
publican National Committee. and the
organization OF the Republican Con
Eressional Committee. the Republicans
viii get into the game much more
earnestly and Systematically.
New Headquarters Here.
The word comes to Washington
that Chairman Hays will soon be here
for consultation with leaders. Also,
it is learned today that plans are
maturing for establishing and main
tanning headquarters in Washington
in a way which has not been at
tempted by the Republicans before
in recent years.
Chairman Hays and the men around
him will without delay go to work
TO build up the Republican organiza-
ton in every State where there is
any reasonable hope Of Republican
success. As the organization has
fallen sadly into repair in SONS
States, this will be work OF no
small magnitude.
The Republicans point to the fact
that the Democratic national commit
tee has been proceeding for much of
the winter to organize the country
on the zone system. The Republicans
charge that the Democratic leaders
are saying openly that these times
or war are not fitting times 10 be
playing politics. and, while talking
this way, are in the political. game
more earnestly and actively than
ever, because they do not want TO
lose their grip. on Congress or on
the Government
The great stake which both sides
are playing Tor. that IS. the ono for
which they will play first, Is control
OF the next House and OF the Senate.
The Republicans assert with conf
dence they will get the House i'm No
vember. As to the Senate, they main
tain that in spite Of the Democratic
lead they have a fighting chance.
The Democrats will appeal to the
country to sustain the President and
not allowra Congress to he elected
which will be controlled in part or
whole by the opposing party.
VIII Demand Efficiency.
The Republicans ara going to make
their campaign largely in support OF
the demand for the utmost efficiency
in the conduct Of the war. Under
