Government took over the Free En-
ployment Bureaus of Ohio, under the
supervision of U. S. Employment
Director for Ohio Fred G.. CrOxton.
A registration of unskilled labor is
now taking place at these Bureaus
for the different war industries and
firms having Government contracts.
The cities which now have Free
Employment Bureaus are Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus, Canton,
Dayton, Youngstown, Akron, Spring
field, Hamilton, GAINESVILLE, Ports
mouth, Lima, Steubenville, Chilli
cothe, Mansfield, Marietta, Tiffn,
Sandusky, Marion, Athens and Wash
ington C. H. 1t is planned to en-
large a number of these offices.
1t is contemplated establishing en-
ployment Offices in number of other
Ohio cities. The cities now under
consideration are Alliance, Ashtabula,
Barberton, Bridgeport, Coshocton,
Defiance, East Liverpool, Fostoria,
Ironton, Lorain, Middletown, Mt. Ver-
non, Niles, Newark, Piqua, st. Marys
and Warren.
A State Advisory Committee has
been selected to assist U. S. Employ
ment Director Croxton in establishing
these offices and to pass upon the
qualifications of applicants for Super
intendents of the different offices, aid
in their selection, and assist in all
other ways in an advisory capacity
to make the U. S. Labor Service eff
ficient and determine other questions
in connection with the securing of
Labor. The personnel of the State
Advisory Committee is composed of
Messrs. Fred c.. CroXton, Columbus,
representing the U. S. Government,
chairman; John J. Quinlivan, 314
Cherry st., Toledo, vice president of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor
and secretary of the Toledo Central
Labor union, and Arnold Bill, 307
Superior street, w., Cleveland, Sec
treas. Ohio State Council of United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and join
ers of America, representing Labor;
VIM. A. Grieves, Columbus, employ
ment manager for the Jeffrey Mfg.
Co., Columbus, and C. S. Robinson,
Youngstown, vice president and gen
eral manager, Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Co.; Thos. J. Duffy and Herbert
l.. Eliot, Columbus, representing the
Ohio Industrial Commission.
An Organization Committee has
been selected, whose duties as at
present outlined are to see that the
Community Advisory Committees are
created and organized. The State
Organization Committee consists of
Messrs. Fred C. Croxton, represent
ing the U. S. Government, chairman;
Hubert S. Marshall, End Nat. Bank
Bldg, Cincinnati, sec.-treas. lnterna-
tional Journeymen Horseshoers' un-
ion, representing Labor, and Whiting
Williams, Cleveland employment mgr
for the Hydraulic Pressed Steel Co.,
Cleveland, representing the employ
ers. The Community Advisory Com
mittees will be created in every city
where a Free Employment office is
now in eXistance or may be esta-
blished. Labor will name one, the
employers one, and these two will
select the third member. In case they
are unable to agree upon the selec-
tion of the third member, the selec-
ton will be passed on to the State
Committee.
1t is understood the Community
Advisory Committees will have a
large hand in supervising the regis
tration of Labor, passing upon the
proportion of workers to be trans
ferred from one industry to another
in their community and determining
and solving many other questions and
problems which will arise, subject to
appeal to the State Advisory Com
mittee.
An attempt is here made to outline
the plan and scope of the work con-
templated and at the same time fur
nish organized labor with the per-
sonnel of the committees which have
been selected so far to inaugurate it.
No doubt some changes in plans, etc.
will take place but enough is present
ed at this time to demonstrate the
Importance of Labor selecting the
very best representatives to act for
them upon the Community Advisory
Committees.
The reputation, character and ex-
perience of the Labor men selected
to serve upon the State committees
are such as to assure Labor that it's
interests will be protected if assailed
by those unfriendly, and fair treat
