type Of disability they could employ and
at what tasks.
"a second QUESTIONABLE, on the back
page, requested employers to give de-
tailed information regarding the dis
abled men then in their employ. The
purpose was to ascertain the positions
held by disabled men as basis for
study of the rehabilitation work"
Several thousand industrial plants re-
turned these qucstionnaires offering to
employ at specified tasks approximately
5000 men afflicted by various disabili-
ties.
"a state committee. consisting of Ad-
jutant General Frank ID. Beary, as chair

Brumbaugh, March 49, 1918, to study. in

habilitating crippled soldiers and sailors
in Pennsylvania.
"As result it may be safely said

AID STATE IN CAMPAIGN

Pennsylvania. first state in the Union
the rehabilitation of its disabled SOL
diers and sailors returned from war
service, has already found tentative en-
ployment opportunities for 10000 men
handicapped by various disabilities
This Is revealed in n bulletin just
issued by the State Department Of Labor
and Industry. Cessation of hostilities
has assured that far fewer than $4,000
men will be returned to Pennsylvania
unable to re-enter their former occupa-
tionS.
Some large concerns have announced
an intention to handle the rehabilta-
ton question themselves, insofar as
their own former employees are involved.
Notable among these is the II. G. Budd
Manufacturing Company, Twenty-hfth
street and Hunting Park avenue, which
has nearly 700 men in the uniformed
service. Places will be found for every
one of these when they return.
"Pennsylvania's Part in the National
Plan for Rehabilitating and Placing in
Industry Soldiers and Sailors Dsa hled
In War Service" Is the title of the
bulletin. 1t tells in detail of Pennsyl-
vanla's preparation for handling the vast
problem.
How the problem was approached Is
told as follows:
Seven months before the rehabita-
ton act was passed by Congress. the first
step in a Statewide plan for proper
placement in industry of war veterans,
handicapped by various types OF dis
ability, was outlined before a large
group of employers. employees, industrial
surgeons representatives of civic and
other associations attending the fifth
annual Welfare and efficiency con-
ference of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Labor and Industry at the
State Capitol at Harrisburg in Novem-
Der, 1917.
"One result Of that conference, in ad-
dition to impressing the Importance Of
the rehabilitation problem upon the in
dustrial representatives present from all
sections Of the state. was the develop
ment of a questionnaire which, in Jan
uary, 1918, five months before the Fed
eral rehabilitation act was passed, was
sent to 10000 industrial plants in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This questionnaire designated thirty
eight different types of disability and
requested employers, as a patriotic duty,
to specify, according to their knowledge.
how many men handicapped by each

DOUBTS HER SON IS SLAIN
Mrs. George Long Refuses to Accept
War Denartment's Message

Although officially notified by the
War Department that Private Joseph
Long, of 1921 Main street, Darby, had
died Of wounds sustained in battle. Mrs.
George Long refuses to believe her son
dead and has declined to accept the
money on her sons life, which an indus
trial insurance company offered her.
"I'I take no insurance money from
Uncle Sam or from any insurance COM
pany," said Mrs. Long yesterday, "un-
til l am positive that my boy Is dead.
He wrote me on September 10 that he
was in base hospital suffering from
the effects Of being gassed and that the
doctors were sweating the poison out Of
him. A week later l received word
from the War Department that he had
died of wounds.
"I know some dreadful mistake has
happened. l still have my service flag
with the two blue stars flying from the
window and I will not change one of
the stars to gold until I have better
proof that my boy is gone"
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1918-11-20

Another benefit was that II prepared
the Commonwealth, in a measure, to
solve it's own problem OF rehabilitating
its crippled soldiers and sailors In the
event that the work had by any reason
become decentralized and had devolved
upon the several States"
Employers need have little fear, the
bulletin says, that disabled soldiers In
industry will have. any marked effect
on workmens compensation costs, due
to the possibility of such workers being
morn susceptible to accident or that
additional injuries might prove more
costly than those occurring to able
bodied workers.
In this connection statement by
Harry A, Mackey, chairman OF the
Workmen's Compensation Board. is
quoted, in which he says: ut may be
! stated that judicious distribution OF
industrially trained disabled soldiers and
sailors in proper tasks in industry will
probably have no effect on compensa-
| tion insurance rates" and also points
out that a decision by the Compensa-
| tion Board, sustained by Common Pleas
established the precedent that a COM
pensation award is to be based on in
juries received through n given accident
even though that injury creates totaI

Ray Harry Tompkins, young man
who lived here last year, registered
here and then disappeared before the

is listed to go to camp with the next

There is good deaf Of mystery about
the man, no one in the city seeming to
know him, as he lived here for but a
short time. 1t seems that he was a mar
ried man with four children. which
fact would probably have entitled him
to deferred draft classification, but he
and his family have disappeared en-
tirely, apparently without leaving a
trace, and he has Dade no effort to
send in QUESTIONABLE or claim defer
red classification. Neither has he sent
any kind of word to the exemption
board that might explain his absence.
Tompkins, while here. was noted for
his unsociability. having but little to
do with anyone and never speaking of
his past life or his intentions. Search
at the Pennsylvania town, which he
gave as his former home when register
ing, has revealed nothing of him, ex-
scept that he formerly lived there, He

The prisoners who have been work.
ing on the tool contracts will be put to
other trades, some of them going to
the chair industry, some out to the
various state farms and some may
even be sent as far as Council Bluffs.
