He urged the resolution on the ground
that prohibition adversely affects a

was calculated to accomplish nothing

WASHINGTON. Jan. Measures
to check competition for labor between
the war industries and government
agencies have been taken by the De-
partment Of Labor. This was announced
to-day after delegation Of Virginia

mental to the governments war pro-
gramme. Industrial plants arc being
assured that all real labor needs will
be met by the United States Employ
ment Service. in whose hands the dis
tribution Of >he available labor supply
has been placed by Secretary WILSON
Mobilization of~shipyard workers, a
department statement tonight said, has
been placed entirely in the hands of the
employment service by the Shipping
Board. Independent recruiting by the
board and the individual plants will be
discontinued to permit concentration
of effort during a two weeks campaign,
beginning next Monday, which will cul-
inmate in a national shipbuilders
registration week February II.
Confusion and suffering are said to
have resulted from careless statements
as to shipyard needs, attracting many
men to places where an ample supply
of workers already had been gathered.
Published statements of the number
OF men who will be wanted have been
misinterprcted." said the statement,
"as meaning that great numbers are
wanted now, whereas they are wanted
only in limited numbers and of par
ticular types at any one time. Men
should stick to their jobs until the de-
partment tells them that there is q
shipbuilding position waiting land what
the wages and housing conditions are.
"By registering in the Public Ser
vice Reserve, men can be assured that
they will! be told when they will be
wanted. The reserve now is listing
men willing to serve on railroads, in
lnunition plants and in the divisions
of the army which require skilled me-
chanics.
Employers of labor, even in So
called essential industries, will be
helped by the success of the registra-
ton, which will make it possible for
the Department of Labor to make
fair distribution of all calls for men,,
and to minimize and equalize the drain
on industry which results from un-
regulated competition for ms a between
war Industries and different branches
of the government. Labor is in entire
sympathy with the creation of this
reserve, because it will heIp to prevent
the great hardships which fall upon
workingmen by having no certain way
of knowing whether or where there

Plan Tall Apartment House
Sixteen Story Building to Go
Up in Murray Hill

A sixteen story apartment house, to
be one of the tallest buildings of its
kind in the city. will be constructed by
August Hcckscher on the site of the
former editice of Old South Church,
southwest corner of Thirty Eighth
Street and Madison Avenue, in the very
heart of the Murray Hill section. For
years it was thought the Murray Hill
covenants included under its restrictive
clauses the old church.
The sale of the property in 1913 to
Messrs. Mandlebaums for Improvement
with apartment houses was followed by
long litigation brought by the Murray
Hill Association, of which J. P. Morgan,
George S. Baker and many other we'll
known people are members and reside
in that section, to have a legal ruling
on the question as to the real force Of
the Murray Hill covenants.
The Court of Appeals determined
that the word dwelling in the restric-
tive clauses was broad enough to per-
nit the construction of an apartment
house on the site. The structure will
be opposite the business building just
built on the westerly side of the ave
nue. by Mr. Heckscher.

Brazil Whips Big
Army Into Shape
Mobilization Plan Involves
Several Hundred Thousand
for Defence
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

RIO DE JANElRO, Brazil. Dec TO-
Plans for the mobilization of an army Of
defence to be composed OF several hun
drcd thousand men are being put into
execution with almost fevertsh hast.
but no announcement has been made
that Brazil viii send troops 10 Europe
1t is generally believed that this fight
ing force is to remain in Brazil
When Brazil declared state of war
to exist with the German Empire the
Brazilian army was composed Of $4,000
men. with officers enough for 10000.
Plans were made Immediately for in
crcasing the standing army to $4,000
men by January /, 1918, with the posi-
bility OF further increasing it to 1O0,-
900 within the year.
The mobilization plan provides for
three lines of defence, the first to
eventually comprise 100000 youths be-
tween seventeen and thirty. TO assure
this number, it is said IN official cir
cles that conscrption will take the
place Of the voluntary system of en-
listment, which has been in effect until
now.
The second line is to consist of an
army OF 100000 men between thirty
and thirty seven, with detachments in
every city and town in the republic.
neSe men are 10 pe In0DlilZeO on war
footing, ready for service at short no
tice, although it is not believed that
they will be kept continually under
arms, the plan apparently being to or
ganize them as home guard and per-
nit them to attend to their business
affairs, dcvoting stated periods of time
to drill.
In addition to these two armies, there
is to be a reserve army, to be known as
the national guard, comprising men be-
tween thirty and forty-four. The
officers of this force nrc to be chosen
from government administrative Off
