TO MEET LABOR SHORTAGE
l.. c. Marshall Designated as Head of
Bureau for Adjusting War Work
Prob ems.

An nvestigation Of the problems
relative to the proper adjustment of
the labor supply, one Of the serious
questions bearing upon maximum pro-
duction in the war industries, is to be
made by the Council of National De
Tense. The work has been put under
the immediate direction of L. G. Mar
shall, dean of the school of Commerce
and Administration Of the University
of Chicago, who has been designated
as chief of the section of Industrial
Service.
In a general way, Mr.. Marshall has
been directed to undertake work along
these lines:
/. To determine present and prob
able future demands for labor In war
Industries.
g To determine, In connection with
the Priorities committee of the War
Industries board, the relative priorlties
of the labor demand.
3. To arrange for the supplying of
the demand through the Department of
Labor or such other governmental or
civilian agencies as can best meet the
demand.
4. To determine the needs for dilu-
ton of labor, including the introduce
ton Of women into Industry, and rec
ommend policies to be followed In re-
gard thereto.
Mr.. Marshall has given his time re-
Gently to the special consideration of
labor matters as affecting certain pro-
curement divisions of the War depart
ment, and thus takes up the new work
with broad general information and
special detailed knowledge of num-
Der of the more pressing problems.
1t is not contemplated that there will
be created under the council any agen-
cies for executive action with respect
to the problems concerned. The pur-
pose Is to have section to which
these various labor problems may be
brought for common consideration. The
new section will work In close CO.
operation with the War Industries
board and its Priorities committee,
and will, like the War Industries board,
bring to the council digested informa-
ton from all government departments
as to the above subjects. Policies can
then be worked out to obtain the most
efficient utilization of existing agencies
and to facilitate the development OF
such new agencies as may be neces-
sary.

active part in the great battle is evil

lists sent over by General Pershing.

The bolsheviki government of Russia
was concerned mostly last week with
the landing Of Japanese troops In
vladivostok. The press expressed the
fear that this was the first step in the
occupation of Siberia, and the commits
sioners demanded that the Japanese
depart, threatening otherwise to de
clare war; If the Japanese really are
on conquest bent, they would ask moth
ing better than that, but America and
Great Britain probably stand in the
way for they do not wish to have Rus
STA throw herself utterly into the hands
of the Germans. Indeed the foreign
consuls at Vladivostok promised the To-
cal authorities the troops would be
withdrawn soon.
Delayed dispatches from Hardin said
American marines also had been land
ed at Vladivostok and were in control
of the docks while the Japanese were
guarding the railway and ammunition
depots.

Allied Relief Fund
Collection Cost Low

The annual report of the National
Allied Relief Committee, Inc, made
public yesterday, shows that $1o.o00,-
600 which the organization has raised
since its establishment in 1915 was
collected at a cost not exceeding II
cents on the dollar, and that recently
the expense has been reduced to less
than 9 cents. Since January, $685.
47412 has been raised.
Edwin G. Merrill, chairman of the
committee, said in the report: "The
officers and directors of the committee
expect to raise money for purposes
and needs supplementary to the activi-
ties of the American Red Cross, and
in no sense in competition Herewith.
There are many desirable relief or
ganizatiors in France and elsewhere
which do not seem to come within the
scope of the Red Cross, and the policy
of the National Allied Relief Commit
tee will be to send out its appeals
for purposes of this kind, as it has
been doing for some months past.
"The committee does not expect to
ask for money for general relief pur-
poses, as the Red Cross now is amply
able to take care of the larger relief
