us. TORECRUIT
ALLLABOR FOR
WAR INDUSTRY
Employment Service viii
Assume Charge to Re-
duce Turnover.

Recruiting OF all labor needed for
the government. This announcement
was made last night by the War La
hor Policies Board.
Under the new arrangement, made
voluntarily by the interests immedi-
ately involved, the United States En-
ployment Service win assume charge
of the recruiting Of all unskilled la
Dor. Operation Of the plan will be-
gin July Is.
Must Drop Competitien.
All employers engaged on war work
will be called upon to abandon COM
petitive labor recruiting and to make
the Employment Service their exclu-
sive agents. Efforts will be made to
utilize local labor supplies as far as
possible. All recruiting will be con-
Quoted so that Withdrawals from non
war industries will be distributed
Justly. Labor priority rules will be
determined by the War Labor
Policies Board in harmony with the
principles laid down by the War In
dustries Board.
The program will be put into ef-
feet gradually and with due con-
sideration of the Importance of the
adjustments necessary. The cen
tralized recruiting will be restrict
ed at hrst to unskilled labor, but
as rapidly as possible thereafter the
service will be extended to skilled
branches.
At the outset authorization will
be given for the hiring Of unskill-
ed labor without solicitation, for
recruiting labor for railroads, farms
non nonwar work, and Off en-
ployers whose total forces do not
exceed 100 workers. and for general
hiring of skilled labor.
Commenting upon the plan. Felix
Frankfurter, chairman OF the board.
1aid:
1T is a war measure designed to
stimulate production, to relieve the
anxiety of the workers of the coun-
try. and to lift the pressure from
industry. Already conditions affect
ing the unskilled workers so es-
sential to the production of ships
and munitions OF war have become
critical. Neither men nor the plants
are capable under existing circum-
stances OF doing their best work
prerequisite and preliminary to sue
cess at arms.
Large Proportion Unprodactive.
"The records Of the Department OF
Labor show that from 25 to 70 per
cent of the available common labor
is not productivity employed. Fever
ish competition rushes men and
women from place to place. with the
result that the national energies are
wasted and the patriotism OF the in
dividual workers frustrated. The la
Dor turnover in the war industries
has become intolerably great
Various departments OF the gov
ernment have under the chaotic pri-
vats labor recruiting system been
stealing labor from each other. Es-
sential industries have been bidding
for workers employed in and needed
by other essential industries. Waste
full competition between essential and
nonessential industries has been re-
corded

SHORT.WEIGHT men
FOR RIGOR OF Law
Pro6teers of This Kind Promised
Summary Treatment.

There is handwriting on the wall for
the Washington dealers using short
weights according to Food Admins
traitor Wilson. They are to be dealt
with summarily as profiteers accord
ing TO a statement issued yesterday
from his office.
THE fsod control law" says Ad-
ministrator Wilson. declares that it
Is unlawful to engage in any discrimi-
nation and unfair or deceptive or
wastefuI practice or device In
handling or dealing in or with any
necesSaries.
Intentional short weighing is an
unfair and deceptive practice and will
be deemed sufficient cause for revoca-
ton or suspension of license or stop
page Of supplies.
Conviction or plea of guilty or for
feiture of collateral in the police court
will be evidence of violation of the
food control law.
The cooperation OF George NJ. Rob
erts, superintendent OF weights and
measures, has been heartily promised.

AUTOMATIC PHONES
SHELVED FOR time
Plan WouIi Not Lead to Improve
ment Now. Company Says.
Washington will not have automatic
telephones for the present.

Washington will not have automatic
telephones for the present.
This decision has been reached by
officials OF the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company who have
worked for months on plans for INSTALL
ing the automatic telephones here to
reduce the congestion due to the war
The United States Bureau Of Stand
ards believes the automatic telephone
system will be both practicable and
desirable here and will so recommend
to the Public Utilities Commission, 1t
was learned yesterday.
The commission will give a public
hearing on the question June ., at
which time the facts gathered by the
Bureau OF Standards in q compre-
hensive Investigation of the telephone
systems in various cities Of the coun-
try will be presented.
On March 10. last, the telephone
company announced its intention of
proceeding with the installation Of the
automatic telephones. but ]. L. Swaze,
general counsel for the company, later
told the public utilities commission the
plan has been abandoned. 1t is un-
derstood the company's contention is
that the phones could not be installed
quickly enough to relieve the added
burdens caused by the war and lead
to improved service.
