DENIES SCARCITY OF LABOR
Secretary Wilson Says Only Problem
Before the Country ls Matter
of Proper Adjustment

If the labor supply can be made
mobile it will be ample to meet the
war needs of the United States, &C.
cording to a statement issued by Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson, in outlining
the new program Of his department.
'There Is an ample supply of labor
both for the army and for industry"
he added. "The problem is one Of
proper adjustment"
The secretary pointed out that in
the first year the war would take only
about per cent Of the countrys
workers-less than the percentage OF
unemployed under normal conditions.
He contrasted this with the fact that
during the first year of the war Eng
land called out Is per cent of her
| workers.
Within a few days Mr.. Wilson will
announce the appointment of a cabinet
of six men, who will advise with him
on methods to be adopted to assure a
maximum output Of war necessities.
The board will be composed of a rep
resentative of the general public, two
/ men from the ranks of labor, two
| from the Industrial and commercial
field and widely known Socialist and
economist.
Congress will shortly give Its atten-
ton to the labor problem and already
sentiment is growing there In favor OF
measure which while not conscript-
ing labor generally would apply COM
pulsion to the wilfully unemployed.
Such a measure is likely to be intro
duced soon as q number of leading
senator's are working on the problem.
Secretary Wilson discounted recent
ly expressed opinions on the scarcity
of labor and presented some figures to
bear out his contention. He said that
under normal conditions 100000 per-
sons are idle In the United States,
Against this the country has drawn
100000 for military service. If every
one works. and Secretary Wilson Is OF
the opinion that the nation has Few
slackers, the nation will be able to
bear the burden 1t has taken up.

i'm BRITISH TRENCHES
American Troops May Continue
Study of Warfare There.
Final Consideration In the Matter Has
. Been Left to the Discretion Of
General Bliss.

Washington, Feb. 6. - American
troops may appear in British trenches
on the Flanders front as a result Of
studies now being made both here and
In Europe.
If the prospect suggested Is carried
out, American units would be passed
through the British training system
from receiving camps to finishing
courses In front-line trenches, drawing
supplies and equipment from British
sources until graduate battalions were
withdrawn for Incorporation In General
Pershing's army.
The suggestion came from British
officials through General Pershing. It
is still under consideration at the war
department, but final action probably
rests on recommendations of General
Bliss, who Is considering 1t also in
conference with the supreme war coun-
Gil
The plan Is q development of the
proposal made at the time Of the first
meeting Of the war council that Amer
lean troops might be sent to England
for training, releasing British forces
there for front-line duty. The object
sought is to hasten the expansion Of
the American army in France. BY the
use of British shipping, training camps
and supply lines, 1t has been urged
that General Pershing's force could be
supplemented without a proportionate
increase in the demand on shipping.
Details of the plan are not available
for publication. 1t Is known however,
to have encountered numerous prac-
teal objections here, which also oc-
cured to General Pershing in forward
ing the suggestion. In its original form
| the plan contemplated the training OF
$50 infantry battalions Of 1000 men
each through British facilities.
There are difficulties Of cross-trans-
portation involved and also disimilari-
ties in training methods which arise.
It can be said, however, that the Amer
lean government Is not inclined to let
those block any means Of increasing its
forces in France, provided the results
to be attained justify the efforts neces-
sary to carry out the project.
There has been q suggestion recently
that separate American expedition
airy force, cooperating with the British
under a separate commander and dis
| tinot from General perShinp's army.
might offer solution to some Of the
obstacles. There has been nothing
available thus far to indicate that this
plan is about to be adopted.

OHIO TO LEND MILLION
TO COUNTRY BANKS
VIII Enable the Farmers to
Purchase Tractors.

Columbus, Jan. 30.--By direction OF
Governor Cox, the state Industrial
commission mas held up 100000 Of
state funds, which 1t was about to in
vest In miscellaneous bonds, and this
will go, instead, to country banks to
enable them to lend money to farm.
ers to buy tractors.
This is the first move to aid the
farmers in financial way in the pur
chase of tractors and to overcome an
embarrassment which has impeded
the progress of the tractor to the
Ohio farms.
Tractor manufacturers and sales
men, In recent conference with the
governor, said their chief difficulty
had been to get the country banks
to lend farmers money to buy trac-
tors. BY guaranteeing sufficient
funds to the country banks it is pro-
posed to eliminate this objection en-.
tirely and make 1t possible for every
Trustworthy farmer VINO needs a trac
tor to have one.
"The American farm from now on
will be the main battlefield Of tho
war; said Governor Cox, "and the
tractor will furnish me heavy artil
lery for turning out the food mum
tions."
A tractor school is to be opened in
the new coliseum at the state fail
grounds in Columbus Feb. II, under
the supervision of the Ohio State uni
versity college of agriculture.

AGAINST CHANGE
IN LABOR LAWS
Committee on Women in Industry
Points Out Dangers of Lax
Enforcement.
keep UP PRESENT STANDARDS
Allowing Manufacturers 70 Exceed
Legal Hours Of Work Sure to Re-
suit In Injury to Women
and Children.

(From Committee on Public Informatlon.)
At the bi-monthly meeting of the
committee on women In industry Of
the advisory commission of the coun-
ell Of national defense, held recently
in Washington, one Of the fundamen-
tai measures presented was the con-
sideration of motion concerning the
enforcement of the hours of labor for
women In industry.
Attention was directed to the fact
that the Massachusetts war exemption
board had granted repeated exemp-
lions to manufacturers to exceed the
legal hours of work as specified by
the Massachusetts law for the en-
ployment Of women. The committee
reaf1rmed its conviction that the Ia
Dor laws must be maintained and en-
forced in order that the stress Of con-
| ditions during the war may not re-
suit in injury to working women or
children, and in order that standards
of working conditions may not be low
cred. It therefore deplored action In
any state which may result in possible
exemption from the operation of labor
laws.
The committee on women in indus
try was appointed by the council of
national defense to advise on women's
employment In such ways as to bring
about the maximum Of effectiveness
Of the woman power Of the country.
One of its main functions Is to advise
on the replacement Of men by women
workers and to see to it that women
are not subjected to overstrain in the
new occupations, or existing wage
standards undercut.
The committee on women In indus
try has a membership Of "a women
85 Of whom are representatives OF Ia
Dor and the remainder experts on la
Dor problems and representatives Of
the employers ard of the general pub
lie. The officers of the executive com
mittee Of the committee on the WON
en- in industry are Mrs. Borden Hari
man, chairman; Miss Edith Campbell
vice chairman; Mrs, V. Everit Macy
treasurer Miss Pauline Goldmark
secretary, and Miss Amy Hewes. exec
utive secretary.
