CALLS FOR AN INQUIRY
INTO THE LABOR QUESTION
Senator King Believes Central Bu-
reau for Employment Of Help on
Federal Work Is Needed.

A resolution calling for an tnvestiga-
tion into the labor question generally as
it affects the operations OF the federal
government for war has been intro
duced in the Senate by Senator King Of
Utah. The investigation is to be made by
the Senate committee on education and
la Dor.
Senator King explained that he be-
lieved central organization for the
employment OF labor on government
work should be established.
.In this way" he said. "the govern
ment departments would not be bidding
against each other. promising higher
and higher wages in order to get the
men needed. At present the Navy De
partment is bidding for labor against
the War Department, and the shipping
board is bidding against both.
There should be some way of stabilZ-
ing wages for labor during the war. AT
present every one of the government
departments and bureaus is bidding
against the others and against the pri-
vate employers of the country. II has
brought about bad situation in the
country, in which the wages of labor
keep increasing. and the increase in
cost of living follows on the heels of
the wage increases. creating a vicious
circle which seems to have no end
