All Questions
Especial Dispatch to Tho Tribune)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. 4.- Full vot-
Ing power has been granted to the two
women members recently added to the
Community Labor Boards by the en-
plooyment service of the Department of
Labor. When the boards were first
established an order restricted the
voting power of the women members
TO questions concerning women. Criti-
clsm and protests had been coming
into the Labor Department ever since.
The explanation given by the en-
ployment service for restricting the
vote of women members was that they
wanted them to devote their entire
time and attention to the problems
concerning women. The new powers of
the women members of the Com
munity Labor Boards include the
decision of questions concerning
the methods of recruiting and distrib-
u-lng labor in the various communi-
ties.
In addition to the appointment Of
women to the Community Labor
Boards, the employment service an
nounces that two women will be placed

sorry boards have been composed of
