Many Men Given Work
by Government Labor
Bureau in November

The United States employment
service, under the Department OF
Labor, during the month of No
vember secured positions for $50
persons. OF this number there were
II carpenters, "a clerks, 1913 butcher
workers, 65 common laborers,
cooks, 3 blacksmths. 2 machinists,
7 chauffeurs, 2 statesmen, 9 office
boys, 4 elevator operators, 3 engi-
neers and l fireman. P. ]. Doran
is the superintendent of the service.
1t is estimated that about $500
former employees of the stock yards
are in the service. When these men
joined the army they were assured
that their positions would be open
on their return. In the meantime
others have been employed to fill
the vacancies. A great readjustment
will be necessitated when the men
in the service return to fill their
former positions. One packing
house let the men retain their old
working numbers and they will oc-
cupy the same positions they did
before entering the service.

URE PROPOSES
new METHODS
OF CITY BUYING
Would C|othe City Purchasing
Agent With Full Power as
Check on All De-
partmentS.

City Commissioner IRE, superin-
tendent of the department of &C
counts and finance, believes that the
city should have a purchasing agent
with teeth and claws" In other
words, he believes the purchasing
agent should have power to pur-
chase. He does not agree with
Mayor Smith that a city the size of
Omaha does not need a purchasing
agent.
"In the past we have had such an
agent merely by sufferance," he said.
Il am in favor of clothing the pur-
chasing agent with full power by
ordinance.
Should Consult Heads.
AT the same time he should ad-
wise with the heads of departments.
For instance, if the superintendent
of the fire department wants to buy
certain kind of hose the purchas-
ing agent should investigate and see
whether such hose is likely to be
best.
Furthermore, the whole system
of supplies for the city should be
changed. At present if depart
ment wants dozen lead pencils it
makes a requisition for them. This
is sent to my office, warrant is
made out, someone sent out to buy
the pencils, which are then deliv-
cred to the department. We should
have supply department and the
manein charge would then issue the
dozen pencils to the department
asking them and that department
would sign a receipt. This would
save an immense amount OF book
keeping.
,.@ Standardization Needed.
Things should be standardized.
I believe there is no excuse for
using an expensive automobile in
city business. A cheap car an
swers all purposes, and when we
have only such machines we can
keep on hand a supply of tires and
other accessories which will be
standard. If new tire is needed
it would be issued when the man in
charge of supplies sees that the old
one is worn out"
The city can save the salary sew
eral times over by having a compe-
tent man in full authority, he says.
The question of a purchasing
agent is now pending before the
city council.

PEACE TO AID
POTASHPLANTS,
NOW BELIEVED
Importations Will Not Come,
as Foreign Supply Needed
for FertiIizing Fields
Anew.

What will be the effect of peace
on the potash industry in Ne
braska" is question that is being
asked many times these days. In
view of the fact that Nebraska sup
plies potash that is absolutely free
from borax, which scientists claim
is deleterious to plant life, and is
used for fertilizing purposes only,
the potash companies of this state
welcome peace, inasmuch as the
United States will have the job of
feeding the greater part of the
world for the next five years.
To supply the demand for potash
that is so essential to the production
OF food. the various potash concerns
will have to keep their plants at full
capacity. Use has proven that all
fertilizers to have greatest pro-
ductlve power must contain at least
2 per cent of potash, and in some
cases as high as per cent is
needed.
War Starts Industry.
When war was declared, this
country found itself unable to pro-
cure the potash that previously had
been imported from Germany and
which was so essential, and to a
considerable extent lost in the pro-
duction of cotton and foods. Ac-
ccrding to statistics, it is estimated
the loss in cotton alone for the
period of the war was over $685.
100000, and as the loss was becom-
ing appalling, the Department of
Agriculture resorted to all means
within its knowledge to produce pot
ash, and led to the discovery of
the potash lakes at Antioch and in
the wstern part of the state.
They encouraged and helped the
industry in every way, so that to-
day We have become entirely indie
pendent of the importation of for
eign potash. When the foreign
countries have reconstructed their
own business to such an extent that
they can enter the market of the
world and compete with US, our
potash industry will no longer be
an infant industry and will be able
to meet the competition that comes
from that source, should it come.
The foreign countries will need all
the potash they can produce to fer
tilize the soils that have been
wrecked by cannon and bomb, SO
it is doubtful if they will have any
for shipment for years to come.
1t is reasonable to assume that
this government will follow its pol
icy of protecting home industries
with a suitable tariff act, which will
be help to this country. The out
look therefore is nothing to be
gloomy about, and should make
every man interested in the potash
industry extremely happy, especial
ly in view of the fact that all of the
potash of Nebraska was and will be
used in the production of food, !
which will be so necessary to feed
the starving people of Europe.
Peace will help the potash indus
try is the answer to the question.
