viii Encourage Development Of
Building Announced.

Creation of a new division in the
department Of labor, to interest the
nation in public works and private
construction, was announced by Sec
retary of Labor William b. Wilson.
1t Will gather and distribute informa-
tion to enable private industries to
make the transition from a war TO a
peace basis without serious Interrupt
tion, "obviating uncertainty or hesi-
tation for want of the practical data
upon which business judgment must
depend" the official announcement
says
Louis f. Post of Chicago, assistant
secretary of labor, in statement as
serting that the government does not
look forward to any unemployment
crisis and that there is no reason for
alarm over the future. urged revival
of building to tide over the period OF
industrial reconstruction
Many municipalities throughout the
country. Mr. Post added, and many
states as well have during the war
either abandoned or suspended large
public Improvements. The fedora gov
ernment itself has practically aban-
doned its building program FOR The
last two years.
This accumulation of work should
be undertaken at once as a means OF
providing buffer employment TO carry
us beyond the transition period and
take up such unemployment slack as
may result"
